JAKARTA - Director of KB-TK-SD Character Education in the Genius Islamic school Eva Nawiyah provides tips on instilling values of Pancasila in children, one of which is through a device-based approach. "Currently, children are very close to gadgets, so even approaches to children must be adjusted," said Eva, quoted from Antara, Saturday, October 1. Eva gave an example, a blog video or vlog containing messages about heroism and Indonesian history and presenting a short video containing how the internalization of the values of Pancasila is. In addition, an approach through a figure can also be a way of instilling Pancasila values in children. Parents and educators at school are role models for them. According to Eva, parents or educators can invite children to work together or visit historical places, invite children to watch movies of struggle together. This activity can be accompanied by providing a logical explanation, an attitude of tolerance for others. "Of course parents and educators must be a fun person for them," said Eva. Eva said that basically children have been able to accept the understanding of Pancasila since the age of three or preschool. At that age, they can be taught empathy, do good to others even though they are of different ethnicity, nation or religion, such as helping or helping when a friend falls. He said, through character education that was instilled from an early age, the internalization of Pancasila values could grow within and within children such as the spirit of patriotism, a proud attitude as an Indonesian citizen and the spirit of love for the homeland and respecting the diversity of ethnic and culturalities in Indonesia. "By instilling character education from an early age, because the growth of positive character in children will make children have a good attitude," he said. He then mentioned the concept of the one day one good character developed by the school where he served. According to Eva, this concept contains character values including Pancasila. Eva emphasized that the values of Pancasila are not only to be understood but need to be instilled in children so that they grow into individuals who reflect these values. Then, coinciding with the commemoration of Pancasila's Sanctity Day on October 1, he advised, "Let's spread the seeds of Pancasila's virtue in every item. Be a human being who is beneficial to the Nation, State and Religion in order to make Indonesia more advanced. Happy Pancasila Sanctity Day 2022,".
