We the People...Project Citizen (Project Citizen) is a civic education program for middle-school students that promotes informed and responsible participation in local government. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of Project Citizen upon the civic skills and dispositions of Taiwanese adolescent students, to explore factors associated with its effectiveness, and to document teachers' perceptions of Project Citizen.

520 $a We the People...Project Citizen (Project Citizen) is a civic education program for middle-school students that promotes informed and responsible participation in local government. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of Project Citizen upon the civic skills and dispositions of Taiwanese adolescent students, to explore factors associated with its effectiveness, and to document teachers' perceptions of Project Citizen.
520 $a This research employed a non-random, pretest-posttest comparison group, quasi-experimental design. Twelve Taiwanese high school teachers each with two classes of students, one experimental and one comparison, participated in this study. During the fall semester of 2001, the experimental students received instruction in Project Citizen as an adjunct to the traditional instruction of Civics or Three Principles of the People; the comparison students received traditional, discipline-based instruction that focused on the hierarchical model of knowledge acquisition.
520 $a Hierarchical analysis of covariance (Hierarchical ANCOVA) of the posttest, using the pretest as the covariate, indicated that students participating in Project Citizen significantly outperformed students in the comparison group in civic skills, political interest and commitment to rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Factors significantly associated with the effect of Project Citizen on the civic skills of Taiwanese adolescents included classroom climate, exposure to news of various resources, and teachers' teaching experience. Factors significantly related to the effect of Project Citizen on the civic dispositions of Taiwanese adolescents included classroom climate, students' exposure to news of various resources, and confidence in attending college.
520 $a Qualitative analyses of the teacher interviews revealed that all the participating teachers responded positively toward the Project Citizen instructional program; the teachers expressed interest in implementing the program again in their classes. The results also suggested, however, that time constraints, students' abilities, and the pressure of the Joint College Entrance Examination, among other factors, posed significant challenges to implementing Project Citizen in the Taiwanese context. Valuable suggestions to address these challenges, such as correlating Project Citizen with current curriculum frameworks and simplifying the procedures and materials, were provided by the participating teachers.
