This study aims to explore teachers' experiences in instilling national values to students and understanding the meaning of learning Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) and History from the teacher's perspective. This study uses a qualitative Zapproach with an in-depth interview method with a PPKn and History teacher at the secondary school level. The results of the study indicate that teachers instill national values in an integrated manner through formal learning in class and non-formal activities outside the classroom. The methods used include discussions, case studies, project assignments, and the use of actual events as material for reflecting values. This approach is considered effective in forming critical attitudes, social empathy, and pride in students' national identity.
In addition, learning PPKn and History has a strategic meaning in shaping character, national identity, and active and reflective citizenship awareness. This learning also functions as an instrument for preventing social and ideological disintegration. The findings of this study strengthen the results of previous studies that emphasize the importance of the role of teachers in shaping students' national character. However, this study adds a new perspective through a reflective approach based on actual events, which has not been widely discussed in previous studies. This study recommends strengthening contextual and collaborative learning strategies as an effort to present national education that is adaptive to the challenges of the times.
