<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the experience of students of private madrasah ibtidaiyah (MIS) Sultan Agung, Depok District, Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, in learning Civic Education and how these experiences are interpreted in the formation of democratic character. The research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, which focuses on the subjective experience of students in interpreting democratic values experienced during the learning process at MIS Sultan Agung, Depok District, Sleman Regency. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and reflection on students' experiences, then analyzed thematically using phenomenological analysis stages to find the essence of the learning experience in madrasah. The results of the study show that MIS Sultan Agung students of Depok District interpret Civic Education learning as a starting space to experience democratic practices through active participation, dialogue, and joint decision-making. Democratic values such as openness, tolerance for differences, collective responsibility, and awareness of process fairness are formed through the experience of social interaction in the classroom. The role of teachers as learning facilitators is a key factor in opening or limiting the democratic space in learning. In addition, the process of reflection on experience strengthens the internalization of democratic values so that it has an impact on the attitude of MIS Sultan Agung students, Depok District, Sleman Regency outside the classroom context. This study concludes that the formation of the democratic character of MIS Sultan Agung students is highly determined by the quality of the learning experience they experience in Civic Education learning. Learning Civic education that is oriented to experience, participation, and reflection has great potential in shaping a contextual and sustainable democratic character in madrasah.]]>
