“…Inadequate preparation (of the instructor and/or student groups) could allow such particular viewpoints to reinforce the status quo and silence some students who do not share those perspectives (Kester et al 2022). Thus, creating safe spaces for contentious, yet constructive, conversations is critical (Wansink et al 2023). Developing these social norms with students and having continuous check-in points throughout the course can contribute to deeper and safer discussions.…”

This study examines the impact of students’ identities on how students participate in classroom discussions in postsecondary courses. Participation in such discussions is known to increase students’ learning, but, despite this, little is known about how students’ identities influence how and whether they choose to participate. Drawn from a larger study on the experiences of postsecondary instructors and students, this article focuses on students’ perspectives and experiences. Survey data were collected from undergraduate students enrolled in an interdisciplinary undergraduate program. Students’ race, religion, gender, and their first- or continuing-generation university status were found to have varying influences on their participation in classroom discussions. Most students with marginalized identities opted out of actively participating in discussions about contentious or sociopolitical topics. This study suggests that inclusive approaches to classroom discussion can be useful in promoting students’ engagement and academic learning.

“…Wenn starke Meinungsäußerungen aus der Sicht von Jugendlichen gefährlich wirken, so könnte sich dies negativ auf die Beteiligung in diskursiven Prozessen auswirken. Ein Gefühl der Unsicherheit und der Glaube, eine abweichende Meinung zu vertreten, stehen in einem negativen Zusammenhang zu der Beteiligung an politischen Diskussionen (Matthes et al, 2018;Wansink et al, 2023). Zusätzlich sieht etwa die Hälfte der jungen Menschen sich selbst als diskriminierte Gruppe.…”

ICCS (International Civic and Citizenship Education Study) ist die einzige international vergleichende Studie zur politischen Bildung, die neben Einstellungen und Partizipationsabsichten auch politisches Wissen erfasst und zugleich politisches Lernen und Sozialisationsprozesse an Schulen in den Blick nimmt. ICCS 2022 eröffnet einen analytischen Beitrag, der hellhörig werden lässt für die Leistungsfähigkeit des Schulsystems, Schüler*innen bei der Entwicklung ihrer Rolle als Bürger*innen zu unterstützen. 24 Bildungssysteme haben weltweit an ICCS 2022 teilgenommen, darunter 21 aus Europa. Auch zwei deutsche Bundesländer, Nordrhein-Westfalen und Schleswig-Holstein, waren mit jeweils repräsentativen Stichproben an ICCS 2022 beteiligt. Die Leitung der Studie lag in Deutschland bei der Universität Duisburg Essen (Prof. Hermann Josef Abs) und bei der Universität Leipzig (Prof. Katrin Hahn-Laudenberg).

“…The researcher monitors the process of group project creation After completing the core activity, the researcher engages in a closing activity by expressing appreciation to the students, informing them about the next meeting, which involves presenting the projects they have created and conducting a class evaluation, which includes disposing of trash in the designated bins. In PBL, the ultimate goal is the completion of a project with the application of previously acquired knowledge, making PBL highly relevant for implementation in middle school education (Gomez-del Rio & Rodriguez, 2022). Using the advancement of technology, innovation, and updates continue to occur.…”

“…To fully benefit from classroom discussions, however, students will be able to participate by sharing their views and by open-mindedly listening to the perspectives of others. (Gert-Jan Wansink et al, 2023). More than ever, students must be prepared to generate compelling, profound changes in their professional and personal environments, locally and globally within discussion and participating in their projects.…”

Implementation of Project-Based Learning Styles and Multiple Learning Objects to Promote the Pancasila Student Profile. Objective: The objective of this study is to illustrate the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) based-on learning styles and multiple learning objects (MLO) to promote the Pancasila student profile. Methods: This quantitative study employs a descriptive research design involving 7th-grade students at SMPN 51 Palembang as the subjects. Data collection involves interviews, questionnaires, observations, and documentation. Descriptive statistical techniques are utilized for data analysis, while qualitative data is quantitatively analyzed. Findings: It was found that implementing learning in accordance with the PBL syntax using various learning media as MLO designed to match learning styles can stimulate the emergence of the six characters within the Pancasila student profile. Conclusion: The utilization of the PBL model aligned with learning styles and MLO can effectively foster the development of the Pancasila student profile.
