Abstract
This research aims to determine the internalization of national identity values in students amidst the challenges of rapidly developing information and technology. This is based on the phenomenon of the very rapid development of information technology which has become a value challenge for the younger generation who have gradually abandoned local values as the identity of the Indonesian nation. This research uses a descriptive method using interview techniques, observation and documentation studies. Research subjects included students, the MKDU Jatidiri Bangsa team, and the academic section of Buana Perjuangan Karawang University. The results of the research show that students are facing a phase of degradation of national identity values which can be seen in behavior and grammar which no longer reflect national values. In responding to these challenges, the National Identity Course has become a separate curriculum created by the Buana Struggle University, Karawang. The implementation of this course includes conventional learning in the classroom, field projects by visiting and exploring historical values and national struggles, as well as cultural workshops. Through this learning strategy, students not only receive one-way material but are also given the opportunity to directly experience images of events and express them so that the internalization process does not only come from lecturer information but also from what students have experienced through projects and workshops.
