Global Citizenship Education in Australian Elementary Schools(Journal of Ethics; Vol. 137, No 1) Year of publication: 2022 Author: 한은영 | 추병완 Corporate author: 한국윤리학회 Global citizens think and act about the world as a universal community of borderless members who care for each other and are dedicated to taking care of the earth. Considering these visions and moral ideals, global citizenship education is an important goal and content of moral education. However, at present, we do not have a framework for dealing with global citizenship education in moral education. In this regard, Australia is the country we should pay attention to. Australia declared a national statement for global citizenship education in 2002. Since 2009, it has been reflected in the Australian curriculum. This article examines the historical development of global citizenship education in Australia, analyzes the current systems of global citizenship education system in primary schools, and investigates what Australia's approach to global citizenship education suggests for elementary moral education in Korea. In conclusion, we proposed three things. First, we must develop and apply a framework for the practice of global civic education in moral education. Second, we should emphasize the aspects of knowledge and understanding, skills and processing, behavior and participation as well as values and attitudes. Third, we must seek a balance between moderate global citizenship education and critical global citizenship education.
