Der Beitrag beschreibt die Lernstrategie des effektiven zivil(gesellschaftlich)en Lernens, bei der auf das Konzept des "zivilen Handelns" (civic doing bzw. experiential civic learning) reflektiert wird, welches auf John Dewey zurückgeht. Schon vor mehr als siebzig Jahren kritisierte John Dewey den traditionellen Frontalunterricht als undemokratische und hierarchisch strukturierte Lehrform, die Lernprozesse und alltägliche Lebenserfahrungen voneinander trennt. Das Konzept des "experiential civic learning" verstand und versteht sich als eine pädagogische Lernstrategie, die Kindern und Jugendlichen an Hand konkreter partizipatorischer Erfahrungen in schulischen und außerschulischen Kontexten Kompetenzen zum demokratischen und zivilgesellschaftlichen Handeln zu vermitteln sucht. Der Autor rekonstruiert die einzelnen Komponenten dieses Konzepts. (ICA).;;;This paper wants to make the case for a learning strategy of effective civic learning by reflective civic doing (a concept known as experiential civic learning), by summarizing the rationale and the urgent need for this learning strategy, and by pointing out some of its core elements to make experiential civic learning perhaps more convincing and usable in educational practice.

Three predominant forms of school-based service programs are community service, service-learning, and service-based internship programs. Although distinct on several dimensions, all three types use service as the primary means to engage students in experiential learning activities. The study described in this paper investigated how these three forms of school-sponsored service programs affect students' educational development. (DIPF/orig.).

The reasons for introducing education for citizenship in England in 2002 were both political and educational. They were political because there was concern about the state of democracy, public order and the quality of community life, which led to a call for civil renewal. ... [The Crick Report] proposed that young people should develop their social and civic skills through active engagement in the life of their school and its wider communities. In other words citizenship education was explicitly intended to promote experiential and community-based learning. It further set out to foster young people's active and democratic involvement in the life of their schools. ... The consequence of the development was to bring together ... the English tradition of community volunteering with the pedagogical principles of reformist pedagogues. (DIPF/orig.).
