This studyhaims to identifyuand analyzeyhow students maintain their national identity amidst the challenges of globalization and digitalization. A literaturewreview methodgwas employedxin thismresearch. The findings show that, despite the influence of global culture, most students still demonstrate a strong national awareness and actively strive to preserve their national identity through the formal use of the Indonesianklanguage, theipreservation of local cultures, and participation in national activities.
