“…Our results indicated that girls tended to fall into the Rationals group compared to the Moderates and Radical groups and boys tended to fall into the Radical and Moderates groups. The results were consistent with Kuang and Kennedy's (2020) study that found boys are more likely to be Radicals. It is also of interest to note that high SES students were more likely to be members of the Rationals rather than the Moderates.…”

“…Socioeconomic background (SES) and gender are directly related to different forms of future participation (Kuang and Kennedy 2020). Students' civic learning experiences, participation experiences, and other relevant civic values were identified as important variables in ICCS 2016 (Schulz et al 2018b, pp.…”

“…Students' civic learning experiences, participation experiences, and other relevant civic values were identified as important variables in ICCS 2016 (Schulz et al 2018b, pp. 151-176) and used as predictors in previous studies (Chow and Kennedy 2014;Kuang and Kennedy 2020). The current study, therefore, included these variables in the analyses.…”

The citizenship norms discussed in this book reflect students' attitudes towards social movements and conventional citizenship. These foci have been a mainstream interest of political scientists and researchers concerned with civic engagement. Yet such an approach has tended to exclude norms that are more radical than conventional/social movement approaches, but still within the broad expectations of democratic citizenship. The exclusion of more radical forms of civic engagement as part of democratic citizenship is particularly problematic when it comes to Asian youth. Since 2014, Korea, Chinese Taipei, and Hong Kong have been sites of both legal and illegal protests, and many of these have involved young people. Thus, using data from IEA's International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) 2016, the focus of this chapter is the identification of Asian students' intentions for civic engagement, broadly conceived to include different forms of protest. Using mixture models, profiles were developed of the different ways young people see themselves being civically engaged in the future. These profiles were assessed against the conventional civic norms referred to earlier in order to better understand Asian students' citizenship values and their proposed civic actions. Conclusions related to policy, theory, and practice are drawn, helping us to understand expanded notions of civic engagement in Asian contexts.

“…A methodology used in many of the studies cited above was person-centered analysis: two stage cluster analysis (Chow 2013;Wang 2019), latent profile analysis (Kuang 2016) and mixture Rasch modelling (Kuang and Kennedy 2018). The question remains as to whether similar results will be yielded by different methods.…”

“…Similarly, Wang (2019), using a survey based on ICCS 2009, found with samples of students from Mainland China that around 10% endorsed illegal protest positively as a future option for themselves. Kuang and Kennedy (2018) explored reasons for adolescents to consider illegal protests as a potential form of future civic engagement. They focused on Hong Kong students and their attitudes to future engagement in both legal and illegal protest activities as measured by ICCS 2009.…”

Influences of the IEA Civic and Citizenship Education Studies

It has been argued that "Asian values" in general and Asian citizenship values in particular are distinctive to the region. A range of theoretical literature has advanced this view. Scholars have referred to an "Asian modernity," reflecting regional citizenship values across time and borders. This departs from the largely Western idea of a set of universal democratic values that are characteristic across countries and has important implications for citizenship education. This chapter summarizes empirical analyses that have used IEA International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) 2009 data to explore "Asian" citizenship values, their extent, and their meaning. The results suggest that diversity rather than uniformity characterizes students' citizenship values in five Asian societies. Within and across these societies there are varying levels of endorsement of citizenship values (including traditional values), and support for civic engagement. This chapter highlights several ways of thinking about Asian citizenship values and suggests an ongoing research agenda to address the diversity that characterizes the region.Inter-referencing is the approach taken here to look comparatively at Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Thailand-participating countries in the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) 2009 (Fraillon et al. 2012). The first sections below summarize research studies examining the extent to which young people endorsed a set of common "Asian values."

Governance and Citizenship in Asia

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aims and ScopeThis series explores how citizenship is shaped by social, political, cultural and historical contexts and how it may be moulded to serve the nation state in the age of globalization. In these publications we see how governance relates to all aspects of civic life, including politics, public policy, administration, civil society and the economy, as well as the core values of society.Titles cover themes including public trust and trust building, the role of civil society, citizens' rights and obligations, citizenship identities including those related to gender, class and ethnicities. Authors explore how young people are shaped by democratic and traditional value systems and the importance of citizenship challenges in the Asia Pacific region.Research collaborations in this interdisciplinary series probe questions such as: What are the links between 'good governance' and new forms of citizenship? What is the role of citizenship education as a tool in state formation and the development of active citizenship cultures? How do we explain the distinctive features of governance and citizenship in Asian societies?Through these publications we see that citizenship is an integral part of 'good governance' and that such governance ultimately enriches citizenship. Scholarly investigation and academic dialogue in this series describe the interdependence and mutuality of governance and citizenship.
