Abstract

This article reviews a series of educational guidelines for training in citizenship skills at the preschool level in Colombia, along with research on cognitive and social development in preschool children. It also takes a look at how these guidelines and findings relate to programs for teaching citizenship skills to youngsters in this age group. Thirty-eight studies were reviewed. The discussion focused on the articulation that is required between progress in research on children's cognitive and social development and programs to teach citizenship skills to preschool youngsters. The objective was to provide an idea of civic, defensive and purposeful actions that are pertinent and can be used by teachers at this stage in a child's life.
