| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to clarify the psychological impact of nuclear issues education on preadolescents in order to obtain data that might be useful in developing public policy concerning the role of nuclear issues education. Teachers presented "Choices," an educational unit on nuclear war and conflict, to sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students, and the effects of the unit on both teachers and students were evaluated with pre- and post-tests. "Choices" was developed to help students understand the power of nuclear weapons, the consequences of their use, and options available to resolve conflict among nations by methods other than nuclear war. The program's purpose is to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to understand that there are choices are available for achieving world peace. This paper describes the study's methods, procedures, and results. The findings indicated that use of "Choices" tended to reduce teachers and students' fears and sense of futurelessness and powerlessness and increase their optimism about the possibility of preventing nuclear war. Both students and teachers moved toward the political left in that they showed an increased understanding of other countries' viewpoints and favored a policy of freezing, reducing, or eliminating nuclear weapons. Fifty-five references are included. (Author/JHP) |
