Abstract

This study describes teachers’ neglect vis-à-vis building students’ civic disposition in civic education learning in junior high schools during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Employing a mixed methods approach, the research focuses on civic education teachers in junior high schools in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data collection involved surveys, focus group discussions, interviews, and documentation, subsequently analyzed through descriptive statistical and qualitative methods. The findings highlight three primary facets. First, the teachers did not conduct the students’ civic disposition building in civic education learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically based on the lesson plan, implementation, and assessment, which are inappropriate for values-based education; second, the factors that contribute to such neglect are teachers’ inadequate competencies, online learning, and the assessment system that focuses on cognitive learning outcomes; third, teachers’ neglect has implications for the building of student character, the existence of civic education as values-based education, and the obstruction of the national-character-building program.
