SEJARAH DEPARTEMEN HKn

The historical background of the establishment of the Department of Law and Citizenship (formerly Civics Hukum), is inspired by the universal phenomenon that every country tries to develop its citizens to become good citizens through formal education. Based on this phenomenon, the problem arises about who the educators (teachers) should teach civics education subjects, while the Civics teaching at schools is carried out by teachers who do not have adequate and professional competence in teaching these subjects.

Taking into account the needs in the field, and the role of IKIP MALANG as an educational institution that educates prospective teachers, in 1963 the Teacher Training School of Social Sciences at IKIP MALANG established a civics-law department, as a forum for preparing teachers who have the authority to teach Civics subjects. Initially, the department in question was called the "Civics-Law" department, which became a sub-division of the History department, FKIS. Furthermore, along with developments and renewals in the field of education in general, the Department of Law Civics stands alone as a department and does not become a sub-division of the history department.

Chronologically, the development of the name of the Department of Law and Citizenship (HKn) can be described as follows: In 1963, the HKn Department was established under the name Civics-Law Sub-Department; in 1968, it changed to the Civics-Law department (based on the 1969 Teaching Faculty of Social Sciences manual). In 1970, with a change in the arrangement of departments in the IKIP MALANG environment (especially FKIS), the Civics-Law department became part of the History-Civics-Law department (1970 FKIS IKIP MALANG Handbook). The name used is the Department of History-Law Civics. In 1973, based on the 1975 Guidebook, the name of the department changed to Sub Department of Civics, which became part of the Department of History-Civics. In 1975, according to the guidebook for IKIP MALANG in 1976-1979, the name of the department was changed to the Civics Department. In 1980, in accordance with the provisions in the 1980 MALANG IKIP manual, the name of the department changed to the Department of Law Civics. In 1982, in accordance with the provisions in the 1982 MALANG IKIP Guidebook, the name of the department was changed to the Department of Pancasila and National Citizenship Education. In 1983, based on the provisions of the 1984-1987 IKIP MALANG Guidebook, the name of the department was changed to the Pancasila and National Citizenship Moral Education Department which was valid until 1995. Since 1995 the Pancasila and National Citizenship Moral Education Department changed its name to the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Department (PPKn). ). Then since 2009, it changed to the Department of Law and Citizenship (HKn) until now.

In the HKn Department, starting in 1992 the Secondary School Education Curriculum (PKSM) was implemented, hereinafter referred to as the 1992 Curriculum. Furthermore, starting from the 1998/1999 academic year, the 1998 Curriculum took effect; the implementation of the 1992 Curriculum is integrated into the 1998 Curriculum.
