Using qualitative descriptive methods, data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and documentation. Data sources include Civic Education teachers and students, with a focus on nationalist attitudes and efforts to develop them. The results of the study indicate that education based on Pancasila values is very important in building students' morals and discipline.
