Abstract:

given continuing emphasis on Assessment and the fulfillment of core curriculum goals at Coastal Carolina University and nationally, we designed a 2-phase study of student learning outcomes in both core curriculum and major requirement courses. In addition to measuring changes in student knowledge, we also examine student attitude changes as a result of taking Introduction to World Politics and/or American National Government. We theorize that teaching such courses may impact student attitudes in such a way as to increase both knowledge and the likelihood of political participation. As such, our study provides insights into whether our students are meeting established student learning outcomes, but it also has implications for public policy and politics. The data thus illustrates Coastal Carolina University student political attitudes both globally and locally, and provides useful information for our
campus and our community.
