Abstract:

Pancasila education, which is a fundamental subject in Indonesia, is an essential component in the process of molding the personalities of students and cultivating their capacity for critical thinking.  Critical thinking abilities are necessary in the current era of globalization to efficiently analyze and evaluate a wide variety of information. The purpose of this research is to investigate the process of developing critical thinking abilities among tenth-grade students at SMK Pustek Serpong through the implementation of Pancasila Education, and to identify successful teaching tactics and obstacles to learning.  Based on the data, it appears that cultivating critical thinking abilities can be achieved through active and interactive instructional strategies, along with implementing Pancasila ideals to address societal concerns. On the other hand, several issues act as barriers, such as a lack of diverse learning methodologies and difficulties in identifying reliable information.  It is anticipated that this study will contribute to the development of character education within the curriculum, particularly in the context of Pancasila Education. Additionally, the findings of this research can be utilized by educators as a point of reference for implementing efficient instructional methods and enhancing the level of learning.
