摘要

Young people construct and develop their civic knowledge, attitudes, and dispositions within several contexts: the context of the wider community, the context of schools and classrooms, the home and peer context, and the context of the individual students. The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2022 investigated different aspects of school and classroom contexts using data from the school, teacher, and student questionnaires. It assumed that students learning outcomes in the field of civic and citizenship education are the result not only of teaching and learning processes, but also of their experiences at school. It focuses on participatory processes and social interactions at school, on approaches to social and cultural diversity at school, as well as on civic and citizenship education activities in the local community and in classrooms, including activities related to sustainable development and global citizenship education. Results suggest that students were actively involved in school life and that they have positive perceptions of classroom climates that were open for discussion and of their relations with teachers. Schools tended to provide activities to accommodate diversity and foster inclusion and teachers reported adoption of a variety of teaching strategies for responding to cultural and social diversity in their classrooms. Schools also reported activities inside the schools and in the local communities that provide students with opportunities to learn about topics such as human rights, citizens’ rights and the protection of these rights, responsible internet use, and environmental sustainability.
