Abstract

This research aims to develop a design for a Socratic thinking learning model based on contemporary puppet media as a project to strengthen the Pancasila student profile at Sultan Iskandar Muda Junior High School. The Socratic thinking learning model embodies attitudes and actions in responding to curriculum changes, which fundamentally aim to achieve the Pancasila student profile by enhancing students^ critical thinking skills through questioning, analyzing arguments, and exploring ideas in depth. This has an impact on students^ achievements at the level of evaluating information or learning that is oriented towards critical thinking skills. This approach emphasizes dialogue and discussion among students, facilitating the exchange of ideas and perspectives. Through discussion, students learn to listen, appreciate others^ viewpoints, and build better arguments. Socratic thinking skills refer to students^ ability in the art of thinking through the skills of questioning and answering. Thus, the Socratic thinking model involves a more interactive and participatory engagement in the learning process. If combined with contemporary puppet media for activating the learning process in the classroom, it can create a comprehensive and holistic learning atmosphere, as this media introduces themes or concepts to be discussed through the stories presented in the puppet show. This can serve as a starting point for raising questions that encourage students to think critically about the values contained in the stories, such as justice, courage, and cooperation. This is oriented towards achieving the Pancasila student profile. Schools must be able to design a coherent teaching and learning program in line with the independent learning curriculum, so that the accuracy of achievements is targeted with indicators of faith, devotion to the One God, noble character, independence, mutual cooperation, global diversity, critical thinking, and creativity.
