Maurissen, Lies; Claes, Ellen; Barber, Carolyn – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2018
Schools are expected to contribute to preparing students for engaged citizenship.

Kuang, Xiaoxue; Kennedy, Kerry – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2020
Protest is a common, if somewhat contested, form of political engagement. Little is known, however, about the decision to participate in illegal protest as a form of civic engagement. Using data from the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2009 (ICCS 2009) (Schulz et al. 2010), the current study explored Hong Kong adolescents'…

Brooks, Jeff; Bock, Tonia; Narvaez, Darcia – Journal of Research in Character Education, 2013
The link between judgment and action is weak throughout psychology, including moral psychology. That is, people often do not act in accordance with their reasoning. Might moral judgment development be better viewed as a capacity that inhibits "immoral" behavior? One model that helps account for the moral judgment-action gap is Rest's…

The sample comprised 1664 students in their Year-7-Year-12 (mean age = 14.79, range = 12-18). Structural equation…

Koh, Caroline – Australian Journal of Education, 2012
Recent world events such as the threat of terrorism and the global economic crises have rekindled an interest in ethics and values education.

Paterson, Lindsay – Oxford Review of Education, 2009
It is widely agreed that formal learning can influence people's social attitudes and can encourage them to take part in civic activities. Less investigated, however, has been the question of whether these effects flow from any kind of education, or whether particular subjects of study are more relevant to civic values than others. The 1958 and…

McIntosh, Hugh; Munoz, Marco A. – Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), 2009
The landmark Civic Mission of Schools report of 2003 laid out an argument for the role of schools in promoting youth civic engagement and presented a range of promising ideas and practices to accomplish that. In this study we describe the civic engagement outcomes that Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) in Louisville, KY, has chosen to promote…

Zaff, Jonathon F.; Malanchuk, Oksana; Michelsen, Erik; Eccles, Jacquelynne – Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), 2003
Researchers have theorized that programs to promote positive citizenship should begin with an opportunity for adolescents to participate in civic activities, such as community service or political volunteering. In this report, the authors expand this theoretical perspective by arguing that programs to promote positive citizenship may need to begin…

Kelly-Woessner, April; Woessner, Matthew – Journal of Political Science Education, 2008
Political scientists have noted that, in a variety of communication settings, people are less receptive to information that comes from a politically disagreeable source. Yet, there is little research on patterns of communication across lines of political difference in an educational setting, which we argue is unique in a number of ways. Using a…
