Action Civics is an applied civic education process in which: * Participants’ voices are encouraged, valued and incorporated to the fullest extent possible * Experiences, knowledge, perspectives and concerns of participants are incorporated to the fullest extent possible * Participants learn by doing, with a focus on collective action * Participants’ reflection and analysis are central to the process In contrast to other more traditional forms of civic education that primarily focus on providing students with content knowledge about citizens’ rights and responsibilities, Action Civics aims to develop participants’ civic skills, knowledge, and dispositions. This approach is often used to educate and empower young people to be active participants in their communities. Advocates of Action Civics contend that this approach prepares students for college, careers, and citizenship in the 21st century. ==Examples== Participants in Action Civics may engage in any of a variety of activities, including but not limited to the following: * Working on electoral and/or issue-based campaigns; * Serving as Student Election Judges; * Participating in debate and speech competitions; * Taking action on issues affecting their communities; * Participating in mock (or real) elections; * Serving on boards and councils that present policy recommendations to elected and appointed officials with decision-making power; * Organizing and/or participating in a protest or rally in support of/against a particular issue or cause; * Donating directly to or running philanthropic campaigns to support a particular cause or community-based program or project; * Vote and/or registering voters; * Advocating on behalf of a cause via news outlets (including social media); 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Action civics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
