Change In Social Movement Engagement And Leadership Should Equal A Change In Civic Education, Tess Tureson
Change In Social Movement Engagement And Leadership Should Equal A Change In Civic Education, Tess Tureson
Fall Student Research Symposium 2021
It seems as if almost everything in our world has changed with the introduction of the internet, personal computers, iPhones, and social media. We write emails instead of letters. We listen to podcasts and read articles online instead of buying a newspaper. Presidents communicate with the world on Twitter. The way we engage with politics has entirely changed. Yet, we are still going about civic education in schools the same way, teaching students to give speeches in city council meetings, write letters to their representative, and find current events from traditional news sources. This study offers new statistical evidence that …
