Citoyenneté, identité et de l'éducation: l'examen des fins publiques des écoles à l'ère de la mondialisation Year of publication: 2006 Author: Fernando Reimers Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) Les établissements d'enseignement existent pour parvenir à des fins publiques. L'un de ces objectifs est de développer la citoyenneté. Au 21e siècle, la citoyenneté comprend la citoyenneté mondiale. Dans une ère de mondialisation citoyenneté effective comprend les connaissances, la capacité et la disposition à engager pacifique et constructive entre les différences culturelles aux fins de répondre aux besoins personnels et collectifs et de réaliser des interactions humaines-environnementales durables, ce qui nécessite l'intériorisation des valeurs globales. Pour relever ces défis de la mondialisation, il faudra faire de l'éducation à la citoyenneté et le développement des valeurs mondiales un objectif explicite des efforts pour améliorer la qualité dans le monde entier, l'examen critique des théories et des preuves sur l'efficacité des différentes approches pour développer la citoyenneté et la citoyenneté mondiale et soutenir les activités alignées cet effet public. Cet objectif public devrait soutenir le développement d'une culture politique qui favorise la primauté du droit national et international et le respect des droits de l'homme, le développement de la compréhension pour soutenir le commerce et la diplomatie bilatérale et internationale économique et pacifique comme le moyen privilégié pour résoudre les conflits internationaux, le développement de la capacité à comprendre et à relever les défis environnementaux humanité face à de graves et de collaborer à travers les frontières nationales dans la création de formes durables d'interactions homme-environnement et dans le développement des compétences pour promouvoir la rationalité dans la délibération et de l'action, et de faire avancer la science et la technologie comme moyen d'améliorer la santé humaine et le bien-être. À l'heure actuelle, cependant, de nombreux systèmes d'éducation et les réformes ne sont pas suffisamment axées sur la qualité, ou se concentrent plutôt sur une définition très étroite et auto-référencé de la qualité. Il est possible d'éduquer les gens à comprendre et à apprécier les différences culturelles et à comprendre et à acept droits de l'homme dans un cadre de valeurs globales qui comprend la compassion et la compassion, le souci des autres, le respect et la réciprocité. Ces valeurs, les dispositions, les connaissances et les compétences peuvent être développées dans un éventail d'institutions que les sociétés doivent passer sur ce qu'ils apprécient le jeune, et de recréer la culture: les familles, les institutions religieuses, les médias, les milieux de travail, les institutions politiques et aussi écoles. Bien qu'il n'y ait aucune raison de supposer que les écoles peuvent être plus efficaces dans cette tâche que l'une de ces autres institutions, ils ont un plus grand potentiel pour être aligné avec les efforts transnationaux visant à promouvoir la civilité mondiale. Ils sont un espace public, et par conséquent aussi un espace public à l'échelle mondiale, dans les façons dont les familles et les institutions religieuses ne sont pas. Si les écoles participent activement à l'enseignement à la haine ou l'intolérance, ou si elles ne parviennent pas à préparer les étudiants de manière adéquate pour la civilité mondiale, ces échecs peuvent être notées par les institutions internationales qui peuvent potentiellement mobiliser des ressources pour soutenir les efforts nationaux et locaux pour préparer les élèves à la citoyenneté mondiale. Il n'y a pas un réseau similaire reliant les institutions nationales et transnationales, publiques et privées, gouvernementales et non-gouvernementales, qui assiste à la dynamique des familles et d'autres «espaces» «privés».

Education: global citizenship education in context Corporate author: Global Hive In a fast-changing and globalized reality, there are many who believe that education can, and should, help young people to meet the challenges they will confront now and in the future, and that educating for global citizenship is now more important and urgent than ever before. Upon reflection back over this decade of work, however, there is an indication that not a lot of progress has been made in expanding education for global citizenship (Schulz, 2007; Canadian Council for International Cooperation, 2004). In the early 1990s, with the financial assistance of the Canadian International Development Agency and inspired by visions of global solidarity, Canadian schools and community organizations joined together in efforts to educate students on global society, though since then funding has been cut drastically, and coordinated efforts across sectors have decreased, as schools and NGOs face their own budget cuts. In a recent poll conducted by VisionCritical and the Inter-Council Network of Provincial and Regional Councils for Global Cooperation, it was found that one third of Canadians rank global poverty (hunger in the world) among the first, second and third most concerning issues to them globally. Moreover, the majority of Canadians believe there is a human rights obligation to reduce global poverty, and believe there are significant benefits to doing so, including improving Canada’s international reputation, reducing global conflict, and reducing risks of pandemics. Global Citizenship Education is essential for the following reasons: Education for Global Citizenship gives young people access to the knowledge, understanding, skills, and values that they need to participate fully in ensuring their own and others’ well-being, and to make a positive contribution both locally and globally. Global Citizenship Education involves children and youth fully in their own learning through the use of a range of activities and participatory learning methods. This engages the learner, but also develops confidence, self-esteem, and skills of critical thinking, communication, cooperation and conflict resolution. Current use of the world’s resources is inequitable and unsustainable. As the gap between the rich and the poor widens, poverty continues to deny millions of people around the world their basic human rights. Education is a powerful tool for changing the world because tomorrow’s adults are the children and youth we are educating today. For teachers interested in promoting global citizenship, the next and most immediate question is how: How can I integrate and teach global citizenship education when I have so many other pressing curriculum requirements to get through with my students? How does Global Citizenship Education relate to English Language Arts or Physical Education? This toolkit seeks to provide information on how global citizenship education can be integrated into many areas of the curriculum, offer some tools and methods by which to do so, and present some illustrative case studies to provide inspiration and guidance.

The construction of ecological civilization requires education to cultivate the ecological citizens of the times.
