Abstract

This research aims to find out how important it is to apply Pancasila values in forming the character of elementary school students. The research method used in this article is a systematic literature review, the author searches for published articles related to the title or research topic that the researcher has determined. Character problems often occur in school -age children , the consequences are minimal understanding of right and wrong attitudes, lack of direction from the school regarding character education. Pancasila as a state ideology has an important role in providing direction for human life. The application of Pancasila values is very important for everyday life, especially in the school environment. It is hoped that Pancasila values will be formed and firmly embedded in the souls of each elementary school student through character education provided by teachers, parents and also the surrounding environment. The aim of character education taught to students is none other than to form a strong personality in accordance with the identity of the Indonesian nation . From what the author found in this research, it turns out that the application of Pancasila values has not fully played a role in forming students' character, so the researcher provides suggestions so that teachers and parents are able to take a role in instilling these values in students and children.
