Moodle Based Project Citizen: Shape Civic Virtue Character

Abstract

The deterioration of education and the low motivation of learning of
students become a crucial problem at this moment, the essence of education is
fading over time, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Civic Education
which belongs to the social science becomes one of the boring subjects and is not
in demand by students. Whereas civic education is a subject that contributes
greatly to shaping the character of good citizens. As an effort to improve the
quality of education, motivation to learn, and restore students' learning interest in
civic education subjects at the secondary school level, a moodle-based project
citizen learning model was introduced to shape civic virtue character. Students
will be given the freedom to choose problems that occur around their environment,
be it moral problems, government policies, or environmental issues that must be
solved by students, and take concrete action to deal with the problem. The results
of the findings of problems and solutions put forward by students to overcome and
deal with the problem, then made interesting portfolio clippings to be presented.
This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at SMA
Pasundan 8 in applying the project citizen learning model. The results showed
character changes in students. Students have high learning motivation, aware of
the problems of the surrounding environment, can provide solutions in solving all
problems encountered, especially those related to civic education subjects so that
students have done civic engagement and formed the character of civic virtue.
