Paradigma Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan Dalam Membangun Karakter Generasi Penerus Bangsa

Abstract

Citizenship education is one of the compulsory subjects that aims to provide knowledge and understanding of the state, government, politics, law, rights and obligations as citizens as well as the behavior of good and responsible citizens. The Citizenship Education Paradigm in building the character of the nation's next generation must includes an understanding of diversity and inclusivity, democracy, active participation, and social responsibility. The purpose of writing this journal is to examine in depth the paradigm of civic education in building the character of the nation's next generation. This research method uses a literature approach.The results obtained are that civics education can help overcome the weak character of the nation's next generation, especially in terms of understanding and practicing the nation's noble values. So it can be suggested that civics education in its implementation does not only act as a compulsory subject but more than that civics education should be internalized as a form of strengthening to form a nation with character, both through teaching and learning activities by prioritizing critical thinking, integrating it with extracurricular and intracurricular , other subjects, humanitarian projects or social activities (comunity service).
