The teacher competences must be mastered by pre-service civic education students.The purpose of this study is to assess the pedagogic and professional competence of prospective civic education teachers in Indonesia. In this study, an attitude scale questionnaire is used to assess indicators of teacher pedagogic competence and professional competence. This study included 178 student-teacher candidates for undergraduate citizenship education from various regions throughout Indonesia. Questionnaires were distributed through social media of student organizations and a network of lecturers in the same field using an online Google form. The study's findings are summarized, and these teacher candidates are confident in their ability to boldly teach Pancasila values and morals. This study recommends bold efforts to increase students' abilities to develop students' potential, which, based on these data, has the lowest percentage score, reaching only 73 percent. Meanwhile, the assessment, evaluation of the process, and learning outcomes developed in developing Pancasila's character and morals have all been rated as 82 percent satisfactory. The percentage score is comparable to other items that assess students' ability to use information and communication technology to develop as teachers. This research implication leads to the education of future teachers at universities to provide adequate pedagogic skills to increase the potential of online assisted students.
