An important aim of civic and citizenship education is to prepare young people so that they can engage with civic institutions and issues and become actively involved as citizens in adult life. The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2022 investigates aspects of civic engagement and factors that are related to that engagement. It focuses on students’ beliefs about their capacities to engage, their civic participation in and out of school, involvement in discussions with parents and friends about civic issues, engagement through digital media, and their expected future civic and political participation. Students’ beliefs in their ability to engage, as well as their willingness to participate in civic activities at school and discussion of civic issues with others, had consistent positive associations with their interest in social issues but there were no strong relationships with civic knowledge or socioeconomic background. Students’ expected participation in activities to protect the environment and their expected electoral participation were positively associated with civic knowledge. Students’ expected active political participation was positively associated with civic interest but negatively associated with civic knowledge and found to be slightly lower among female students. Student expectations to participate in illegal protest activities had a negative relationship with civic knowledge and was lower among female students.
