Civic Education
Civic Education is an important component of education that cultivates

citizens to participate in the public life of a democracy, to use their rights
and to discharge their responsibilities with the necessary knowledge and
skills. American schools have advanced a distinctively civic mission since
the earliest days of this Republic. It was immediately recognized that a free
society must ultimately depend on its citizens, and that the way to infuse the
people with the necessary qualities is through education. As one step of this
education process, higher education has been assuming the mission to foster
citizens with the spirit to lead. The literature on this contribution, and civic
education in general, is characterized by its broad time range, its
composition of diverse voices from all kinds of participating social units
(from individual to government), and the existence of rich international and
comparative studies.1

Selected Annotations
Beaumont, E., Colby, A., Ehrlich, T., & Stevens, J. (2003). Educating citizens: Preparing
America's undergraduates for lives of moral and civic responsibility. San
Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
Reports on how some American colleges and universities are preparing thoughtful,
committed, and socially responsible graduates. Many institutions assert these ambitions,
but too few act on them. The authors demonstrate the fundamental importance of moral
and civic education, describe how the historical and contemporary landscapes of higher
education have shaped it, and explain the educational and developmental goals and
processes involved in educating citizens. They examine the challenges colleges and
universities face when they dedicate themselves to this vital task and present concrete
ways to overcome those challenges.
Bergerson, P. J. (1991). Teaching public policy: Theory, research, and practice. New
York: Greenwood Press.
This book explores a wide range of topics in policy theory research and public
administration education. The essays are grouped into seven categories, covering
organizational theory and ethics, research skills, program evaluation and management,
financial management, communication skills, international developments, and
contemporary policy issues. In addition to their academic quality, each contribution
emphasizes successful strategies for teaching in the classroom.

Bringle, R. G., R. Games, et al. (1999). Colleges and universities as citizens. Boston,
Allyn and Bacon.
Readers are presented with a vision for higher education in the 21st century through the
concept of colleges and universities as citizens. The authors continue the discussion of
Ernest Boyer's vision of the engaged campus," illustrating the rewards and risks and
providing a critical examination of the implications of engagement on the various
institutions of higher education. Each chapter discusses the status of higher education, the
factors that have shaped its current status, and the steps that could be taken to produce
change. The authors provide informative historical analyses, case studies, and conceptual
frameworks through which planning and work can be construed and evaluated.

Guarasci, R., & Cornwell, G. H. (1997). Democratic education in an age of difference:
redefining citizenship in higher education (1st ed.). San Francisco: Jossey-Bass
Publishers.
More than a century ago, John Dewey challenged the education community to look to
civic involvement for the betterment of both community and campus. Today, the
challenge remains. In this landmark book, editor Thomas Ehrlich has collected essays
from national leaders who have focused on civic responsibility and higher education.
Imparting both philosophy and working example, Ehrlich provides the inspiration for
innovative new programs in this essential area of learning. Explains the theory and
practice of civic learning and provides practical examples of programs that prepare
students for lives of civic engagement.

Over the past two decades, American campuses have become embroiled in debates and
controversies over multiculturalism, curriculum, free speech, and other issues of social,
ethnic, sexual, and racial differences. But out of this turbulence some exciting, innovative
experiments have emerged to show students and academic leaders that there are
promising maps for bridging acknowledged differences and creating a dynamic new unity
behind the principles of democracy. Democratic Education in an Age of Difference
details some of those experiments - among them learning communities, residential
communities, and public service - and reveals how each approach fosters the
development of democratic sensibility, citizenship skills, and multicultural fluency.

Lisman, C. D. (1998). Toward a civil society: civic literacy and service learning.
Westport, Conn: Bergin & Garvey.
Addressing the need for marshalling the resources of education to help promote a more
civil society, this book argues that education has a critical role to play in challenging the
dominant views of politics and education. Service-learning, or academically-based
community service is seen as a promising educational pedagogy that can help students
acquire civic virtue and serve as a mechanism to enable institutions of higher education
become stronger community partners. However, there is currently a lack of theoretical
grounding for the service-learning movement; consequently, service-learning is in danger
of being co-opted by academic traditionalism, which could vitiate service-learning's
social transformative potential and in fact undermine efforts at democratic revitalization.

Macedo, S. (2000). Diversity and distrust: civic education in a multicultural democracy.

Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press.
Stephen Macedo believes that diversity should-but not always-be highly valued. We must
remember, he insists, that many forms of social and religious diversity are at odds with
basic commitments to liberty, equality, and civic flourishing. Liberalism has an important
but neglected civic dimension, he argues, and liberal democrats must take care to
promote not only well-ordered institutions but also well-ordered citizens. Macedo shows
that this responsibility is incompatible with a neutral or hands-off stance toward diversity
in general or toward the education of children in particular. Extending the ideas of John
Rawls, he defends a "civic liberalism" that supports the legitimacy of reasonable efforts
to inculcate shared political virtues while leaving many larger questions of meaning and
value to private communities. Macedo's tough-minded liberal agenda for civic education
offers a fundamental challenge to free market libertarians, the religious right, parental
rights activists, postmodernists, and many of those who call themselves multiculturalists.

This book is a collection of essays on political education for democratic citizenship in
higher education developed out of meetings over 5 years of a small group of faculty,
administrators and students who gathered to discuss the way academia was educating
young people for political responsibility. Following a foreword and an introduction by

Orrill, R., & College Entrance Examination Board. (1997). Education and democracy:
Re-imagining liberal learning in America. New York: College Entrance

Liberal education has long been associated with a focus on so-called "great books" drawn
largely from the European past. In sharp contrast, this collection of essays explores the
theory and practice of contemporary liberal education from the perspective of a
distinctively American pragmatic tradition. The result is a re-imagined liberal education
adapted to the needs of American democracy in the twenty-first century.

This book addresses the challenge of education for citizenship at a specific, concrete
level. It offers examples of efforts to create among our students a new set of what
Tocqueville called mores or culturally defining "habits of the heart" which will enhance
citizenship, foster a sense of connectedness to a community stretching beyond the
university, and ultimately, support the practices, basic values, and institutions necessary
for the democratic process.

considers the detached, rational observer the highest judge of truth, thus contributing to

framework has grown out of CRF's recognition that service by itself does not constitute
effective education for citizenship and must be integrated with structured, interactive
classroom instruction. It encompasses five segments: community assessment,
policymaking, policy analysis, citizen options, and citizen action. It has been utilized by
CRF to develop specific programs: Project ACT, City Youth, and Youth Task Force.
Essential methodological and content driven components in this civic participation model
include skill building, interactive learning strategies, use of community resources, and
policy focus. Civic participation may attract challenges because it requires changes in
how teachers teach, how students learn, and the relationship between the classroom
teacher and the community.

Innovative approaches to values/ethics education in higher education suggest renewed

commitment to human values. Two models of values education are values-across-the-
curriculum, which assumes that values education is a responsibility for the institution's
education programs as a whole; and civic education, built on a conception of the habits
required for democratic citizenship.

In the 1900s, emphasis on specialization, technical studies, and vocation that has
undermined liberal education generally has taken a particular toll on civic education,
departing from the ideal of education for the public interest. The college curriculum can
incorporate education for participation in government in a variety of ways.

developed by the Community College of Aurora. It is believed that such programs can
assist in significantly extending the role of education in community development. As part
of the program, the college operates the Lowry Family Center, which provides referral
services for families in need and workshops on such topics as parenting, GED
preparation, youth enrichment, and literacy. A Center for Workforce Development is also
managed by the college for people in need, and it provides courses in metrology and
biotechnology and courses for single mothers in nontraditional careers. The introduction
of a leadership and citizenship education program for local residents is an additional
element of the program.

In this interview, Barber explains the motivations and arguments in his book "An
Aristocracy for Everyone." He describes the tension between himself and authors like
Allan Bloom, who argue that American is best served by an educated elite. Barber argues
that all should be educated for productive citizenship and that we should use our diversity
to tell a common story of American history.

The Close Up Foundation takes the science of the government out of the textbook and
into the classroom using hands-on approaches. The Close Up Foundation was established
to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes that encourage greater civic participation by
exposing people of all ages to the political process, basic democratic principles, and
history. The foundation emphasizes a diversity of participants, active learning, a balance
of perspectives, and cooperative learning structures. The foundation's approach is
successful mainly because it involves students in hands-on learning, whereby they, like
the participants in a democracy, often decide upon the agenda. A textbook is not required
to develop many civic skills in the classroom, and teachers of civic education should
encourage students to become involved with the citizens and institutions of their
democracy. This article is part of a special section on Catholic education as the route to
freedom.

