COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF EIGHT GRADE STUDENTS OF CIVIC EDUCATION AND STUDENTS OF RELIGIOOUS EDUCATION ON ICCS 2022 STUDY

Abstract

ICCS is an international survey that deals with the knowledge and attitudes of students in relation to civic responsibilities and active participation in society. It covers areas that are considered to be increasingly important in modern society: sustainable development and global citizenship education, digital citizenship education (use of ICT for participation in social and political events), migration and diversity, young people's attitudes about political systems (trust in institutions, system, media) and individual feeling of freedom and security (Randjelovic et al., 2023 and Schulz et al. ., 2023). Given the similarities covered in ICCS research and the curriculum of Civic education, the question arises as to whether the achievements of students attending Civics and those students attending Religious Education are different. If there is a difference in student achievement, it can be rightly concluded that attending Civic Education classes creates a certain positive effect on students. The main goal of this research is to examine the relationship between students' achievement on the ICCS 2022 test and whether they attend civic education or religious education.
