The Role of Family and School in Instilling Pancasila Values in Elementary School Children

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of families and schools in instilling Pancasila values among elementary school students. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, using an online survey questionnaire administered to 5th and 6th grade students at SDN Payung 2. Three indicators were examined: the role of the family, the role of the school, and students' attitudes as behavioral expressions of Pancasila value internalization. Data were analyzed through percentage categorization with a 4-point Likert scale to determine the effectiveness of each educational environment. The findings show that the family's role is categorized as very strong (100%), the school's role as very strong (97%), and students' attitudes likewise at very strong (97%). No respondents expressed strong disagreement, with only 3–4% indicating disagreement — reflecting consistent character formation across indicators such as politeness, tolerance, mutual cooperation, and discipline. The study concludes that close collaboration between family and school is central to Pancasila-based character formation, producing students who are responsible, tolerant, and prepared to contribute as Indonesian citizens.
