“…Children's basic skills and competences are necessary for successful participation (Sadownik, 2018), and motivation to go to school supports participation (Aziz et al, 2018). If schools want to continue to develop towards greater participation, they need time for this process -to pay attention to school culture, to include participation and to see the value of participation (Müller-Kuhn et al, 2021).…”

Citizenship education is a relevant issue of education and international policy in many countries, including Lithuania, especially due to the current tense geopolitical situation. In 2022-2023, after updating general education curricula, citizenship education competence is included in all subjects of general education. According to the updated Fundamentals of Citizenship programme for grades 9–10, students can develop citizenship competences by participating in nonformal education and engaging in other activities related to citizenship education. To achieve the aim of the research presented in the article – to analyze the social-educational factors of children’s citizenship education in basic school – an empirical study was carried out, for which the Diagnostic Questionnaire for the Situation of Citizenship Education by Valuckienė et al. (2017) was used. The study made it possible to distinguish the social-educational factors important for citizenship education: the child’s trust in the school staff, the child’s relationship with community events, adults’ respect for the child’s opinion, the child’s interest in news and the child’s participation in school self-government. The results of the empirical study confirmed the hypotheses: 1) respect for the child’s opinion is moderately positively related to the child’s involvement in the life of the school community, participation in school self-government and 2) adults’ respect for the child’s opinion is weakly positively related to the child’s trust in the school staff.

Learning in 21 st century focuses on student participation. This is in line with the international standards of education (such as the ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance, and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) that are based on the principles of Outcome-Based Education (OBE). The achievement of learning outcomes of a study program (also referred to as Program Learning Outcomes: PLOs) requires student involvement in teaching and learning process. Thus, the term "student participation" should be clearly defined and implemented into teaching and learning process. While student participation encompasses various means, university (or faculty) may need to formulate a certain framework of student participation that is applicable to its context.

“…According to Müller-Kuhn and Häbig (2022), it is an "umbrella term. " For example, participation is synonymous with co-determination, co-design, or involvement (student voice, having a say, and student involvement; Müller-Kuhn et al, 2021;Müller-Kuhn and Häbig, 2022). However, the term participation is also used for involvement in processes, such as planning and decision-making processes (Müller-Kuhn and Häbig, 2022).…”

At school, it is important that young people are in an environment in which they feel well and have a positive attitude. To increase the positive attitude toward school as an indicator of the well-being of students, it is essential to know which factors influence it. Recent studies have indicated that participation opportunities at school might have a positive impact on the well-being of students. However, participation encompasses a wide range of different actions, decision-making processes, and forms of communication. This article explores different aspects of student participation—democratic school culture, active co-design, pseudo-participation, and the co-determination of students in the classroom and in teaching—and its relationships to student well-being. This article has an exploratory design and uses representative secondary data (n = 1,526) of students in the 8th to 10th grades in Vorarlberg (Austria) for a multilevel analysis to examine different aspects of student participation that promote or reduce student well-being. The results show that a democratic school culture has the strongest correlation with student well-being. Students’ co-determination and active co-design in the classroom and in teaching are also positively related to student well-being. Pseudo-participation has a weak negative effect on student well-being. The results suggest that in order to promote student well-being, it is important to increase the democratic culture of schools, to involve students in as many decisions as possible, and to let them have a real say in the class.