Morrison, T. (2001). How can values be taught in the university?. with discussion.
Michigan Quarterly Review, 40, 273-278.
The role of the university in teaching values is the focal point of this article. Morrison
points out that although the genesis of higher education is unashamedly theological and
conscientiously value-ridden, the academy has, for the most part, shed its theological
coat. She also points out, however, that the real or imagined search for "goodness"
continues to be a part of the justifying, legitimizing language of the academy. She
maintains that institutional directives relating to ethical questions, although capable of
impressing on the student body the serious way in which the university regards certain
matters, can also become formulaic. Also she suggests that, ultimately, individuals are
paradigms of their own values and teach them by having them. Nevertheless, she
acknowledges that if the university does not take seriously its roles as defender of civic
freedoms and interrogator of ethical problems, some other regime or ménage of regimes
may decide these issues without consulting those involved.

Neiman, A. M. (1997). Pragmatism, Thomism, and the Metaphysics of Desire: Two Rival
Versions of Liberal Education. Educational Theory, 47(NO.1), 91-117.
Nieman reviews the theories proposed by authors such as Allan Bloom, Benjamin Barber,
and Rene Arcilla. Bloom argues for a model of education that uses the Platonic definition
of learning: the pursuit of truth through reason, capable by only highly intelligent
individuals. This pursuit satisfies "metaphysical longing for answers to questions like
"Why are we here?" Barber believes that this account of education is incorrect and that
higher education should concentrate on teaching democracy, liberty, and freedom. This is
a pragmatic approach, redirecting metaphysical longing to a longing for community and
the way to ensure survival of community. Barber believes universities should become
dedicated to civic virtue rather than the pursuit of truth, both serving and challenging
students. Nieman believes a more middle approach, Thomism, should be used to combine
metaphysical questions with more pragmatic implications. This avoids the authoritarian
nature of Bloom while compensating for lack of individualistic concerns in Barber.

Oldenquist, A. (Ed.). (1996). Can Democracy Be Taught? Bloomington, IN: Phi Delta
Kappa Educational Foundation, Bloomington IN.
The essays in this collection, rewritten and expanded especially for this volume,
originated as papers that were presented at a 1993 conference on Education for
Democracy sponsored by the Mershon Center at The Ohio State University. The
contributors from the United States, South Africa, Germany, and Russia, are experts in
civic education, problems of minorities, the U.S. Constitution, the transition to
democracy in former communist countries, and education and democracy in South Africa
and Japan. All of the essays are concerned with aspects of the ideal of democracy: what it
is, how it evolves, and the goals of democracy yet to be achieved. It is implied in each
essay that democracy has a concrete definition with a range of features, and that despite
the imprimatur of "democracy" applied by a government, not all governments claiming to
be democracies are true and genuine democracies. Moreover, there is a distinct difference

18
between education for democracy and democracy education. After an introduction, the
book is divided into three parts: "Part I: The New Demography" contains four essays that
look at pluralism, diversity, multiculturalism, and the democratic education of
disadvantaged children. The two essays in "Part II: Constitutional Imperatives" are about
constitutionalism in education for democracy and the power of comparison in teaching
about democracy. "Part III: Other Societies, Other Problems" contains four essays
discussing education for democracy in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Japan, Asia,
and South Africa.

The writers examine both civic and academic outcomes for 260 students participating in
three models of service learning courses (placement-service optional, placement-service
required, and a consulting group). Findings suggest that that after one semester of service
learning, student outcomes were mixed. A key recommendation is that instructors
consider carefully whether to require student participation in service learning.

three-sector society. National Civic Review, 87, 177-181.
The writer discusses the importance of preparing students for a three-sector society in the
21st century. He argues that society is being transformed by a shift from the Industrial
Age to the Information Age and that preparing the next generation for this change
necessitates a rethink of the very purpose of American education. Thinking of society as
creating three types of capital--social capital, market capital, and public capital--opens up
new possibilities for reconceptualizing the social contract and the type of education that
is given to young people. Furthermore, the third sector, civil society, is likely to play a far
more significant role in job creation and social-service provision in the next century.

