PARTISIPASI POLITIK MAHASISWA PPKN UNIVERSITAS JAMBI DALAM PEMILU LEGISLATIF 2024

Abstract

This study aims to describe the political participation of PPKn students at Jambi University in the 2024 Legislative Election and analyze students' civic awareness in the practice of political participation. The study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological research type. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews and documentation with active PPKn students, political science lecturers, and student organization administrators. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the political participation of PPKn students at Jambi University is in the fairly good category. Dominant forms of participation include exercising their right to vote, following developments in political issues, and political discussions through social media and the campus environment. However, student involvement in more substantive political activities such as election monitoring, advocacy, and political education is still relatively low. Based on the Civic Voluntarism Model indicators from Verba, Schlozman, and Brady (1995), student participation is influenced by resources, psychological involvement, and social recruitment networks. Student civic awareness has begun to form, but its implementation in democratic practice still needs to be improved so that students are able to carry out their role as agents of change in democratic.
