Abstract
ivic education in Indonesia is a general compulsary subject within the scope of general
education. Theoretically, civic education has to instill the values of nationalism and patriotism.
However, in its implementation, civic education faces several obstacles. The obstacles are not
only in terms of materital, method, and evaluation, but also from the students who are mostly
Muslims. In obtaining the data, qualitative approach was applied. As a result, several challenges
were faced in the implementation of civic education either from the Muslim students or the
environment such as the poor morality, the separation of curricular narratives of civic education
and religion, the rejection of nasionalism and patriotism value, the weak tolerance, the
development of increasingly liberal human rights, and the spread of sexual behavior. Such
condition represents civic education as a subject that tries to create good citizens that do not
have a connection with moral teaching based on religious narratives that have become a belief
and are ingrained in Muslims.
