Creating a Civic-Minded Political Culture: What Does the Civics NAEP Mean for Social Studies Education?
Ross, E. Wayne
Theory and Research in Social Education, v28 n1 p6-10 Win 2000
Questions the findings from the civics portion of the 1998 National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP). Instead of advocating a back-to-basics approach, believes that citizenship should be taught in ways that promote explorations of the social, political, and economic conditions in which the students live.
