Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that: Morals are an inseparable part of human life, morals are characteristics that show patterns of human behavior in carrying out their lives. Good morals show that a person has good behavior or behavior patterns, and vice versa. In this era of globalization, of course, moral issues get special attention, especially among teenagers.

The VCT model is an innovative learning model that can be applied in Civics learning in fostering the moral awareness of students in the global era. Growing awareness in students that morals are a very important part of carrying out life as good citizens. The global era cannot be avoided, but its development must be followed by continuing to apply moral values as well as strengthening and fostering moral awareness within oneself.
