Pancasila as the ideological foundation of Indonesia is inseparable from education. In the implementation level, education is directed to build the values of Pancasila through learning programs. However, Indonesian education is still at an alarming condition, because the competencies of the graduates are not equivalent to the graduates from the other countries. This phenomenon underlies the formation of 2013 Curricula that emphasizes on the development of Pancasila values as the core competencies. This research was aimed at reconstructing Pancasila ideology and discussing the steps to revitalize Pancasila in Indonesian education system. Critical Discourse Analysis was conducted in three stages, namely text description, discursive practice, and socio-cultural practice to reconstruct Pancasila ideology in 2013 Curricula and their juridical foundations. Focus Group Discussions were conducted to review the application of the 2013 curriculum as well as the revitalization of Pancasila in Indonesian education system. The analysis revealed that the revitalization in Indonesian education system is absolutely needed, because the values of Pancasila as one of the core competencies that must be owned by the students have not been fundamentally and appropriately implemented in education and learning process.

Political and economic globalization has influenced the education sector. A significant component of education is the process of facilitating students’ acquisition of competence and values to enter the job market. The standard of competence at every level of education thus becomes the benchmark for the accurate estimation of a person’s success in the job market. Indonesia was not left behind in this trend, and the concept of the National Qualification Framework came into being. The first milestone occurred in 2012 when the Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia (Indonesian National Qualification Framework [IQF]) began to be enforced by the government of Indonesia, and the planning and implementing phases of IQF were conducted. One of these phases is the socialization and dissemination of information on the IQF in higher education through a website (kkni-kemenristekdikti.org) hereafter called the IQF website.  This paper qualitatively and quantitatively examines the ideas outlined in the IQF website text using critical discourse analysis framework. Through the textual analysis using systemic functional linguistics, this paper identifies the values highlighted by the IQF and shows that IQF is closely related to the working world. The word kerja (work/job), which appears throughout the text, collocates to words that manifest actors, institutions, processes, products, and values, and its use suggests that it is intended as the primary objective of the IQF. The textual analysis reveals that the context of neoliberalism and work within the workforce has become the trigger for change in national education in Indonesia. The purpose of higher education is now based on global pragmatism, that is, to provide students with competence in accordance with the needs of the job market, and, as a result, all educational regulations are directed to meet the demands of the job market, which ultimately shape the goals and competence levels of the IQF.

The question to be addressed in this study is: to what extent the pronouns are used by Indonesian-speaking children? This study aims to describe the use of saya and aku by children in formal and informal situation. The main data of this study is children's speech, obtained from individual interviews in formal and informal situations.

Security issue has become the most reported headline in mass media. This issue is categorized as hard news, which is covered and reported as soon as it happens. All aspects which are written and displayed in the text could influence the readers. Although many believe that news exist to inform the reader, news can be misled and contain specific point of view toward some issues. Critical discourse analysis becomes the tool to find out how editor use their power in composing text. This research is using qualitative method to a text from online media talking about security critics. As for verbal aspect, researcher is using appraisal theory (Martin and White, 2005) and for nonverbal aspect is using news value of photography by Caple (2013). The result is the differences in distribution in negativity aspects as the verbal one carries more negative aspects than the nonverbal. The result also shows how the writer and editor's position and tendency toward the event in reporting news such as negative judgment.