The writers discuss the historical background of the metropolitan university and the
changes in community, technology, and society related to its mission, goals, and

19
partnerships. Although the basic model of metropolitan universities dates to the eighth
and ninth centuries, it was not until the 1800s that the developing model of the
metropolitan university became apparent. After World War II, this type of university
attained a broadened scope to accommodate a wide range of intellectual activities and
priorities. In the future, the comprehensive metropolitan university must focus the
institution on meeting its constituents' evolving demands and community needs and on
providing its diverse clientele with postsecondary education, thereby maximizing their
potential for occupational success, civic leadership, and general well-being. This article is
part of a special issue on the opportunities and challenges involved in serving students at
metropolitan universities.

In a speech delivered at the inauguration of the Civitas international civic education

movement in Prague in 1995, the writer discusses the role that formal education can play
in developing democratic citizenship. The writer discusses three challenges that the
American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has faced in promoting education for democracy
in the U.S. and that may apply to other countries: the accusation that education for
democracy is a form of indoctrination, the claim that the teaching of critical thinking
skills and little else is what matters in teaching democratic citizenship, and the espousal
of multiculturalism. He also discusses AFT's concerns about threats to democracy, the
convictions upon which educating about democracy should be based, and the importance
of cherishing democracy.

This article is part of a special section on globalization and education. Universities face
several challenges in the 21st century. Universities must meet the challenge of serving a
civic purpose in the context of a rapidly changing environment. They must also realize
that their historic monopoly over the provision, accreditation, and certification of higher
education will attenuate as new competitors enter the educational services marketplace
and that they will neither monopolize nor dominate electronic education. In this regard,
they must face the challenge of finding common ground on which to work with their
competitors. Universities must meet other challenges of expansion and differentiation and

20
must fulfill their obligation to engage the ideas, issues, and policies that connect them to
the interests of others.

through the twentieth century. He also examines the objectives of historians, sociologists,

studies may be because of those goals' inconsistency with patriotic indoctrination.

This is a condensed article from the March 2002 issue of Leadership for Student
Activities. The writer indicates that student governments are untapped opportunities for
active civic engagement. Too many student governments have limited agendas that
neglect the wider civic responsibilities of their role. In some cases, student governments
have the opportunity to address the issues of the school community but fail because they
are not taught the skills and habits that are required for their success. In others,
administrators do not trust students to make important decisions and so do not support
effective student government. To be successful, a student government needs a dedicated
adviser, the support of the principal, and immense time and energy. Advice is provided
on setting up a strong student government.

Torres, C. A. (2002). Globalization, education, and citizenship: solidarity versus markets?

American Educational Research Journal, 39, 363-378.
This article suggests that globalization places limits on state autonomy and national
sovereignty, affecting education in various ways. Those limits are expressed in tensions
between global and local dynamics in virtually every policy domain. Globalization not
only blurs national boundaries but also shifts solidarities within and outside the national
state. Globalization cannot be defined exclusively by the post-Fordist organization of
production: therefore, issues of human rights will play a major role affecting civic
minimums at the state level, the performance of capital and labor in various domains, and
particularly the dynamics of citizenship and democracy in the modern state. However,
educational policy and its contributions to citizenship, democracy, and multiculturalism
will face unprecedented challenges if the logic of fear, exacerbated by the events of
September 11, prevails.

Bellefleur, J. R. (1981). Higher Education for the Many: The Realization and Abridgment
of Extended Educational Access, in Detroit and at Wayne University, 1917-1961.
(Volumes I and Ii).
This study completes the history of a major, Midwestern, publicly-supported urban

university. It concerns the period between the World Wars when Wayne University, in
Detroit, was an open enrollment institution. In an urbanized America, where colleges and
universities are serving an increasingly heterogeneous student population, the
implications of this study have significance for educators concerned with future college
enrollments. The author suggests that much of the responsibility for the development of
inclusive higher education in Detroit lies within its unique nineteenth century population.
Beginning with a mix of parlor-cultured French Canadians and enlightenment-seeking
"Bostonians," Detroit was enriched by waves of emigrant groups who found survival and
satisfactions there, and who took, via its developing institutions, their first steps toward
cultural assimilation.

