The Influence of Local Wisdom through the Rahmatan Lil Alamin Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project on the Character of Mutual Cooperation Class IV MI MQ An-Nuur

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low level of cooperation character among fourth-grade students at MI MQ An-Nuur, as indicated by a lack of cooperation, individualistic attitudes, and a tendency to differentiate between friends. Strengthening cooperation character from an early age is important through activities that are relevant to students’ daily lives. This effort was carried out through the Project for Strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile Rahmatan Lil Alamin (P5RA) with a local wisdom theme. This study aimed to analyze the influence of local wisdom through P5RA on students’ cooperation character. The research used a quantitative method with Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis using SmartPLS 4. The results showed that local wisdom had a significant effect on P5RA (coefficient 1.111; p-value 0.000; t-statistic 8.855) and a positive effect on cooperation character (coefficient 0.748; p-value 0.000; t-statistic 15.503). P5RA had a significant but negative effect on cooperation character (coefficient -0.654; p-value 0.001; t-statistic 3.291), as did the indirect effect of local wisdom through P5RA (coefficient -0.489; p-value 0.003; t-statistic 3.008). These findings indicate that local wisdom can directly improve students’ cooperation character, but its implementation through P5RA still needs improvement. The implication is that schools should optimize P5RA activities based on local wisdom and encourage active cooperation among students.
