RAPID: Civic Education

公民教育是教育公民责任的重要途径，这是人们一致同意的。然而，在政府更迭的时代，教师们如何驾驭这门学科却鲜为人知。在肯尼亚政府换届期间，历史教师和政府教师正在学习如何教授他们的课程，这项研究将考察这些教师如何教授这些课程。公民教育一直被视为民主进程的中坚力量。本研究探讨公民教育如何随教师经验而改变。它将调查政府结构的变化如何传达给负责公民教育的教师，以及他们如何向学生教授公民教育。该研究对公民身份形成理论和民主化有重要贡献。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

It is uniformly agreed that civics education is an important way to teach the responsibilities of citizenship. However, little is known about how teachers navigate this subject in a time of changes in government. History teachers and Government teachers are being taught how to teach their subjects during a period of governmental changes in Kenya, and this research will examine how these teachers then actually teach these subjects.Civic education has been seen as a stalwart for democratic processes. This research examines how civic education might be changed as a function of teacher experience. It will examine how changes in government structure are communicated to teachers in charge of teaching civics, and how they in turn teach civics to their students. The research contributes to citizenship-formation theories and democratization.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