Fernandez, L. O. (1997). Preparing Students for Citizenship: The Pedagogical Vision of

Yale's Noah Porter, Harvard's Charles Eliot and Princeton's Woodrow Wilson
(Civic Education, Republicanism).
The dissertation examines the historic role of elite higher education in preparing students
for active participation in political life. It does this by examining the pedagogical visions
and curricular commitments of Noah Porter (president of Yale from 1871 to 1886),
Charles Eliot (president of Harvard from 1869 to 1909) and Woodrow Wilson (president
of Princeton from 1902 to 1910). Educational historians have usually cast Eliot as the
progressive force in American higher education while painting Porter and Wilson in
diminished or even contrary roles. This dissertation does not take issue with the basic
thrust of this history, it focuses on deficiencies in all three of these educators' approaches
that served to compromise their commitment to strong civic education. These educators
compromised, or threatened to compromise, civic education because they ascribed to
ideals and practices which are often at odds with the development of citizenship. The
determination of these educators' civic commitments is circumscribed by the
dissertation's exclusive focus on a republican definition of citizenship. Republicans
equate citizenship with participation in political life and are consequently threatened by
rhetorical and economic practices which appear to discourage political participation..
Eliot's civic commitments were compromised by rhetorical and economic proclivities that

28
were closely tied to his strong sympathies for professionalization. Porter's were
threatened by an attraction to cloistered living and by archaic pedagogies. Of the three,
Wilson displayed the most abiding civic commitments. But even Wilson's civic
commitments were ultimately compromised by his attraction to elite forms of education.

The aspects of educational institutions and the systemic practice of education are the
product of 2 distinct features of education. The first is the institutional practice of a
chosen philosophy of education. The second is the technologies that have afforded the
facilitation of information production, consumption and distribution-essential processes
of education. Taking advantage of major reform opportunities in educational practice,
made possible by an emerging digital information system, the current trend in education
tends to relinquish the long tradition of philosophy of education and embraces the
cultivation of a reflective and productive citizenry through education. However, by
looking at the ways in which the technologies of their time constrained or enabled the
imaginations of our most influential philosophers of education (Plato, Rousseau and
Dewey), we will better understand how real technologies and ideal philosophies are
necessarily related. With such knowledge, we may inform our educational reform
alternatives with the goal of developing a democratic citizenry through education.

This report addresses civic knowledge, skills, and the disposition to use them to achieve a
vision of the community that is desired. These faculties can be furthered through
purposefully structured civic education. The integral elements of adult civic education are
information, values, and action. An objective in adult civic education should be to help
citizens learn how to use the aid of experts and qualified professionals in making public
policy decisions while limiting it to citizen review and control. Another problem for adult
civic education is to help learners develop civic virtue as a basis for acting when their
involvement in a public issue in the first place is often driven by emotional investment in
a special interest, deflecting attention from a larger view of public responsibilities. The
ultimate objective of civic education is to help citizens learn to be morally responsible
actors. Adult educators have responsibility to serve as advocates, not of specific choices
or solutions to public issues, but of thoughtful and deliberate choice that is a prelude to
action.

Boyer, E. L., & Hechinger, F. M. (1981). Higher Learning in the Nation's Service: A
Carnegie Foundation Essay. Princeton, NJ: Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching.
This report examines the services that have been provided by colleges and universities in
the United States and the current confusion regarding the role of American higher
education. Among the contributions made by higher education are: extending higher
learning to new classes of people, advancing the nation's frontiers, providing scientific
expertise during wartime, and helping veterans return to rewarding civilian pursuits.
Presently, the external needs for higher learning's services are apparently less urgent than
in the past and colleges are questioning their purposes in society. Three historic functions
of higher education are examined: teaching, research, and service. It is suggested that
there are new challenges for higher education. Colleges must not only teach, but must
also educate a generation of students quite different from those of the past. Not only must
they conduct research, but they must do so with reduced federal support and must
consider enticing but potentially compromising allegiances with the private sector. As a
new approach to service, public policy studies for all students are advocated, with special
encouragement for a new program of civic education for adults. The writers propose that

32
colleges and universities help students and teachers use knowledge wisely so that higher
education's dual role as servant and critic of society may be protected and advanced.

citizens hold in common. This core of shared beliefs would then be supported by
differing groups whose values are grounded in their own particular theology, moral law,
or natural law without imposing those grounds of faith or belief on others, especially not
through a powerful centralized government. This report illustrates that the theme of
citizenship could become a binding and revivifying element in a common core of studies,
giving a scholarly foundation to moral and civic education and providing a common
ground for the pluralistic society that has contributed to the unique fabric of life.

