Development of Active Citizenship in School Environment. The paper outlines the issues of civic education within the context of contemporary European trends, educational initiatives & approaches to civic education. From this perspective, school curricular documents, their changes carried out during the political transformation of the Slovak society as well as students' achievements in the IEA Civic Education Study are analyzed & evaluated. The research is focused on studying how the school graduates of several generations reflect & evaluate the impact of school civic education & on identifying the potential stimuli & sources of active civic participation. The results show the minimal influence of school on the current civic attitudes of respondents regardless of their age. From among other possible sources of active citizenship investigated, it was the effect of membership in social organizations & in informal social structures that was assessed as the most significant.
