Countering Terrorism through Education of Populations: The Case of African Countries Year of publication: 2011 Author: Simon M. Lelo Terrorism has become a major concern of current governments. African countries are also involved in counter- terrorism but, due to several internal security and development problems, their effective participation in the combat against terrorism is very limited. They need capacity and skills in order to participate actively in countering terrorism. Education is one of the most appropriate ways for preparing African countries to prevent terrorism. Education provides not only knowledge but also capacity to make informed decisions, strategies and policies. The international community should help African countries to strengthen their education through specialized and general training programmes. Countering Terrorism through Education of Populations: The Case of African Countries Year of publication: 2011 Author: Simon M. Lelo Le terrorisme est devenu un enjeu de premier ordre pour les gouvernements actuels. Les pays africains prennent également part à la lutte contre le terrorisme ; cependant, à cause de problèmes de sécurité nationale et de développement, leur participation effective dans le combat contre le terrorisme reste très limitée. Ces pays manquent de moyen pour pouvoir y participer de manière plus active. Ainsi, l'éducation doit être privilégiée afin de soutenir les efforts de prévention dans les pays africains. L’éducation n'apporte pas seulement des connaissances aux apprenants, elle permet également de prendre des décisions, et de mettre en place des stratégies et des mesures de manière informée. La communauté internationale doit aider les pays africains à renforcer leurs systèmes éducatifs à travers divers programmes de formation.

Education as a Security Issue Author: Ian Jamison Corporate author: Tony Blair Faith Foundation The use of education as both tool and target of religious extremists globally is perhaps one of the most important generational challenges we face today. To ensure that the next generation is open to a more pluralistic world, we must ensure that their education equips them to safely encounter the 'Other'. This not only means improving knowledge, understanding and interaction, but also critically requires investment in developing essential soft skills that can ensure these are properly employed. Education as a Security Issue Author: Ian Jamison Corporate author: Tony Blair Faith Foundation Le recours des extrémistes religieux à l'éducation comme, à la fois, outil et cible est peut-être l'un des défis les plus importants de cette génération, auquel nous sommes confrontés aujourd'hui dans le monde. Pour que la prochaine génération soit ouverte à un monde plus pluraliste, nous devons veiller à ce que leur éducation les prépare à des échanges pacifiques avec « l’Autre ». Cela signifie non seulement d’améliorer les connaissances, la compréhension et l'interaction, mais aussi d’investir urgemment dans le développement des compétences générales essentielles qui en garantissent une bonne utilisation. 
평등교육실천론 Year of publication: 2020 Author: 백병부 | 권순정 | 심재휘 | 윤선인 | 이혜정 Corporate author: 경기도교육연구원 이 연구는 평등과 관련된 교육 영역에서의 논의가 가지고 있는 한계를 극복하기 위해서 수행되었다. 즉 기존의 논의는 대체로 능력주의를 전제로 교육기회의 분배 실태와 구조를 분석하는 데 집중하고 있다는 것이다. 구체적으로 이 연구에서는 독립적이고 이성적인 존재로 인간을 규정했던 근대적 인간관을 의존적이고 관계적인 존재로 전환해야 한다고 주장했다. 이 연구에서는 정의의 개념이 확장되어온 과정을 정리함으로써 평등이 적용되어야 할 영역의 다차원성을 확인하고, 앞에서 정리한 현대철학의 인간관에 근거하여 평등의 영역을 경제적 자원이나 사회적 지위뿐만 아니라 사회적 인정과 정치적 대표, 애정, 돌봄 등과 같은 정동적 영역으로 확장할 수 있음을 정리하였다. 마지막으로 이 연구에서는 기존의 평등에 대한 논의가 국민국가를 배경으로 하고 있기 때문에 여러 한계를 안고 있음을 지적하고, 세계시민교육과 평화교육의 맥락에서 평등의 적용 범위가 지구공동체 전체로 확장되어야 한다는 점을 강조하였다. 출처: 경기도교육연구원 홈페이지 
Inquiry into practice: learning and teaching global matters in local classrooms Year of publication: 2014 Author: David Montemurro | Mira Gambhir | Mark Evans | Kathryn Broad Corporate author: University of Toronto. Ontario Institute for Studies in Education This Inquiry into Practice publication, Learning and Teaching Global Matters in Local Classrooms, is the most recent addition to the series. It examines and shares varied perspectives, curricula, instructional practices, and resources intended to enhance student learning related to the infusion of global and international dimensions of education into classroom and schoolwide teaching and learning. It is organized in three sections: Educator Perspectives, Inquiry into Practice, and Resources. In this introduction, we briefly discuss how the text is organized, common themes that emerged across the sections, and concluding reflections.The first section, Educator Perspectives, provides insights from a range of university scholars and fieldbased leaders who, in multiple and distinct ways, have made learning and teaching about global matters in local classrooms a core feature of their work. Each was invited to comment on purposes, opportunities, and challenges related to infusing global and international dimensions into teaching and learning. Therefore, this section offers both contrasting conceptual perspectives and concrete suggestions that can impress the reader with a sense of urgency, critique, hope, and challenge when engaging in the complex and shifting work of teaching and learning about global matters.The second section, Inquiry into Practice, presents the 11 school-based and university-linked professional inquiries undertaken over a two-year period. The inquiries focus on a range of topics including critical global citizenship, the use of children’s literature to develop students’ understanding of sustainability in science education, and the refugee experience in personal and global understanding of “home.” The inquiries were carried out mostly with OISE partner schools and districts located in the city of Toronto and the GTA (regional municipalities including Durham, Halton, Peel, and York). This region of Canada provides a distinctly international, diverse context for this type of study. Local schools and districts linked with OISE’s Initial Teacher Education program have become sites of fascinating explorations into the possibilities of learning and teaching in pluralist contexts. The collection of inquiries in this publication speaks to the process of crossing borders demarcated by tangibles such as regions, nationalities, citizenship, and also by less tangible mindsets, identities, beliefs, and understandings. The voices across the project represent stakeholders in education: including voices of youth, beginning and experienced teachers, administrators, and researchers.The Resources section provides an annotated bibliography of print, media, and web resources to support those interested in teaching with global perspectives in mind. Recommended by project leaders and participants, by the authors, and by experts with various lenses, these resources are offered as a means to extend the exploration of the topics, ideas, and questions posed throughout the publication. The contribution of "study abroad" programs to Japanese internationalization Year of publication: 2009 Author: Takako Asaoka | Jun Yano “Study abroad” needs promoting, as it is an effective alternative for many Japanese university students to enhance their international experience and cross-cultural understanding, thus contributing to the internationalization of Japanese universities. To consider what has to be done to promote “study abroad” programs, this research attempts to ascertain (a) the characteristics of the “study abroad” program of Japanese university students, (b) what Japanese university students think about the “study abroad” program, (c) the factors discouraging them from studying abroad, and (d) suggestions made by university staff to promote “study abroad” programs. Online survey results of 173 Japanese university students, interview answers and monthly reports of 20 Japanese university exchange students, opinions of 15 JAFSA members, and the JASSO symposium reports from 2005 to 2007 were used as data for this study. Suggestions are made to enable Japanese university staff to further promote “study abroad” programs among their students.
