Abstract
This study addresses the limited contextualization of Pancasila education in elementary schools, which tends to emphasize theoretical knowledge rather than fostering students^ social character, particularly social tolerance. This study aims to develop an ethnopedagogy-based learning model to strengthen social tolerance among elementary school students. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach by adapting the Borg and Gall, Dick and Carey, and Rowntree models. The study involved 98 fifth-grade students from two elementary schools in Bekasi Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive and quantitative techniques.
The results show that the developed learning model is highly feasible based on expert validation and effective in improving students^ social tolerance, as indicated by increased posttest scores compared to pretest results across indicators such as respect for diversity, cooperation, social empathy, and mutual respect.The novelty of this study lies in integrating ethnopedagogical values into a structured Pancasila education model that emphasizes culturally responsive and contextual learning. This study contributes to the development of culturally responsive pedagogy and offers an innovative approach to strengthening social tolerance in elementary education.
