Active Citizenry: Engaging the Engagers
Champlain College
Category 1: Seminar Grant
2012-2014
"Purpose: When faced with a generation of students who reject the language of _politics,_ how might those in the academy (a long-standing center of civic discourse) engage students in meaningful learning that leads to democratic citizenship and civic engagement? Despite research that has examined students_ civic engagement, civic development and engaged learning based on race, gender, prior education, and mobility, little attention has been paid to formal classroom teaching at the college level and the ways that this might impact student engagement, development and learning in their democratic identities.
The goal of this seminar is to bring together a diverse faculty population at Champlain College to discuss, participate in, and reflect on a specific curricular intervention designed to empower students to engage in political dialogue. In other words, we intend to deliberately engage those charged with engaging students in ways that empower them to break through student fears and cynicism.
Rationale: Over the past two years, a team of five members from different parts of the college implemented a curricular program in a first year writing course. It was designed specifically to engage students in political discourse and to measure the ways in which having tools and opportunities to talk about politics empowered the students to do so. It was based on the premise that traditional first year college students lose opportunities to discuss political issues when they leave their parents. Explicit skill instruction included text analysis (for both what was said and how it was said) as well as explicit instruction in debate vs dialogue. Students read political texts, analyzed them and were subsequently asked to carry on conversations outside of the classroom about them. Using the analysis of a quasi-experimental design on this intervention from eight first year writing courses (three of which were control groups) this seminar seeks to build on the finding that confirmed that students who participated in this curriculum were more likely to believe that they do indeed have a role to play in politics and that those who are asked to engage in political dialogue may, in fact, be more likely to see that they have a role in politics and government affairs. The results of this study have been written and accepted for publication by College Teaching under the manuscript title: _Promoting a deliberative and active citizenry: Developing traditional first
