UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, Oct. 10 (TNSres) -- Penn State's College of Education issued the following news:
A civics test policy mandated in 18 states that focuses on rote memorization and testing of political knowledge did not improve youth voter turnout as intended, according to Penn State College of Education researchers. As an alternative, they recommend a thorough integration of practical information on the voter registration process within social studies curricula.
