Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between students’ learning interest andtheir civic skills in the Civic Education (PPKn) course among tenth-grade Culinary2 students at SMK MVP Ars International, using a quantitative correlationalapproach. The results show that 57.2 % of students fall into the “good” to “very good”category for learning interest, while 72.6 % achieve “good” to “very good” levels incivic skills. A correlation coefficient of r = 0.50 (p = 0.003 < 0.05) indicates amoderately strong positive relationship, with learning interest accounting for 25 %of the variance in civic skills (r² = 0.25). These findings confirm that the higherstudents’ interest and engagement in Civic Education, the more effectively their civicskills develop. The practical implications of this study support the adoption ofcontextualized learning strategies, project-based learning, and interactive media, aswell as the involvement of parents and community leaders to reinforce the material’srelevance.
