International Civic and Citizenship Education Study, 2009

The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study, 2009 (known as ICCS) is an international assessment of the ways in which young people are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens, conducted in 38 countries. It investigated student knowledge and understanding of civics and citizenship as well as students' perceptions, attitudes, and activities related to civics and citizenship. It also examined differences among countries in these outcomes and the relationship of these outcomes to students' individual characteristics and family backgrounds, to teaching practices, and to school and broader community contexts. Like its predecessor IEA Civic Education Study, 1999 (CIVED), ICCS 2009 included a student test of civic knowledge and understanding, as well as questionnaires for students, teachers, and school principals. The comprehensive core assessment was complemented by three regional modules for Asia, Europe, and Latin America, designed to flexibly recognize regional interests and investigate related aspects of civic and citizenship education. The survey data were supplemented by information about the national contexts for civic and citizenship education gathered by the national research centers of the participating countries. Data were collected in 2008-2009 under the auspices of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). ICCS collected data from more than 140,000 Grade 8 (or equivalent) students in more than 5,300 schools from 38 countries. These student data were augmented with data from more than 62,000 teachers in those schools and further contextual data collected from school principals and national research centers.

《2009年国际公民与公民教育研究》（简称ICCS）系一项针对38个国家青少年准备承担公民角色方式的国际评估。该研究探讨了学生对公民及公民知识的认知与理解，以及学生对公民及公民事务的认知、态度和活动。此外，研究还考察了各国在这些成果上的差异，以及这些成果与学生的个人特征、家庭背景、教学实践以及学校及更广泛的社区环境之间的关系。与前辈《1999年国际公民教育研究》（CIVED）相似，ICCS 2009包括了对公民知识的测试以及针对学生、教师和学校校长的问卷调查。综合核心评估得以通过亚洲、欧洲和拉丁美洲三个区域模块的补充得到完善，这些模块旨在灵活地认可区域利益并探究公民及公民教育相关方面。参与国的国家研究中心收集的关于公民及公民教育国家背景的信息也补充了调查数据。数据收集于2008-2009年间，在评估教育成就国际协会（IEA）的指导下进行。ICCS从来自38个国家的超过5300所学校中的14万多名八年级（或同等年级）学生中收集了数据，并从这些学校中的超过62000名教师那里收集了数据，同时进一步收集了来自学校校长和国家研究中心的背景数据。
