Review

This paper addresses a highly relevant and timely topic concerning the strengthening of character education within Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum, specifically through the lens of *Profil Pelajar Pancasila*. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing a literature review to analyze and evaluate existing character education models. The stated aim to identify and assess innovations in character education programs is well-aligned with contemporary educational reform efforts in Indonesia, making it a valuable contribution to the ongoing discourse on character development in the nation's educational system. The research successfully identifies various innovative character education models, including value-based learning approaches, character education through extracurricular activities, and the integration of character education across all subjects. These models are reported to positively impact student character development, fostering critical attitudes such as social care, ethics, and integrity. The paper's conclusion advocating for character education as an integral part of the curriculum is sound, and its contribution lies in synthesizing existing approaches and highlighting both their benefits and the prevailing challenges, such as the lack of understanding and full involvement of all education stakeholders. While the literature review offers a valuable synthesis of existing knowledge, a primary limitation is the absence of empirical data collection. The "evaluation" part of the stated aim, therefore, relies on interpretations derived from existing literature rather than direct observation or primary stakeholder feedback on the practical implementation of these models, particularly concerning *Profil Pelajar Pancasila* within the Merdeka Curriculum. Furthermore, the abstract, while discussing "various innovative models," does not explicitly detail how "Profil Pelajar Pancasila" itself is analyzed as a specific model or how its unique components are evaluated within the identified innovations. Future research would significantly benefit from incorporating empirical studies to validate the reported positive impacts, focusing on the practical implementation challenges and success factors of *Profil Pelajar Pancasila* in particular, and exploring effective strategies to enhance stakeholder engagement and understanding.
