Statistics on Instilling Nationalism Values in Elementary School Students : A Systematic Literature Study

Abstract

The decline in nationalism among the younger generation, especially elementary school students, is a serious challenge in the era of globalization. Many students are more familiar with foreign cultures than their own and do not understand the importance of maintaining national unity. This study aims to examine various strategies for instilling national values in elementary school students through systematic literature studies. The method used is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA approach and the SR (State of the Research) screening criteria which include five selected articles published between the years two thousand twenty and two thousand twenty-five. The results of the study indicate that the strategy for instilling national values is carried out through various approaches such as thematic learning with social studies content, integration of Pancasila values, familiarization with national activities, and participatory competitions. The obstacles faced include students' lack of understanding of the meaning of nationalism, limited learning time, and the negative influence of technology. This article concludes that if learning strategies are packaged contextually and innovatively, national values can be effectively instilled in students. These findings can be a reference for educators in designing relevant learning models to strengthen students' national character from an early age.
