Abstract	This volume reports the results from the Civic Education Study of Upper Secondary Students conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). [...] The IEA Civic Education Study was initiated to examine the ways in which young people are prepared for their rights and responsibilities as citizens in democratic societies. During 1999, 90.000 14-year-old students from 28 countries were administered tests of civic knowledge and skills, and surveys of civic concepts and attitudes. The international findings for this age group of students were released in 2001 and reported in "Citizenship and Education in Twenty-eight Countries" [...]. During the following year, over 50.000 upper secondary students (ranging in age from 16 to 19 years) from 16 countries received a similar test of civic knowledge and skills, including some new, more difficult items and economic literacy items not given to the 14-year-olds, and the same survey of civic concepts and attitudes. Items were designed to measure students' knowledge of fundamental principles of democracy; skills in interpreting political communication; economic literacy, concepts of democracy and citizenship; attitudes related to government institutions, the nation, immigrants, and women's political rights; and the students' expectations for future political activities. The content domains covered in the test and survey were identified during an earlier phase of the study and include Democracy and Citizenship; National Identity; and Social Cohesion. The results from the upper secondary students, reported in this volume, enabled researchers to examine both national and age-related trends pertaining to civic knowledge, attitudes, and expected activities. Stated another way, data were collected from over 140.000 students to provide a series of snapshots of the civic knowledge, attitudes, and engagement of both younger and older adolescents.
