“…It therefore does not limit the political topics of lessons. The specialist linguistic corpus is also what enables pupils to make political arguments and judgements on more complex intellectual issues (see also Weisseno, 2022: 255).…”

This article examines achievement motivation in connection with the political knowledge of upper secondary level pupils at german vocational grammar schools. The influence of achievement motivation in civic courses has been scarcely researched so far. In the expectancy-value model, expectations of success are important determinants of action in relation to academic achievements. Pupils’ expectations of success or failure in civics courses have a behaviour-regulating function. They influence pupils’ behaviour when learning about politics. In the cross-sectional survey of 470 pupils, results show lasting effects from an approach motivation (“hope of success”) and an avoidance motivation (“fear of failure”) studied. The data of this study confirmed the influence of achievement motivation in civics courses on the school-related political knowledge. While cultural capital makes no significant difference in the extent of the motivational constructs, a migrant background showed moderate but inconsistent effects and gender had clear negative effects for the girls. In this study, it was shown that based on the theoretical foundation described, the theory of domain-specific competency can be combined with the achievement motivation in Civics.

“…Therefore, it is a central educational goal to create an awareness of what this responsibility means and what role the individuals should play. Since political attitudes, beliefs and stereotypes already develop in early childhood and are difficult to change throughout life (Weißeno, 2022), political or civic education must begin in early childhood (cf. Goll, 2021).…”

The interdisciplinary project PoJoMeC, funded by The Federal Agency for Civic Education (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung) in Germany, examines the political awareness and understanding of preschool and elementary school children. Thereby the interdisciplinary approach takes place from the perspective of political didactics, literature and media didactics, and journalism. The main research goal is to survey how political awareness of young children is expressed. Therefore, we draw on qualitative approaches, in which we focus (a) on the children's explicit knowledge, and (b) concepts of rule-based behavior. The different levels of abstraction of these concepts are based on a modification of the ecological model of human development according to Uri Bronfenbrenner (1979). This article outlines, on one hand, an interdisciplinary investigation for a viable concept of politics for research with children between the ages of 4 to 8 years. Therefore, we consider areas such as political didactics, literature and media studies, and philosophy, and introduce a research framework that does not start with terms and concepts but considers more fundamental forms of social perception. On the other hand, this chapter explains methodological approaches and evaluation methods and presents the preliminary results of a pretest with a sample of German preschool children.
