Abstract

The waning sense of patriotism is caused by two factors, namely internal and external factors. An internal factor is something that comes from within the nation itself. And the external factor is something beyond, like the current of globalization. The tide of globalization has unwittingly entered Indonesia, which is slowly eroding the nationalism of indonesians, especially among children of the millennials. The sense of love for the country and nationalism will gradually disappear and will be replaced by foreign cultures. Basically all nations and peoples share in the renewal process, though the pace and direction of change vary from one society to another. With these factors and the greater current of globalisation, the importance of a higher spirit of nationalism for the Indonesian people, especially for the golden generation, namely students who are in education. Learners must have an attitude of nationalism as the noble ideals of Pancasila because they are the golden generation of future leaders of the nation to achieve independence and be able to contribute in order to realise the character of the nation's learners to develop learners who have a competitive and resilient personality in the midst of globalisation. For this the teacher's role is essential in developing nationalistic attitudes toward learners. Through civic education in schools as an important means of fostering the spirit of nationalism and instilling high ancestral values of the Indonesian nation so as not to be affected by globalisation. The aim of the study is to cultivate the nationalism of learners in the age of globalization through civics' education education in elementary schools. The research method used is qualitative research with descriptive analysis through an approach to literature study derived from credible journals and scientific works.
