Abstract

This study aims to explore the criteria for writing history textbooks. The method used is Pancasila as the genetivus-subjectivus developed by Kunto Wibisono. Pancasila, in this context, is used as a tool to evaluate and produce knowledge. Judging from the aspect of the content of the Belief in God Principle, it is the most abstract principle, and the hierarchical justice principle is the most concrete. From the aspect of the area, belief in God is the broadest principle, and justice is the narrowest principle. Thus, from the aspect of content and area, the values that need to be highlighted sequentially are justice, democracy, unity, humanity, and belief in God. From this point of view, the narrative of the history textbooks needs to be compiled by prioritizing the discourse of justice followed by democracy, unity, humanity, and belief in God. Through the story of the struggle of the previous generation to realize the ideal life order, the young generation understood that the Indonesian people in the past fought for justice. In the next stage, the young generation becomes aware of their calling to continue fighting for justice for all Indonesian people in the future. The struggle for justice is the collective identity of the Indonesian people.
