A Case Study Of The Political Socialization Of Children And Adolescents

As the "successors" of the country's future career,children are the key period in which the world outlook,outlook on life,and values are formed.The political enlightenment of childhood has a very important influence on political personality and political choices in adulthood.At this stage,the research object of domestic political socialization focuses on the current political situation of adults,such as college students,and there is less research on children's political psychology and political growth.Secondly,the current research in this discipline mainly focuses on the research of youth organizations,that is,the Young Pioneers.The essential starting point is that the study of children's ideology is not thorough enough.The Young Pioneers are responsible for the cultivation of children's politics.The formation rules and characteristics of children's political socialization are the basic basis for the Young Pioneers' organization and education.Therefore,only by studying the political socialization of children and children,and understanding and grasping the current formation rules and characteristics of the political socialization of children in China,can we continue to explore and provide reference methods for the political training and political influence of children in schools.Based on this,the author takes the socialization of children's politics as the research theme.The problems that this research attempts to solve include:(1)determining the specific dimensions of children's political socialization;(2)exploring the formation characteristics and laws of primary school children's political socialization;(3)summarizing and explaining the politics of young children in the school environment from individual cases Factors of socialization and make relevant suggestions.The main content of this study is divided into three parts according to "approaching cases-case deep description-case summary".The first is to approach the case and determine that the case study object is X Elementary School.Based on the questionnaires of scholars such as David Easton,a questionnaire for the political and socialization of primary school children was prepared in the early stage.To assist in the investigation and analysis of the political socialization of 280 students in grades three to six of X elementary school,the results were found to be:(1)The children of X Elementary School were politically simple,and highly identified.Most children can identify their multiple identities,have a high degree of identification with national symbols,and have a simple feeling for the country and people.(2)Children's political cognition presents anthropomorphic characteristics,and political authority is idealized.Early childhood has completed the "politicization" phase,and the evaluation of the party and government is generally positive.At the same time,three issues worthy of attention were found,that is,children's vague understanding of individual political identities;their emotions on national political symbols depend on specific contexts,and emotions cannot be unified with their own extemalization behavior,and their political beliefs are not strong;The relationship between the Communist Party of China and the Young Pioneers is not well understood.Secondly,based on the results of the case survey,I carried out case-by-case descriptions,outlined the scenes of the school's political socialization of children's education,analyzed from the aspects of curriculum teaching,political education,and ritual infection,and ritual infection to understand how X elementary school cultivated children's political socialization.Finally,based on the way in which the primary school's political socialization of children is cultivated,combined with the characteristics and laws of children 's political socialization,the following references can be provided for the adjustment and cultivation of children's political socialization in primary schools:(1)respect children's subjectivity and empower children Role participation;(2)follow the regularity of children and adjust the presentation of education;(3)set an example based on the imitation of children.Due to the vast territory of our country and the complex background of children's growth,it is difficult to draw general conclusions about the reliability and validity.Therefore,this study is based on a case study method,using questionnaires,interviews,and observations to investigate and analyze the current situation of children's political socialization in a limited and controllable school environment.The process helps us better understand and grasp the current formation rules and characteristics of the political socialization of children and adolescents in China,so as to provide a reference way for schools to politically nurture and influence children.Understanding of Children's Political Socialization.
