IMPLEMENTATION OF NATIONALISM ATTITUDES AND CONCERN FOR STUDENTS THROUGH CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION

Abstract

Nationalism says that a person must be most loyal to his country. Deep love for the motherland, local traditions and local officials has always existed in history because of the superiority and strong faith in the country. Civics is one of the subjects that must be studied by students. Nationalism is mostly formed by PKn. However, in the current era of globalization, the younger generation, especially students, are starting to lose their sense of nationalism and human empathy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efforts of Civics teachers in instilling the value of nationalism in students during their education. In addition, this research will identify obstacles that can prevent students from showing their concern for these values, as well as teachers' efforts to apply these values in their daily activities at school. Many internal and external problems confront Indonesia. Globalization also affects national life in various ways, such as cultural, social, political and economic.This study uses a descriptive qualitative methodology. The results of the study show that student nationalism is reflected in the attitude of self-sacrifice, love of the motherland, respect for the identity of the Indonesian nation, proud as an Indonesian citizen, spirit of unity and oneness, adherence to Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, discipline, courage, honesty, and hard work. Teachers must supervise students in their learning and living environment.
