Abstract
The 2022 Independent Curriculum puts the Pancasila learner profile as one that frames character education. In our local context, Sumbawa Regent Regulation No. 33 2021 stipulates that character education be implemented by embracing the local values together with the national values of Pancasila. Thus, aligning Pancasila values with local values and knowledge is a good way to implement character education that is relevant nationally. For this reason, we have categorized 309 Sumbawanese proverbs into relevant key elements of Pancasila learner profile. The data were collected from a document, which contains the most complete collection of Sumbawanese proverbs each with its denotative and connotative meanings. The data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively with an element of quantification in grouping the proverbs into good and bad characters and in categorizing the proverbs based on Pancasila learner profile key elements. Our discussion shows how the proverbs strongly enhance the inculcation of Pancasila values through their antonymous metaphors and similes. In conclusion we suggest having selected Sumbawanese proverbs, developed as picture-based character learning materials and resources for use at school. Keywords: character education, Pancasila learner profile, proverbs, Sumbawanese
