<![CDATA[Social polarization presents a growing challenge to national unity, particularly among young people who are intensively exposed to fragmented digital information and conflicting social perspectives. This study examines the effects of Pancasila education and civic values on social polarization and national resilience among university students. A quantitative explanatory design was employed involving 250 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The measurement model demonstrated adequate indicator reliability, internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. The results reveal that Pancasila education positively affects civic values and national resilience while negatively affecting social polarization. Civic values strengthen national resilience and reduce students’ tendencies toward distrust, social distance, and intolerance toward different opinions. Civic values also partially mediate the relationship between Pancasila education and national resilience. These findings demonstrate that Pancasila education contributes to national resilience when its principles are effectively internalized in students’ civic attitudes and social behavior. Universities should therefore implement contextual, participatory, and value-oriented learning that integrates multicultural dialogue, digital civic literacy, collaborative projects, and community engagement.]]>
