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
