The Traditional Pecah Piring Game as a Reflective Pedagogy for Pancasila Values in Civic Education
This study aims to explore the integration of Pancasila values through the traditional game Pecah Piring as a reflective pedagogical approach in Civic Education at the junior high school level. The background of this study stems from the weak practice of Pancasila values among students, as well as the dominance of cognitive and theoretical learning in Civic Education. The research used a qualitative approach with a reflective study design. Data were collected through learning observations, student reflection journals, and teacher field notes, then analysed using reflective thematic analysis techniques. The results of the study show that the Pecah Piring game not only creates a fun and participatory learning experience, but also facilitates the process of internalising Pancasila values. Student reflections show a shift from mere involvement in play to an awareness of values, such as honesty and religiosity, discipline and justice, solidarity and cooperation, deliberation and democracy, as well as responsibility and sportsmanship. These findings confirm that traditional games can function as an effective experience-based learning medium in connecting local wisdom with civic education. The novelty of this research lies in the interpretation of traditional games as a reflective pedagogical strategy to strengthen the internalisation of Pancasila values in learning.

From Punitive Response to Civic Safeguarding: Optimizing a Pentahelix Policy Community Model for Preventing Pedophilia-Related Violence Against Children In Indonesia
Pedophilia-related violence against children in Indonesia is still addressed predominantly through punitive law-enforcement responses, while participatory prevention, civic reporting capacity, and cross-sector coordination remain fragmented. This article aims to formulate a policy community model that connects pentahelix collaboration with citizenship education in order to strengthen child safeguarding. The study uses an integrative literature review and policy document analysis, guided by Whittemore and Knafl’s review stages, and reports the results using an adapted PRISMA logic. The synthesis shows that effective prevention requires six interrelated praxis syntaxes: evidence building, pentahelix role allocation, sustainable routines, innovation, evaluation, and citizenship campaigns. The article argues that citizenship education should be repositioned from a classroom-centered subject into a civic-learning infrastructure that develops legal awareness, digital literacy, ethical bystander behaviour, and collective responsibility. The study concludes that civic-oriented policy communities can reduce governance fragmentation and should be empirically tested in local child-protection settings.

Integrating Outcome-based Education Curriculum and Digital Citizenship to Strengthen Pancasila Values
Digital transformation and the development of Society 5.0 require higher education to produce graduates who are not only technically competent but also possess ethical awareness, social responsibility, and a strong sense of citizenship. In the Indonesian context, strengthening Pancasila values through digital citizenship represents a strategic agenda that must be systematically integrated into the curriculum. This study aims to synthesize Scopus-indexed scholarly literature examining the relationship between Outcome-Based Education (OBE), digital citizenship, and the strengthening of Pancasila values in higher education. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted through identification, screening, and thematic analysis of 30 selected articles published between 2019 and 2025. The screening process applied inclusion–exclusion criteria and quality assessment to ensure methodological rigor. The findings indicate that OBE provides an effective structural framework for integrating digital citizenship as value-based learning outcomes; however, studies explicitly linking OBE to Pancasila values remain limited. This synthesis concludes that OBE can function as a strategic instrument for strengthening value-based digital citizenship and recommends curriculum development and further research to support its implementation in higher education.

Citizenship Identity in the Context of Dayak Ethnic Transnationalism: Between State, Costum, and Cross-Border Mobility
This paper examines the civic identity of the Dayak people in the West Kalimantan border region within the context of ethnic transnationalism, emphasizing the role of custom and cross-border mobility. Recognizing that Dayak communities have historically lived beyond the boundaries of modern states, the study conceptualizes citizenship as a lived social experience that does not always align with nation-state logic. Using ethnographic methods, the research explores how Dayak people interpret citizenship through everyday practices, kinship relations, and cross-border interactions. The findings show that citizenship is understood situationally and pragmatically, particularly in relation to administrative needs and access to state services, while ethnic and customary identities remain the primary basis of social loyalty. Custom functions as a value framework regulating community membership, social relations, and attachment to ancestral lands across borders. Continuous mobility sustains a transnational social space where borders are negotiated administrative structures rather than rigid social boundaries. The study highlights the layered and dynamic nature of border citizenship and contributes to scholarship on indigenous transnationalism.

