The method used is a qualitative research method with descriptive analysis through a literature study approach from various journals and relevant books as references. The result of this research is that the spirit of nationalism in students has begun to disappear due to the impact of globalization. Therefore the teacher plays an important role in this the efforts made by the teacher are to maximize Civics learning to students. Civics learning in schools is very important as a means of instilling the nation's noble values in students so that students have a high spirit of nationalism.
