In which subjects does the ICCS assess knowledge and skills?

The ICCS, which stands for the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study, specifically focuses on assessing students' knowledge and skills in civic education. This study emphasizes civic knowledge, attitudes towards civic engagement, and the skills necessary for participating effectively in democratic life. The goal is to understand how well students are prepared for active and informed citizenship, showing the importance of both knowledge of civic principles and the attitudes that encourage students to engage in society.

While there are numerous assessments for subjects like mathematics, science, literacy, and foreign languages, the ICCS uniquely targets civic education, distinguishing it from assessments that focus more broadly on academic skills or content areas. The focus on civic knowledge and skills aligns with the study's aim to evaluate how well students can engage in their communities and the democratic processes around them.
