Thesis (Ph.D.)--George Mason University, 1994.

This study's primary research problem was to determine whether the type of textbook used made a difference in eighth-grade civics students' performance on measures of thinking skills, decision making, and citizenship knowledge. The two textbooks used in this study differed in approach--one was a traditional, content-based textbook and the other was based on decision making. A secondary research problem was to determine the relationship between self-evaluation of decision-making skills, decision-making style, and verbal ability to decision-making maturity.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study's primary research problem was to determine whether the type of textbook used made a difference in eighth-grade civics students' performance on measures of thinking skills, decision making, and citizenship knowledge. The two textbooks used in this study differed in approach--one was a traditional, content-based textbook and the other was based on decision making. A secondary research problem was to determine the relationship between self-evaluation of decision-making skills, decision-making style, and verbal ability to decision-making maturity.
520 $a Using a significance level of p $< $. 05, six hypotheses were tested with a Solomon four-group design on four classes in two middle schools.
520 $a No statistically significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups in terms of performance on all of the measures of civics achievement, thinking skills, or decision making. When comparing performance on measures of decision-making maturity, no statistically significant differences were found between cognitive ability levels, preferred decision-making styles, and self-evaluation levels of decision-making skills. Hence, differences in the textbook approach alone do not have a significant impact on student outcomes. Furthermore, there is no statistically significant correlation between the quality of decisions made by students and their performance on measures of decision-making style, self-evaluation of decision-making skills, and cognitive ability.
