“…The complex nature of these associations is also evident from the study by Castillo et al (2015) and classroom climate on students' expected participation. Both variables showed a positive and openness of classroom climate would favor the acquisition of civic knowledge, which in turn or lack of receptiveness to open and free exchange of ideas on politics and social issues) is less for schools aiming to mitigate the link between home background and future participation, or among young people.…”

“…Some researchers and authors see the development of curricula that are consistent with students' citizenship attitudes and beliefs as one means of expanding citizenship education in Latin America and developing an active citizenship in the region (Bascopé, Bonhomme, Cox, Castillo, & Miranda, 2015;UNICEF, 2015). Of interest is the fact that there is a supra-national Latin American perspective on this imperative even though the countries in the region differ on that perspective Jaramillo & Murillo, 2013).…”

“…Similarly, certain contextual characteristics of the classroom (e.g. open climate) are expected to mitigate the gaps in active citizenship stemming from students' socioeconomic background, although these moderation effects have not been convincingly demonstrated yet (Castillo, Miranda, Bonhomme, Cox, & Bascopé, 2015).…”

This study examined the effects of individual, school-level and country-level variables and their interactions on two components of adolescents' active European citizenship: trust in European institutions and participation at the European level. For comparison, country-related institutional trust and participation were also predicted. Using multilevel regression models, we re-analysed a subsample of survey data from the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS), collected from 14-year-old students (n=72,466) in 22 European countries in 2009. Results showed that higher cognitive engagement with politics (e.g., political interest), more opportunities for learning about Europe at school, and country wealth and social equality were positively associated with both aspects of adolescents' active European citizenship. In contrast to country-related participation, the participatory dimension of active European citizenship was also positively related to a higher socioeconomic status of adolescent's classroom and family, an association that was more pronounced in less wealthy and post-communist countries.

“…The research shows different tendencies in the role that education plays out. On the one hand, evidence shows a strong correlation between education and the formation of civic attitudes (Campbell;Levinson;Hess, 2012;Isac et al, 2014;Torney-Purta, 2002;Castillo et al, 2014a). While on the other hand, studies also reveal that socio-economic status deepens inequalities in levels of civic knowledge, with upper-middle class students performing better than low-income students (Delli Carpini;Keeter, 1996;Hooghe;Dasonville, 2013;Scholzman et al, 2012;Schulz et al, 2010;Castillo et al, 2014b;Schulz et al, 2011).…”

-Youth Activism in Chile: from urban educational inequalities to experiences of living together and solidarity 1. This article examines the geographies of youth political activism in Chile. It makes the argument that a historical spatial identity of public education, as the engine of workingclass and middle-class mobility, intersecting both with contexts of social mixing and with a historical urban educational inequality, provides a different lens through which to understand youth activism. This article seeks to analyse the linkages between these spatialities of public education and different geographies of youth activism as spaces of living together and as practices of solidarity. It reflects on the need for ongoing debates on citizenship education to engage with these geographies of youth activism in order to fully understand the significance of youth political participation within neoliberal market-driven education agendas.
