This open access book presents an in-depth analysis of data from
ICCS. An international group of scholars critically address the
state of civic and citizenship education in the four Nordic
countries that participated in the IEA International Civic and
Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) in 2009 and 2016. The
findings are of particular relevance to educators at all levels,
from school education through to teacher education. Nordic
countries have long traditions of democracy and their students have
performed relatively well in the ICCS assessments. Nonetheless,
citizenship education continues to evolve and has received
increasing attention in recent educational reforms, indicating
policymakers understanding that schools play an important role in
establishing democratic values among future citizens. Data from
ICCS can be used to analyze, discuss, and reflect on the status of
civic and citizenship education and can contribute to the discourse
on the potential role of education in contributing to sustainable
democracies for a common future. However, teaching citizenship and
learning democracy are two different things. While young people can
be taught about democracy in school, it is vital that schools work
together with the wider community in which youth operate to
strengthen civic understanding and values for all young people
regardless of their social and economic background.
