This report summarizes the four major activities of the political learning project carried out at the Wisconsin Research and Development Center for Cognitive Learning. These four activities are (1) a survey of recent empirical work of the content, sequence, and causes of political concept and attitude development, (2) a pilot experiment with second- and fourth-grade children in which a number of basic political concepts, used by professional political scientists, are introduced earlier than is normal in the school curriculum, (3) a survey of pre- and post-adolescent political concept and attitude development focusing in particular upon aggregate age trends, parent-child correspondences, black/white comparison, and multivariate assessment of the relative impact of 11 causal factors, and (4) completion of data analysis on a project concerned with political learning in Grades 2-8.
