Supporting Change in Practice: Case Studies on the Use of the ACER-APCEIU Global Citizenship Education Monitoring Toolkit: Country Case-Republic of Korea Year of publication: 2025 Author: Suyeon Park | Sunmi Ji | Yoonyoung Lee Corporate author: APCEIU APCEIU is pleased to announce the release of its new publications, Supporting Change in Practice: Case Studies on the Use of the ACER-APCEIU Global Citizenship Education Monitoring Toolkit, which shares key findings from the research conducted in Australia and the Republic of Korea. The two reports, based on case studies from two countries, build upon the three-phase Asia-Pacific GCED Monitoring Project (2022–2024) jointly undertaken by ACER and APCEIU to strengthen monitoring and evaluation of GCED and support progress toward SDG 4.7 across the region. The three phases of the initiative identified enabling conditions for GCED, validated the regional GCED Monitoring Framework, and developed the ACER-APCEIU GCED Monitoring Toolkit. The reports for each phase can be found here: Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III. The newly released reports move the project forward by examining how the Toolkit can be practically applied in real educational settings. The study aimed to examine how the Toolkit could be used to support collaboration among key education stakeholders—teachers, school leaders, and education supervisors—in 1) goal setting, 2) planning, 3) implementing, and 4) reflecting on GCED practices. Through this process, the research sought to understand how the Toolkit could help strengthen the connection between policy commitments and everyday educational practice, supporting teachers, school leaders, and system leaders to embed GCED more systematically and sustainably within their existing framework. Both studies conducted in Australia and the Republic of Korea have been guided by the following research questions: 1. How does the GCED Monitoring Toolkit support key stakeholder groups to collaboratively embed GCED in policy and practice? a. What aspects of the Toolkit enable or challenge stakeholders to achieve their GCED goals and objectives? b. How do key stakeholders perceive its usefulness? 2. Are there any aspects of the Toolkit that stakeholders would change to improve its usefulness in supporting the implementation and contextualisation of GCED in policy and practice?The reports demonstrate how a GCED Monitoring Toolkit can be translated into actionable processes within real educational settings. It offers valuable insights for policymakers, school leaders, teachers, and researchers aiming to monitor and strengthen GCED implementation and systematically embed GCED within their educational ecosystems.

Choo | Thippapan Chuosavasdi | Li-Ching Ho | Aigul Kulnazarova | Mousumi Mukherjee | Mousumi Roy | Tania Saeed | Tanya Wendt Samu | Kyujoo Seol | Jun Teng Corporate author: APCEIU Educators’ Guide to Global Citizenship Education from Asia-Pacific Perspectives is designed to translate rich discussions from Rethinking Global Citizenship Education from Asia-Pacific Perspectives (2024) into a more accessible resource for educators. This Guide supports educators by presenting scholarly insights in practical and actionable ways. Serving as a bridge between theory and practice, it helps educators grasp key ideas of global citizenship education (GCED) from Asia-Pacific perspectives, reflect on their relevance to their own contexts, and apply them through concrete activities, stories, cases examples, and instructional strategies. This Guide, which is grounded in the diverse philosophies, religions, and lived realities of the Asia-Pacific region, is intended to serve as a practical companion that helps educators understand GCED from a decolonial perspective, adapt its ideas to their own contexts, and translate it all into meaningful learning experiences for their learners. It is our sincere hope that this Guide fosters ongoing dialogue, experimentation, and collaboration, and that it contributes to nurturing learners who think critically, act with empathy and justice, and participate responsibly in shaping a more harmonious and sustainable world.
