# Literature Review: The Impact of Citizenship Training Program among Grade 10 Students at Bani
National High School

## Introduction
Citizenship training programs are designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes
necessary to become active and responsible citizens in their communities. While several studies have
explored the impact of various training programs on students' academic performance and social-emotional
development, the specific impact of citizenship training programs among grade 10 students at Bani
National High School remains underexplored. This literature review aims to synthesize existing research
findings on the impact of similar training programs in educational settings and identify potential gaps in
the literature that warrant further investigation.

## Impact of Training Programs on Academic Performance and Skill Development

Lowrie, Logan, and Ramful (2017) conducted a study that examined the effects of visuospatial training
on elementary students' mathematics performance. The findings revealed a significant improvement in
students' mathematics performance following the implementation of the training program. This suggests
that targeted training programs can positively influence students' academic skills and competencies.

In a similar vein, Parker et al. (2014) evaluated the impact of mindfulness education on elementary
school students through the Master Mind program. The results indicated positive outcomes related to
students' mental health and well-being, highlighting the potential of training programs to enhance students'
socio-emotional skills.

Furthermore, the study by Roux, Swartz, and Swart (2014) investigated the effect of an animal-assisted
reading program on the reading rate, accuracy, and comprehension of grade 3 students. The findings
demonstrated improvements in students' reading abilities, emphasizing the potential of innovative training
approaches to foster academic skill development.

## Professional Development Programs for Teachers and Student Achievement

Jacob, Hill, and Corey (2017) examined the impact of a professional development program on teachers'
mathematical knowledge for teaching, instruction, and student achievement. The results indicated positive
associations between teacher participation in the program, instructional quality, and student achievement.
This highlights the interconnectedness of teacher training programs and student outcomes, suggesting
that citizenship training programs may not only impact students directly but also indirectly through the

professional development of educators.

## Financial Literacy Training and Educational Outcomes

Hospido, Villanueva, and Zamarro (2015) investigated the impact of financial literacy training in com-
pulsory secondary education in Spain. The study demonstrated positive effects on students' financial
knowledge and decision-making skills, indicating that targeted training programs can have a meaningful
impact on specific domains of student learning and preparedness for adult life.

## Recruiting Rural Healthcare Providers: Implications for Training Program Success

Macqueen et al. (2017) conducted a systematic review of training program success and determinants of
geographic choices among rural healthcare providers. While this study focused on a different context, it
shed light on the factors influencing the success of training programs and their long-term impact on career
choices. This broader perspective can inform the evaluation of citizenship training programs in terms of
their potential influence on students' future civic engagement and community involvement.

## Knowledge Gaps and Future Research Directions

While the aforementioned studies provide valuable insights into the impact of various training programs
on students' academic performance, socio-emotional development, and career choices, there is a notable
gap in the literature regarding the specific impact of citizenship training programs among grade 10
students at Bani National High School. Future research should consider longitudinal studies to assess the
sustained effects of citizenship training programs beyond immediate outcomes. Additionally, qualitative
inquiries can provide a deeper understanding of students' perceptions and experiences following partici-
pation in such programs. Moreover, investigating the role of community partnerships and extracurricular
activities in reinforcing the lessons learned through citizenship training programs can offer a more com-
prehensive understanding of their impact. Overall, future research should aim to capture the multifaceted
influence of citizenship training programs on students' holistic development and their roles as active
members of their communities.
