Abstract

Persistent gender inequalities in internal political efficacy have traditionally been attributed to gender differences in resources. This article complements the resource model by focusing on how gendered political socialization occurs during citizenship education and how citizenship education might mitigate, reproduce, or intensify inequalities. Based on multilevel models on a 2016 survey dataset (3898 students across 150 schools) of Belgian senior high school students, we show that citizenship education increases internal political efficacy for both male and female students. However, we also find that citizenship education intensifies inequalities since male students gain more from it than female students, especially in schools with a conservative gender role culture. Our results indicate that the influence of citizenship education depends on the gendered school context in which it is offered. In this respect, citizenship education risks intensifying rather than mitigating gender inequalities.

加剧性别不平等：为什么比利时女学生（有时）从公民教育中获得的内部政治效能低于男学生？

在内部政治效能方面持续存在的性别不平等历来被归因于资源方面的性别差异。本文通过关注公民教育过程中性别政治社会化是如何发生的，以及公民教育可能如何缓解、复制或加剧不平等，对资源模型进行了补充。基于 2016 年比利时高中生调查数据集（150 所学校的 3898 名学生）的多层次模型，我们表明，公民意识教育提高了男女学生的内部政治效能。然而，我们也发现，公民教育加剧了不平等，因为男生从公民教育中获得的好处比女生多，尤其是在性别角色文化保守的学校。我们的研究结果表明，公民意识教育的影响取决于提供公民意识教育的学校的性别背景。在这方面，公民教育有可能加剧而不是缓解性别不平等。
