Influences of the IEA Civic and Citizenship Education Studies (original) (raw)

This open access edited book identifies the multiple ways in which the comparative studies of civic education conducted by IEA (the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) have contributed to national and international discourse, research and practice. The studies are CIVED (conducted in 1999) and ICCS (conducted in 2009 and 2016). These remain the only large-scale international studies dedicated to formal civic education in schools and to factors such as an open climate for classroom discussion and opportunities for participation at school. The book discusses in-depth how individual countries are preparing their young people for citizenship in changing political, social and economic circumstances. This includes descriptions of civic knowledge test results, responses to attitudinal scales including attitudes toward immigrants and toward women’s rights, and reports of civic-related participation (both currently and expected in the future). In this edited book representatives from more 20 countries present either their own country’s experience or look across countries for regional trends and broader conclusions. Opportunities for secondary analysis of the freely-available data are described. The full datasets, texts of the instruments and references to current articles are available at CivicLEADS.org.
