This research aims to study the democratic political
socialization of the 5th and 6th Graders under the Authority of Dusit
District Office, Bangkok by using stratified sampling for probability
sampling and using purposive sampling for non-probability sampling
to collect data toward the distribution of questionnaires to 300
respondents. This covers all of the schools under the authority of
Dusit District Office. The researcher analyzed the data by using
descriptive statistics which include arithmetic mean and standard
deviation. The result shows that 5th and 6th graders under the
authority of Dusit District Office, Bangkok, have displayed some
characteristics following democratic political socialization both
inside and outside classroom as well as outside school. However, the
democratic political socialization in classroom through grouping and
class participation is much more emphasized.
