High School Students' Knowledge and Notions of Citizenship
Feinberg, Joseph R.; Doppen, Frans H.
Social Studies, v101 n3 p111-116 2010
This article focuses on high school students' knowledge and notions of citizenship after taking the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Naturalization Test. The students' test results and responses show emerging support for the need to make changes to the test as well as the students' limited conceptions of citizenship. In addition, this study's methodological benefits and challenges are discussed with implications for future research and practice. (Contains 2 notes.)
