Strengthening National Resilience Values in Schools Through Civic Education

Abstract

This study aims to determine the understanding of civic education in schools has an important role in strengthening national resilience values. Integral human development in national development requires the development of human resources (HR) that not only focus on cognitive competence but also on character and personality. This study examines the importance of internalizing national resilience values in the school environment, where an innovative educational approach is needed. Through the civic education curriculum, students are expected to understand their rights and obligations as good citizens. The method used is a literature review, where the references include scientific journals, books, and other literature sources that support the literature review. The results of the study show that internalization of national resilience values can be done through three stages: value transformation, value transactions, and value internalization. The habituation of national resilience values in elementary schools is very important, considering the many students who show apathy towards national and state life. Thus, civic education is expected to be able to produce a young generation who have social sensitivity and understand the importance of national resilience in facing global challenges. This study concludes that educational empowerment needs to be integrated into all aspects of school life to build strong national character and identity among students.
