Children develop concepts of political symbols and figures early in life. Investigations were made into their knowledge of and attitudes towards the Union Jack, the policeman, the Queen and the Prime Minister. It was seen that expressive learning preceded cognitive learning. Further, the order of learning seemed to follow this general pattern: (a) colourful symbols; (b) persons in easily identified or symbolic dress; (c) other political persons; and (d) more abstract political concepts such as the 'nation'. Children felt positively disposed towards these political persons and objects and generally felt that they were benevolent and not all-powerful or threatening. |
