Living in a Democracy.
Shields, Patricia
Canadian Social Studies, v33 n1 p24 Fall 1998
Compares students' perceptions of democracy through two similar class activities presented in second- and twelfth-grade classes. Finds that both groups of students defined democracy within their own contexts and settings; one difference was that the older students' perceptions and the issues they dealt with were broader. (CMK)