Embracing Diversity, Strengthening Citizen Commitment: Intercultural Dialogue and Civic Culture in The Archipelago in the Digital Era
The Indonesian archipelago confronts unprecedented challenges as digitalization reconfigures civic culture. This Systematic Literature Review investigates whether conventional intercultural dialogue strengthens civic culture or merely reproduces structural inequalities under the guise of diversity. Synthesizing 42 peer-reviewed articles from reputable databases published between 2015 and 2025, the findings reveal that everyday communication practices often marginalize minority languages. Furthermore, digital identity negotiation is algorithmically polarized rather than democratically deliberative, and local value revitalization frequently serves elite interests. The discussion highlights that these empirical findings challenge traditional pluralist models, aligning instead with the applied theory of critical multiculturalism to expose systemic power imbalances. The primary novelty of this study lies in its structural critique, arguing that intercultural dialogue without systemic transformation merely disguises inequality. In conclusion, authentic civic culture requires dismantling structural inequalities across educational systems and digital platforms, transforming diversity from a rhetorical slogan into substantive justice. This study contributes to citizenship policy by providing a transformative framework for inclusive curriculum design. Future research should empirically test these structural interventions across diverse demographics to strengthen democratic resilience.

Minangkabau Local Wisdom Education: Strengthening Students' Moral Courage, Altruism, and Social Solidarity
The moral degradation of adolescents in the era of globalization necessitates the reinforcement of identity through education rooted in local wisdom. This study aims to examine the influence of Minangkabau Culture-Based Character Education (PKBAM) on students' moral courage, altruism, and social solidarity. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 431 junior high school students in Bukittinggi via proportionate stratified random sampling. The data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that PKBAM has a positive and significant impact on all three dimensions of moral character, with the strongest effect on social solidarity. These findings support the notion that incorporating local cultural values into education plays a crucial role in shaping civic character, in alignment with the goals of civic education. This study contributes to the advancement of civic education practices that are contextually relevant and grounded in a sociocultural framework. It is recommended that policymakers strengthen local content curricula as tools for fostering a national character that is both adaptive and deeply rooted in the nation's cultural heritage.

The Phenomenon of War Flaming on Writing in Social Media: The Effect of Echo Chamber and Filter Bubble Algorithm in Digital Citizenship
Echo Chamber and Filter Bubble are two subjects now under extensive discussion. The growing prevalence of social media in recent years underscores the potential effects of the Echo Chamber and Filter Bubble phenomena. One of them is the conflict raging on social media. The attributes of the Echo Chamber and Filter Bubble can influence the prevalence of war flame on social media. This study aimed to examine the impact of the Echo Chamber and Filter Bubble on War Flaming. This study used a quantitative methodology to investigate the relationship among the three ideas. The sample was chosen through selective sampling, comprising 100 respondents identified as flame perpetrators. The study's results indicate a significant correlation between Echo Chamber and Filter Bubble phenomena and the prevalence of war flame on social media. This study demonstrates that Echo Chamber and Filter Bubble significantly influence War Flaming. Echo Chamber (X1) and Filter Bubble (X2) collectively account for 41.8% of the variance in War Flaming (Y). The results indicate that preventing war escalation is challenging due to the existence of echo chambers and filter bubbles, unless stringent content restriction policies are implemented by social media companies and enhanced self-awareness is cultivated from an early age through familial, social, and educational influences.

Local Knowledge-based Citizenship Learning Model to Increase Ecological Awareness in the Indonesia-Malaysia Border Area
High gap between ecological knowledge and pro-environmental action remains a critical challenge for sustainability, particularly in ecologically sensitive border regions. This study addresses this gap by developing and testing a Civic Ecological Transformation (CET) learning model based on local knowledge to enhance students’ ecological awareness in the Indonesia–Malaysia border region. Using a mixed-methods approach with a sequential exploratory design, the study began with a qualitative exploration (interviews, FGDs, observations) to identify local cultural values, followed by a quantitative phase (one-group pretest-posttest, PLS-SEM) to test the model’s effectiveness. The findings reveal that the integration of local knowledge such as belalek, saprahan, and tepung tawar significantly improves ecological awareness. Path analysis confirms the effect of the CET learning model is fully mediated by this integration of local knowledge. The CET model effectively fosters ecological citizenship and supports the achievement of SDG 4, 13, and 15, contributing a pedagogical innovation for Civic Education rooted in environmental sustainability.

