A Study on Contextualization of Global Education Agenda: Focusing on Education Policies of Global Citizenship Education in South Korea (The Journal of Korean Education; Vol.46, No.3) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Insun Jeon Corporate author: Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI) This study aims to provide a concrete discussion on contextualization of global education agenda with the case of Global Citizenship Education(GCED) policies in South Korea.Design/Methodology: With a theoretical approach based on neoinstitutionalism, this study investigates influential factors in determining the direction and key words of GCED policies in policy-making process. Policy documents of Ministry of Education, the local education authority of Seoul city, Kyeonggi-province, Incheon city and the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding of UNESCO, and the speeches of key stakeholders such as presidents, ministers and superintendents from 2014 to April 2019 are analyzed by using KHcoder for text mining and mapping. Semi-structured interviews are conducted with experts to supplement the text analysis.Findings/Result: The result shows that the influence of key stakeholders on directing GCED policies is significant. By and large, GCED is re-defined by purpose in the socio-political context of South Korea, which contributes to the expansion of GCED but also results in inconsistency and fragmentation.Value: This study shows a limit of the top-down approach to GCED policy decisions, and the necessity to allow more bottom-up proposals, transparency of the policy-making process, the participation of diverse groups and ongoing discussions focusing on the process of contextualization for future GCED.

Development of Global Citizenship Education Competence Scale for Early Childhood Teacher (The Journal of Korean Teacher Education; Vol.35, No.4) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Jeoungsook Kim | Kyeonghwa Lee Corporate author: Korean Society for the Study of Teacher Education The study aims to develop a scale to identify and measure the early childhood teacher’s competence for global citizenship education. In order to construct the factors of the teacher’s competence for global citizenship education, conceptualization of the competence was made based on the review of literatures, and then the preliminary scale was constructed through 3 time-Delphi survey of 34 expert panels. The content analysis and statistical analysis (content validity, consensus, and convergence) of the data collected through the Delphi survey revealed that the final version of the scale with 2 domains, 5 factors and 33 items was derived. Then, in order to validate the final version of the scale, the tests with early childhood teachers were carried out. The data collected through the final test of 294 early childhood teachers were statistically analyzed through the ratio of content reliability, validity, and reliability. The analysis was confirmed that the scale was a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the early childhood teacher’s competence for global citizenship education. In conclusion, the scale developed in this study consisted of two domains: the competence as a global citizen and the competence as a early childhood teacher to carry out global citizen education for young children. The global citizenship competence consists of 3 factors and 20 items, and the global citizenship education competence for young children consists of 2 factors and 13 items. Lastly, the possibility of using the scale for early childhood teacher education was discussed.

Cosmopolitan Sidestep: University Life, Intimate Geopolitics and the Hidden Costs of “Global” Citizenship (Area; Vol. 51, No. 4) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Mike Dimpfl | Sara Smith Corporate author: Royal Geographical Society | Wiley In higher education in the US today, particular practices of global engagement are positioned as essential to student learning. Institutional stakeholders foreground the potential of outward‐facing orientation to the globe while sidestepping local connections to racial inequality and injustice foregrounded by student and waged‐worker activism. Faculty and student composition, course content and hierarchies of waged work have been targeted by activists from within and without. In this example, relations between labour, students and administrators at a large southern research university in the USA reveal the mechanisms by which especially neoliberal cosmopolitanisms require an intentional and narrow rendering of what and who counts in the production of campus life. A discussion of student activism and changes to housekeeping work practices reveal how power is produced and divided by controlling and corralling particular kinds of social reproductive labour. In light of the redistribution and erasure of this labour, we argue that US universities are geopolitical in nature, shaping young people's orientations to an imagined global citizenship to create a specific form of cosmopolitanism that centres whiteness and makes claim to a globally oriented generosity rather than a justice‐oriented framework with explicit connections to the breadth of waged work undergirding university life and practice. To create this possibility, the university frequently side‐steps complex interconnections between student life and systems of racialised, ethnicised and gendered exploitation in local spaces in favour of a focus of similar inequalities in the world “out there.”
