Geringe Literalitt und politische Grundbildung Die Bedeutung schriftsprachlicher Fhigkeiten fr die Selbsteinschtzung politischer Grundkompetenzen

摘要

Basic civic education is discussed as a substantial pillar in the discussionon basic education, although little is known about the basic civic skills of adultswith low literacy skills. In this article based on the results of LEO 2018 and withlogistic regression models, the thesis is examined that low-literate adults assess theirown civic skills as rather low and thus exclude themselves from the political field. Itis shown that even when controlling for various socio-economic factors, low-literateadults are more likely to assess their own competences as rather low.
