This paper is aimed at
the two following goals: First, an overview of the Swiss results
of the IEA study on Civic Education, a comparative study across
28 countries, is presented. Regarding most major topics (civic
knowledge; civic skills; civic concepts with respect to democracy
and citizenship; civic attitudes, and participatory action)
the Swiss students aged 14/15 years score below the mean, as
compared to the 27 other countries. On the one hand, these results
put politicians in the field of education under the pressure
to change something. On the other hand, we are urged to raise,
as the second goal, the question whether this type of international
comparison studies (PISA as another example) is somehow politically
incorrect or obsolete. This second question is treated under
the heading «Intellectual Olympic Games». |
