Description

<p>  Corresponding to the introduction of a new compulsory subject called ‘The Public’ in high school Civics, this article aims at, from the political studies perspective, analysing the contents of its official textbooks “The Public” is characterised by a more through structure of “acquisition-utilisation-exploration” than the previous “Contemporary Society.” Students learn and utilise social scientific concepts and theories in order to explore a solution to real problems in contemporary society. The result of the analysis shows that some descriptions were the same in all textbooks, some others are different from textbook to textbook, and some are not adequately explained in any textbook. It also became clear that university political science textbooks are not only weak as citizenship education in terms of the utilisation of concepts and theories, but also do not take over some important concepts and theories underlined in the ‘The Public’.</p>
