A Case Study on the Possible Contribution of Global Citizenship Concept to Education for Sustainable Development (Environmental Education; Vol. 31, No.1) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Seyoung Hwang Corporate author: Korean Society for Environmental Education The aim of this study was to explore the ways in which the recent discussion on global citizenship education could contribute to the discursive possibility of education that addresses cultural diversity and co-existence which had not been considered much in the education for sustainable development (ESD) field. For that, the study showed how the formative experience of global citizen identity as the core concept of global citizenship can be a significant learning experience for ESD. The case studies included UNESCO school activity, school club activity, international volunteering activity and local cultural exchange activity. Based on the interviews with participants, the study found out that they were in the state of accepting or orienting themselves toward global citizen identity. The study also identified the kinds of qualitative experiences affecting such identity formation as facing and reflecting on one’s own cultural bias, intercultural sympathy, participation and action beyond mere knowledge acquisition, self-directed participation and achievement, lack of reflection in the one’ own life context as a global citizen, and conflict with the values embedded in the competition-driven lifestyle. Based on the result, the potential and meanings of the ESD focused on global citizen identity were discussed. 세계시민의식 개념의 지속가능발전교육 기여 가능성에 대한 질적 사례연구 (환경교육; Vol. 31, No. 1) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Seyoung Hwang Corporate author: Korean Society for Environmental Education 본 연구의 목적은 최근 세계시민교육에 대한 활발한 논의와 실천이 그간 지속가능발전교육에서 간과되어왔던 문화 다양성 존중과 공존과 관련된 교육적 논의를 확산하는데 어떻게 기여할 수 있는지를 탐색하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 세계시민의식의 핵심 개념인 세계시민 정체성(global citizen identity)의 형성이 지속가능발전교육의 중요한 학습 경험이 될 수 있다는 것을 연구 사례를 통해 보여주고자 하였다. 이를 위해 유네스코학교활동, 동아리, 해외자원봉사활동, 지역문화교류활동 등의 4가지프로그램 사례에 대한 질적 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 참여자들은 세계시민 정체성을 수용 또는 지향하는 과정에 있었으며, 이에 영향을 주는 질적 경험에는 문화적 편견에 대한 직시와 성찰, 타문화권 사람들과의 정서적 교감, 지식만이 아닌 참여와 실천, 자기 주도적 참여와 성취, 개인 관심사와 연결, 내 삶 안에서 세계시민으로서의 성찰 부족, 경쟁위주의 삶의 양식과의 가치 충돌 등이 있음을 파악하였다. 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로, 지속가능발전교육에서 세계시민의식의 형성을 핵심 목표로 삼는 교육적 접근의 가능성과 의미를 논의하였다. 
The Emergence of Global Citizenship Education in Colombia: Lessons Learned From Existing Education Policy (Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education; Vol. 50, No. 6) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Jana De Poorter | Nicolás Aguilar-Forero Corporate author: Taylor & Francis Colombia has joined the international movement of countries which, under the impulse of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), are looking to integrate global citizenship education (GCED) into their educational system. However, being a recently emerging initiative, the characteristics and possible effects of GCED have not been discussed sufficiently in academia, nor among policy makers. This paper presents a critical discourse analysis of the most recent antecedents of GCED to be found in Colombian education policy. It thereby contributes to the national and international debate surrounding the integration of GCED in contexts that differ from those of Western and ‘developed’ countries, which have been the main focus of GCED research and interventions to date. It is argued that, in the case of Colombia, educational initiatives that are based on critical approaches to GCED should be recuperated and strengthened, since these initiatives provide powerful clues for a truly transformative integration of GCED in the country. 
Do the Conditions in Chinese Secondary School Education Imply a Need for Global Citizenship Education? an Exploration of Six Secondary Schools in Jiangsu (Asia Pacifc Education Review; Rev. 21) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Yi Hong Corporate author: Seoul National University. Education Research Institute Global citizenship education (GCE), an educational advocacy for students to attain the competencies of being aware of and actively engaged in defending social justice, equity and sustainable development at both local and global levels, is difficult to achieve in practice. The failure can be attributed to inadequate knowledge of different effects of GCE when it is used to meet specific needs of local schools. Identifying local schools’ needs for GCE may help educators put GCE to good use. However, few studies explore and justify the role of a local insight in assisting in GCE implementation, especially regarding the situation in China where inconsistencies are found across curriculum documents, research and educational practices. The present study fills the gap by investigating the schools’ needs for GCE at secondary level within the Chinese education system. With the assistance of principals (n = 6) and teachers (n = 10) from six participating schools in an anonymous city in Jiangsu province, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and then analysed abductively using the grounded theory approach. Analysis was initially framed by employing criteria from a curriculum development method, namely situational analysis, based on which further analysis was conducted to synthesise more abstract themes. As a result, four general conditions emerged from the data, including three restrictive conditions that may prevent GCE integration (i.e. ‘compliance and commitment’, ‘social mobility’ and ‘administrative constraints’) and one condition that can encourage GCE implementation (i.e. ‘competency-based education’). Since GCE is a complex idea linked to many possible applications, the four key conditions revealed from the small sample in the present study can enrich researchers’ understanding of the potentiality of GCE implementation in similar moderately developed cities on the east coast of China. 
The Theoretical Foundation and Ideological Background of the Citizenship Curriculum Reform in England (Studies in Foreign Education; Vol. 46, No. 7) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Chen Lin Corporate author: Northeast Normal University Citizenship became part of the compulsory courses of secondary schools in England in 2002. The guideline was revised in 2014. Fierce academic debates shaped the curriculum reform. Political theory of political conflict mediation and political participative equality played an important role in promoting the legalization of Citizenship education. The wide acceptance of social capital theory also helps to win the necessary support. The current curriculum is a mixture of various ideologies such as socialism, republicanism and communitarianism. This multi-feature provides both pragmatic conditions for the curriculum’s legalization and challenges for its implementation. 
International Exchange and Cooperation Programs as Global Citizenship Education: A Case Study of the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education (Journal of Education for International Understanding; Vol. 14, No. 2) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Inyoung Lee | Youyeon Kim | Jeongmin Moon | Kyubin Lee | Sungsang Yoo Corporate author: Korean Society of Education for International Understanding (KOSEIU) This study examines the implementation of international exchange programs conducted within public education, focusing on the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education from the standpoint of global citizenship education. It also proposes the feasibility and direction of international exchange programs based on the analytical framework that analyses the global citizenship education as the competency-based approach, moral approach, and critical approach. The research questions are: first, 'what is the aspects of the implementation of international exchange programs in terms of global citizenship education?' and second, 'what is the possibility of implementing international exchange programs as global citizenship education?' To find the answer to the questions, documents related to the international exchange program and data from interviews with the person in charge and the participants of programs were analyzed. This paper found that there is a feasibility for implementing the competency-based approach and moral approach in the international exchange programs. However, in order to invigorate international exchange as the practice of global citizenship education, it is recommended that: first, international exchange from the viewpoint of critical approach should be developed. Second, every student should have the opportunity to participate in the programs regardless of their economic status. Lastly, target nations for international exchange should be chosen not only from the competency-based approach but from the various perspective of global citizenship education.
