Abstract:

Various countries have positioned Civic Education in a strategic position, so that Civic Education learning is important to be given to every citizen, including in Indonesia. However, the material on Civic Education in Indonesia seems to have a secular pattern, even though Indonesia is a country based on the one and Godhead and consists of various ethnicities, religions, and cultures. This is the background for efforts to integrate Hindu spiritual cultural values ​​into the Civic Education material. This study aims to determine the perceptions of the community towards the integration of Hindu spiritual cultural values ​​into the Civic Education material and seek to find Hindu spiritual cultural values ​​that are relevant to the Civic Education material. This research method uses a qualitative research approach with ethnographic methods. This research took place at the Ganesha University of Education. The subjects of this study were 23 informants who were determined using the purposive sampling technique. Data collection in this study adheres to the principles of Human Instrument with semi-structured interview techniques, complete participation observation techniques, and documentation techniques. The data analysis technique used in this study is an interactive data analysis technique that consists of three stages of activities that occur simultaneously, namely data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions/verification. The results showed that the perceptions of the community represented by Civic Education practitioners, Hinduism practitioners, Balinese cultural practitioners, and students on the effort to integrate Hindu spiritual cultural values ​​into Civic Education materials received a positive response. They are of the view that Civic Education and Hindu spiritual cultural values ​​are like two sides of a coin that cannot be separated and are always interrelated with one another. Some of the Hindu spiritual cultural values ​​that can be integrated into Civic Education subjects are Tri Hita Karana, Tri Kaya Parisudha, Karma Phala, Samsara / Punarbawa, Sama Braya, Mulat Sarira, Puputan, Paras Paros Sarpanaya, Nyalanang Jengah, a handful of Seguluk Sebayantaka, mutual sharpening, mutual love, care for each other, and Metaksu. The results of this study are expected to have a positive impact on the progress of Civic Education in Indonesia, especially in realizing citizens who believe and have devotion to God Almighty.
