Descripción / Abstract
Zunächst werden unterschiedliche Theorieansätze und Konzeptionen des guten Bürgers vorgestellt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird das Messinstrument zur Erfassung von Bürgeridealen im Rahmen der International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS 2009) diskutiert und eine Neukonzeption vorgeschlagen. In einer empirischen Studie mit deutschen Schülern und Schülerinnen wurde die Dimensionalität eines alternativen Messinstruments mittels Konfirmatorischer Faktoranalyse überprüft und dessen differenzielle Validität aufgezeigt. Dazu wurde regressionsanalytisch untersucht, inwiefern Bürgerideale kontextspezifisch in Abhängigkeit von Migrationshintergrund und der Wahrnehmung sozialer Gerechtigkeit im Schulsystem variieren. Erwartungskonform zeigt sich, dass ein Indikator für Migrationshintergrund und eine geringere Wahrnehmung von sozialer Gerechtigkeit jeweils mit einer stärker privatisierenden Vorstellung des guten Bürgers einhergehen.
Schlüsselwörter: Einstellungsmessung, politische Bildung, Bürgerideal, Bürgertypen, Wahrnehmung sozialer Ungleichheit, Schule, Migrationshintergrund
The article presents theory and research on the concept of "the good citizen". The operationalisation within the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS 2009) is criticized as presenting a rather narrow concept of the good citizen. On the basis of political theory, a new instrument distinguishing six different ideas of the good citizen is suggested. In the course of an empirical study with students in Germany, the new instrument has been tested. A model representing four of the six good citizen concepts could be statistically confirmed. Further, the validity of the distinction between different ideas of the good citizen is shown by tracing back variations within the preferred concepts to characteristics of the students, such as their migration status and their perception of social justice within the school system. As expected, immigrant students and students that perceive the school system as unjust tend to show an idea of the citizen as a law obeying private subject.
Keywords: Measurement of attitudes, citizenship education, good citizenship, types of citizenship, perception of social inequalities, school, migration background
