STRENGTHENING STUDENTS’ CHARACTERS IN THE PANCASILA STUDENT PROFILE OF THE MERDEKA CURRICULUM AT SMP NEGERI 13 PALEMBANG
The purpose of this study was to gain insight into how students' characters in the Pancasila student profile of the Merdeka curriculum were strengthened at SMP Negeri 13 Palembang, how teachers dealt with the difficulties, and how teachers coped with the difficulties. The participants were students from classes VII.6 and VIII.6 and two English teachers. To address the study's problem, the researcher used a qualitative research method using the following instruments: observations, interviews, and document reviews. The findings of this study revealed that to strengthen students' characters, teachers attempted to incorporate Pancasila student profile elements into English subjects and conduct co-curricular activities such as the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). In English subjects, the elements were aligned with the subject's learning objectives. Meanwhile, in P5, the focus was on reinforcing the elements through participation in a craft project. However, only specific elements could be applied. From the interviews, the difficulties that teachers face include student apathy, a lack of resources, and a lack of physical space. Despite the obstacles, the teachers strived to solve the problem by proposing solutions, such as parental involvement, financial assistance, and infrastructure development to ensure the Pancasila student profile was implemented effectively. Ultimately, this study demonstrates the school's commitment to holistic education and student character development by incorporating the Pancasila student profile in the Merdeka curriculum into learning activities both inside and outside of the classroom.
