Underscoring the complex relationship between civic engagement and
education at all stages of life, this innovative Handbook
identifies the contemporary challenges and best approaches and
practices to encourage civic engagement within education. Chapters
cover the theoretical and historical background of civic engagement
and education, ideological and social movements, civic-oriented
education, curriculum, and outcomes. Using empirical comparative
data and unique context-specific studies, the Handbook explores
ecopedagogy, education in emergencies, and the novel concept of
social contract pedagogy. Addressing contemporary challenges to
civic engagement in education, it examines polarization and
extremism, accelerating planetary and societal changes,
environmental crises, the digital divide, and post-Covid civic
education. Ultimately, it finds that civic engagement is best
supported by education practices that are characterized by
humanizing, negotiated, collaborative, and dialogical approaches
which encourage students to develop civic knowledge, critical
thinking skills, and moral and ethical values. Interdisciplinary
and international in scope, this Handbook will prove vital to
students and scholars of sociology and education studies. Its
holistic understanding of how civic engagement and education
interrelate at local, regional, and global levels will also be
useful to policymakers concerned with improving civic and student
support, engagement, and participation in education.
