The effect of teacher empowerment-based course program on teachers' knowledge of Pancasila character on the Indonesia-Malaysia literacy

“…Interactive and creative teaching methods allow teachers to integrate Pancasila values and Indonesian-Malaysian literacy into their lessons in interesting and relevant ways (Gill & Berezina, 2020). For example, teachers can use stories from both cultures as teaching materials, allowing students to understand the meaning of Pancasila characters concretely (Yafie et al, 2020). The use of techniques such as group discussions or regional literacy-based projects can also encourage students to actively participate in understanding and internalizing the values.…”
