OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW

In the Independent Curriculum, it is essential for the learning

content and teaching materials to be relevant and contextual

(Ingtias, 2022). Additionally, Rizki and Fahkrunisa (2022) mention
that the purpose of this guideline is to foster an advanced Indonesia

that is sovereign, independent, and characterized by individuals
who embody the values of Pancasila, namely critical thinking,
creative, independent, possess faith, fear God Almighty, and
demonstrate noble character.

One of the most crucial and contextual issues that needs to be

taught to the students is about climate change issues (Tenridinanti,
2021). According to the United Nations Educational (2022),

Climate Change Education (CCE) fosters an appreciation of the

intricate and interconnected nature of the various challenges posed

by climate change. Education plays a vital role in the global

response to climate change by enhancing people’s understanding
of its impact, promoting “climate literacy” among youth, influencing

attitudes and behaviors, and facilitating adaptation to climate
change-related trends.

Depending on students' needs, the virtual drama scripts on

climate change and Profil Pelajar Pancasila dimensions is needed
by the students. A lot of information obtained is related to the

needs, wants, lack of study, and even students’ preferences in
learning. In addition, the teacher of English in the interviewed
session said that the virtual drama scripts could be useful for

students to perform virtual drama in P5 (Projek Penguatan Profil
Pelajar Pancasila). Therefore, developing climate change-based

virtual drama scripts with Profil Pelajar Pancasila dimensions is

necessarily needed by students to improve the knowledge
regarding climate change as well as increasing the awareness of
Pancasila’s value in daily lives.
