Social education curricula are designed inter alia to assist the processes of maturation growth and development in promoting active citizenship. To this end, an experiment using group comparison methods was set up to determine if the instructional method of team teaching with Senior Citizens would have a detectable effect on attitudinal change on the part of pupils. This was in the two areas of the law and violence against the elderly. Difficulties in measuring this are addressed and the development of two instruments described. Statistically significant differences were found between classes assigned to control and experimental conditions in some instances, but the findings need to be treated cautiously. The findings have implications for further research and the development of programmes that seek to use this intervention under the rubric of the new Statewide K-12 Curriculum Framework. in Western Australian schools.
