Internalization of Pancasila Values ​​Among Students in the Era of Globalization

Abstract

Pancasila as the state ideology and philosophical foundation of Indonesia plays a fundamental role in shaping national character and identity. However, the development of globalization, marked by advances in information technology and the rapid flow of global culture, presents significant challenges to the internalization of Pancasila values, particularly among university students. This study aims to examine the impact of globalization on the understanding and implementation of Pancasila values and to analyze the role of higher education institutions in strengthening the internalization of these values. This research employs a normative legal research method using a literature study approach by examining laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant scholarly works. The findings indicate that globalization has a dual effect: on the one hand, it broadens students’ perspectives and openness to new ideas, while on the other hand, it potentially shifts national values due to the influence of foreign cultures that are not fully aligned with Pancasila. Therefore, strengthening Pancasila education in higher education institutions is essential to instill moral, ethical, and national values in order to develop students with strong character, integrity, and national awareness in the era of globalization.
