dc.description.abstract | In this paper, we explore how teaching practices in classrooms influence students’
civic knowledge
achievement in three Scandinavian countries: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Using data from the
2009 International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS), our investigation focuses on the
measures of
“open classroom climate”
, which include seven items that ask students how often they
experience each of the seven teaching practices during regular lessons. From the students
’ pe
r-
spective of teaching practices in
the classroom, we hypothesize and assume that there should be a
balanced combi
nation of classroom practices where each method/activity carries a different
weight or level of importance. Applying logistic regression analysis, we assess the effect of each of
the practices on the probability with which a student becomes a high achiever
of civic knowledge
(as represented by odds ratios). Our results show both similarities and differences in the combin
a-
tions of classroom practices that have contributed to students
’ high civic knowledge achievement in
the three Scandinavian countries. Our findings provide useful messages to teachers in the class-
room, and they also have implications for teacher education and research. | language |
