Answer:
Citizenship education is an education that studies values, rights and obligations, as
well as the ideals and goals of the Indonesian state. As an education, citizenship
education is said to be an important education for Indonesian society. It is said like
that because studying citizenship education will increase understanding and
knowledge of values, rights and obligations, as well as the ideals and goals of the
Indonesian state. Because of this, citizenship education exists at every level of
education in Indonesia. This is also stated in Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the
National Education system. The law explains that every level of education is required
to include learning about language education, religious education, and citizenship
education. From this regulation, citizenship education is said to be an important
education. It is said to be important because through citizenship education will be able
to form a character for the younger generation. The character that is formed in civic
education is a national character that can respect the country and a character that
strives to realize the ideals and goals of the nation and state. In addition to creating a
national character, citizenship education can enhance and strengthen national identity.
National identity can be a characteristic possessed by a country that can be a
differentiator from other countries. This can be strengthened through citizenship
education. It is said that way because civic education will study the identity, history,
values, and norms of the nation. By studying these things, it can strengthen the
community regarding national identity. There are other reasons that can make
citizenship education something that strengthens national identity. The first reason is
that citizenship education provides awareness of national identity. Citizenship
education will provide an understanding and knowledge of the country's national
identity. With this understanding and knowledge, people can appreciate and respect
what is their national identity which can strengthen national identity. The second
reason is that citizenship education can increase a sense of nationality. Citizenship
education will seek to increase the sense of nationality of its citizens. This can be
done by providing an understanding of the things that exist in the country. This will
make citizens appreciate and respect everything that exists in their country. These
reasons can make civics education something that can awaken national identity. There
 are also other things that are still included in citizenship education that can be used to
strengthen national identity. This can be done by providing an understanding of
history, culture, and national values. Through history, self-improvement can be done
by providing learning about events that have occurred in their country and the
struggles of heroes to fight for the country. By learning this, the community will be
able to feel the struggle that has been carried out to protect their country. In addition,
the community will also be able to prevent something from happening that could
threaten their country. Then through culture, self-improvement can be done by
providing an understanding of the national culture that exists in the country. By
providing this understanding, people will maintain the cultures that exist in their
country. And through national values, the improvement of national identity can be
carried out by providing an understanding of the principles, beliefs and norms in the
country. By providing this understanding, the community will apply principles,
beliefs, and norms in their lives that aim to protect their nation and state from things
that can harm their country. These three things can be said to strengthen national
identity. And basically national identity needs to be strengthened because national
identity contains the national identity of a country. Thus, it can be said that it is
important to study citizenship education because it can enhance national identity.
4. How can civic education influence social justice and the elimination of inequality

said like that because in civics education one learns about national identity. This will
provide an understanding of the characteristics that are owned by the Indonesian state
and not shared by other countries. This will make the community maintain and respect
national identity which can strengthen national identity. Citizenship education is not
only said to strengthen national identity. However, citizenship education can affect
 social justice and eliminate an inequality in society. It is said that way because there
are several reasons that citizenship education can affect social justice and eliminate
inequality. The first reason is that civic education will provide awareness of inequality
and injustice. Citizenship education will provide an understanding of injustice and
inequality that occurs in society. With this understanding, people will appreciate and
develop empathy for groups that experience injustice and inequality. The second
reason is civics education as education about social justice. This citizenship education
will provide an understanding to the community of the importance of social justice.
The existence of this understanding will make the Indonesian people apply social
justice in their lives to avoid inequality. In addition, this understanding will make
people's minds to fight for social justice in order to avoid social inequality. Apart
from these two reasons, there are other things that can be used to realize social justice
and eliminate inequality. It is an understanding of individual rights as well as equality
and justice. These things can be said to encourage real action to achieve social justice.
It is said that way because an understanding of individual rights as well as equality
and justice will provide an understanding that every human being has an equal right
that can be applied fairly and equally. This understanding will make people think that
everyone has rights and these rights cannot be taken away or stolen. With this

justice can be realized and eliminate social inequality.
5. What are the challenges faced in implementing civic education in the educational
environment? Discuss strategies that can be used to overcome these challenges
and strengthen civic education in the education system!
Answer:
Citizenship education is basically an important education for Indonesian citizens. It is
said that way because civics education will learn about the values, rights and
obligations, as well as the ideals and goals of the Indonesian people. Citizenship
education is also said to be a compulsory education. This is in accordance with what
is stated in Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System. The
Law states that Indonesian education at every level must include language education,
religious education, and citizenship education. Indonesian citizens can form a national
character, strengthen national identity, and foster social justice through citizenship
education. It is said like this because this education contains material regarding the
national character that must be applied by Indonesian citizens, national identity as a
characteristic of the Indonesian state, and respecting the rights of everyone. Because
the contents of these materials through citizenship education can shape and strengthen
national character, national identity, and social justice. This also makes citizenship
education an important education for Indonesian citizens. Even though it is said to be
an important education, in the implementation of citizenship education there are still
challenges in it. There are many challenges faced by citizenship education as
education in Indonesia. There are two significant challenges faced by citizenship
education as an education. The two challenges are the teacher and the broad range of
material. The teacher is the biggest challenge facing citizenship education as an
education. It is said like that because most teachers have not mastered the material
regarding citizenship education. This makes civics education learning material not
conveyed clearly and well. Lack of training causes teachers not to fully master civics
education learning materials. So, of course teachers must receive special training in
order to be able to master citizenship education material and to be able to convey it to
students properly and clearly. The second challenge faced by citizenship education as
education is that the learning material for civics education is quite broad. Citizenship
education is basically education that discusses the values, rights and obligations, as
well as the ideals and goals of the nation and state of Indonesia. However, civics
education also sometimes contains things that are broader than that. For example,
citizenship education is also contained in Indonesian law and Indonesian foreign
relations. This is actually a very broad material if the material is included in
citizenship education. This broad material can cause the core material that should be
obtained instead of being obtained. Apart from that, it takes time for both teachers and
students to understand this broad civic education material. These two challenges are
the biggest challenges faced by citizenship education as an education. From the
existence of these two challenges, a strategy must be prepared to overcome the
challenges faced by citizenship education as an education. Through these two
challenges, the strategy that must be taken to overcome this is to provide training for
teachers and make civics education material clearer. The first is of course providing
training for teachers is an important strategy to address the challenges of citizenship
education. Because providing training will make teachers more knowledgeable about
civics education material and will be able to convey it to students better. The second
strategy is to make civics education material clearer. With this strategy, it can avoid
the expansion of citizenship education material which creates obstacles for teachers
and students to understand it. This will also make the core of citizenship education
conveyed so that the goals of citizenship education as education can also be achieved.
These strategies can be applied to overcome the challenges faced by civic education.
Thus, the existence of this strategy can make citizenship education a good education
for citizens and can realize the ideals and goals of the nation and state of Indonesia.
