This point is one of the important characteristics of citizenship in a democratic society. Second, in a social studies and civic education class, the students actively respected others’ opinions and learned from each other by actively participating in group activities and discussions. This point forms the basis of the citizenship necessary to form a democratic society. The above two points are thought to have implications for the social studies for civic education in Indonesia.]]>
