Abstract
The changes in civic and citizenship education in the period from the 1980s to 2019 in Slovenia exemplify the process of socialism’s social and moral education evolution. It was characterized by transitions in ethics and society, as well as in citizenship education, and a renewed focus on patriotism. At the same time this is the period when the IEA’s CIVED (Civic Education Study) and ICCS (International Civic and Citizenship Education Study) were conceptualized and conducted globally. Therefore, we have tried to identify the “impacts” of CIVED/ICCS on Slovenian policymaking in education. This is seen especially in the development of the compulsory subject in the Slovenian grade 7 and 8. Those “impacts” are direct in some respects, but it is also important that indirect impacts can be identified. We conclude with recent discussions about civic and citizenship education in Slovenia, and the role of ICCS in them.
