Comparing civic competence among European youth: composite and domain-specific indicators using IEA civic education study data

Comparing civic competence among European youth: composite and domain-specific indicators using IEA civic education study data
Comparing civic competence among European youth: composite and domain-specific indicators using IEA civic education study data
Addressing the European Union monitoring of civic competence, this article presents a composite indicator of civic competence and four domain indicators. The data used
are from the 1999 IEA Civic Education study of 14-year-olds in school. The results demonstrate the complexity of the various influences on the development of civic competencies
across countries rather than support for a single or unidirectional theoretical explanation. The nation’s years of democracy play both a positive and a negative role
on different aspects of civic competence, while citizenship education has better than expected consequences in some countries

Abstract

Addressing the European Union monitoring of civic competence, this article presents a composite indicator of civic competence and four domain indicators. The data used
are from the 1999 IEA Civic Education study of 14-year-olds in school. The results demonstrate the complexity of the various influences on the development of civic competencies
across countries rather than support for a single or unidirectional theoretical explanation. The nation’s years of democracy play both a positive and a negative role
on different aspects of civic competence, while citizenship education has better than expected consequences in some countries
