CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION




A. Background on the importance of Pancasila education
The Indonesian nation has values ​​that are believed to be true and have universal characteristics, namely Pancasila. In the course of Indonesian history, it has been agreed that Pancasila is the basis of the Indonesian state. In this regard, the Indonesian people must understand the values ​​contained in Pancasila, as an effort to shape national character and not deviate from Pancasila values.
As an effort to shape the nation's character, of course it cannot be separated from education because education is an effort to develop one's potential and creativity, namely religious values, Indonesian national culture.
As regulated in Law No. 20 of 2013 concerning the National Education System: Chapter 1 paragraph (2)
''National education is education based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, which is rooted in religious values, Indonesian national culture and responsive to the demands of changing times''.






Pancasila has a very important role to shape the character of the Indonesian nation. Through learning Pancasila correctly, the Indonesian people will be strong in facing challenges as well as seizing opportunities. Efforts to implement the noble values ​​of Pancasila have encountered obstacles, especially after the emergence of the 1998 reform movement. There is no doubt that Pancasila is the foundation of the state as well as the way of life of the Indonesian nation.
The Pancasila Education course is a course included in the Personality Development Course (MPK) group.






B. The definition of Pancasila


In Sanskrit, Pancasila consists of the word panca which means five and sila/sila which means the foundation stone or foundation. The word sila comes from the word susila, namely good behavior (Wreksosuhardjo in Muhdi et al, 2011: 1336). Pancasila which means five principles or five principles, is the name of the foundation of our country, the Republic of Indonesia. The name Pancasila itself is not actually contained in either the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution or in the body of the 1945 Constitution. However, it is clear that Pancasila is meant to be the five foundations of the Indonesian State contained in the fourth paragraph of the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution, namely:
1. Belief in the One and Only God
2. Just and Civilized Humanity
3. Indonesian Unity
4. Population led by wisdom in representative deliberations
5. Social justice for all Indonesian people
Pancasila was systematically presented for the first time by Ir. Soekarno at the first meeting of the BPUPK "Investigating Agency for Preparation for Independence" on June 1, 1945. Bung Karno stated that Pancasila was a gronslag philosofiche, a fundamental, deep idea, which was the foundation or foundation for a country to be founded. Furthermore, it was also found besides Pancasila which functions as a guiding star or laitstar, as a state ideology, as a nation's view of life, as a philosophy, as an glue or unifier for the nation and as an insight into the Indonesian nation in achieving national goals (PSG UGM, 2012: 1)
Based on the description above, Pancasila has an important position for the Indonesian people in the life of society, nation and state. Therefore, as Indonesian people, we should be able to accept, believe in, and implement the values ​​contained therein in real life and be able to firmly maintain these basic ideas so that we can anticipate developments in the current global era.

This student Active Learning approach method includes:
