Effects of Ability, Grade, and Gender on Three Measures of Citizenship with High School Students.

Sidelnick, Daniel J.

Social Studies, v80 n3 p92-97 May-Jun 1989

Investigates the differences in political attitudes among high school students of different ability and grade levels. Finds that low ability subjects are more dogmatic. Recommends the Value Analysis Model of instruction as a means of improving political attitudes and citizenship values. Suggests that overemphasis on basic knowledge objectives may contribute to students' negative attitudes. (KO)
