Civics and Citizenship Assessment

Civics and Citizenship Assessment

 

ACER has undertaken national and international assessments in the area of Civics and Citizenship, including the International Civics and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS), and Australia's National Assessment Program for Civics and Citizenship (NAP-CC).

International Civics and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS)

The ICCS investigates ways young people are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens in a range of countries in the 21st century. The study reports on student achievement in a test of knowledge, conceptual understanding and competencies in civic and citizenship education, and collects and analyses data about student dispositions and attitudes relating to civics and citizenship.

National Assessment Program Civics and Citizenship (NAP-CC)

Under Australia's National Assessment Program, the Civics and Citizenship sample assessment is administered to a representative sample of Year 6 and Year 10 students every three years. It is conducted under the auspices of the Education Council. NAP-CC assesses students’ skills, knowledge and understandings of Australia’s system of government, civic institutions and the values which underpin Australia’s democracy. It also provides an indication of student attitudes and their engagement in civic-related activities at school and in the community.
