Abstract:
|
This paper contributes to research efforts exploring the impact of varied civic education approaches on students. A one-credit course, designed as the intervention in a pre-experimental design, underscored the importance of collective political participation and attempted to strengthen the skills needed to engage in populist democratic politics. These included the communication skills of negotiation, compromise and persuasion. Findings from pre and post semester questionnaires indicate the course had limited effects on students’ sense of political efficacy. Yet they also reveal subtle aggregate improvements in self perceived political skills and in projected likelihood of participating in political activities. Meanwhile, post semester focus groups helped to identify opportunities for improving the curriculum in future course offerings. |
