Global Citizenship Education in a Secondary Geography Course: The Students’ Perspectives (Review of International Geographical Education Online; Vol. 4, No. 2) Year of publication: 2014 Author: Kyle Massey Corporate author: Eskisehir Osmangazi University Global citizenship education is increasingly appreciated in Ontario, Canada, as an important component of formal schooling. Although all disciplinary areas have a role to play in global citizenship education, geography provides an especially relevant context in which to foster the values and attitudes often cited as important for global citizenship. This study investigates how Grade 12 students, who had recently completed the course “Canadian and World Issues: A Geographic Analysis”, conceive of the concept of global citizenship, and experienced its values within this course. Qualitative data was collected through interviews with seven students. The interviews revealed four major themes relating to how the students conceptualized global citizenship: global awareness, belonging, caring, and commitment to action. It revealed students’ personal involvement with the concepts studied helped them learn to be global citizens, as did the rich discussions of global issues they experienced in class. Careful analysis of both students’ conceptions of global citizenship and how they experienced global citizenship in the curriculum exposed an uncritical perspective – one which emphasizes acts of charity and volunteerism rather than a commitment to social justice. The findings are valuable to teachers and teacher candidates seeking to better engage their students in global issues and equip them with global thinking strategies, and to curriculum developers wishing to effectively incorporate values and topics concerning global citizenship within school curricula.

The Connective “Public” and the Chinese Logic of Citizenship Education (Journal of Educational Studies; Vol. 13, No. 2) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Qiu Kunshu | Yan Yajun Corporate author: Beijing Normal University Cultural tradition has pre-conditionality on citizenship education. From the point of view of cultural tradition, the “public” in citizenship education has different meaning in China and the West: Chinese “public” is mainly a kind of connective “public”, while the western “public” mainly means domanial “public”. This lead to the difference in Chinese and modern western main stream values. The former emphasizes the common goodness of the whole society, social responsibility and virtue which is favorable to harmony, while the later emphasizes individualist rights and priority of freedom. They represent two kinds of ethics language and position. It is essential to maintain high cultural awareness for the implementation of citizenship education in China and the localization of exotic “citizenship education”. Guided by Marxism and rooted in Chinese cultural tradition, Chinese citizenship education should be based on “people in relation”, use the actual support of “state-society” cooperation, and offer ultimate concern to “the free and comprehensive development of human”.
