Social responsibility incorporates concepts of citizenship, interdependency, and respect for people reflected in ethical concern, caring, and responsiveness. While the philosophies of many schools attempt to address social responsibility within the curriculum, what students understand as social responsibility remains relatively unexplored. This study examines fifth grade students' understandings of social responsibility.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Social responsibility incorporates concepts of citizenship, interdependency, and respect for people reflected in ethical concern, caring, and responsiveness. While the philosophies of many schools attempt to address social responsibility within the curriculum, what students understand as social responsibility remains relatively unexplored. This study examines fifth grade students' understandings of social responsibility.
520 $a Twelve fifth grade students and the researcher were participants in this study. As participants, the students responded to three questionnaires, recorded their thoughts in dialogue journals, and conversed with the researcher in interviews which focused on the understandings of social responsibility. The researcher maintained a journal throughout the study, and interacted with students as researcher through dialogue journals and interviews. A futuristics unit became a means for the researcher to relate to these students as a teacher. The unit was used to vehicle for stimulating students' thoughts on issues of hunger and environmental concerns as the issues related to social responsibility.
520 $a Van Manen's approach to phenomenological writing became the framework for interpreting the students' text and in writing the descriptive narrative. In keeping with this approach, childrens' literature was used to provide an added dimension to interpretations of students' expressed understandings, and to support the metaphors which the students used and as they appeared in the interpretation of the text.
520 $a Throughout the study, students indicated that their understandings of social responsibility were related to concepts of the hero. Students indicated that social responsibility began with a sense of membership, or citizenship, in both the community and the world. The students implied that the virtues of the citizen-hero incorporated kindness, cooperation, and good will. Students also defined socially responsible action in three distinct terms--ransoming, rescuing, and redeeming.
520 $a Campbell's ideas on the hero became the foundation for reviewing students' understandings of social responsibility in yet another manner. Campbell's works also provided the parallel connections with the students' ideas and curriculum recommendations for the teaching of values leading to social responsibility.
