Subclaims¶

q2 i? The experience of civic education in the form of a specific subject provides valuable and necessary knowledge, but that alone is insufficient for civic competence development. → Naval 2022

Evidence¶

Naval 2022¶

Naval, C.; Villacís, J.L.; Ibarrola-García, S. (2022). The Transversality of Civic Learning as the Basis for Development in the University. Educ. Sci. 2022, 12, 240. https://doi.org/10.3390/educsci12040240

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

The article's conceptual argument at the formal education level states that a dedicated civic education subject "provides knowledge that is without a doubt valuable and necessary, but not sufficient". This is an authorial argument, not an empirical test; no effect size is reported.

"Generally speaking, we can say that the experience of civic education in the form of a specific subject cannot solve social and political problems. It provides knowledge that is without a doubt valuable and necessary, but not sufficient."
