Abstract

Improving the quality of human resources is a key focus of national development, particularly at the elementary school level. This study aims to examine the application of the noble values of Pancasila in the character formation of students at SDIT Ahmad Yani in Malang City and at SDN 1 Landungsari in Malang Regency. Using a qualitative approach with a multi-site case study design, this study collected data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles and Huberman. The main focus of this study is the application of the six dimensions of the Profil Pelajar Pancasila, namely faith, piety, mutual cooperation, independence, critical thinking, and creativity. The results show that SDIT Ahmad Yani applies character education with a more structured and intensive approach, particularly in the dimensions of faith, piety, and creativity. On the other hand, SDN 1 Landungsari applies Pancasila values in a more routine, traditional manner, while remaining consistent in its religious and social activities. These differences indicate that the success of character education implementation is strongly influenced by each school's resources and context. This research provides an important contribution in understanding the need for a holistic and participatory approach in strengthening Pancasila-based character education.
