“…The studies mentioned above show us that school efforts can be related to students' equality attitudes. And although teachers are part of this school environment, we know very little about teachers' own relation to students' equality attitudes (Elchardus et al 2012;Sabol and Pianta 2012;Shernoff 2013).…”

The social justice teaching theory describes how teachers can transfer equality attitudes to their students. According to this theory, teachers are important role models in the political socialization process. Starting from an unequal disposition of equality attitudes between boys and girls, this article analyses how teachers can bring equality to the classroom by compensating for different attitudes on the topic of gender equality. We first discuss how teachers can influence equality attitudes, comparable to the influence by parents' socialization. Secondly, we assess whether teachers can compensate for differences in equality attitudes. Parallel to evidence from studies on parental socialization, we expect teachers with better student-teacher relationships in particular to be able to transfer equality attitudes better. For the analyses, we use the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS 2009), an important study of fourteen-year-olds' civic knowledge, attitudes and engagement. We use data from seven European countries and the Greek part of Cyprus, 1,160 schools and 24,087 students. To take the multilevel structure of this data into account the analysis includes a multilevel analysis (MLwiN). As expected we find a positive association between student-teacher relationships and equality attitudes. We also find that a good student-teacher relationship can compensate for attitudinal differences. By assessing adolescents' equality attitudes, we conclude that teachers can close an attitudinal gender gap.

“…Cross-national studies attempting to chart such attitudes among adult populations are relatively frequent (Ceobanu and Escandell 2010). European indicators of attitudes toward immigrants among youth are, in contrast, much rarer (Elchardus et al 2013). Yet, a fair amount of research indicates that tolerance emerges in and is most malleable from early adolescence onwards, which points to the strategic importance of monitoring such attitudes among youth (Allport 1954;Côté and Erickson 2009;Elchardus et al 2013;Van Zalk et al 2013).…”

Tolerance, like freedom and equality, is a fundamental feature of a mature citizenship in democratic societies (Almond and Verba 1963; Sherrod and Lauckhardt 2009). Tolerance of diversity is expected to promote democratic interaction and equitable participation in multicultural societies while intolerant attitudes may lead to racism and violence and pose threats to the stability of democratic institutions (Berry 2011; Berry and Sam 2014; Van Zalk et al. 2013). In a European context challenged by unpreceded

The increasing diversity of student populations is a global educational trend. The relatively recent rapid influx of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, coupled with issues of increasing intolerance, social exclusion and feelings of alienation, and extremism among young people, are posing complex challenges for educational systems around the world. Education has a key role to play in preparing future generations to address these problems and ensuring that young people acquire the social, civic, and intercultural competences needed for active and successful participation in society. This book presents five empirical studies, designed to examine differing factors and conditions that may help schools and teachers in their endeavors to promote tolerance in a globalized world. The 2009 International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) provided the research data. This introductory chapter describes the overall theoretical framework, discusses key constructs, and outlines the aims guiding the five studies, concluding with an overview of all chapters.
