The Institutionalization of Global Citizenship Education as a Global Policy Agenda (Journal of Education for International Understanding; Vol. 15, No. 2) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Jonghun Kim Corporate author: Korean Society of Education for International Understanding (KOSEIU) The purpose of this study was to examine the driving forces that affect the global diffusion and institutionalization of Global Citizenship Education (GCED), which is rapidly emerging as an important global education agenda. In order to achieve the objective of this study, driving forces affecting the diffusion and institutionalization of GCED were categorized into three perspectives, namely, sociocultural perspective, international economic perspective and institutional perspective. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The main findings of this study are as follows. First, the degree of sociocultural diversity that represents sociocultural perspective did not have a statistically significant effect on education policies, curriculum and teacher education on GCED in each country. Second, the degree of dependence on international economic relations, which shows international economic perspective, had a positive statistically significant effect on the curriculum of GCED in countries around the world but it did not have a statistically significant effect on education policy and teacher education of GCED. Third, the degree of linkage to the global civil society that represents institutional perspective has a positive statistically significant effect on the GCED education policies, curricula and teacher education of different countries around the world. The results of this study show that institutional perspectives are more persuasive drivers of the spread and institutionalization of GCED in individual countries than from sociocultural perspective and international economic perspective. The result of this study shows that the adoption of policies for GCED is an institutional embodiment reflecting education norms and values at the global level embedded in an institutional environment of the world society rather than instrumental means that meet immediate and concrete socioeconomic needs and demands of individual countries. This study is of significance in that it has identified the driving forces for the diffusion and institutionalization of GCED through empirical analysis. 세계시민교육의 제도화에 관한 연구 (국제이해교육연구; Vol. 15, No. 2) Year of publication: 2020 Author: 김종훈 Corporate author: 한국국제이해교육학회 본 연구는 전세계적으로 중요한 교육정책 의제로 급부상한 세계시민교육의 확산 및 제도화에 영향을 미치는 동인을 밝히는 것이었다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하고자 세계시민교육의 확산 및 제도화에 영향을 미치는 동인을 사회문화적 관점과 국제경제적 관점, 제도주의적 관점으로 구분하고, 다중회귀분석을 사용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사회문화적 관점을 나타내는 사회문화적 다양성 수준은 세계 각국의 세계시민교육의 교육정책과 교육과정, 교사교육에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 국제경제적 관점을 보여주는 국제경제 관계 의존 정도는 세계 각국의 세계시민교육의 교육과정에는 통계적으로 유의한 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으나, 세계시민교육의 교육정책과 교사교육에는 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 제도주의적 관점을 보여주는 세계시민사회와의 연계 정도는 세계 각국의 세계시민교육의 교육정책과 교육과정, 교사교육에 통계적으로 유의한 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구결과는 제도주의적 관점이 사회문화적 관점과 국제경제적 관점보다 개별 국가의 세계시민교육의 확산 및 제도화의 동인으로서 보다 많은 설득력을 지니고 있음을 보여준다. 본 연구결과는 세계시민교육의 정책 도입과 추진이 개별 국가 내부의 특수한 사회문화적·경제적 필요와 요구를 충족시키는 기능적 산물이라기보다 세계사회의 제도적 환경 속에서 배태된 세계수준의 교육규범과 가치를 반영하는 제도적 구성물이라는 점을 시사하고 있다. 본 연구는 세계시민교육의 확산 및 제도화에 미치는 동인을 실증적 분석을 통해 규명했다는 점에서 의미가 있다.
