Abstract

This article serves two purposes. It is an account of field testing two instructional units in the APSA text series "Citizenship and Change: Women and American Politics" and it is a report of original research findings produced by students who used the units. In the course of reading about the changing place of American women in the political System and then researching questions raised by their reading, students surprised themselves. They learned to evaluate their own attitudes and the socialization processes leading to them, while they found that they could tackle practical research problems successfully.GINT 202, Policies and Functions of American Government, is a course which I have treated as an "introductory seminar" on important policy questions and the political system's response to them.
