The Influence Of Civic Knowledge, Civil Skills, And Citizen Involvement On Legal Awareness Among Students

Abstract

This study examines the influence of civic knowledge, civil
skills, and citizen involvement on legal awareness among
students. Legal awareness is an essential aspect of citizenship, as
it enables individuals to understand their rights, responsibilities,
and the legal system governing their society. The research aims
to explore how civic knowledge, civil skills, and citizen
involvement contribute to the development of legal awareness
among students. The study employs a quantitative research
design and collects data through a survey questionnaire
administered to a sample of students from various educational
institutions. The questionnaire includes items that measure the
participants' levels of civic knowledge, civil skills, citizen
involvement, and legal awareness. Statistical analysis techniques
such as correlation and regression analyses are used to examine
the relationships between these variables. The findings reveal
significant positive associations between civic knowledge, civil
skills, citizen involvement, and legal awareness among students.
Higher levels of civic knowledge are correlated with increased
legal awareness, indicating that a solid understanding of civic
principles, institutions, and democratic processes contributes to a
better comprehension of legal rights and obligations. Similarly,
possessing civil skills, such as critical thinking,problemsolving,and effective communication, positively influences legal
awareness. These findings underscore the importance of civic
education programs that focus on enhancing civic knowledge,
civil skills, and citizen involvement to promote legal awareness
among students. Such programs can be integrated into school
curricula, extracurricular activities, and community initiatives to
foster active citizenship and empower young individu.
