Abstract

Developments in information technology and communication in the global era of the 21st century have changed the world so quickly. Today Indonesia is confronted with problems arising from the progress of civilization and strong currents of globalization and no choice that can be selected in addition to preparing all Indonesians to strengthen the character of citizenship and the character of dealing with these changes. This study aims to determine the process of developing the 2013 curriculum in PPKn subjects, especially related to the competence of global citizens. The research design used is a mixed method with descriptive analysis research method. Data collection techniques were carried out using interviews, observation, literature study, documentation study, and questionnaire. The results showed that: (1) implementation of the curriculum in PPKn subjects focused on the ability of teachers to package the design, implementation, and evaluation of learning. (2) The process of developing the 2013 curriculum in learning PPKn ideologically and conceptually by design is good, but in its instrumental aspects, it has not. (3) The constraints in learning are in the learning material and the achievement of competencies, complexity is not only caused by differences in historical experiences in the process of growing nationalism, but also by the reality of Indonesia which is very pluralistic. (4) There needs to be the readiness of teachers, schools, and students to prepare a culture of openness for differences that arise in global life with the support of citizenship competencies from individuals, schools, and communities that are stronger.
