The article addresses the position of political participation as a topic in the Slovenian education system and specifically within the compulsory basic school subject Patriotic and civic culture and ethics. It offers a critical reflection on the various theoretical contributions to the understanding of the role of citizenship education (especially within formal education) in delivering political literacy and knowledge to pupils about political participation. The article also presents how citizenship education is systematized within the Slovenian formal education system and reflects how political participation is addressed and presented in relevant documents, such as the White paper on education in the Republic of Slovenia. One of the findings is that the White paper not only expresses the need for strategic inclusion of political participation as a topic within education in general, but also identifies students' political literacy as an objective to change the widespread negative portrayal of the political that exists within Slovenian society. The article also analyses the knowledge of Year 9 Slovene basic school pupils on political participation. To this end, it interprets pupils' achievements (n = 3849) in selected questions from the National Assessment of Knowledge (NAK) in Patriotic and Citizenship Culture and Ethics subject. The NAK is a special assessment of knowledge procedure within the formal education system, in which all pupils (Year 6 and 9) in the country, on the same day, complete the same tests under the same conditions. Student achievement scores (n = 3849) for the questions covering the topic of political participation show that they are very familiar with the basic rules and norms of democratic participation, but they show less knowledge of the effects of participation in elections. The results also show that they are only partially aware or able to explain unconventional forms of political participation, but at the same time demonstrate the ability to plan a democratic decision-making process in a group such as the school classDržavljanska vzgoja je v času, ko je nezainteresiranost mladih za politiko stalen problem, pomemben okvir političnega opismenjevanja in spodbujanja politične participacije. Članek naslavlja položaj politične participacije v okviru državljanske vzgoje v slovenskem izobraževalnem sistemu in v okviru predmeta Domovinska in državljanska kultura in etika. V ta namen kritično reflektira različne teoretične prispevke k razumevanju vloge državljanske vzgoje (zlasti v okviru formalnega izobraževanja) pri zagotavljanju politične pismenosti in znanja učencev o politični participaciji. V prispevku je predstavljeno tudi umeščanje državljanske vzgoje v slovenskem formalnem izobraževalnem sistemu in kako je politična participacija obravnavana ter predstavljena v relevantnih dokumentih, kot je Bela knjiga o šolstvu v Republiki Sloveniji. Ena od ugotovitev je, da Bela knjiga ne izraža le potrebe po strateški vključitvi politične participacije kot teme v izobraževanje nasploh, ampak tudi opredeljuje politično pismenost študentov kot cilj za spreminjanje v slovenski družbi razširjene negativne podobe političnega. Prispevek prav tako analizira znanje slovenskih osnovnošolcev devetega razreda o politični participaciji. V ta namen motri dosežke učencev (n=3849) pri izbranih vprašanjih iz Nacionalnega preverjanja znanja (NPZ) iz predmeta o Domovinski in državljanski kulturi in etiki. NPZ je poseben postopek preverjanja znanja v okviru slovenskega formalnega izobraževalnega sistema, v katerem vsi učenci (6. in 9. razreda) v državi v istem dnevu pod enakimi pogoji opravljajo iste preizkuse. Dosežki učencev (n=3849) pri vprašanjih, ki so preverjala znanje glede tematike politične participacije, kažejo, da zelo dobro poznajo temeljna pravila in norme demokratične participacije, vendar izkazujejo slabše pozna-vanje učinkov sodelovanja na volitvah. Rezultati kažejo tudi, da le delno poznajo oziroma znajo razložiti nekonvencionalne oblike politične participacije, vendar hkrati izkazujejo sposobnost načrtovanja procesa demokratičnega odločanja v skupini, kot je šolski razredTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo raziskovalcev šolskega polja
