Implementation of Pancasila Education Based on Local Wisdom 5-T (Teing, Toing, Titong, Tatang, Tatong) in Forming Solidarity Habitus of Elementary School Students in Manggarai

This study investigates the implementation of Pancasila Education enriched with local wisdom Teing, Toing, Titong, Tatang, Tatong (5-T) in shaping the solidarity habitus of elementary school students in Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Employing an interpretative paradigm with a qualitative case study approach, the research explores the integration of national values (Pancasila) and local cultural values (5-T) as a contextual strategy for character education. The study was conducted in elementary schools in Langke Rembong Sub-District, involving principals, Pancasila Education teachers, upper-grade students, parents, and community leaders. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis with a hybrid approach. The findings reveal that 5-T values function as a “spirit of solidarity” that strengthens the internalization of Pancasila through exemplary leadership, contextual learning, and critical dialogue. The solidarity habitus is formed through sustained habituation in daily school and community practices. This study contributes theoretically to knowledge decolonization in character education and practically to the development of Pancasila learning models grounded in local wisdom.
