| Summary: | In order to understand the mechanisms of the socializing processes associated with citizenship development in the United States, it is necessary to study the interactions of ideology, education, and cultural pluralism as they are manifested in educational programs and in the processes of child development. The means and methods for understanding these complex social phenomena consist of exploratory research approaches. The main goal of this inquiry was to explore the current status of citizenship education and to come to an understanding of the dynamic social processes that influence its development. The study explored the opinions and practices of students who were about to be graduated from high schools in four different geographic areas of the United States. Student responses to questions four through seven are reported and discussed, and a statistical analysis of student responses to each overall question is made. Forty recommendations are made on how citizenship education may be improved. A 17-item bibliography concludes the document. (DB) |
