This study investigated Singapore students' conceptions of citizenship and their perspectives of the official national narrative. The study examined how students understood themselves as citizens of Singapore, and how these perceptions varied across different groups. Comparisons were also made between the students' understanding of citizenship and history to the Social Studies curriculum. The impetus for this study arose from the need to clarify the nature of students' beliefs about citizenship and the national historical narrative, since research has also shown that people do not share similar identifications with the national past.

520 $a This study investigated Singapore students' conceptions of citizenship and their perspectives of the official national narrative. The study examined how students understood themselves as citizens of Singapore, and how these perceptions varied across different groups. Comparisons were also made between the students' understanding of citizenship and history to the Social Studies curriculum. The impetus for this study arose from the need to clarify the nature of students' beliefs about citizenship and the national historical narrative, since research has also shown that people do not share similar identifications with the national past.
520 $a The research questions were addressed through a collective instrumental case study of three Social Studies classrooms in three academically differentiated Singapore secondary schools. In total, 133 students and a representative sample of 24 students participated in the survey and in-depth interviews respectively. This study utilized four strategies of data collection: naturalistic classroom observations, surveys, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of the Social Studies curricula and text.
520 $a A central finding of this study is the strong parallel between the images of Singapore and citizenship held by the students to the official representation of the state, citizenship and historical narrative in the Social Studies curriculum. Key findings include the focus on citizen identity and virtue, ambivalence toward racial issues, and a depoliticized, communitarian, national and moral conception of citizenship. Participants also expressed strong support for a national conception of citizenship, but lacked empathy for the global community. Finally, the students demonstrated a cognitive understanding and acceptance of key citizenship messages and relevant historical facts. The program, however, failed to make significant headway in modifying attitudes toward inter-ethnic relations, and in developing independent and critical thinkers.
520 $a To conclude, this study identified the strengths and deficiencies of the Social Studies curriculum in terms of its structure, curricular goals, and implementation, and allowed students the opportunity to articulate their understanding of citizenship and the national narrative. This study also fills in a gap in the theoretical and empirical literature with regard to Social Studies education in Singapore, and adds to a growing body of work exploring Social Studies and citizenship education in non-Western contexts.