This evaluation report documents the CIVITAS program's progress toward its five stated
goals: (1) acquaint educators from Eastern and Central Europe with exemplary curricular
and teacher training programs in civic education developed in the United States; (2) assist
educators from Eastern and Central Europe in adapting and implementing effective civic
education programs in their own countries; (3) create instructional materials for students
in the United States that will help them better understand emerging constitutional
democracies; (4) facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences in civic education
among political, educational, and private sector leaders from Eastern and Central Europe,
the United States, and other established democracies; and (5) encourage research to
determine the effects of civic education on the development of knowledge, skills, and
traits of public and private character essential for the preservation and improvement of
constitutional democracy. The report states that U.S. partners and people from Eastern
and Central Europe were asked to respond to questionnaires eliciting both numerical and
narrative data regarding their progress toward meeting these goals. Questionnaires were
mailed in July and October of 1998 to 12 European partners and 16 U. S. partners. Six
European partners and nine U. S. partners responded. According to the report, responses
from both U.S. and European partners clearly indicated that at these partnership sites at
least four of the five goals are being achieved. The only goal not yet being achieved, by
all but one site, is conducting research to determine the impact of civic education and the
development of knowledge skills and traits essential for the improvement of
constitutional democracy.

that works in Latin America and the Caribbean to promote equitable, participatory, and
sustainable development by making grants directly to local organizations. This 30th
anniversary report summarizes activities of the IAF in fiscal year 1999 while reflecting
on long-term accomplishments. Building on its 30-year grassroots tradition, the IAF
continued its two-part strategy to support participatory local development and promote
social investment by the private sector. In FY99, the IAF approved 100 new and 19
supplemental grants, totaling about $22.1 million. The grants went to organizations in 16
countries and were distributed among five program areas: agriculture and food
production (37.1%), enterprise development and management (38.5%), education and
training (10.5%), ecodevelopment (8.6%), and community services (5.3%). Country
reports detail funding uses in each of the 16 countries. Educational programs included
vocational and technical training, literacy education, teacher training, academic support
for low-income primary students, agricultural training, civic education, women's
education, and technical assistance and training in craft production and small business
operations. Collaborations with corporations are described. In FY99, IAF awarded over
$756,000 to 26 U.S. universities to provide fellowships; profiles of the 57 IAF Fellows at
these universities and their work are provided. IAF's 1999 dissemination activities and

This report addresses learning units which should be at the heart of a program in civic
education general education in community colleges. Citizenship education is congruent
with the mission of the community college in that it is a practical enterprise leading to
self-governance; it is integrative, using a variety of cognitive skills, attitudes and
knowledge; it is community relevant; and it enhances career development. By adopting a
conception of general education that inclines toward the notion of education for
democratic participation, community colleges can contribute to the process of political
socialization and better fulfill their obligation to the community which is their source of
support. Advantages of civic education for community college students include the
possibilities of reducing political power differentials; addressing social issues of
importance to a "late bloomer" student population; and developing a sense of community
among students. Some objections to mandated programs in civic education focus on the
curriculum constraints imposed on the community college. Issues of freedom versus
constraint, individualism versus social obligation, and vocationalism versus liberal
learning need to be resolved before such a prescriptive model of general education can be
adopted. The author maintains that civic education programs in community colleges
contribute to the quality of community life and further the commitment to democratic
values and practices which is the aim of the community college.

Community College, Institute for Community College Research.
This report is comprised of two chapters which offer a rationale for the inclusion of civic
education as a nexus of community college general education. The first chapter provides
an introductory overview of various issues related to general education reform and the
new emphasis among educators and critics on postsecondary civic or citizenship
education. This chapter offers a historical overview of the purposes and content of
general and liberal arts education, and its role in assuring socio-cultural unity through
common learning. An argument is put forth for conceiving general education in a civic
mode as a way of mediating the liberal and vocational strains of community college
education. The current concern of academics and politicians with education's civic
agenda is discussed in the context of the lack of college students' civic knowledge and the
lack of institutional commitment to citizenship education prevalent in the 1970's and
1980's. The second chapter reviews the history of community college general/civic
education from the institution's beginnings, while focusing on the three decades
following the Truman-Johnson era (1950-1980). It also provides a critical discussion of
the civic education commitments of selected community college general education plans
connected with the curricular reforms of the 1980's. This chapter concludes with a model
of community college general/civic education which incorporates a generic collegiate
design, but is responsive to the unique circumstances of the two-year college. (AYC)

