Character/Citizenship Education: Pilot Study.
Young, Brenda
To aid in the development of moral and ethical frames of reference necessary for citizenship in a democratic society, the booklet outlines 7 programs for K-6 students that present 19 concepts for affective education instruction in the areas of values, attitudes, and interests. Some of these include freedom, honesty, loyalty, responsibility, respect, and authority. Study of these concepts provides many opportunities for students to discuss abstract ethical issues, to observe individuals in law-related situations, to work with and evaluate laws and behaviors, and to pay particular attention to the consequences of those laws and behaviors. As components of the programs, character training and citizenship training complement each other to deal with ethics, morality, and values. Personal learning for this training is structured so children assimilate information and express their ideas. The seven programs are: Aware; Character Education; Education for Citizenship; Elementary Legal Framework; Jack and the Beanstalk; Law in a Free Society--Justice and Authority; and Developing Personal Values. Appendices include: an evaluation form with the survey results; objectives of each program; workshop agenda; list of program participants; a program comparison chart; and a 1986 program update. (TRS)
