• Varieties of social studies and citizenship education in Europe – Country reports

  2021-08-11

  In this issue of JSSE we want to present country reports that give a documentary and descriptive overview over the current situation of civic, citizenship, economic, political and/or social science education in the European countries (for earlier country reports see JSSE 2002, 2005, 2020). A country report should discuss educational institutions and policies in this field, the scholarly state of the art, and the education of educators. In this issue we warmly welcome that the report gives an analysis of the recent years’ trajectory and present situation of social science education, discussing the strengths and weaknesses as well as threats and opportunities of the future of this field in the national educational scene.

  A country report should address also educational policies and the state of the art of social science education theory and research, like recent research projects, relevant new doctoral theses, and so forth.
