They find environment-based learning and information technology interesting and relevant, and they enjoy the variety of teaching methods that make learning more interactive and motivate them to learn. 3) The implementation of effective learning resource models creates positive interactions between teachers, students, and learning resources, with teachers acting as facilitators guiding students to interact with various resources. In conclusion, the implementation of effective learning resource models in Civic Education in elementary schools can increase student engagement, peer collaboration, and active participation in discussions, creating a dynamic learning environment that supports better learning outcomes and develops students' social and emotional skills.
