The results of the study indicate that Civic Education has an important role in instilling tolerance values in students through materials related to diversity, democracy, human rights, and Pancasila values. Civic Education learning helps students understand the importance of respecting differences in ethnicity, religion, culture, and opinions in everyday life. In addition, teachers also play an important role in fostering tolerance through group discussions, teamwork, and presentation activities that train students to respect and cooperate with one another. However, there are still obstacles in implementing tolerant attitudes, such as environmental influences and the lack of awareness among some students. Therefore, cooperation between teachers, schools, and parents is needed to continuously foster students’ attitudes of tolerance.

Social Studies (IPS) learning in elementary schools plays an essential role in developing students’ critical thinking skills and civic attitudes as part of 21st-century competencies. However, in practice, IPS learning is still commonly teacher-centered and lacks contextual learning experiences, resulting in low student engagement and limited development of higher-order thinking skills. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in IPS learning to enhance critical thinking skills and civic attitudes of grade VI students at SDN Prekbun. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, students, school principals, and parents, as well as documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that the implementation of PjBL effectively enhances students’ active participation, critical thinking skills in analyzing social issues, and civic attitudes such as responsibility, cooperation, and social awareness. Learning becomes more meaningful as students are directly involved in contextual, collaborative, and problem-based project activities. Despite these positive outcomes, several challenges were identified, including limited learning facilities, time management constraints, and variations in students’ confidence levels. This study implies that PjBL is an effective instructional model for strengthening character education and developing 21st-century skills in elementary social studies learning

This study identificates the importance of singing national songs as an effort to foster a sense of patriotism among elementary school students in the era of globalization and the 4.0 industrial revolution. The weakening of nationalism among the younger generation today implies that strategies for strengthening nationalism in schools must be changed. The focus of this investigation is to examine the influence of national songs in shaping the spirit of nationalism among students. Using a descriptive qualitative method at SD Negeri 3 Menganti in Jepara Regency, data was collected through direct observation and interviews with teachers and students. The findings of the study revealed that the routine of singing the Indonesian national anthem and the Jepara march every morning succeeded in fostering discipline, pride in the homeland, and increased self-confidence among students. Although there were some obstacles in the form of a lack of mastery of the lyrics by some students, the school responded with intensive guidance and facility support. Overall, this study concluded that the consistent combination of national and local songs is a character-building and strategic educational tool in the early absorption of national values.
