| Summary: | Scientific community is an association of scientists who act in a particular scientific
profession, resulting in the exchange of ideas to sharpen and broaden their scientific insights.
Pancasilaist science as one of Universities subjects in character development deals with quite
complicated problem when it is attempted to be incorporated in a scientific forum. Those
problems involve: Firstly, lack of human resources who would seriously explore Pancasilaist
science. Secondly; resistance among other scientists towards Pancasilaist science which is
considered more as a doctrine rather than a science. Thirdly; professional forum to consolidate
Pancasilaist scientists that is generally preceded by seminars or congresses that are perceived as a
scientific project represented by Directorate General of Higher Education as government bodies.
Research method took form of literature study covers these methodical elements: A
description by exposing related issues to national cases; Interpretation by construing thoughts of
the founding founders containing scientific-philosophical values. Heuristics by discovering the
novum–new thing or scientific innovation– which is associated with leading to formation of
Pancasilaist science’s epistemic communities.
Analysis upon a wide range of literature and author’s personal experience during teaching
the subject pinpoint to the following things: First; Forum for epistemic community of
Pancasilaist science is needed to accommodate countless lecturers’ aspirations and experience of
Pancasila Education during their lectures in the universities. Second; epistemic community could
be a means to cultivate and develop new ideas and curiousity, thus Pancasila education always
evolve in accordance with current transformation. Third; epistemic communities of Pancasilaist
science could serve as moral values catalyst supporting nation's development towards a more
prosperous country, both materially and spiritually. Fourth; youth morality and mentality require
a strong foundation in order to control the influence of globalization embedded in all aspects of
society. |
