Given the increasing interest in academic citizenship in higher education, this study examines the civic purposes of higher education students in two European countries, namely the Netherlands and Finland, and relations between students’ worldviews and their civic purposes. The majority of students was categorized as so-called disengaged or dreamers, respectively either not civically interested or active or then visioning but not actualizing civic interests. Students with a purposeful profile referring to high civic interest, action, and identity, were most prevalent among Dutch students with a humanistic worldview and Finnish students reporting religions other than Christianity. Students from both countries not identifying with any organized worldviews were more likely to be allocated to the disengaged profile. Possible explanations for differences in student profiles are discussed.

鉴于高等教育中学术公民的兴趣日益浓厚，本研究考察了荷兰和芬兰这两个欧洲国家高等教育学生的公民目的，以及学生的世界观与其公民目的之间的关系。大多数学生被归类为所谓的脱离者或梦想家，分别是没有公民兴趣或积极主动，或有远见但没有实现公民利益。具有强烈公民兴趣、行动和身份的有目的的学生在具有人文主义世界观的荷兰学生和报告基督教以外宗教的芬兰学生中最为普遍。不认同任何有组织的世界观的两国学生更有可能被分配到不参与的群体。讨论了学生概况差异的可能解释。
