Abstract: Citizen education for adolescents has been judged ineffective for the most part because an academic orientation has failed to foster participatory citizenship. Recent research in the political socialization of youth strongly suggests that the schools have great potential for socializing youth for an active civic role. It was the purpose of this study to create and test a model of citizen education for early adolescents whose premise was that the political socialization of these young people could be enhanced by school and field experiences designed to promote personal development and commitment to responsible community involvement. The model drew upon: (a) Newmann's work with adolescents in a curriculum of active citizen education, (b) Mosher's work with adolescents in a curriculum of moral education, and (c) Hampden-Turner's model of psycho-social development from Radical Man. The model for this study was designed particularly for early adolescents.
