Keywords:
Discussion method, PknAbstract
Civic Education (PKn) is a subject that aims to educate students to foster morals and become good citizens, which is expected to be realized in everyday life, both in the school environment and outside the school environment. Civic Education (PKn) should be able to form students' activeness, creativity, and intelligent thinking in solving every problem that exists through deliberation and consensus in accordance with the fourth principle of Pancasila, namely "Democracy led by the wisdom of deliberation and representation". The education of the nation's character with morals and noble character is poured into the civic education subject which is implemented at every level of school. However, in reality, character education in Indonesia is considered to have failed in creating people with character and morals as in its mission. To overcome this, innovation is needed in the teaching and learning process, especially in Civic Education learning. PKn is a lesson about government and the obligations of citizens related to the state or between citizens. This study uses a literature study method by reviewing various relevant sources to determine the effectiveness of the group discussion method in civics learning. The results of this literature study indicate that group discussions can increase students' active involvement, deepen understanding of the material, and develop critical thinking and communication skills. In addition, group discussions also provide opportunities for students to share ideas and perspectives in solving problems related to citizenship.
