Publisher's Synopsis
Text in German. It is no longer possible to truly understand or shape politics without knowledge of the European Union. But what do German pupils learn about the European Union in school? This studys innovative approach connects two levels of empiric textbook research: on one level it examines how the European Union is portrayed in secondary school textbooks and on the other level it analyses how textbooks are used and assessed by teachers and pupils at comprehensive and grammar schools in Lower Saxony. The findings emphasise the relevance of textbooks for civics lessons and offer recommendations to solve existing problems.
