The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2022 provided a wide array of findings about different aspects of civic and citizenship education. Its results continued to show a great variety not only in political and socio-demographic factors but also in how this learning area is implemented across different education systems, including integration of civic-related content into subject such as history or social sciences and/or teaching it as a separate subject. It also showed that teachers reported pre- or in-service training for areas such as critical thinking or safeguarding the environment more frequently than for ‘classical’ areas such as voting and elections, or political systems and institutions. While there was a notable decrease in students’ civic knowledge and understanding in many countries, which may have also been affected by recent disruptions of education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, large variations between and within countries in civic knowledge continue to indicate ample room for improvement across education systems, and the need for improving student learning in this area is highlighted by the finding that more knowledgeable students tended to be more willing to expect future engagement in elections or activities to protect the environment, and were also more supportive of equal rights for different social groups, of environmental protection and the importance of globally oriented citizenship behavior. The results further confirmed earlier findings about the positive effect of openness in classroom discussion of political and social issues and experiences with engagement at school on many civic-related learning outcomes including civic knowledge, which highlight the importance of providing young people with a school environment that allows them to practice engagement as a precursor of future participation in society.

摘要

The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2022 provided a wide array of findings about different aspects of civic and citizenship education. Its results continued to show a great variety not only in political and socio-demographic factors but also in how this learning area is implemented across different education systems, including integration of civic-related content into subject such as history or social sciences and/or teaching it as a separate subject. It also showed that teachers reported pre- or in-service training for areas such as critical thinking or safeguarding the environment more frequently than for ‘classical’ areas such as voting and elections, or political systems and institutions. While there was a notable decrease in students’ civic knowledge and understanding in many countries, which may have also been affected by recent disruptions of education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, large variations between and within countries in civic knowledge continue to indicate ample room for improvement across education systems, and the need for improving student learning in this area is highlighted by the finding that more knowledgeable students tended to be more willing to expect future engagement in elections or activities to protect the environment, and were also more supportive of equal rights for different social groups, of environmental protection and the importance of globally oriented citizenship behavior. The results further confirmed earlier findings about the positive effect of openness in classroom discussion of political and social issues and experiences with engagement at school on many civic-related learning outcomes including civic knowledge, which highlight the importance of providing young people with a school environment that allows them to practice engagement as a precursor of future participation in society.
