Inan attempt to bring some much needed clarity to this field, this conceptual study will question the way different epistemological conceptions of citizenship and education influence the characteristics of civic education. Offering a new conceptual framework that concentrates on the different undercurrent conceptions that lay at the base of the civic education process, a new typology of the term civic education will be presented. With the use of the methods of ideal types, four conceptions of civic education will be brought forth: Liberal Civic Education; Diversity Civic Education; Critical Civic Education and Republican Civic Education. After describing these conceptions and the theoretical field on which they are based, the potential applications of these conceptions in the classrooms and in research will be presented.  \nIntroduction  \nThe last decade of the 20th century and the beginning years of the third millennium have shown a rise of the ongoing discourse regarding the meaning of the term ‘citizenship’. The challenge of the fundamental position of the nation-state has turned this debate to a vital one. The collapse of the former USSR, the further establishment of the European Union, and the declaration ofwar on terror organizations, as opposed to sovereign states have all contributed to this ongoing debate. In respect to this reality, the question of how to educate the young citizens of the state emerges (Heater, 2004b). Although the question of what kind of citizen is promoted in this educational process is as old as the term citizen itself (Heater, 2004a), it is still cardinal specifically in the context of education for citizenship in a democratic state.  \nWhen engaging in the field of civic education one may be overwhelmed by the abundance of topics and issues that this field encompasses (Levstik & Tyson, 2008) . Numerous studies have attempted to bring some clarity to this convoluted field, based both on its theoretical aspects (Parker, 2008) and on the evaluation of empirical case studies (Westheimer & Kahne, 2004). The purpose of this study is to advance the discourse even further, by offering a new conceptual framework that concentrates on the different underlying conceptions influencing the ways we think and enact civic education process. Therefore, the main research question may be framed as what different conceptions of citizenship and civic education influence the contemporary discourse of this field? This question will be answered with the use of the methodology of ideal types. A new typology of the term civic education will be presented encompassing four conceptions of civic education: Liberal Civic Education; Diversity Civic Education; Critical Civic Education and Republican Civic Education. After describing these conceptions and the theoretical field on which they are based, the potential applications of these conceptions in the classrooms and in research will be presented.  \nCanadian Social Studies 44(1) Cohen  \nIn general, the common denominator across studies dealing with the field of civic education is the interest in examining what types of citizens the state wants to cultivate, and how to implement that concept within an educational framework (Parker, 2008) . National and crossnational studies have concentrated mainly on the tasks of stimulating civic engagement amongst the youth by the means of instilling democratic knowledge, values and beliefs (Hahn & AlviarMartin, 2008). Nevertheless, although all agree about the importance of this topic, in fact this field encompasses various ideological conceptions regarding citizenship in the democratic state, conceptions that produce significantly differing educational plans.  \nThis state of affa","cbCainKkbgWvGMEU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainKkbgWvGMEU","pdf",115066,12,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Methodology of Ideal Types\n## Four Conceptions of Civic Education\n## Classroom and Research Applications","[{\"question\":\"What is the central aim of the study on civic education?\",\"answer\":\"To bring clarity to civic education by examining how epistemological conceptions of citizenship and education influence what civic education looks like and how it is shaped.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study develop its typology of civic education?\",\"answer\":\"It uses the methodology of ideal types to present four conceptions: Liberal Civic Education, Diversity Civic Education, Critical Civic Education, and Republican Civic Education.\"},{\"question\":\"Where does the study suggest these conceptions can be applied?\",\"answer\":\"It presents potential applications of these conceptions in classrooms and in research after describing the conceptions and their underlying theoretical field.\"}]","Civic Education - A Theoretical Model of Four Conceptions of Civic Education | PDF",1792087102]
