INTEGRATION OF PANCASILA VALUES IN EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: A PHILOSOPHICAL STUDY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL GOVERNANCE

Tutik Sugesti, Gusman Lesmana

Abstract


Educational management practices in Indonesia face challenges in the form of a dominant technocratic approach that tends to emphasize administrative efficiency and achieving performance indicators, while the dimensions of national values have not been systematically integrated into school governance. This situation creates a gap between the ideological foundations of national education and managerial practices in the field. This study aims to philosophically examine the integration of Pancasila values into educational management practices and formulate its implications for school governance. The study employed a qualitative approach with a philosophical inquiry design. Data were obtained through a documentary study of normative Pancasila texts, national education regulations, and policies issued by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, along with a systematic literature review of reputable books and journal articles related to educational management and values-based leadership. The analysis was conducted conceptually, hermeneutically, and reflectively to construct a theoretical synthesis regarding value integration in educational management functions. The results indicate that the values of Divinity, Humanity, Unity, Democracy, and Social Justice have axiological relevance in all school management functions: planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising. The integration of these values results in a values-based school governance model that balances managerial rationality with national ethics. Theoretically, this research contributes to the development of an educational management paradigm based on national ideology, expanding the discourse on values-based management in the Indonesian context. Practically, this research recommends strengthening ethical, participatory, and humanistic school leadership as a foundation for transforming national education governance.
