Elisabeth Lang – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2023
The idea of one shared past, can develop identity-building potential. Nevertheless, there are diverse memory practices in plural societies and they are an expression of shared, divided, and conflicting memories. The negotiations of (diverse) past(s) and memories and, consequently, related belonging(s) to so-called 'remembrance communities' take…

Grobshäuser, Natalie; Weißeno, Georg – Education, Citizenship and Social Justice, 2021
Political education in school is aimed at preparing adolescents for their role as citizens, which comprises political participation as well as political knowledge.

Seidel, Sebastian; Bettinger, Patrick; Budke, Alexandra – Education Sciences, 2020
In Germany, 93% of young people between the ages of 10 and 18 play video games daily. Political geography, in particular popular geopolitics, have found that video games can help to establish and develop people's understanding of geopolitics. Consequently, this affects geography education, providing both challenges and opportunities for teaching.…

Nadja Bömmel; Guido Heineck – Education Economics, 2023
Many studies suggest a relationship between education and political participation, but only some address causality. We add to this by re-examining the German case. For identification, we exploit an exogenous increase in compulsory schooling, and use data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). The data enable analyses that do not rely…

Heyes, Joshua M. – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2022
Thinking sexuality education and religion together often results in antagonisms that pit religious and secular values against each other. Political theology provides new insights into this tendency by showing how modern concepts of political legitimacy are based on secularised Christian theology. Neoliberal schooling, public sexual health and…

Bruen, Jennifer – Irish Educational Studies, 2014
In order to generate higher levels of interest in politics and participation in political processes, political or citizenship, education in schools must be at the heart of the curriculum and be characterised by active, learner-centred approaches. This paper hypothesises that, when compared with Germany, a more limited form of political education…

This article will seek to characterize, as figures of "localitas,"…

Schnebel, Karin – Citizenship, Social and Economics Education, 2016
Politics is inseparable from conflict. But we often have the idea that the political process has to simply "solve" conflicts and in so doing make the conflict disappear. And because the politicians are not able to do this and instead simply continue arguing, we get the impression that we have incompetent politicians, whom we cannot…

This article examines the responses of former Nazi elite school staff to the pressures of denazification.

Landwehr, Barbara; Weisseno, Georg – Citizenship, Social and Economics Education, 2016
Very little research has been conducted on the contribution of political education to learning progress in Germany. Hence, there is a need for intervention studies measuring performance against the theoretical background of a political competence model. This model comprises three constructs: subject knowledge, motivation and attitudes. According…

Gronostay, Dorothee – Journal of Social Science Education, 2016
Being challenged by opposing views in a controversial discussion can stimulate the production of more elaborate and sophisticated argumentations. According to the model of argument reappraisal (Leitão, 2000), such processes require transactivity, meaning that students do not only give reasons to support their own position (e.g., pro/contra…

Reichert, Frank – Journal of Social Science Education, 2014
Political competencies are often considered a precondition for political action; however, they are not independent of previous political participation, which may also include the frequency and the kind of political media consumption. My research aims at finding out the importance of participation in political activities in the past, as well as…
