The Role of Group Games in the Promotion of Citizenship Culture in based of Principles of Islamic Social Education: Case Study Citizen and Mafia Game

Since the correct understanding of citizenship culture and its promotion requires education and considering the importance and place of group games in education, in this research, an attempt has been made to analyze the "Citizen and Mafia Game" for its public interest, as a case study and as an example of group games for teaching the educational principles of citizenship culture. The basis of this analysis is the principles of Islamic social education. Research methodology is descriptive-analytical and inferential. The findings of the research include two parts, first, achieving the principles of Islamic social education regarding the promotion of citizenship culture based on verses, rivaiah, and the views of Muslim thinkers and the second part of the analysis and inference of the educational principles taken from the "Citizen and Mafia Game" regarding the promotion of citizenship culture. The principles of Islamic social education in this area include ten principles, among which four principles are the necessity of guidance, collective participation, informed choice and the principle of observing the law and social order in priority. Ten principles taken from the "Citizen and Mafia Game"as a case study are the principle of the necessity of supervision and leadership, the principle of collective wisdom, the principle of developing critical thinking and the principle of socialization which have the most correspondence and alignment with the principles of Islamic social education. Four principles: altruism and mutual respect, moderation and the principle of partner selection are not aligned. The negative points of this game are lacking attention to the principle of innocence, promotion of doubt and emphasis on lying. As a result, it is necessary to make games based on the principles of Islamic social education, which will introduce the future citizens of the Islamic society better to the Islamic social culture.
