| Abstract | Researchers have been studying children's knowledge, thinking, and attitudes about government for several decades. However, the studies focusing on elementary students, and especially primary students, have little or nothing to say about children's ideas about democracy or democratic government. That is because children at these ages have not yet accumulated a sufficient critical mass of cognitive abilities and political knowledge to enable them to understand and reply coherently to questions such as, "What is democracy?" or "How does the form of government (democratic republic) compare with other forms?" In this article, the authors describe some of the challenges teachers face in teaching government in a democratic society, identify some of the building blocks that are in place, and suggest some curriculum-based opportunities for socializing students' understandings and attitudes about democracy. (Contains 5 notes.) (ERIC). |
