Coming to Terms with Citizenship Education.
Metzger, Devon J.
Louisiana Social Studies Journal, v13 n1 p11-14 Fall 1986
Criticizes current citizenship education that often results in antidemocratic attitudes due to obvious conflicts between the classroom and society and a rigid socialization process discouraging critical examination, questioning, and participation by youth. Encourages an approach whereby students can effectively participate and feel confident they can make a difference in society. (TRS)
