This report evaluates knowledge and attitudes of Connecticut students at nine, 13, and 17 years of age in the areas of citizenship and social studies. Phase I of test development was based on the National Assessment of Educational Progress model of testing at age level. The social studies skills and concepts of highest priority were developed by an advisory committee of Connecticut educators and were administered to 29 local school districts with 17,000 students participating. In addition to three objective tests, questionnaires were designed by grade level for local use in curriculum planning and evaluation. In the realm of local history students scored highest at the nine-year-old level while scores declined at the later age levels. In the areas of political science and knowledge of United States government all grade levels showed relatively low performance, while knowledge of the nature of conflict resolution was relatively high. Scores on citizenship remained constantly high, but performance on the role of political opposition was weak. Geography scores showed that students may be learning "place" geography rather than analytic/predictive skills. (MR) Aspect of National Assessment (NAEP) dealt with in this document: Procedures (Replication).
