Merdeka Curriculum in the Formation of Pancasila Learner Profile through Social Studies Learning: a Literature Review
Abstract
The learning sequence has been altered by Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum, particularly in terms of fostering the Pancasila Learner Profile's character. Students must develop the character values listed in the Pancasila Learner Profile. Teachers are supposed to mold pupils' character through classroom instruction. One of them is studying social studies. Social studies education examines societal issues so that students can learn how to deal with them. Connecting earlier research from Sinta and Scopus-accredited journals is the aim of the study. Finding, assessing, and interpreting literature created by academics, researchers, and practitioners is accomplished through a systematic literature review, a methodical, topic-focused, and repeatable approach. According to the research's findings, the Merdeka Curriculum needs to be applied as best it can in order for pupils to develop the Pancasila Lesson Profile. Students can comprehend the societal issues that surround them by studying social studies. The goal is for students to be able to think critically, solve difficulties, and help solve real-world societal issues.
