Pelajar Pancasila character development through digital literature in high school
Abstract
Digital literature, broadly defined as any text consumed on a screen, creates a reading environment that pulses with interactivity. This research presents a systematic review examining the contribution of digital reading materials to the formation of Pancasila character among high school students in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether digital literature can genuinely help high school students grow into more Pancasila-minded citizens. The methodology employed is a qualitative literature review, analyzing empirical, methodologically sound, pertinent, and recent articles published between 2021 and early 2025. Google Scholar served as the primary search hub, utilizing keyword combinations such as "Pancasila student character" and "digital literature". Findings indicate a robust correlation between digital media and the multifaceted growth of the Profil Pelajar Pancasila. Various modalities, including web comics, e-books, and project-centered digital modules, were found to have significantly raised students' understanding, involvement, and real-world application of Pancasila principles. This literature suggests that when Teachers harness students' native devices and habits, they help a tech-savvy generation anchor its civic identity within Indonesia's enduring ethical framework.
