Abstract

The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive framework for patterns of civic knowledge; attitudes toward democracy and citizenship; and the civic school environment of lower-secondary-school students by examining the case of a private school in Ankara from an international comparative perspective. The student questionnaire utilized in the IEA 1999 Study was adapted and used to collect data from a sample of 196 adolescents attending a private school. In general, Turkish students scored higher than the international mean in terms of civic knowledge related to political rights, the function of laws, free elections and gender discrimination. In addition, when compared to their international counterparts, the Turkish study group appeared to have a more conventional concept of citizenship, with a particularly strong emphasis on secularity

Özet

Bu çalışmada, ortaokul öğrencilerinin vatandaşlık bilgisi ile demokrasi ve vatandaşlığa yönelik tutumları ile ilgili betimsel bir çerçeve oluşturulmak istenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Ankara ilinde özel bir okuldaki öğrencilerin kavramsal bilgileri ve tutumları bir durum olarak incelenerek uluslararası karşılaştırmalı bir bakış oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada IEA 1999 öğrenci anketi uyarlanarak 196 katılımcıdan veri toplanmıştır. Genel olarak, ortaokula giden Türk öğrencilerinin yasaların işlevlerini, serbest seçimleri ve cinsiyet ayrımcılığı ile ilgili siyasi haklar gibi vatandaşlık kavramlarına yönelik bilgi düzeyleri uluslararası öğrenci verilerine göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, uluslararası akranlarına göre, söz konusu okulda Türk öğrencilerinin laiklik vurgusu daha güçlü ve daha geleneksel bir vatandaşlık algısına sahip oldukları ortaya çıkarmıştır