Digital Citizenship in the Dynamics of Post-Digital Education
This study examines the dynamics of digital citizenship in post-digital education through the lens of Henry Giroux's critical pedagogy philosophy. This research is motivated by digital transformation, with the primary concern being the issue of technological determinism in education, which overlooks the need for emancipatory critical awareness. This inquiry philosophy research is based on literature related to post-digital education as a material object and critical pedagogy as a formal object. Methodologically, the study elaborates interpretation, induction and deduction, internal coherence, holism and historical continuity, comparison, heuristics, language inclusiveness, and in-depth reflection on formal and material objects in philosophical research. The study found that Giroux's critical pedagogy positions education as an ethical and political arena against dehumanization in the digital era. The rationality of post-digital education requires metaphysical and epistemological reflection to affirm the existence and implementation of humanistic values in post-digital educational practices. Conceptually, encouraging digital citizenship education to develop beyond technical competence into an emancipatory project of political awareness. So that students critically question their existence in digital power structures. Critical digital citizenship education fosters adaptive, ethical, and sensitive responses to social issues in uncertain future scenarios.

The Mayae Tradition and the Dynamics of Citizenship Politics: Local Wisdom Study of the Maregam Community in Tidore Islands City
This research is motivated by the researchers’ concern about the low level of public awareness to actively participate in political life, such as being apathetic towards political choices and the strengthening of a patronage political culture in the form of political support in every general election. However, this is not reflected in the Maregam community in Tidore Islands City, where political attitudes and choices appear more active and varied because they are influenced by the “MAYAE” tradition (mutual help). The purpose of this research is to further and in-depth analyze the dynamics of citizenship politics in the Maregam community based on the “Mayae” tradition. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study. The results show that the dynamics of citizenship politics in the Maregam community based on the “Mayae” tradition are evident in: 1) active involvement in every aspect of political life, 2) respect for different political choices, 3) consensual decision-making as a way to reach agreement and solve problems, and 4) the candidate's track record and concern for citizens as the primary consideration in choice-making. The findings of this study constitute a good model of citizenship political participation that to be recommended to other communities, and serve as a basis for further research development.

Integrating Augmented Reality and Digital Citizenship in Civic Education: A Systematic Literature Review
The swift advancement of digital technology necessitates a cohesive strategy to enhance digital citizenship within citizenship education via pertinent and contextual learning methodologies. Previous studies generally analyzed the two as separate factors; this study, however, rigorously investigates the level of integration between them in citizenship education. The study used a systematic literature review to analyze scientific articles published between 2018 and 2025, indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, using the keywords digital citizenship, augmented reality, citizenship education, learning, and technology, in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, assisted by Google Scholar and Publish or Perish. The findings indicate that digital citizenship through augmented reality serves as an immersive educational technology that enhances engagement and visualization in learning. The explicit integration of these two concepts remains constrained. This paper presents a conceptual framework that designates augmented reality as a pedagogical intermediary for applying digital citizenship principles in experiential citizenship education, and advocates for more empirical validation in genuine educational settings.

Integrating Civic Engagement to Foster Soft Skills and Teacher Professionalism
The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, launched in 2019, provides students opportunities to strengthen their professional competencies through direct engagement in the real world. Within this framework, civic engagement is essential, as it encourages students to actively participate in community-based activities that support their academics and social responsibilities. This study analyzes how students develop soft skills and teaching professionalism through MBKM activities. This qualitative descriptive study involved students of the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Department at Medan State University, class of 2019–2021, who had participated in MBKM programs such as Kampus Mengajar (Teaching Campus), student exchange programs, and internships. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive model. The research findings indicate that civic engagement integrated into MBKM improves adaptability, leadership, communication, collaboration, and innovation, while instilling civic values and professional ethics. This study recommends systematically institutionalizing civic engagement in teacher education curricula to ensure holistic and sustainable outcomes.

Ecological Citizenship: Bioconversion of Food Wastage With Maggot Black Soldier Fly
This study aims to analyze the formation of ecological citizenship to overcome the problem of food wastage through the bioconversion of Black Soldier Fly maggots. The method used is a qualitative case study with observation, interview, and documentation data collection techniques, using triangulation analysis techniques. This study was conducted on three groups of informants: chicken noodle shops, fruit shops, and households in Ponorogo. The informants in this study were specifically informants who initially threw their waste directly into the trash and ended up in the Final Disposal Site, so that it became one with inorganic waste without further treatment. The results of the study show that the embodiment of the ecological citizenship model put forward by Dobson, namely anthropocentrism, is a reference for the analysis of ecological citizenship about the relationship between individuals who occupy the same ecological space determined by their ecological footprint, so that it can be an alternative if managed and used correctly with the proper handling techniques. The conclusion of this study shows that the obligation of ecological citizenship imposed on each individual can be realized through the processing of food waste produced by bioconversion using BSF maggots.

