Implementing Moral Attitudes in Students Through Citizenship Education in Primary Schools

Abstract

This research aims to find out how students apply moral values to the development of the character of elementary school students who are intelligent, creative and have noble character. Adult moral problems often occur in school-age children, including due to a minimal understanding of right and wrong and a lack of direction from the second party, namely the school, regarding character education. Pancasila as an ideology plays an important role in building the morals of Indonesian society. So Pancasila must be understood and instilled in the nation through the values contained in each point of Pancasila. The research method uses a qualitative approach with literature study. Research data sources are taken from scientific journals, electronic books and other sources. The research results show that the application of Pancasila values can shape the morals of elementary school children through integration with learning and accompanied by habituation based on teacher direction. Moral education which originates from Pancasila should continue to be implemented in the world of education, especially for the initial level of education, namely elementary school, because with this the quality of the Indonesian nation will be better in the future.
