The Existence of the 2nd Principle of Pancasila Values in Efforts to Prevent Lost Generation at SMPN 1 Telukjambe Barat

This study aims to examine the existence of the value of the 2nd precept of Pancasila in an effort to prevent lost generation at Junior High School 1 West Telukjambe. Lost generation refers to groups of people, especially the younger generation, who have lost their direction, values, and identity, so that they are unable to contribute positively to the life of the nation and state. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The research subjects consisted of head of student affairs, PPKN teachers, and students. The results of the study show that: (1) the school has succeeded in instilling the values of humanity, justice, and respect for individual dignity. The application of these values helps students develop an attitude of mutual respect, responsibility, and active participation in the community, which in turn prevents them from getting caught up in an identity crisis or being part of a lost generation. (2) Obstacles are influenced by internal and external factors. Thus, it is hoped that this research can contribute to the development of more effective educational strategies in preventing lost generation.
