<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low internalization of students’ character values in Civics Education (PKN), which has predominantly focused on cognitive aspects while giving limited attention to the affective and psychomotor domains. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing character values embedded in Pancasila among fifth-grade elementary school students. This study employed a quantitative method using a One-Shot Case Study approach, involving all 32 fifth-grade students as the research subjects. The instrument used was a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 25 statement items representing five indicators of Pancasila values: mutual cooperation, tolerance, responsibility, deliberation for consensus, and social justice. The data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS version 26. The results revealed that the overall average score of students’ character values reached 86.2, which falls into the very high category, with the highest score in responsibility (89.1) and the lowest in tolerance (83.7). These findings indicate that the PBL model effectively promotes active engagement, critical thinking, and the strengthening of social values within the learning process. Thus, PBL is a relevant and effective approach in Civics Education for instilling Pancasila-based character values from an early age at the elementary school level.]]>
