IMPLEMENTASI PENGUATAN PROFIL PELAJAR PANCASILA DALAM KURIKULUM MERDEKA SD NEGERI 231 PALEMBANG

Abstract

This study aims to describe how the Strengthening Project of the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) is implemented within the Merdeka Curriculum, specifically in Grade 1 at SD Negeri 231 Palembang. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The main focus is on the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages of the project, as well as the roles of both teachers and students. The findings show that although the school has not yet formed a formal facilitator team, teachers carry out the project independently, relying on prior training and collaboration with colleagues. Project themes are adapted to the school environment and student needs, emphasizing values such as independence, cooperation, and respect for diversity. Teachers play a key role in guiding and encouraging students to actively participate. Challenges encountered include limited time and less-than-optimal student involvement. Nevertheless, the P5 project has a positive impact on shaping students’ character from an early age. This study recommends strengthening teacher collaboration and increasing institutional support to improve the sustainability and effectiveness of the project
