This study examines how a contested national issue can be used as a civic education context for discussing fairness, human rights, and conflict. Using an exploratory qualitative descriptive design, the study combines purposive document analysis of public texts on Papua, justice, human rights, and peace with a school-based questionnaire administered to 18 respondents, most of whom were upper primary students. Four Likert-type items were used to capture perceptions of equal rights, mutual respect, fairness, and the relationship between injustice and conflict in Papua. The document data were analyzed through thematic grouping, while the questionnaire data were summarized using descriptive tabulation. The findings show that agreement and strong agreement dominated across all four items. Respondents strongly endorsed equal human rights, associated justice with fair treatment without discrimination, viewed mutual respect as relevant to conflict prevention, and tended to relate the Papua conflict to perceived injustice, although with greater neutrality on the Papua-specific item. The study contributes to civic education by showing that difficult national issues can be translated into age-appropriate, dialogic, and evidence-informed learning about rights, dignity, recognition, and peaceful coexistence.

Legal-Civic Reform and Moral Integrity in Indonesian Anti-Corruption Education

Mjolnir Aldeban Mahendra, Ihya Nurina Ratindra — Sat, 23 May 2026 12:42:21 +0000

Corruption remains a major challenge to Indonesian democracy, as it erodes public trust, distorts fairness in public services, and weakens the ethical foundations of citizenship. While Indonesia has established legal instruments and anti-corruption institutions, punitive and institutional measures alone are insufficient to address the cultural and moral dimensions of corruption. This article examines the relevance and effectiveness of Zainal Arifin Mochtar’s legal-civic perspective in strengthening legal compliance as well as ethical responsibility among citizens and public officials. Employing a qualitative literature review, the article analyzes academic works, legal scholarship, anti-corruption reports, and civic education studies concerning corruption, institutional reform, integrity education, and citizen participation. The analysis indicates that legal reform and institutional enforcement contribute to strengthening compliance, but their effectiveness depends on broader civic and moral support. Civic participation, integrity education, ethical leadership, and digital transparency play an important role in cultivating deeper anti-corruption awareness. However, these efforts continue to face obstacles, including political interference, inadequate whistleblower protection, uneven implementation of anti-corruption education, and persistent social tolerance toward corrupt practices. This article contributes to civic education scholarship by proposing an integrated legal-civic-moral framework for anti-corruption education in Indonesia.

Dialog Konstitusional sebagai Mekanisme Non-Litigasi dalam Resolusi Konflik Sosial: Peran Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan dalam Internalisasi Nilai Konstitusi

Ichwani Siti Utami — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 14:11:03 +0000

The escalation of social conflicts in Indonesia reflects a communication crisis between the state and society within the democratic sphere. Demonstrations that end in physical clashes indicate the weakness of deliberative dialogue culture and the inadequate internalization of constitutional values in democratic life. This article aims to analyze Constitutional Dialogue as a non-litigation mechanism for resolving social conflicts and to examine the role of Civic Education in internalizing constitutional values. This study employs a literature review method with juridical-normative and conceptual approaches through the examination of deliberative democracy theory, constitutional dialogue, relevant legal norms, and related academic literature. The findings reveal that the failure of social conflict resolution is influenced not only by weak legal structures, but also by the absence of a participatory and deliberative public dialogue culture. Constitutional Dialogue offers a more inclusive, empathetic, and collaborative mechanism for conflict resolution. In this regard, Civic Education plays a strategic role in fostering civic virtue, legal awareness, and citizens’ dialogic competence to strengthen a participatory and civilized constitutional democracy.

Hubungan Pemahaman Nilai-Nilai Pancasila dengan Sikap Etis Mahasiswa terhadap Konten Deepfake di Media Sosial

