Abstract

Citizenship education is a compulsory subject in all universities based on the Law on
National Education System. The purpose of this research is to know the implementation
of civic education in universities as well as obstacles and challenges in the
implementation. The research method used is descriptive analytical with qualitative
approach. Data collection techniques consist of primary data obtained from
respondents and secondary data in the form of literature, scientific journals both
nationally and internationally. From the result of research, it is found that giving the
course of civic education by lecturer is only theoretical only without accompanied by
the implementation of student activities. In addition, the lecturers who hold the subjects
of civic education have no competence in the field of state defense and do not get
special training as lecturer of civic education from any institution. This requires
support from the central government through the National Resilience Institute by
providing training in the form of lecturer candidates courses for Pancasila Education
and Citizenship Education courses.
