Ma’kombongan Based Group Investigation Learning Model In Analyzing Controversial Cases Related To The Teaching Of Civic Education

Abstract

Civic Education learning is considered boring by some students, mainly because the subject matter and delivery are presented in a one-way format. Civic Education in higher education should transition to a problem-based learning approach, making it more contextual and dynamic. Civic Education in college shouldn't be monotonous memorization; instead, it should focus on enhancing analytical and applicative thinking skills and the ability to provide input on existing phenomena or issues. Therefore, a learning model that encourages active student participation, such as the problem-based , is needed. This model aims to explore the depth of controversial issues discussed by students. The research results reveal the controversial issues and how the ma'kombongan-based group investigation process can improve students' analytical skills and reasoning abilities.
