Abstract

The world of education is one of the vital assets for the progress of a nation, which is currently being hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic, so that teaching and learning activities in schools have changed drastically into online learning from their respective homes. This is a challenge in itself for students and teachers who have to guide and direct learning, especially civic lesson, one of which is through a contextual approach so that students are able to develop and have a caring attitude towards the environment. The purpose of this research is to describe the development of environmental care for students during the Covid-19 pandemic through contextual-based civic education learning. This research was conducted through a qualitative approach with literature study methods, data analysis focused on: data reduction, display verification data or drawing conclusions. The results showed: 1) the contextual approach made it easier for students to find out for themselves the meaning contained and the relationship between the knowledge obtained from the civic education and the environmental conditions during the pandemic even though the learning was carried out online, 2) the contextual approach in civic education learning was able to make students become individual, social beings and as good citizens. The conclusion of the study is that students are able to understand knowledge in civic education learning through a contextual approach which is one of the alternative learning, making it easier for students to relate teaching material to its direct application in everyday life in the current pandemic conditions.
