Citizenship In Schools: A mounting number of reports and articles have appeared in professional journals and popular magazines since 1950. Important among these have been the yearbooks of influential societies, such as the National Council for the Social Studies' Education for Democratic citizenship in schools in 1951 and the American Association of School Administrators' Education for American citizenship in schools in 1954. Pamphlets, teaching aids, and units were sponsored by such diverse groups as the National Association of Manufacturers, the American Legion, the Tufts citizenship in schools Center, and the National Education Association. In 1954 the citizenship in schools Education Project, sponsored by Columbia University Teachers College and the Carnegie Fund, involved about 1,500 secondary schools throughout the United States in a program of citizenship in schools education practices in schools and communities. Its publications provided a great deal of tested information on civic laboratory practices.citizenship in schools EDUCATION consists of the formal and informal methods by which citizens are enabled to understand and contribute to the effective working of their society. All nations are their schools to promote effective citizenship in schools. The schools attempt to develop young persons who have the necessary knowledge and understanding and who hold the values and ideals that will lead them to satisfying and competent roles as citizens of the state. Central to such education is the furthering of the nationalistic and patriotic goals of the society. This is true in closed societies as well as in democracies.
citizenship in schools education has come to mean much more than the teaching of the facts of governmental structure and function, and in a broad sense the promotion of good citizenship in schools can be considered the major and all-pervading purpose of education. In a free society, schools have a particularly heavy responsibility. They must teach the student to understand and believe in democracy as a living, changing process rather than as a set of rigid beliefs to be memorized without question. |
