Citizenship education in Latin America: priorities of school curricula (IBE working papers on curriculum issues no. 14) Year of publication: 2014 Author: Cristián Cox | Martín Bascopé | Juan Carlos Castillo | Daniel Miranda | Macarena Bonhomme Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) This work focuses on the curricula of six Latin American countries – Colombia, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico and Paraguay – which at the close of the past decade agreed to be part of the project Regional System of Evaluation and Development of Citizenship Competencies (SREDECC). With the support of the Inter-American Development Bank, SREDECC developed the Latin American module of the International Civic and Citizenship Study (ICCS- 2009) undertaken by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), in addition to encouraging the participation of the countries in that study (Cox 2010; Schulz, Ainley, Friedman and Lietz 2011).This document comprises four parts. The first section takes stock of the state of democratic belief in the region, drawing upon the most significant opinion studies of the past decade, so as to offer broader meaning bases for curriculum analysis and, more generally, for educational work in the field of citizenship. The second section describes the organizational (or structural) characteristics of the curricula of the six countries and presents a framework of categories for their comparative analysis. The subsequent section describes and analyses the contents of the six curricula examined and how they deal with the values, institutions and citizenship relations in their civic (political) and civil (coexistence) dimensions. On the basis of the most significant findings, the closing section includes some reflections regarding curriculum development with regard to citizenship. Éducation à la Citoyenneté en Amérique latine: les priorités de programmes scolaires(BIE papiers de travail sur les questions de curriculum no.14) Year of publication: 2014 Author: Cristián Cox | Martín Bascopé | Juan Carlos Castillo | Daniel Miranda | Macarena Bonhomme Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) Ce travail se concentre sur les programmes de six pays d'Amérique latine - Colombie, le Chili, la République dominicaine, le Guatemala, le Mexique et le Paraguay - qui à la fin de la dernière décennie aCECpté de faire partie du projet de système régional d'évaluation et de développement des compétences citoyennes (SREDECC).

Ce document comprend quatre parties. La première section fait le point sur l'état de croyance démocratique dans la région, en tirant sur les études d'évaluation les plus importants de la dernière décennie, de manière à offrir la base de sens plus large pour l'analyse des programmes et, plus généralement, pour le travail éducatif dans le domaine de la citoyenneté . La deuxième section décrit les caractéristiques organisationnelles (ou structurelles) des programmes d'études des six clubs de pays et présente un cadre de catégories pour leur analyse comparative. La section suivante décrit le contenu et les analyses des six programmes examinés et comment ils traitent avec les valeurs, les institutions et les relations de citoyenneté dans leurs civiques (politiques) et civiles (coexistence) dimensions. Sur la base des conclusions les plus importantes, la section de fermeture comprend quelques réflexions concernant le développement de curriculum vitae à l'égard de la citoyenneté.

Education and Climate Change: Learning to Act for People and Planet Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | Monitoring and Evaluating Climate Communication and Education Project (MECCE) | University of Sakatchewan How can education lead to climate change action?Despite strong evidence on the impact of education on other development outcomes and the role it plays in developing professional capacity for sustainable development transitions, education is often absent from other sectors’ strategic, policy, planning and financing considerations. The Global Education Monitoring Report is introducing a new series to advance dialogue on the interrelationship of education with the other Sustainable Development Goals.The first paper in the series focuses on climate change. It starts by reviewing the growing impact of climate change on education before turning to the role of education in climate action. Education has a somewhat underappreciated contribution to developing professional capacities for the transition to a green economy. Formal, non-formal and informal learning are also commonly believed to be playing a critical role in motivating actions on climate change mitigation and adaptation.Yet a positive association between education attainment and unsustainable consumption levels, as well as inconclusiveness of much research on the direct impact of education on climate change adaptation and mitigation actions has in part contributed to education receiving low priority in global and national climate change agendas.This paper argues that climate change education needs to adapt to fulfil its potential. The education paradigm cannot rely solely on knowledge transfer but needs to focus on social and emotional, and action-oriented learning.Much of the research has focused on the impact of education attainment and cognitive learning. More research is therefore needed to assess other drivers through which education can influence behaviours and motivate climate change action. Such research is needed to formulate viable education reform packages that improve the curriculum, strengthen climate-readiness of schools and education systems, engage learners and prepare educators accordingly. 
Educación y cambio climático: aprender a cuidar de las personas y el planeta Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | Monitoring and Evaluating Climate Communication and Education Project (MECCE) | University of Sakatchewan ¿Cómo puede la educación conducir a la acción contra el cambio climático?A pesar de las sólidas pruebas existentes sobre la repercusión de la educación en el logro de otros objetivos de desarrollo y la función que desempeña en el desarrollo de la capacidad profesional para las transiciones hacia el desarrollo sostenible, la educación suele estar ausente de las consideraciones estratégicas, políticas, de planificación y de financiación de otros sectores.El Informe de seguimiento de la educación en el mundo presenta una nueva serie destinada a fomentar el diálogo sobre la interrelación de la educación con los demás Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. El primer documento de la serie se centra en el cambio climático, y empieza por analizar el creciente impacto del cambio climático en la educación antes de pasar a abordar la función de la educación en la acción climática.La contribución de la educación al desarrollo de capacidades profesionales para la transición a una economía verde está en cierta medida infravalorada. Al mismo tiempo, existe la conciencia de que el aprendizaje, tanto formal como no formal e informal, desempeña una función esencial a la hora de motivar la acción en materia de mitigación del cambio climático y adaptación a sus efectos.Sin embargo, la existencia de una correlación positiva entre el nivel de educación y los niveles de consumo insostenibles, así como la falta de conclusiones de muchas investigaciones sobre la repercusión directa de la educación en la mitigación del cambio climático y la adaptación a sus efectos, han contribuido en parte a que se otorgue escasa prioridad a la educación en las agendas mundiales y nacionales sobre el cambio climático.En este documento se sostiene que es necesario adaptar la educación sobre el cambio climático para que desarrolle todo su potencial. El paradigma educativo no puede basarse únicamente en la transferencia de conocimientos, sino que debe centrarse en el aprendizaje socioemocional y orientado a la acción. Gran parte de la investigación se ha centrado en analizar el logro educativo y los resultados que se alcanzan mediante el aprendizaje cognitivo. Por ello, es necesario seguir investigando para evaluar otros factores mediante los cuales la educación puede influir en los comportamientos y motivar la acción contra el cambio climático. Estas investigaciones son necesarias para formular paquetes de reformas educativas viables que mejoren los planes de estudios, refuercen la preparación de las escuelas y los sistemas educativos para el cambio climático, impliquen a los educandos y preparen a los educadores en consecuencia.
