Abstract

The study on young people's civic competencies, participation and attitudes was conducted in Finnish schools in 2009 as part of a larger ICCS 2009 study. It investigated the civic skills and knowledge of young people as well as their disposition to active citizenship. The study had three parts: one for students, teachers and schools each. The questionnaire for students is the broadest of the three with questions focusing on the students' civic awareness and views on civic society and European identity. This dataset includes the international, European and national modules of the student questionnaire. The FSD participated in the funding of the study. The first section presented the international questions. The respondents were asked how often they did different activities outside school (doing homework, discussing political issues with friends etc), whether they had participated in the activities of different associations and organisations, and whether they had participated in civic activities in their school (e.g. been involved in the school's decision-making). A number of statements related to civics classes and student participation at school (e.g. "students can openly disagree with the teachers", "every school should have a student board"). Views on society were charted with several statements relating to freedom of speech, rights of the citizens and the role of the media. The respondents were asked how important different actions are if one is to be a good citizen, for instance, voting in all national elections, following politics in different media and always abiding by the law. Opinions on equal rights in society were probed with various statements (e.g. "men and women should get equal pay when they are doing the same jobs", "all ethnic groups should have an equal chance to get a good education in Finland"). Perceptions of Finland were investigated with questions covering trust in civic institutions, attitudes towards Finland, and political party...
