Education in the Time of COVID-19 (COVID-19 Report; ECLAC-UNESCO) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) | UNESCO Santiago The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis in all areas. In the field of education, this emergency has led to the massive closure of face-to-face activities of educational institutions in more than 190 countries in order to prevent the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact. The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has argued that even before the pandemic hit, the social situation in the region was deteriorating, owing to rising rates of poverty and extreme poverty, the persistence of inequalities and growing social discontent. In this context, the crisis will have a profoundly negative impact on the various social sectors, particularly health and education, as well as on employment and poverty. Meanwhile, UNESCO has identified major gaps in educational outcomes, which are related to the unequal distribution of teachers in general, and of the best qualified teachers in particular, to the detriment of lower-income countries and regions and of rural areas, where indigenous and migrant populations tend to be concentrated.In the sphere of education, many of the measures that the region’s countries have adopted in response to the crisis are related to the suspension of face-to-face classes at all levels, which has given rise to three main areas of action: the deployment of distance learning modalities through a variety of formats and platforms (with or without the use of technology); the support and mobilization of education personnel and communities; and concern for the health and overall well-being of students.The aim of this document is to shed light on various consequences that these measures will have on educational communities in the short and medium term, and to offer key recommendations on how to manage those consequences in the best possible manner, drawing attention to opportunities for learning and innovation in the post-pandemic education system. La educación en tiempos de la pandemia de COVID-19 (Inform COVID-19; CEPAL-UNESCO) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) | UNESCO Santiago La pandemia de enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) ha provocado una crisis sin precedentes en todos los ámbitos. En la esfera de la educación, esta emergencia ha dado lugar al cierre masivo de las actividades presenciales de instituciones educativas en más de 190 países con el fin de evitar la propagación del virus y mitigar su impacto.La Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) ha planteado que, incluso antes de enfrentar la pandemia, la situación social en la región se estaba deteriorando, debido al aumento de los índices de pobreza y de pobreza extrema, la persistencia de las desigualdades y un creciente descontento social. En este contexto, la crisis tendrá importantes efectos negativos en los distintos sectores sociales, incluidos particularmente la salud y la educación, así como en el empleo y la evolución de la pobreza. Por su parte, la UNESCO ha identificado grandes brechas en los resultados educativos, que se relacionan con una desigual distribución de los docentes, en general, y de los docentes mejor calificados, en particular, en desmedro de países y regiones con menores ingresos y de zonas rurales, las que suelen concentrar además a población indígena y migrante.En el ámbito educativo, gran parte de las medidas que los países de la región han adoptado ante la crisis se relacionan con la suspensión de las clases presenciales en todos los niveles, lo que ha dado origen a tres campos de acción principales: el despliegue de modalidades de aprendizaje a distancia, mediante la utilización de una diversidad de formatos y plataformas (con o sin uso de tecnología); el apoyo y la movilización del personal y las comunidades educativas, y la atención a la salud y el bienestar integral de las y los estudiantes.El objetivo de este documento es visibilizar la diversidad de consecuencias que estas medidas tendrán sobre las comunidades educativas a corto y mediano plazo, así como plantear las principales recomendaciones para sobrellevar el impacto de la mejor manera posible, proyectando oportunidades para el aprendizaje y la innovación en la educación posterior a la pandemia. 
How Children Living in Poor Informal Settlements in the Greater Accra Region, Ghana, Perceive Global Citizenship (International Journal of Development Education and Global Learning; Vol. 12, No. 1) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Jane Leithead | Steve Humble Corporate author: UCL Press This investigation looks at the antecedents and outcomes of 141 children living in poor informal settlements in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana identifying with global citizenship. It finds that the model of global citizenship devised by Reysen and Katzarska-Miller (2013) is a moderately good fit for this group of children. Structural equation modelling demonstrates that antecedents of global awareness as well as friends and family supporting global citizenship (normative environment) predict the child’s self-identification as a global citizen. This in turn predicts six prosocial traits: intergroup empathy, valuing diversity, social justice, environmental sustainability, intergroup helping and responsibility to act. The research suggests that there may be other elements to a global citizenship model that could be investigated in future research.

Personalized Learning within Teacher Education: A Framework and Guidelines Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) This paper explores the theoretical and practice elements that together inform the concept of personalised learning. These insights are then used to develop a Framework for Personalized Learning within Teacher Education. In addition, the final chapter outlines pedagogical strategies to support the development of personalised learning that were tested during the project within the participating universities.The Framework and Guidelines are intended for use by to teacher educators and their students, as well as by teachers and students in schools, to support the on‐going shift towards a personalised learning and collaborative paradigm which forefronts learner agency and autonomy and encourages learners of all ages to assume increased responsibility for their own learning and achievements.

한반도 세계시민성 담론 연구 Year of publication: 2019 Author: 강순원 | 박명림 | 이우영 | 한경구 Corporate author: 유네스코한국위원회 유네스코한국위원회는 폭력과 갈등을 조장하는 이분법적 구도를 벗어나 서로의 다름을 이해하고 평화의 문화를 확산하는 새로운 포용 담론으로써 ‘한반도 세계시민성’의 가능성을 모색해보고자 합니다. 세계시민성은 지역의 문화적 맥락 속에서 추진될 때 그 사회 사람들에게 보다 쉽게 수용될 수 있습니다. 특히, 한반도처럼 분단이라는 특수한 환경을 가지고 있는 사회는 인류 보편적인 세계시민성을 어떻게 지역의 현실에 반영하고 지구적 현안을 어떻게 지역화 하느냐가 더욱 중요한 문제일 것입니다.한국은 분단 상황 속에서 점차 다문화사회로 변화하고 있습니다. 민족 동질성의 회복과 이질적 문화 수용이라는 이중적 과제를 안고 있는 것입니다. 분단은 한반도의 특수한 환경으로부터 비롯되었지만 오늘날 우리가 살아가는 세계의 상호의존적 맥락을 이해한다면 세계의 보편적 틀 안에서 한반도의 특수성을 담아낼 수 있는 새로운 포용 담론이 필요하다고 할 수 있습니다. ‘한반도 세계시민성 담론 연구’는 이런 배경에서 기획되었습니다.
