<![CDATA[Civic Education (PKn) learning still tends to be normative and teacher-centered. The learning process places greater emphasis on mastering content rather than on meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to analyze the revitalization of Civic Education as democratic education in fostering elementary school students’ civic engagement in the Society 5.0 era through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The research method employs a qualitative approach based on PRISMA guidelines. Data were collected from various academic databases within the 2021–2025 period. A total of 60 articles were identified at the initial stage, then reduced to 45 articles after duplicate removal, 30 articles at the screening stage, and 20 articles that met the inclusion criteria for further analysis. The results indicate that Civic Education learning remains largely normative and teacher-centered, thus not yet optimal in promoting student engagement. Revitalization is needed through student-centered, experience-based learning approaches integrated with technology. In addition, the implementation of innovative learning models has been shown to enhance students’ participation in democratic practices. Therefore, Civic Education plays a strategic role in developing students’ civic engagement from the elementary level as a foundation for future democratic life. The implications of this study suggest that elementary school teachers need to develop more innovative and participatory Civic Education strategies by utilizing technology as a supporting tool.]]>
