Research on the social development of children has revealed that children's awareness of the social and political world emerges far earlier. Their social and moral sensibilities are far more advanced than we previously thought. So what happens in young adulthood?
This section contains a series of resources that help to outline how teaching and learning strategies have sought to inform the students’ sense of social responsibility. How different pedagogical approaches have impacted on their learning about democratic concepts. The methodology of the evaluation was defined as action research as the process was intended to inform change and improve practice.
