Abstract

This research was conducted to discuss the learning of Citizenship Education inElementary school. School is an institution that educates students through teacher supervision. With the presence of Citizenship Education in Elementary Schools, it is hoped that it will be able to shape the character of students and be able to help students understand and be able to carry out their rights and obligations to become good, intelligent, skilled, and responsible citizens. With the formation of character, students are expected to be able to overcome the problems they face. However, there are still many problems in learning Civics in Elementary Schools that must be addressed immediately. The role of the teacher is to equip and develop self-esteem and moral valueselementary school students are certainly very necessary. However, the development of attitude and moral values in students is impossible to achieve if students do not understand the concept of values and morals itself. The concept of attitude and moral values has actually been included in the scope of Civics subjects focusing on the formation of citizens who understand and carry out their rights and obligations to become Indonesian citizens who are skilled, intelligent and have character according to the mandate of the Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.
