Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Learning Management in Realizing the Pancasila Student Profile in Senior High Schools

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in shaping students' character and competencies, particularly in alignment with national educational frameworks. The Pancasila Student Profile is an initiative by the Indonesian government aimed at fostering faith, global diversity, collaboration, independence, critical reasoning, and creativity among students. This study evaluates the effectiveness of learning management in realizing the Pancasila Student Profile in senior high schools. Using a quantitative pretest-posttest experimental design, the research examines the impact of structured learning management interventions on student outcomes. The sample consists of 200 students, divided into an experimental group that receives enhanced learning management strategies and a control group that follows standard teaching methods. Statistical analysis reveals a significant improvement in students’ competencies after the intervention. The paired sample t-test shows a substantial increase in posttest scores (t = -11.58, p < 0.0001), indicating that the intervention effectively enhances learning outcomes. The independent sample t-test confirms a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (t = 7.04, p < 0.0001), demonstrating the effectiveness of learning management strategies in achieving Pancasila-based competencies. Furthermore, the Cohen’s d effect size of 0.995 suggests a strong impact of the intervention on students' cognitive and character development. The study highlights the need for continuous improvements in learning management, including teacher training, curriculum integration, and adaptive teaching methods to ensure the sustainability of Pancasila-based education. Future research should explore long-term effects, digital learning applications, and cross-regional comparisons to enhance the applicability of learning management strategies in Indonesia.
