Abstract

The moral crisis among students, such as a decline in respect, responsibility, and honesty, indicates a gap between educational goals and the reality of school practice. This condition demands moral reconstruction through a philosophical approach that integrates universal values into learning strategies. This study aims to analyze the role of learning strategies based on perennialism philosophy in reconstructing students' morals. The study used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by examining 45 scientific articles published between 2013 and 2024 and obtained from the Google Scholar, Scopus, DOAJ, and Garuda Ristekdikti databases. Data collection was carried out through documentation techniques with an instrument in the form of a literature selection sheet based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of identification, selection, thematic classification, and narrative synthesis to ensure methodological transparency. The results of the study indicate that the perennialism learning strategy, which emphasizes reflective dialogue, the study of classical texts, intellectual discipline, and teacher role models, is effective in fostering ethical awareness, moral integrity, and rational thinking skills in students. It is concluded that the perennialism approach is relevant and strategic as a conceptual framework for moral reconstruction amidst value disruption and modern technological developments. The implication is that education needs to reaffirm its orientation toward universal values of truth and virtue to shape an intelligent, characterful, and civilized generation.
