Opis

Citizenship, the condition of living in a shared society and the standard of conduct that allows those in a particular society to live harmoniously and prosper, has become an important goal for public education in Canada. Citizenship is a prevalent concept within many documents and policy developments in the field of education. The purpose of this study was to describe the congruence between Aboriginal student citizenship development, as manifested in behaviour, and the prescribed outcomes of Canadian citizenship in secondary schools in the Province of Manitoba, Canada. The values of Canadian citizenship were used in this study which were derived from a set of civic values used in the development of Manitoba's Social Studies curriculum.
