Abstract	"We the People . . . Project Citizen," an instructional product, involves students in the selection and investigation of important public issues in their community and thus engages students in learning experiences designed to affect positively their civic development, which involves three basic components of democratic citizenship: (1) civic knowledge, (2) civic skills, and (3) civic dispositions. This monograph evaluates the effects of "Project Citizen" on the civic development of adolescent students in Indiana, Latvia, and Lithuania. It contains these chapters: (1) "Introduction to an Evaluation of 'Project Citizen'"; (2) "Historical and Philosophical Foundations of 'Project Citizen'"; (3) "Research on the Civic Development of Adolescents: Relationships to an Evaluation of'Project Citizen'"; (4) "Methods of an Inquiry to Evaluate 'Project Citizen'"; (5) "Implementation of 'Project Citizen' in Indiana, Latvia, and Lithuania"; (6) "Effect of 'Project Citizen' on the civic Development of Adolescent Students in Indiana, Latvia, and Lithuania"; and (7) "Recommendations on Research, Curriculum, and Instruction." Includes four appendices and a bibliography. (BB)