Exploring the Existence of Civic Dispositions in Junior High School Students: A Preliminary Study in Civic Education
Civic disposition plays a crucial role in shaping students into responsible and active citizens, but its characteristics in the school environment require further study. This study aims to analyze the civic disposition of junior high school students and the factors influencing its development. A quantitative survey method was used involving 120 seventh-grade students from three public junior high schools in Magelang, Indonesia. A structured questionnaire measured five dimensions of civic disposition: responsibility, participation, politeness, empathy, and patience. The results showed that responsibility, politeness, and empathy were in the high category, while participation was in the medium category, and patience was the lowest dimension. These findings suggest that although students possess good ethical and social awareness, they still need encouragement to participate more actively in civic activities and to increase their patience in social interactions. Civic education should prioritize the balanced development of responsibility, participation, and patience to strengthen students' overall civic character. Recommendations are provided for strengthening learning programs that foster moral character and encourage active student involvement.

Transforming Civic Education Through Nationalism Projects to Strengthen Global Diversity Character in Higher Education
Globalization has influenced citizens' mindset, behavior, and attitudes, shifting traditional national values such as mutual cooperation, care, fairness, and mutual respect toward more individualistic and egocentric orientations. These changes pose a serious challenge to shaping national character, particularly among university students. This study aims to develop a Global Civics Learning Model Based on National Projects to strengthen students' character in embracing diversity. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4-D model: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Data were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test to assess the model's effectiveness. The results indicate that the model has a very high level of validity, with content validation scoring an average of 94.72% and construct validation at 94.20%. Effectiveness testing revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (sig. < 0.001), demonstrating the model’s effectiveness in enhancing students’ character related to global diversity. It is recommended that the model be applied more widely in civic education courses to cultivate national identity while promoting global citizenship values among students.

Citizen Diplomacy Strategies in Football Supporter Communities: A Case Study of Reconciliation Between PSS Sleman and PSIM Yogyakarta
This article examines how rival football supporter communities in Yogyakarta, namely Slemania (PSS Sleman) and Brajamusti/Mataram Independent (PSIM Yogyakarta), interact. The urgency of this research is that citizen diplomacy is a critical new approach to de-escalating conflict while strengthening social bonds among supporters. The study identifies three key strategies within citizen diplomacy practiced by supporters: cross-group dialogue forums, collaborative social actions (such as blood donations and disaster relief), and digital campaigns aimed at reframing rivalry into an inclusive narrative of solidarity. Drawing on qualitative data from interviews and participant observation, the article analyzes practical implementation challenges, including intergenerational divides and institutional fragility. The findings suggest that while these initiatives remain uneven in reach, they have contributed to a significant reduction in intergroup violence and fostered renewed engagement with national identity among participants. This research offers empirical evidence that citizen-led diplomacy within football culture can serve as a transformative mechanism for social cohesion and civic integration in divided communities.

Kartu Sadari Bullying: Media Pembelajaran dalam Mengembangkan Keadaban Kewarganegaraan
Descriptive qualitative design is used in this study to describe the understanding of students and teachers in schools about bullying, as well as the construction of bullying prevention ideas through bullying awareness card learning media. The location of the study was in Dumai, by interviewing several students and teachers in schools. The results of the study showed that (1) students and teachers have diverse understandings and perspectives on bullying; (2) the absence of learning media that supports the campaign and socialization of bullying behavior in schools so far. Preventive steps can be taken through bullying awareness card learning media which is a card game media that contains material on the concept, how to prevent and handle bullying in schools. This study recommends that schools use bullying awareness card learning media in integrated subjects with character education such as citizenship education, guidance and counseling and religious education. This is intended to develop students' civic virtue so that they become tolerant and compassionate citizens in diversity.

Pancasila and the Challenge of Morality: A Response to the LGBT Phenomenon in Higher Education Environments
LGBT phenomena in the campus environment are not in line with the values of Pancasila as a nation's moral guideline and cause various debates in society. This study explores how Pancasila can be used as a basis for responding to LGBT phenomena in the campus environment. With a qualitative approach and phenomenological method, this research collects data through in-depth interviews with students and observations on campus.
