Abstract
This paper presents a test of the effectiveness of a largely student generated sixth grade social studies program in comparison to a teacher generated conventional program. Pupil achievement levels, attitude toward social studies, and behavioral ratings in various areas related to the study of social studies were measured and statistically or graphicly analyzed.
Recommendations included further studies eliminating the uncontrolled variables of this study and allowing for longer time periods with larger samples as well as a longitudinal study.
