Abstract
One of the main goals of the education system and educational leaders is to pay attention to the education of a desirable citizen for the society. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of teaching philosophy for children on the citizenship education of fourth grade female students in Ashkezar city. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all fourth grade female students of Ashkezar city, Among these, 30 students were selected using available sampling method and were randomly divided into two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The research tool for data collection was Marcusi and Ixin's citizenship behavior questionnaire. Philosophy training was conducted in 12 sessions of 60 minutes for the experimental group. The collected data were analyzed at two levels of descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (analysis of covariance and MANCOVA) using spss software. The results of covariance analysis showed that teaching philosophy for children has improved the citizenship behavior of fourth grade female students. The results of the Mankova test also showed that there is a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups in terms of all the components, so that the post-test average of these components in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group.
