The power of civic educ. (CE) to elicit positive student outcomes has been documented. However, the field is only now beginning to understand the causal processes that bring about these positive changes in young people. ¿The Civic Mission of Schools¿ lays out 6 ¿promising approaches¿ to CE which emphasize the need for instruction that is relevant to young people, provides opportunities for practice, and moves beyond rote learning praxis. These approaches to CE yield positive, lasting outcomes in students. The goal of this project is to examine the association between activities regularly used in CE courses (e.g., staging a mock election) and their impact on key student outcomes. This will provide evidence supporting best practices in CE. Illus.

The power of civic education to elicit positive student outcomes has been empirically documented. However, the field is only now beginning to understand the causal processes that bring about these positive changes in young people. "The Civic Mission of Schools" report commissioned by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and CIRCLE (2003) lays out six "promising approaches" to civic education. These practices emphasize the need for instruction that is relevant to young people (i.e., links young people's interests to political contexts), provides opportunities for practice, and that moves beyond rote learning praxis. A growing body of evidence suggests that these approaches to civic education yield positive, lasting outcomes in young people. For example, research has found that deliberative classroom discussions are positively associated with interest in politics, political knowledge, and feelings of political efficacy. The goal of this project is to examine the association between activities regularly used in civic education courses (e.g., staging a mock election) and their impact on key student outcomes. By linking classroom praxis to outcomes, the authors intend to provide evidence supporting best practices in civic education. (Contains 5 figures and 7 tables.)

This collection of essays and references addresses the problem of the disengagement in public affairs and politics by U.S. youth and young adults. The collection brings together evidence of youth disengagement and reports on promising practices for civic education. Several chapters are devoted to research findings on the impact of service and service learning and to programs that connect service to politics and public life. Other chapters explore methods to counter cynicism and lack of information or misinformation about political processes and public officials. Essays in the collection are: (1) "Introduction to Education for Civic Engagement in Democracy" (John J. Patrick); (2) "Political Apathy and Avoidance of News Media among Generations X and Y: America's Continuing Problem" (Stephen Earl Bennett); (3) "Service Learning and Civic Education" (Richard M. Battistoni); (4) "Service Learning and Civic Education in the Schools: What Does Recent Research Tell Us?" (Mary A. Hepburn); (5) "Civic Education as a Craft, Not a Program" (Harry C. Boyte); (6) "Effects of Public Deliberation on High School Students: Bridging the Disconnection between Young People and Public Life" (Iara Peng); (7) "Education for Citizenship: Promising Effects of the 'Kids Voting USA' Curriculum" (Steven Chaffee); (8) "We the People . . . Project Citizen" (Herbert M. Atherton); (9) "Improving Civic Education: The Dirksen Congressional Center" (Frank H. Mackaman; Andrea Schade); (10) "The Public Service Academy" (John G. Stone III); (11) "Why Should the Young Desire a Career in Government or Consider Running for Office?" (Susan A. MacManus); and (12) "Building Trust in Representative Democracy" (Jan Goehring; Karl Kurtz; Alan Rosenthal).

Many American citizens have remained outside of the political process and therefore have not been able to effectively advocate for the full rights, privileges and responsibilities that American citizenship makes possible. For youth from historically marginalized populations who are growing up in lower-income urban areas, the issue becomes complicated by structural and social forces that impact the community and the schools. Although education may be a vehicle to provide young people with the requisite elements for civic engagement, questions abound as to what "type" of civic education curricula and instruction may be successful amidst the complex context of low-performing schools and urban communities. This dissertation investigated a classroom and curriculum in-use to better understand the contextual factors that inhibit or advance learning in this environment. The sample class, eighth grade students at an urban middle school, was observed as they engaged in a study of the citizen's role in the public policy making process using the Center for Civic Education's Project Citizen Curriculum. Following a qualitative case study model multiple methods of data collection were employed that allowed for the students' experiences to be explored in depth. Findings from this study provide educators and policy-makers with crucial insights to: curriculum materials and teaching strategies that the students related well to; promising practices to increase student performance; and a greater understanding of the students' knowledge and skills beyond what standardized test scores can reveal. The findings also challenge traditional notions of citizenship education and consider practices that may have specific relevance to historically marginalized populations.
