Abstract

This article critically reassesses the relevance of Thomas Lickona's character education theory in explaining civic character within the post-truth digital environment. As digital platforms increasingly shape how citizens access information, form opinions, and engage in public life, civic character is no longer formed solely through traditional institutions but through algorithmically mediated, affective, and epistemically unstable environments. A significant research gap exists in that prior applications of Lickona's framework have not adequately examined its explanatory adequacy in post-truth digital contexts, nor proposed systematic reconstructions grounded in digital civic theory. Using qualitative library research and critical-conceptual analysis, this study examined scholarly literature across civic education, media studies, and digital political communication. Data were collected through purposive literature selection and analyzed through four interrelated stages: conceptual identification, thematic comparison, critical interpretation, and conceptual reconstruction. Conceptual triangulation was employed to enhance analytical rigor. The analysis finds that Lickona's triadic model moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action remains normatively valuable as an ethical foundation for civic character, particularly in fostering civic discernment, empathy, and responsibility. However, the theory is analytically insufficient for addressing the socio-technical realities of post-truth citizenship, including algorithmic mediation, affective virality, and epistemic instability. This article proposes a reconstructed framework of digital civic character that extends Lickona's theory through (1) critical digital discernment, (2) digital civic empathy, (3) responsible digital civic engagement, and (4) algorithmic awareness. The study contributes to the theoretical renewal of character education for democratic life in digital society.

Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to explore, analyze, and describe the strategies implemented by elementary schools to develop the Pancasila Student Profile. Specifically, the study examined school programs, stakeholder involvement, and institutional practices that support the internalization of Pancasila values and character development among students at Palembang Nature School. Method: The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach and was conducted at Palembang Nature School, also known as SAPA Palembang Elementary School. The research participants consisted of the principal, teachers, students, and parents or guardians. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis. The data analysis process involved data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data credibility was established through source and technique triangulation. Results: The findings identified five major programs implemented to develop the Pancasila Student Profile: (1) Zero Waste, (2) Science Project, (3) Language Literacy Week, (4) Cultural Week, and (5) Survival. These programs facilitated the development of students’ character, faith in God Almighty, knowledge, creativity, independence, responsibility, and democratic attitudes. The successful implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile was supported by three main factors. Novelty: The study provides an integrated description of how nature-based elementary school programs can be used to develop the Pancasila Student Profile through experiential, environmental, scientific, cultural, literacy, and survival-oriented activities. The findings demonstrate that the Pancasila Student Profile can be effectively developed through a whole-school approach involving school leaders, teachers, students, and parents.

Abstract

This study investigates the development of digital populism in political communication research through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and a bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database. Using the PRISMA screening framework, 18 relevant journal articles published between 2015 and 2025 were identified, suggesting that although research in this field remains limited, it has shown a notable increase, particularly after 2021. The findings indicate that the concept of digital populism has evolved from an initial focus on online activism and networked resistance to a more comprehensive framework that explains how populist messages are strategically created, distributed, and amplified through digital platforms and their underlying logics. Bibliometric mapping reveals key thematic clusters of digital populism, nationalism, and populism, with discourse analysis as the dominant methodological approach. Furthermore, the synthesis highlights five defining characteristics of digital populism: people-centrism, emotional communication, political visualisation, virality, and direct participation. Despite these insights, the literature remains heavily concentrated in Western contexts, with limited contributions from Asia and the Global South. Accordingly, future studies should broaden data sources and pursue comparative research across diverse sociopolitical contexts to enhance theoretical and empirical understanding.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji proses pembentukan identitas kewarganegaraan dalam komunitas Bobotoh Persib Bandung sebagai bentuk kewargaan kultural yang berkembang di luar jalur formal kenegaraan. Berangkat dari fenomena maraknya keterlibatan komunitas suporter dalam berbagai aktivitas sosial, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode observasi partisipatif, dokumentasi, dan wawancara mendalam. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa identitas kewarganegaraan dalam komunitas Bobotoh terbentuk melalui proses interaksi sosial, internalisasi nilai, serta representasi simbolik yang berlangsung secara konsisten dan kolektif. Nilai-nilai seperti loyalitas, solidaritas, kepedulian sosial, dan nasionalisme lokal terbangun melalui pengalaman bersama dalam mendukung klub sepak bola, serta diperkuat oleh aktivitas komunitas dalam ranah sosial dan budaya. Komunitas ini juga berfungsi sebagai ruang publik alternatif yang memungkinkan warga menegosiasikan identitas, nilai, dan keterlibatan sosial secara otonom. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa komunitas budaya populer seperti Bobotoh memiliki peran strategis dalam membentuk identitas kewarganegaraan yang reflektif, partisipatif, dan kontekstual. Temuan ini memberi kontribusi penting bagi pengembangan pendidikan kewarganegaraan berbasis komunitas dan pendekatan partisipatif dalam memperkuat karakter warga negara di era kontemporer.
