Learning to Read the World?: Teaching and Learning about Global Citizenship and International Development in Post-Primary Schools Year of publication: 2011 Author: Audrey Bryan | Meliosa Bracken Corporate author: Irish Aid This is the first published study of its kind in an Irish context, offering combined insights into the status and practice of Development Education in post-primary schools as well as an interrogation of how development issues are represented in the formal curriculum. It adopted a qualitative approach, enabling a rich description of what Development Education looks like in an Irish context and how it is understood in post-primary schools, as well as an in-depth exploration of teachers’ experiences and views about ‘doing’ Development Education in post-primary settings. Combining an analysis of curriculum materials (including 75 lesson plans and a similar number of textbooks) as well as in-depth interviews with 26 in-career teachers currently teaching Development Education in a broad and diverse cross-section of post-primary schools, the study provides a comprehensive portrait of Global Citizenship Education in Irish second-level schools. The overall aim of the research was to identify the strengths, possibilities and limits in existing pedagogical and curricular approaches to Development Education across a range of subjects at post-primary level in Ireland.

SDG 4 - Policies for flexible learning pathways in higher education: Taking stock of good practices internationally (IIEP-UNESCO Working Papers) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Michaela Martin | Ana Godonoga Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) This paper draws on country examples across different UNESCO regions to illustrate policy-relevant as well as practical approaches to developing flexible learning pathways in higher education. It shows that policies can facilitate flexible learning pathways include legislative and regulatory frameworks, articulation and transfer policies, and lifelong learning policies. It also presents a number of supportive policy instruments that can serve to bridge policy and practice, such as national qualifications frameworks, quality assurance and accreditation, credit accumulation and transfer systems, and information and guidance services. Finally, apart from discussing system-wide approaches, this paper also gives examples of more decentralized, institution-led practices that contribute to flexible learning pathways. This paper concludes that well-designed policy frameworks and instruments and targeted measures can create an enabling environment for flexible learning pathways, but their effectiveness requires strong administrative capacity and coordination, as well as the involvement of all relevant stakeholders, including those who design, implement, and benefit from policies. It is also essential that policies, instruments, and practices are in alignment with one another and work towards a common objective. Therefore, a holistic approach, comprising an adequate and well-coordinated mix of policies, instruments, and targeted measures, is required, in order to translate flexible learning pathways from a national priority into an institutionalized practice that reaches its intended beneficiaries.
Acteurs et partenariats dans le secteur de la formation professionnelle Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO IIEP Regional Office for Africa | Institut de la Francophonie pour l'éducation et la formation (IFEF) Une des voies reconnues pour améliorer l'efficacité des systèmes de formation professionnelle est le développement de partenariats entre acteurs publics, acteurs privés et société civile. Mais qu'entend-t-on précisément par partenariats ? Et sous quelles formes sont-ils les plus efficaces ? La diversité des contextes nationaux et locaux montre combien le domaine de la formation professionnelle est complexe et multidimensionnel. Dès lors, il est important de clarifier les types de partenariats à mettre en place, les domaines d'interventions des acteurs, ainsi que leurs rôles respectifs. Pour cette étude, l'IIPE-Pôle de Dakar et l'IFEF ont associé leur expertise dans le but d'appréhender les processus-clés de la formation professionnelle et d'offrir un portrait global des différents types de partenariats envisageables.
