Strengthening Nationalism and Insight in Kenteng Youth through Pancasila-Based Street Law Education

Introduction

Strengthening nationalism and insight in kenteng youth through pancasila-based street law education. Evaluasi pendidikan Street Law berbasis Pancasila di pemuda Desa Kenteng. Studi ini menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pengetahuan hukum, nasionalisme, dan partisipasi sosial.

Abstract

Social transformation focusing on youth through Pancasila-based legal education has been implemented in Desa Kenteng using the Street Law model. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this model in strengthening nationalism and national awareness among village youth. The Street Law method, which integrates Pancasila principles with legal theory and practice, is designed to enhance legal understanding while instilling national values in a local context. The results of the program indicate a significant increase in legal knowledge, with basic legal understanding rising from 30% to 75% after six months. Additionally, there was a substantial increase in nationalism and awareness of Pancasila values, from 40% to 85%, and a rise in social participation from 20% to 60% among village youth. Despite these positive outcomes, challenges such as uncertainty in practical legal application and the need for ongoing support from government and local legal institutions remain. This study recommends integrating national values into legal education policies and adapting program models to local contexts to ensure broader and sustainable impact in other regions.  

Review

This paper presents a timely and relevant study on strengthening nationalism and civic insight among youth in Desa Kenteng through a Pancasila-based Street Law education model. The initiative addresses a critical need for social transformation and national awareness, particularly within local communities. The integration of the globally recognized Street Law methodology with Indonesia's foundational Pancasila principles offers an innovative approach to legal education and civic engagement. The abstract effectively sets out the study's aim to evaluate the effectiveness of this adapted model, promising valuable insights into fostering national identity and legal literacy among young populations. The reported findings demonstrate significant positive outcomes, underscoring the potential efficacy of the program. A substantial increase in basic legal understanding, from 30% to 75%, alongside a marked rise in nationalism and awareness of Pancasila values, from 40% to 85%, within a six-month period, are compelling indicators of success. Furthermore, the reported increase in social participation from 20% to 60% suggests a broader impact on community engagement. These quantitative results highlight the program's capacity not only to impart legal knowledge but also to deeply instill national values and encourage active citizenship, making a valuable contribution to both legal pedagogy and national character building. While the presented outcomes are highly encouraging, the abstract also hints at crucial areas for further elaboration in the full manuscript. The mentioned challenges, such as "uncertainty in practical legal application" and the "need for ongoing support from government and local legal institutions," warrant deeper analysis regarding their nature, impact, and proposed mitigation strategies. Furthermore, a detailed description of the evaluation methodology—including data collection instruments, sample size, and analytical framework for determining the reported percentage increases—would significantly enhance the credibility and generalizability of the findings. Expanding on these aspects, particularly regarding the sustainability and scalability of the model beyond Desa Kenteng, will strengthen the paper's recommendations for integrating national values into legal education policies and adapting program models for broader impact. Overall, this study offers a promising framework that, with further methodological detail and discussion of long-term implications, holds significant potential for advancing civic education in Indonesia.
