Abstract
The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) investigates the ways in which young people are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens in a range of countries. ICCS 2016, a continuation of the study initiated in 2009, served as a response to the emerging challenges of educating young people in a world where contexts of democracy and civic participation continue to change (Schulz, Ainley, Fraillon, Losito, & Agrusti, 2016). ICCS 2016 reported on student achievement using a test of conceptual knowledge and understanding of aspects of civics and citizenship. The study accordingly collected and analyzed data on students’ values, beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and behavioral intentions related to civics and citizenship.
