Abstract
The One Month One Song (OM-OS) program enhances civic literacy and fosters nationalism among Indonesian students at Sekolah Indonesia Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. This classroom action research implemented iterative cycles (planning, action, observation, reflection) with 32 fifth-grade students. The Value Clarification Technique (VCT) (Raths et al., 1966) was integrated to deepen students' critical engagement with national song content. Findings demonstrate significant improvement: (1) Knowledge scores (measured via pre-/post-intervention tests) increased from 45.5% to 90%; (2) Practicality scores (assessing behavioral application via structured observation rubrics) rose from 50% to 95.5%; (3) Student surveys confirmed strong positive reception. Crucially, the program strengthened national identity alongside exposure to international information, countering identity erosion in the digital age. OM-OS presents a validated, replicable model for ASEAN Teacher Education addressing civic literacy development.
