Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where democracy stands as a beacon of hope and progress, the significance of informed voting cannot be overstated. "Informed Choices: Why Voter’s Education Matters" encapsulates the essence of voter's education, a cornerstone of democratic governance. Voter's education serves as the bedrock upon which the edifice of democracy rests, empowering citizens with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to participate meaningfully in the political process, make informed choices at the ballot box, and hold elected officials accountable for their actions and decisions. At its core, voter's education is about empowering citizens to engage with the democratic process in a meaningful and informed manner. It is about providing citizens with the information and resources they need to understand the electoral process, the issues at stake in elections, and the positions and priorities of candidates and parties. By equipping citizens with this knowledge, voter's education enables them to make informed decisions that reflect their values, interests, and aspirations, thereby strengthening the integrity and legitimacy of democratic governance. Voter's education is not just about casting a ballot; it is about fostering a culture of civic engagement and participation that is essential for the health and vitality of democracy. It is about empowering citizens to take ownership of their role in the political process, to advocate for their interests, and to contribute to the collective well-being of society. Voter's education encourages citizens to stay informed about current events, to engage in informed dialogue and debate about the issues that matter to them, and to participate in civic activities such as community organizing, volunteering, and public service. Moreover, voter's education is about promoting transparency and accountability in government. By educating citizens about their rights and responsibilities as voters, voter's education programs empower citizens to demand openness, honesty, and integrity from their elected officials. Voter's education fosters a culture of accountability that holds elected officials accountable for their actions and decisions, and that promotes responsive and representative governance. In a world where disinformation and misinformation proliferate, voter's education serves as a bulwark against the erosion of trust in democratic institutions. By teaching citizens how to critically evaluate information, distinguish fact from fiction, and engage in reasoned debate, voter's education programs help inoculate society against the dangers of propaganda and manipulation. Voter's education promotes media literacy, critical thinking skills, and civic responsibility, empowering citizens to be vigilant guardians of democracy in an age of information overload. The importance of voter's education extends beyond national borders, transcending cultural, political, and geographical boundaries. In countries around the world, voter's education initiatives are empowering citizens to exercise their democratic rights and contribute to the collective governance of society. From voter registration drives and civic education programs to public awareness campaigns and community outreach events, voter's education efforts are transforming the landscape of democracy and building a more informed, engaged, and accountable citizenry. As we look to the future, the need for voter's education has never been more urgent. In an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world, the challenges facing democracy are complex and multifaceted. From the rise of authoritarianism and populism to the threats posed by disinformation and digital manipulation, the integrity of democratic governance is under siege. In this context, voter's education stands as a beacon of hope, a powerful tool for empowering citizens, strengthening democratic institutions, and defending the principles of democracy against threats and challenges. Informed Choices: Why Voter’s Education Matters is not just a slogan; it is a rallying cry for all those who believe in the power of democracy to bring about positive change. It is a reminder that democracy is not a spectator sport; it is a participatory endeavor that requires the active engagement and commitment of all citizens. By investing in voter's education, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come, a future where democracy thrives, and where informed choices lead to stronger, more resilient democracies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a conservative educational climate that is dominated by policies like No Child Left Behind, one of the most serious effects has been for educators to worry about the politics of what they are teaching and how they are teaching it. As a result, many dedicated teachers choose to avoid controversial issues altogether in preference for "safe" knowledge and "safe" teaching practices. Diana Hess interrupts this dangerous trend by providing readers a spirited and detailed argument for why curricula and teaching based on controversial issues are truly crucial at this time. Through rich empirical research from real classrooms throughout the nation, she demonstrates why schools have the potential to be particularly powerful sites for democratic education and why this form of education must include sustained attention to authentic and controversial political issues that animate political communities. The purposeful inclusion of controversial issues in the school curriculum, when done wisely and well, can communicate by example the essence of what makes communities democratic while simultaneously building the skills and dispositions that young people will need to live in and improve such communities.

Download or read book Assessing Affective Characteristics in the Schools written by Lorin W. Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The affective realm is a critical, but often forgotten, aspect of schooling. The development of character and the formation of appropriate learning environments rely to a large extent on understanding the affective nature of students. Even when the focus is on cognitive achievement, affect has a role to play. Teachers frequently mention a lack of motivation as a primary reason for students not achieving as well as they should or as well as their teachers would like. Despite the importance of affect, educators rarely make an effort to systematically collect and use information about students' affective characteristics to better understand students and to substantially improve the quality of education they receive. This book's purpose is to provide educators with the knowledge and skills they need to design and select instruments that can be used to gather information about students' affective characteristics. Once valid and reliable information has been gathered, it can be used to aid in understanding and to improve educational quality. The second edition features: * an updated list of affective characteristics (i.e., attitudes, values, interests, self-esteem, self-efficacy, locus of control) * a dual emphasis on selecting and designing affective assessment instruments * an emphasis on multi-scale instruments (i.e., a single instrument with multiple affective scales) * the use of a single small data set to illustrate and foster understanding of key concepts and procedures * a dual emphasis on data about individual students and groups of students * a dual focus on the instrumental value of affective data and the inherent value of affective data (i.e., affect is valuable in and of itself)