The authors assert that community service is a voluntary contribution to the commonweal
that teaches valuable lessons about the responsibilities of citizenship in a free society.
Vital services are provided through thousands of organizations created to meet needs not
otherwise provided for by government. Participation in these community service projects
help create a sense of concern for the public good and a commitment to voluntarism so
essential to the future of the United States. Students at every level of school can
participate in these projects and thus learn many social studies skills, including data
gathering, critical thinking, and decision making. Community service programs also
teach civic participation processes and skills, including group interaction, leadership,
cooperation, and political influence. Service activities build positive bonds between youth
and the institutions of our society and strengthen student academic performance and self-

esteem. Service brings together students from diverse ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic
groups. Fourteen characteristics of exemplary community service programs are cited,

Higher education in America has a rich tradition of preparing students for civic roles and
responsibilities, but with increased specialization, these goals have lost their emphasis in
the curriculum. This report defines responsible citizenship in a democratic society and its
requisite skills; reviews higher education's role in civic education; identifies ways
colleges and universities can help develop the skills and requirements of citizenship and
public life; and presents ways that campuses can create a new environment for learning
about the civic life, through teaching, governance, extracurricular activities, campus life,
and community relations. Six approaches to civic education are presented, including: (1)
cultural traditions and classical education, (2) community and public service and
experiential education, (3) studies of leadership, (4) general and liberal arts education, (5)
civic or public leadership education, and (6) other education such as international studies
and philanthropy.

The theme of this journal concerns democracy and citizenship education at universities.
An editorial, "The Postmodern Blues" (Bernard Murchland), examines the negative
citizen attitudes during the election campaign of Bill Clinton. The five civic education
roundtable articles represent two position papers and three responses. The first position
paper, "Citizenship Education and the Public World" (Harry C. Boyte), proposes that
civic education should be designed to move students to reflect on their lives and careers
in ways that allow integration of concerns with larger arenas of governance and policy.
The second position paper, "Going to the Community" (Benjamin Barber), looks at the
context for a democratic education and the choices for community service. In response to
the positions by Boyte and Barber, Craig Rimmerman raises issues of critical education
for citizenship and discusses implementation of the approach. Tim Stanton presents three
challenges that arise from work as a community organizer. Leslie Hill addresses the
issues of power and the nature of the citizen. Following the roundtable articles,

1990's, and citizens in those countries, from Central and South American to Central and
Eastern Europe, are working to build constitutional democracies out of the rubble. Part of
creating these new governments is devising new school curricula to include civic
education--which addresses civic knowledge, civic skills, and civic virtues--and to teach
young citizens the theory and practice of constitutional democracy. The objectives of
civic education are: (1) to teach basic ideas thoroughly so that students can discern
between an authentic constitutional democracy and a bogus one; (2) to develop
intellectual participatory skills so students can, as citizens, think and act on behalf of their
rights and the common good; and (3) to nurture civic virtues such as self-discipline,
civility, compassion, tolerance, and respect. Effective democratic teachers must develop
lessons and activities for students that emphasize and combine these three elements of
civic education in a classroom environment that promotes the theory and practice of
constitutional democracy and liberty.

Patrick, J. J. (1996). Community and Individuality in Civic Education for Democracy.

U.S.; Indiana.
The interactions of individuality and community in a democratic republic have remained

the great object of civic inquiries, the perplexing civic problem throughout the more than
200 years of U.S. constitutional history. This paper argues that this inquiry should be at
the center of civic education today. Five recommendations for civic educators to meet
this challenge include: (1) teach the analysis and appraisal of public issues about
community and individuality and emphasize those issues that have been landmarks of
public debate in U.S. history; (2) teach comparatively and internationally about public
issues pertaining to community and individuality in different constitutional democracies
of the world; (3) conduct the classroom and the school in a manner that exemplifies the
conjoining of community and individuality in a democratic civic culture; (4) use service
learning in the community outside the school to teach civic virtues and skills needed to

40
conjoin community and individuality in civic life; and (5) teach civic knowledge, skills,
and virtues that constitute a common core of learning by which to maintain the culture of
a community and conterminously teach individuals to think critically for the purposes of
freeing themselves from unworthy traditions and to seek improvement of the community.

