| Popis: | 102 Life cycle theory indicates that people conceptualize their political knowledge during the high school period. School education especially plays an important role. We did this study to find out whether students studied in schools with difference in school climates have variations in their consciousness. This article used Chiu-Yeoung Kuo’s definition of consciousness of citizenship that focus on whether the civic have ability to criticize political authority or comment on policy in public. Furthermore, this article measured political duty and social right, which is the main concept in citizenship. Political efficacy, political trust, political participation were measured as well. Four schools were chosen to be our study cases. Two public schools (The Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University and The Affiliated High School of National Chengchi University) were known as open atmosphere, in contrast with two private schools (Taipei Wego Private Bilingual Senior High School and Taipei Fuhsing Private School) were known as strict discipline to students. We used multiple regressions to test seven main hypotheses, the hypothesis of “consciousness of citizenship”, “political duty” and “political efficacy” were statistical significant. The result shows that students in public school have better consciousness of citizenship. Furthermore, school climate in students’ mind as an independent variable was statistical significant in almost all dependent variables. When students think their school climate is open, their consciousness of citizenship rather higher. |
