Systematic review of empirical studies on international large-scale assessments of civic and citizenship education

Active participants but confused minds: university students’ perceptions of citizenship learning experiences in Chinese higher education

“…Teachers may confront tensions between preparing students for examination and nurturing citizenship, and between guiding students to develop political loyalty and promoting multiple perspectives (Xu, 2021). Therefore, the results also highlight the necessity of investigating policymakers’ and teachers’ perceptions of civic and citizenship education and how they understand these changes ((Myoung and Liou, 2022). Corresponding changes require time, effort and appropriate conditions, and their realization can be facilitated or constrained at the same time by various pedagogical and nonpedagogical factors.…”

“…Unlike activist citizenship in the western context, students' acts of citizenship in China tend to be more intertwined with cultural specificities, which may serve to open possibilities of their citizenship performance under authoritarian regimes (Małgorzata, 2022). Therefore, more efforts could be made to understand students' citizenship learning beyond the curriculum and classes, and to divert our research attention to their daily experiences related to various cultural preferences and consumption in their peer contexts (Myoung and Liou, 2022).…”

Ethical labels and conspicuous consumption: impact on civic virtue and cynicism in luxury foodservice

“…In the context of luxury foodservice, consumer civic virtue becomes a fundamental component, comprising both self-efficacy and the creation of efficacy-affirming social experiences (Khan et al ., 2020). Within the luxury foodservice sector, civic virtue entails an indispensable sense of ownership that plays a pivotal role in individual liberty and overall well-being (Myoung and Liou, 2022). This expanded perspective on the link between civic virtue and solidarity consumption provides insights into quantifying the ethical aspects of conspicuous consumption, emphasizing the alignment of purchasing desires with civic virtue, especially in the luxury foodservice context.…”

“…Within this luxury foodservice setting, ethical label purchasing can be viewed as a mechanism to evaluate the authenticity of luxury food products or brands, aligning closely with consumers' contemporary preferences for ethical, sustainable, and solidarity-driven consumption (Chen et al ., 2021). Such behaviors are intrinsically linked to the development of civic virtue, reflecting the ethical attributes of individual-level luxury food purchases (Myoung and Liou, 2022). This culture is expected to bring forth positive impacts on human civic virtue, overall well-being, and thriving within the luxury foodservice community, reflecting the profound interplay between luxury, ethics, and the satisfaction of basic human needs (Antonacopoulou, 2022; Talukdar, 2021).…”