Perkembangan deepfake memperluas persoalan ruang digital dari sekadar misinformasi menuju krisis autentisitas, manipulasi identitas, dan penurunan kepercayaan pada konten media. Dalam konteks tersebut, respons mahasiswa terhadap deepfake tidak cukup dijelaskan oleh kemampuan teknis mengenali konten sintetis, tetapi juga oleh kerangka etik yang digunakan untuk menilai, memverifikasi, dan merespons konten. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan pemahaman nilai-nilai Pancasila dengan sikap etis mahasiswa terhadap konten deepfake di media sosial. Penelitian menggunakan desain kuantitatif korelasional yang bersifat eksploratif dengan survei potong lintang. Data diperoleh dari 50 respons lengkap mahasiswa yang dikumpulkan secara daring pada 6-10 April 2026 melalui kuesioner Linier 1-5 yang terdiri atas 28 butir pada empat konstruk, yaitu pemahaman tentang deepfake, pemahaman nilai-nilai Pancasila, perilaku verifikasi informasi, dan sikap etis terhadap konten deepfake. Analisis meliputi statistik deskriptif, corrected item-total correlation, Cronbach’s alpha, korelasi Pearson dan Spearman, serta regresi linear sederhana untuk menggambarkan asosiasi linear. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa seluruh variabel berada pada kategori sangat tinggi; rerata tertinggi terdapat pada sikap etis terhadap deepfake (M = 4,498; SD = 0,201), diikuti pemahaman nilai-nilai Pancasila (M = 4,412; SD = 0,299). Pemahaman nilai-nilai Pancasila berhubungan positif dan signifikan dengan sikap etis mahasiswa terhadap deepfake (r = 0,573; p < 0,001; rho = 0,641; p < 0,001). Pada model linear sederhana, koefisien tetap positif (B = 0,386; R² = 0,329; p < 0,001; sig. HC3 = 0,018). Temuan ini menunjukkan adanya asosiasi positif awal antara pemahaman nilai-nilai Pancasila dan sikap etis mahasiswa terhadap deepfake, meskipun hasilnya perlu dibaca secara hati-hati karena instrumen self-report yang digunakan masih bersifat eksploratif.

This study examines how four key actors—the Banten Provincial Tourism Office, the Tanjung Lesung Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Administrator, the zone developer and manager PT Banten West Java (BUPP), and the local community represented by a tourism awareness group (Pokdarwis) and local craftspeople—collaborate in supporting the implementation of the Banten Tourism Development Master Plan (Ripparprov) 2018–2025 in Tanjung Lesung SEZ. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and the collaborative governance framework of Kurhayadi and Kushendar (2023), which identifies five critical factors (transparency and participation, communication and coordination, strong leadership, capacity and resources, and evaluation and monitoring), data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eight purposively selected informants, observation, and documentation review. The findings indicate that inter-actor collaboration in Tanjung Lesung SEZ remains partial, bilateral, and situational rather than integrated. Each actor interacts with others according to its own mandate, while no permanent, institutionalized forum brings all four actors together to plan, evaluate, and solve problems jointly. This absence weakens transparency toward the community, produces top-down rather than reciprocal communication, leaves facilitative leadership undeveloped, perpetuates capacity gaps between the private developer and local communities, and excludes community perspectives from evaluation processes. The study concludes that effective implementation of Ripparprov requires structural reform of collaborative mechanisms, particularly the establishment of a regular multi-stakeholder forum, rather than merely expanding individual program budgets.

Strengthening Students' Tolerant Character through Local Wisdom and Pancasila Value-Based Learning in South Tanjung Dayang: A Mixed Method Study

This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of a civic engagement learning model based on local wisdom in South Tanjung Dayang in strengthening students' tolerance through the actualization of Pancasila values. The background of this study is based on the challenges of increasing intolerance in higher education environments and the weak integration of local wisdom in Civic Education learning. The study used a mixed methods design with a sequential explanatory approach, which began with the collection and analysis of quantitative data, then deepened through qualitative data. The subjects of the study were students of the Pancasila and Citizenship Education study program at the Islamic University of Ogan Komering Ilir Kayuagung who were selected purposively. The research instruments included a tolerance character questionnaire, civic engagement participation observation sheets, and in-depth interview guidelines. The results showed that the civic engagement learning model based on local wisdom significantly improved students' tolerance character (p < 0.05). Qualitatively, students showed improvements in aspects of respect for diversity, inclusive attitudes, participatory dialogue, and collective awareness based on the value of mutual cooperation. The actualization of Pancasila values, particularly the second and third principles, is internalized through collaborative activities with the Tanjung Dayang Selatan community, such as community meetings, community service, and cross-cultural forums. These findings confirm that the integration of local wisdom into participatory learning not only strengthens civic competence but also builds a character of tolerance in a contextual and sustainable manner. This study recommends the development of a Civic Education curriculum that is adaptive to the local context as a character-building strategy in higher education.
