Media and Information Literacy: Reinforcing Human Rights, Countering Radicalization and Extremism (The MILID Yearbook, 2016) Year of publication: 2016 Author: Jagtar Singh | Paulette Kerr | Esther Hamburger Corporate author: UNESCO | Alliance of Civilizations Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is a strong tool, cutting across educational, cultural and social contexts. It can help overcome disinformation, stereotypes and intolerance conveyed through some media and in online spaces. Here, stimulating critical empathy is one of the vital components and there are many stakeholders that have a role to play in this dimension of MIL.This year’s edition is focused on a highly relevant theme of “Media and Information Literacy: Reinforcing Human Rights, Countering Radicalization and Extremism”. It is a relevant reference point to initiate discussion and offer perspectives to stakeholders seeking to apply MIL as a tool to counter violent extremism. There is evident need for evidence-based research, assessment and evaluation that can provide insight into the impact of media and information literacy on societies. UNESCO trusts that this publication will contribute to ongoing scholarship and debate on these key topics.For media and other information providers to serve their purpose, we need critical minds in the public, which means to develop MIL programmes at the national, regional and international levels. 
Let's Decide How to Measure School Violence (Policy Paper 29) Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO Violence in schools and other education settings causes serious harm to children and adolescents that can last into adulthood. As the UN World Report on Violence against Children observed, it is a global phenomenon (Pinheiro, 2006). Policies, laws and strategies to prevent school-related violence depend on accurate knowledge of its global prevalence, trends and effects, but such evidence is lacking.In schools, manifestations of violence include bullying, corporal punishment, verbal and emotional abuse, intimidation, sexual harassment and assault, gang activity and the presence of weapons. While attention usually focuses on extreme events, the more common and often unnoticed forms of violence cause the greatest harm to the education experience of children and adolescents. These tend to be under-reported, as they often involve taboos.To collect data on aspects of violence in schools, large-scale, multi-country school-based surveys are increasingly used; some countries also have well-established monitoring mechanisms. Overall, however, consistent evidence on the global prevalence and trends of school-related violence is lacking. To ensure reliable data is gathered, action is needed to bridge differences between the various monitoring methods. This paper, launched to coincide with the International Symposium on School Violence and Bullying: From Evidence to Action, in Seoul, Republic of Korea (January 17–19, 2017), aims to inform the current debate and propose options for the future. 
Measurement of global citizenship education Year of publication: 2013 Author: Vegard Skirbekk | Michaela Potančoková | Marcin Stonawski Corporate author: UNESCO In this study we provide an overview of Global Citizenship Education, focusing on definitions, methodological advances and data. We present an assessment of some of the existing initiatives for the measurement Global Citizenship Education, and make suggestions for how to move towards a globally consistent measure. Although there is some disagreement over how to measure global citizenship and global citizenship education, we also find consensus on parts of the concept. We are proposing to construct a composite indicator consisting of three complementary levels – the societal level (e.g., the level of democracy; macro level indicators of openness), the supplier level (e.g., provision of education; availability of training relevant for global citizenship); and the receiver level (civic identity, values, skills and knowledge). We conclude that one potential cost-effective approach could be to integrate evidence from several nationally representative surveys, providing us with world-wide coverage. We also discuss the feasibility and benefits of this measurement approach as well as its challenges. Measurement of global citizenship education Year of publication: 2013 Author: Vegard Skirbekk | Michaela Potančoková | Marcin Stonawski Corporate author: UNESCO Dans cette étude, nous présentons un aperçu de l’Éducation à la Citoyenneté Mondiale, en se concentrant sur les définitions, les progrès méthodologiques et des données. Nous présentons une évaluation de quelques-unes des initiatives existantes pour la mesure d'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale, et de faire des suggestions sur la façon de progresser vers une mesure cohérente au niveau mondial. Bien qu'il y ait un certain désaccord sur la façon de mesurer la citoyenneté mondiale et de l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale, on trouve aussi un consensus sur certaines parties du concept. Nous proposons de construire un indicateur composite constitué de trois niveaux complémentaires - le niveau de la société (par exemple, le niveau de la démocratie, les indicateurs macro-niveau d'ouverture), le niveau des fournisseurs (par exemple, la fourniture de l'éducation, la disponibilité de la formation pertinente à la citoyenneté mondiale) ; et le niveau du récepteur (identité civique, les valeurs, les compétences et les connaissances). Nous concluons qu'une approche potentielle rentable pourrait être d'intégrer des preuves de plusieurs enquêtes représentatives au niveau national, nous fournissant une couverture mondiale. Nous discutons aussi la faisabilité et les avantages de cette approche de mesures ainsi que ses défis.

UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (ver.3) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO UNESCO has developed the ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (ICT CFT) as a tool to guide pre- and in-service teacher training on the use of ICTs across the education system. The ICT CFT is intended to be adapted to support national and institutional goals by providing an up-to-date framework for policy development and capacity building in this dynamic area.The ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (ICT CFT) Version 3 is a response to recent technological and pedagogical developments in the field of ICT and Education, and incorporates in its structure inclusive principles of non-discrimination, open and equitable information accessibility and gender equality in the delivery of education supported by technology. It addresses the impacts of recent technological advances on education and learning, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Mobile Technologies, the Internet of Things and Open Educational Resources, to support the creation of inclusive Knowledge Societies. The ICT CFT provides a comprehensive set of competencies teachers need to integrate ICT into their professional practice in order to facilitate students’ achievement of curricular objectives. Strong political commitments and sustained investment in teacher education, and concerted actions between pre- and in-service teacher trainings form the foundation of the successful implementation of this Framework as it is contextualized to national and institutional goals. For this reason, this document underlines the importance of steadfast commitment to supporting teachers’ continuous professional development including through ICT, and includes examples to illustrate how ICT CFT could be used to facilitate teachers’ development in diverse contexts. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration with all stakeholders everywhere to leverage ICT to develop the skills required to thrive within the fast-changing inclusive Knowledge Societies.

Образование в интересах устойчивого развития (ОУР): строительство нового, более справедливого мира в XXI веке Year of publication: 2012 Corporate author: UNESCO Education for Sustainable Development allows every human being to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to shape a sustainable future. Education for Sustainable Development means including key sustainable development issues into teaching and learning; for example, climate change, disaster risk reduction, biodiversity, poverty reduction, and sustainable consumption. It also requires participatory teaching and learning methods that motivate and empower learners to change their behaviour and take action for sustainable development. Education for Sustainable Development consequently promotes competencies like critical thinking, imagining future scenarios and making decisions in a collaborative way. Education for Sustainable Development requires far-reaching changes in the way education is often practised today. UNESCO is the lead agency for the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014).
