Civic education (PKn) has a very important role in shaping the character of children in elementary schools. This education serves as a foundation for instilling moral, social, and critical values to the younger generation, which are needed to become responsible citizens. Through civic education, students not only learn about rights and obligations, but also develop attitudes of tolerance, discipline, and love for the country. This study uses a literature review approach to investigate the role of civic education in shaping character in elementary school children. Data were collected from various literature sources such as scientific journals, books, and popular articles that are relevant to the research topic. This study explains the role of the subject of PKn in elementary schools in character formation efforts. The results of this study indicate that Civic Education has an important role in shaping students' character for the nation and state to become better individuals. Civic Education in its teaching has a major impact on the development of the character of elementary school students. Although there are challenges in its implementation, such as a dense curriculum and limited resources, commitment from all parties is needed to strengthen civic education. With the right teaching methods and support from the environment, citizenship education can help students become active, responsible, and well-characterized individuals.
