This study aims to see how case study methods and project-based learning in civics courses can help students become more digitally literate and build a positive mindset in their social life. The main problem is how the rapidly growing information through social media can lead students to view many things negatively because they are less critical and less able to filter the information received. This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods. The researcher distributed questionnaires to students in three classes and then selected three people from each class to be interviewed to deepen the questionnaire results. The respondent is a first-year student at a university in Jakarta. Through the survey, researchers examined how students filtered information and the extent to which they could be involved in disseminating unverified information. The researcher also discussed how the effectiveness of the case study method and the final project could build a positive mindset. The results showed that students were less able to filter information on social media and were fast enough to forward unverified information. Because they tend to access negative information, they tend to be less proud of the wealth and abilities of their nation, share the blame for the situation that is lacking, and become apathetic to being involved in social activities. Case studies and final projects in the Civics course are very effective in helping students build critical attitudes, be able to filter information and become more appreciative and supportive of social-life problems.
