Resum

This chapter analyzes the knowledge, behaviors, attitudes and values of Spanish students in the last year of Elementary Education regarding citizenship and civility. The authors carried out quantitative research using an ex post facto and descriptive design and circumstantial non-probabilistic sampling. The technique was indirect, while the instrument was two questionnaires adapted from those used in the ICCS 2009 study. These questionnaires, which were originally intended for students in the 2nd year of Compulsory Secondary Education (14 years old students), were adapted to the 6th year of Elementary Education (11 years old). The sample analyzed was a hundred students from a state school in the Region of Murcia located. TSPSS V. 23 was used for the data analysis. The results show deficiencies in terms of knowledge in matters related to civic education and citizenship
