Abstract

Purpose: The objective of the present article is to analyze citizenship education in Iran’s curricula with an emphasis on the components of citizenship education.

Methods and Materials: This article is applied in nature and has been conducted using a qualitative meta-analysis method. The statistical population of this study includes all research sources related to the field of citizenship education within scientific databases over the past 23 years, encompassing a total of 178 domestic articles. The sample was selected purposefully in two stages. In the first stage, with the aim of examining the overall outcome of citizenship education in curricula, 48 articles were selected; in the second stage, to focus specifically on the components of citizenship, 20 articles were chosen.

Results: The findings indicated that citizenship education in Iran’s curricula is not in a desirable state and that over the years, there has been no serious attention to citizenship education. Moreover, the high dispersion of citizenship education components indicates a lack of consensus among researchers.

Conclusion: The results of this meta-analysis reveal a serious challenge for citizenship education within Iran’s curricular frameworks.
