Chamberlin, Chuck
Canadian Social Studies, v27 n1 p30 Fall 1992
Argues that a social action model of citizenship education is mandated by two principles of democracy: consent of the governed and equal opportunity for participation in governance. Emphasizes the importance of a sense of political efficacy. Argues that wealthier children learn this at home, but children from poorer families need this experience at school. (DK)
