PANCASILA EDUCATION GLOBALIZATION ERA AND THE SUSTAINABILITY OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: SECTORAL CHALLENGES IN SAILING UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of Pancasila Education in maritime colleges in shaping the character of students with integrity and ethics, as well as its suitability in facing the challenges of globalization. Pancasila Education, which functions as the philosophical and ideological foundation of the nation, not only fulfills the curriculum but also strengthens the moral integrity of students, especially in the maritime sector. By using active learning methods, such as case studies, group discussions, and community service, students are invited to internalize the values ​​of Pancasila in real contexts. This study also found that Pancasila Education helps students maintain their national identity amidst the flow of foreign cultures that tend to be individualistic. In addition, the integration of the values ​​of togetherness, mutual cooperation, and social justice supports the development of soft skills, such as the ability to work together and social responsibility, which are relevant in the global job market. The results of the study indicate that Pancasila Education contributes significantly to preparing graduates who are not only technically competent, but also have social and environmental concerns, so that they can become agents of change in sustainable development. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen the Pancasila-based curriculum so that graduates are ready to face global challenges without sacrificing national values.
