Abstract

Citizenship learning at the RK Makmur Elementary School level is an important part in forming students' social and political awareness to become active and responsible citizens. In the current digital era, learning innovation by utilizing technology is becoming increasingly relevant and important for improving the quality of civic learning. This research aims to explore the implementation of civic learning innovations that utilize technology at the RK Makmur Elementary School level and its impact on increasing students' social and political awareness. Through literature analysis and related research results, we develop effective citizenship learning strategies by utilizing technology, such as interactive e-learning platforms, social media, online games, and educational applications. We also discuss important components in implementing civic learning innovations with technology, including selecting appropriate technology, goal-oriented learning design, using engaging media, effective classroom management, technology-based evaluation, and project-based collaborative learning. The research results show that civic learning innovations with technology have great potential to increase student involvement, their understanding of socio-political issues, and their awareness of their rights and obligations as citizens. However, challenges such as equitable access to technology and required teacher training also need to be addressed to maximize the potential of civic learning with technology. This research provides an important contribution to the understanding of the potential of technology in improving citizenship education at the RK Makmur elementary school level and offers an in-depth view of how learning innovations with technology can form citizens who are active, critical and participate in democratic life.

Abstract

Globalization has become a phenomenon that dominates the world today, bringing significant changes in various aspects of social, economic and political life throughout the world. One of the impacts that was felt was a shift in awareness of defending the country among the younger generation, including students at the National Development Elementary School. In this study, we explore the influence of globalization on national defense awareness and the role of students in building it. The methodology used in this study is descriptive qualitative, which involves in-depth analysis of the observed phenomena. Through a literature review, we investigate various perspectives on the impact of globalization on national defense awareness, including changes in national values and identity, dependence on other countries, the influence of media and technology, changes in consumption patterns, and challenges to state sovereignty. The results of the analysis show that globalization has complex and varied impacts depending on a country's political, social and cultural context. In the midst of these changes, the citizenship education paradigm in elementary schools plays an important role in building a strong awareness of defending the country. Civic education not only focuses on teaching state doctrine, but also promotes critical, analytical thinking, and a deep understanding of civic values that go beyond the boundaries of doctrine. Students, as potential agents of change in society, have a key role in building awareness of defending the country. Through education, active participation and use of technology, they can become a driving force in strengthening awareness of defending the country amidst the challenges of globalization. Students' contributions are not only limited to the use of weapons, but also through dedication in their profession and active participation in citizenship education. This research underlines the importance of understanding the impact of globalization, updating the paradigm of citizenship education, and empowering students' role in building a strong and relevant national defense awareness in globalization era.
