WorldViews. The World in Textbooks

The diagram shows the results of a survey, which the European Commission published in April 2004. A survey on the Eurobarometer (public opinion in Europe) was conducted. The citizens of 15 EU-Member Nations were asked if in the near future they will feel only like Europeans, only like members of a nation state, like Europeans and members of a nation state or like members of a nation state and Europeans.The Diagram is a part of the image and text materials, which accompany the author’s text. With the provided supplemental sub-title National Identity and European Identity, the predication of the author’s text is illustrated.

The diegram is bound to the discussion section through a concrete question, which should motivate the students to independent reflection and collective discussion. Furthermore, the diagram offers the option to thematize questions of the interpretation of graphics and survey results during instruction. The content-related and graphic integration of the source, as well its placement, which is seen at first glance on the upper side, allots the diagram a singled-out prominence.
