- Abstract
The necessity of industrialization development in 21st century is inevitable. This pushes the citizens to enhance their skills. In preparing themselves to face the era, there is a requirement for education that can increase the citizens’ creativity, innovation, and competitive nature. Technology usage optimization is on high demand. This can be implemented through learning models that involve information and communication technology. One of them is blended learning, which combines primary learning resources that are face-to-face meeting, online learning, and offline learning. This is one of the ways that is done in order to improve citizen skills (Civic Skill). There are three 21st century-focused skill categories: (1) learning and motivation skills, (2) information, media, and technology skills, and (3) life and career skills. These three skill categories are intertwined with the goal of civic education which is to form the character of a skilled citizen. This study focuses on examining blended learning implementation in civic education. The research utilizes qualitative approach with descriptive research methods. The findings showed that using blended learning in civic education was appropriate to form 21st century skills. This was due to its success in forming and enhancing required skills, particularly in information, media, and technology skills. This is because through blended learning, soft skill and hard skill are honed well. Soft skill are formed through online learning activities, and hard skill are formed through online and offline learning. However, these learning activities should be conducted continuously so that 21st century skills continue to develop in students.
