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个国家青少年为履行其公民角色所做准备的评估的国际性研究。该研究探讨了学生对公民与公民教育知识及理解的掌握，以及学生对公民与公民教育的感知、态度和活动。此外，研究还分析了各国在这些方面的差异，以及这些差异与学生的个人特征、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。如同其前身《1999年国际教育成就评价协会公民教育研究》（CIVED），2009年ICCS亦包含了关于公民知识与理解的学童测试，以及针对学生、教师和学校校长的问卷。全面的核心理念评估得以通过亚洲、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反映区域兴趣并调查与公民与公民教育相关的各个方面。调查数据得到了参与国家国家级研究中心收集的关于公民与公民教育国家背景信息的补充。数据收集于2008-2009年间，在“国际教育成就评价协会”（IEA）的指导下进行。ICCS从38个国家的超过5300所学校中收集了超过14万八年级（或相当年级）学生的数据，并将这些学生数据与超过62,000名教师的学校数据以及从学校校长和国家级研究中心收集的进一步背景数据相结合。
