CATCH-EyoU: D6.2 School National Reports

This is a cross-national dataset (Portugal, Italy, Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic and Estonia) containing data from interviews with teachers regarding youth active citizenship and EU and focus group discussions with students involved in associations/projects/activities that foster active citizenship.

The data set integrates the perspectives on youth active citizenship and EU of teachers (in total, 101 interviews) and students (in total, 51 focus groups), which included the participants’ comments on the main results of the textbooks’ analyses conducted in the previous phase.

The aim of the data set is to explore similarities and differences across participating countries regarding the EU and youth active citizenship at EU, national and regional level depicted in school curricula, school textbooks and among teachers and students.

The data can be reused by researchers/stakeholders who want to compare our data with similar data collected in different countries, to perform textual analysis (content analysis and/or data mining) on our data. Teachers might also find it useful to explore the analysis as a basis for their practice. Also other stakeholders may be interested in reanalyzing our data for comparative aims.
