- Abstract
Nowadays, young citizens often misunderstand the meaning of democracy, interpreting it as an unlimited freedom, which in turn leads to anarchical acts. This situation is inseparable from the ineffective embodiment of democratic values in civic education classroom in particular. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to investigate several factors that can foster democratic intelligence of students in the classroom in Indonesia. These factors, including Civic Education Teacher Competence, School Environmental Factor, and Civic Education Class, and Democratic Intelligence of Young Citizens as Students, were studied.(tolong tambahkan lagi dan re-check ulang) To clarify the effect of several factors, mixed quantitative and qualitative approaches were chosen to gather data from civic education teachers participating in Teacher Certification Program, organized by Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, as well as from the Committee and teachers from the City of Sukabumi and Purwakarta and Garut Regencies. The findings showed that to create civic education classroom as a Democratic Laboratory, development of a conducive school environmental factor and school leadership adopting School-Based Management principles was important. This development will lead effective implementation of democracy in realistic social life, especially in Indonesia as a mixed-culture country.
