Özet: Abstract The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive framework for patterns of civic knowledge; attitudes toward democracy and citizenship; and the civic school environment of lower-secondary-school students by examining the case of a private school in Ankara from an international comparative perspective. The student questionnaire utilized in the IEA 1999 Study was adapted and used to collect data from a sample of 196 adolescents attending a private school. In general, Turkish students scored higher than the international mean in terms of civic knowledge related to political rights, the function of laws, free elections and gender discrimination. In addition, when compared to their international counterparts, the Turkish study group appeared to have a more conventional concept of citizenship, with a particularly strong emphasis on secularity.
