Abstract

In Indonesia's diverse society, implementing Pancasila's third principle—"Persatuan Indonesia" (Unity of Indonesia)—is crucial for fostering patriotism among elementary students. Despite formal curriculum inclusion, challenges persist in effectively translating abstract unity values into meaningful learning experiences. This study investigated how the third principle of Pancasila is implemented to foster patriotism among fourth-grade students in classroom settings. A qualitative descriptive case study was conducted at SD Negeri 68 Palembang involving 30 fourth-grade students and one homeroom teacher. Data were collected through systematic classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis over three months (October-December 2024). Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman framework, incorporating data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing with triangulation to ensure credibility. Findings revealed high frequencies of collaborative behaviors aligned with unity principles, including active cooperation (91.7%), respectful communication (87.5%), and inclusive participation (79.2%). Student interviews demonstrated strong comprehension of unity concepts, with 93.3% understanding unity as cooperation and 90% expressing shared national identity. The teacher employed systematic pedagogical strategies integrating character education with academic content through storytelling, democratic conflict resolution, and experiential learning activities. However, 20% of students exhibited passive engagement patterns, indicating need for differentiated instructional approaches. Results align with social cognitive theory and support democratic patriotism development rather than blind conformity. The study confirms the effectiveness of teacher-led character education when combined with systematic classroom practices. Findings contribute to character education literature by providing empirical evidence of successful Pancasila implementation and practical frameworks for educators seeking to enhance patriotic attitude development among elementary students.

Abstract

A virtual tour is an audiovisual medium in the form of images or videos of a certain location/place, allowing it to be used virtually without having to visit the location in person. The purpose of this study is to determine students' interest in IPAS (Integrated Science and Social Studies) learning using virtual tour media among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 16 Palembang. This research is motivated by the phenomenon of the lack of learning media used during the learning process, resulting in low student enthusiasm during IPAS lessons.This study is a quantitative descriptive research using a survey method. The sample consisted of 27 fourth-grade students. Data collection techniques included questionnaires, observation, and documentation, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics.The analysis results show that virtual tour media can increase students' interest in IPAS learning. Based on the student response questionnaire, the average score was 83.35%, with 25 students showing a high level of interest when using virtual tour media in IPAS learning, representing 92% of the 27 respondents. Therefore, virtual tour media can increase students' interest in IPAS learning in grade IV at SD Negeri 16 Palembang. Consequently, the use of learning media is essential in enhancing the interest of elementary school students.
