Sažetak
The aim of this study was to explore the predictive validity of a limited set of theoretically related constructs for pre-service teachers' behaviors directed towards the common good. These are operationalized as consensual peer-assessed, prosocial civic actions. The measured constructs included the self-assessed traits such as valor, bravery, courage, nonconformity, leadership, cooperation, and citizenship as well as individual differences in sensitivity to injustice. The study participants were 94 students in their third year of university teacher studies (age range: 20–24 years). The results of the multiple regression analysis point to the predictive importance of self-assessed bravery, sensitivity to befallen injustice from the observer perspective, and cooperativeness, explaining one-fifth of the variance of prosocial civic actions. Prosocial civic participation is considered to belong to the key competences for lifelong learning. Accordingly, the findings were interpreted in relation to the contemporary educational perspectives on civic education, social and civic responsibility, teacher pre-service and in-service education, and the empirically proven influence of teachers on their students' learning and the outcomes of that learning.
