| Description |
|
The IEA Civic Education Study is the largest and most rigorous study of civic education ever conducted internationally. This research tested and surveyed nationally representative samples consisting of 90,000 14-year-old students in 28 countries, and 50,000 17- to 19-year-old students in 16 countries throughout 1999 and 2000. Questionnaires were also administered to teachers and school principals. The content domains covered in the instrument were identified through national case studies during 1996-1997 and included democracy, national identity, and social cohesion and diversity. The engagement of youth in civil society was also a focus. Two major reports on the survey data were issued by IEA (the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) in 2001 and 2002. These reports can be found under Publications, along with their executive summaries. Two other IEA publications (from the case study phase), a number of national reports, and publications of secondary analysis are also available there. Instructions for obtaining copies of the CD-ROM of international data and the technical report are included. The students' instrument (portions of the test and all of the attitudinal and behavioral survey) and the teachers' and headmaster/principals' instrument can be found under The Study. The website overviews the study, the instruments used, participating countries, key publications, contacts and other dimensions of the IEA Civic Education Study. |
