of students who are mostly less enthusiastic when the lesson will take place (Siboro,
2020), the low response from students to the teacher's questions and explanations and the
concentration of attention to the lesson is lacking (Sutiningsih, 2021), most students are
passive, they do not dare to talk about what is already and is not yet known (Simanjuntak,
2015), their concepts are right or wrong difficult for the teacher to know (Setiawan &
Sujadi, 2015), even though the teacher has tried to explain the material as much as
possible (Ahmad, Afifulloh, & Zakaria, 2020).
However, it turns out that the results have not been optimal (Deliana, 2019), this is shown
by the completion of learning that is still low. Other observations are the lack of quality of
learning towards civic education learning, among others (Komalasari, 2016): 1) Students'
interest in low citizenship education (Maulani, Tegeh, & Antara, 2020), 2) Low student
ability, 3) Students assume citizenship education as a hapalan lesson (Nurgiansah, 2020),
4) Students are not actively involved, 5) Teachers do less to carry out a variety of learning
activities (Sutisnawati, 2017), 6) Support from families at home is lacking. Overcoming
the lack of quality students in civic education lessons, it is necessary to improve quality
by providing a variety of learning models that are cooperative learning that is interesting
or fun, which engages students and can increase student activities and responsibilities.
Quality is something that encourages a person to move, whether realized or unconscious.
Quality arises because of a strong desire related to the existence of needs in someone who
demands fulfillment. Quality can be interpreted as the force or thrust that moves and
directs a person's will and behavior and all the power to achieve his desired goals, which
arise from the desire to meet his needs. Quality learning is at the heart of learning
activities, a driver that makes a person learn. The quality of learning is the overall
psychic driving force in the individual that gives rise to learning activities, ensures the
continuity of learning and provides direction for the achievement of learning goals. Based
on the above description it can be concluded that the quality of learning serves as a
driver, director and at the same time drives students to carry out learning activities to
achieve their desired learning goals.
Learning factors are classified into three factors, namely learning
stimulation factors, are everything outside the individual that stimulates the
individual to hold a reaction or act of learning. Stimulation in this case includes
materials, assignments, environmental, external atmospheres that must be studied
by students. The learning method factor, is the method used by teachers in
teaching. Different methods result in significant differences to the learning
process. Individual factors, regarding maturity, age, gender, experience, mental,
physical health.
Quality means a lot in the process of learning citizenship education. In
learning citizenship education, quality has a function to support a person to learn
citizenship education, as a driver who gives one energy or strength to learn
citizenship education, selecting actions, namely to determine which actions should
be done, encouraging the emergence of behavior to learn citizenship education.
Because one of the functions of quality is as a driver as mentioned above, the
quality of learning civic education is needed in civic education learning in the
effort to achieve learning achievement.
Several ways to improve the quality of learning can be taken in several
ways, namely optimization of the application of learning principles, optimization
of dynamic elements of learning, optimization of utilization of students'
experiences and abilities, and development of learning ideals and aspirations.
