This study aims to determine the general overview of PKN learning methods and media at the elementary school level. Through a literature review, this article presents a series of relevant and tested steps to improve the activeness of PKN learning at the elementary level. The type of research used is a literature study. The type of data used is secondary data. The source of research data comes from journals, articles and books. The results of the study indicate that the use of suitable methods and media is very necessary to help and facilitate the learning process. The selection of the right method and media plays a crucial role in facilitating effective understanding of PKN material for elementary school students. Among them are the lecture method, story method, question and answer method, assignment method, game or competition method. Through a better understanding of the selection process and use of methods and media, it is hoped that more interactive, in-depth, and relevant PKN learning can be created for elementary school students. It is hoped that educators can choose the appropriate PKN method and media, increase active student participation, and facilitate a deep understanding of citizenship values in a context that is more relevant and interesting for elementary school students.
