Implementation of Social Values Learning Strategies to Foster Students’ *Tepa Selira* Attitudes in Pancasila and Civic Education at UPTD SMP Negeri 4 Moro’o in the 2025/2026 Academic Year

Abstract

Differences in students’ backgrounds, habits, and awareness of others’ feelings present challenges to cultivating tepa selira in schools. This study examined the implementation of social values learning strategies, the barriers encountered, and the measures taken to address them in Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) at UPTD SMP Negeri 4 Moro’o. A descriptive qualitative approach involved five purposively selected informants: the principal, one PPKn teacher, and three students. Data were collected through non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that social values were incorporated into learning through group discussions, case studies, collaborative assignments, presentations, and reflection. Implementation barriers included differences in students’ habits, external social influences, uneven awareness of others, limited instructional time, and insufficient habituation. Measures to address these barriers included integrating social values into lessons, enforcing school regulations, and providing educational reprimands and sanctions. The findings highlight collaborative learning, guidance, and role modelling as relevant elements in efforts to cultivate tepa selira. The study provides a contextual account of social values education and underscores the importance of a consistent school learning culture that supports empathy, tolerance, and mutual respect.
