Abstract

Students' readiness to participate in civic affairs is gaining notoriety in light of the low quality of management practices in the teaching techniques of emerging nations in Civic Education. Consequently, based on the tenets of the Deliberative Democracy Theory, the purpose of the present study is to examine the impact of several civic teaching quality variables in fostering students' interest in civic issues. Teachers in the Kawangkoan environment of Indonesia were the focus of this study. 350 people were polled using a questionnaire-based technique to acquire data. Using SmartPLS v.4.0, data were examined. The conclusion revealed a substantial correlation between an open classroom environment, cognitive addiction, political dialogue, and the motivation to participate in civic concerns. The political interest was also found to mediate the relationship between the civic education quality characteristics and the students' willingness to participate in civic concerns, but with varying effects. Education is one of the most important sectors in Indonesia, as young people apply what they have learned in their educational careers to their daily lives. Consequently, the value of this research study is evident. This study is also beneficial for educators since, after acquiring unique knowledge from it, they can utilize it and enhance their teaching quality, enhancing student learning.
