| Summary: | It is well documented that individuals with higher levels of education tend to be more civically engaged. In a two-part study conducted for the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), the authors provided empirical evidence using 1988-2000 panel data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS) that civic engagement might also promote educational attainment: civically-engaged teenagers make greater scholastic progress during high school and subsequently acquire higher levels of education than their otherwise similar peers. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide highlights from the study. (Contains 6 footnotes and 2 tables.) [This fact sheet was produced by the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE). For full reports, see ED495238 (Part I) and ED495764 (Part II).] |