Education.
During the 1990s, there has been an unprecedented global dissemination of information
about the theory and practice of democracy and civic education for democracy. This
digest identifies nine trends having broad potential for influencing civic education in the
constitutional democracies of the world: (1) conceptualization of civic education in terms
of three interrelated components (civic knowledge, skills, and virtues); (2) systematic
teaching of core concepts; (3) analysis of case studies; (4) development of decision-
making skills; (5) comparative and international analysis of government and citizenship;
(6) development of participatory skills and civic virtues through cooperative learning
activities; (7) use of literature to teach civic virtues; (8) active learning of civic
knowledge, skills, and virtues; (9) conjoining of content and process in teaching and
learning of civic knowledge, skills, and virtues. (CB)

Education. Final Report. Ann Arbor, MI: Michigan Univ. Ann Arbor. School of
Education.
Implementation of a program designed to prepare researchers in social science education,

the Research Training Program at the University of Michigan, is reported. The research
focus was given to problems relating to the teaching of the social sciences and history
and to such topics as curriculum construction, controversial issues, the conduct of
inquiry, civic education and political socialization, evaluation of materials and audio-
visual media, and development and testing of instructional theories. A section on program
description contains a list of program objectives and significant changes in the course of
study during 1972-73. Selection, enrollment requirements, and academic qualifications of
the trainees, and program graduates are mentioned in the second section of the report.
The practicum training arrangements, consisting of the Supervised Research Internship
and Colloquium in Research Training, are detailed.

Soule, S. (2000). We the People...The Citizen and the Constitution: Knowledge of and
Support for Democratic Institutions and Processes by Participating Students.
National Finals, 2000. Calabasas, CA: Center for Civic Education Calabasas CA.
This report describes "We the People...The Citizen and the Constitution" which is an
instructional program on the history and principles of U.S. constitutional democracy for
elementary, middle school, and high school students. At the high school level, classes
may choose to enter a formal competition, advancing from congressional district and
state competitions to national finals. The competition is structured as a simulated
congressional hearing which tests students' knowledge of the United States Constitution.
In spring 2000, to assess the impact of the program on student knowledge of and support
for democratic institutions and processes, a survey was given to students (n=345)
participating in the national finals competition. The survey instrument, consisting of 43
open- and close-ended questions, incorporated questions previously administered to high
school seniors, college freshmen, and/or adults in various national surveys. The responses
of the competition's students were compared to respondents' answers on the national
surveys. Findings revealed that, as compared with various representative national
samples, students participating in the national finals competition of the "We the People..."
program possess more knowledge of U.S. democratic institutions and processes.

Soule, S. (2001). Report on Voting and Political Participation of "We the People... The
Citizen and the Constitution" Alumni. Calabasas, CA: Center for Civic Education
Calabasas CA.
In February 2001 the Center for Civic Education conducted the first survey of alumni
from the "We the People... The Citizen and the Constitution" program. Three Hundred
forty-one alumni, who were eligible to vote in November 2000, participated. Voting and
other forms of political engagement formed the core of the study. Since respondents were
self selected, findings should be considered suggestive rather than generalizable to all
alumni. Alumni were compared with a national probability study from the 2000 National
Election Studies (NES) of young people in the same age group of 18- to 30-year-olds and
also with over 260,000 college freshmen. This report documents the survey results, which
indicate that the alumni surveyed are better informed and participate at higher rates than
their peers. Additionally, data suggest that effective civic education may increase voter
turnout among youth.

Civic Contributions of Higher Education. (The New Millennium Project Working
Paper). Washington, DC: Institute for Higher Education Policy.
This work examines in detail how higher education serves the larger public good,
focusing on how higher education assesses and accounts for its service to society. It
begins with a brief description of how the civic education of students and institutional
service to society are defined for the purposes of this paper. It then discusses assessment
and accountability strategies, including the kinds of measures that tend to be the focus of
most public reporting strategies. The civic education and service roles of higher
education are not usually the focus of public reporting. When civic contributions are
assessed, something else, whether service learning, campus, climate, student diversity, or
"service" to the community, is measured. To build assessments of the civic contributions
of higher education into reports of accountability, there are some obstacles that must be
overcome. Wellman identifies those obstacles and presents some strategies to build
assessment and accountability capacities for the civic roles of higher education. The
strategies are drawn from assessment models currently being used to measure specific
dimensions of campuses' civic roles and activities.
