Informe de referente regional 2010: oportunidades de aprendizaje escolar de la ciudadanía en América Latina: currículos comparados Year of publication: 2010 Author: Cristián Cox Donoso Corporate author: Sistema Regional de Evaluacion y Desarrollo de Competencias Ciudadanas (SREDECC) This report has three purposes, the first, to describe the contexts and challenges of education for citizenship education in Latin America; secondly, to describe the process of implementation and creation of the Latin American version of the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) test and compare the categories of both evaluation tools; lastly, to characterize, in a comparative way, the citizenship education curricula of Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, and the Dominican Republic. The results of the report rise from the analysis of secondary sources on the socio-educational contexts in which citizenship education is based upon in Latin America, as well as a comparative analysis of the original educational curricula of the six countries of this project. The structure of the chapters and the sections of this document are arranged according to the referred purposes. The first chapter focuses on the sociocultural context of the educational system that is in charge of shaping citizens. Recent evidence on beliefs and democratic practices in the region will be examined. Later, the evolution of the school systems in the last decade and a half will be described. Finally, in order to establish a “base line” on the role of citizenship education in education policy, first the curricula, pedagogies, and teacher formation and evaluation will be examined. The second chapter focuses on the process of generation of the Latin American evaluative method, part of the ICCS test. Then, in a detailed manner, a comparative analysis of the categories or evaluation criteria of both tests will be presented in order to show the predominant opinion of citizenship education in the 6 countries. Trying to identify certain patterns, the report concludes with a chapter that makes interpretations and projections about the tendencies observed in current curricula and propose new criteria for the development of new education curricula. 2nd European congress on global education: education, interdependence and solidarity in a changing world; final report Year of publication: 2012 Corporate author: North-South Centre of the Council of Europe | Global Education Network Europe (GENE) | CONCORD Europe | Portuguese Institute of Cooperation and Language | Portuguese NDGO Platform | University of Lisbon | European Commission The 2nd European Congress on Global Education: Education, Interdependence and Solidarity in a Changing World took place on 27 – 28 September 2012 in Lisbon. It was organised by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe (NSC) in partnership with Global Education Network Europe (GENE) and CONCORD Europe, in cooperation with the Portuguese Institute of Cooperation and Language - Camões, the Portuguese NDGO Platform and the University of Lisbon and with the financial support of the European Commission. This Congress brought together approximately 200 stakeholders in global education, in particular international organisations, governments, parliamentarians, local and regional authorities, civil society organisations, as well as educators from Europe and beyond, using the principle of “quadrilogue” and a holistic approach to global education. This two-day event built on the efforts of the North-South Centre (NSC) and other stakeholders to promote global education since the Maastricht Congress Declaration (2002) which established a European strategy framework for improving and increasing global education in Europe to the year 2015. Thematic dialogue and exchange of ideas and practices together with a reflection on the political dimension of global education contributed to the formulation of a Lisbon Statement and the revision of the proposed Strategic Recommendations for Strengthening Global Education till 2015. The resume of the thematic dialogues, the Lisbon Statement on Global Education and the Strategic Recommendations represent an integral part of this report. This is also complemented with a short concluding section with follow-up proposals. 2nd European congress on global education: education, interdependence and solidarity in a changing world; final report Year of publication: 2012 Corporate author: North-South Centre of the Council of Europe | Global Education Network Europe (GENE) | CONCORD Europe | Portuguese Institute of Cooperation and Language | Portuguese NDGO Platform | University of Lisbon | European Commission Ce rapport national sur l'éducation globale en Autriche fait partie du processus d'évaluation intra-européenne Éducation Mondiale, qui a été lancé en 2002 dans le but d'augmenter et d'améliorer l'éducation mondiale dans les États membres du Conseil de l'Europe.

Securitising Education to Prevent Terrorism or Losing Direction? Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bill Durodie Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis This article examines the growing relationship between security and education, particularly in the light of the UK government’s Prevent Duty that seeks to tackle radicalization in a variety of milieus, including universities. However, rather than seeing this process as being merely one-way, through a so-called securitization of education, what is explored here is the dialectic between these two spheres. It is suggested that a heightened sensitivity to the supposed consequences of inflammatory rhetoric on the well-being of supposedly suggestible or vulnerable students has been in existence within education for quite some time. Securitising Education to Prevent Terrorism or Losing Direction? Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bill Durodie Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis Cet article examine le lien grandissant entre la sécurité et l'éducation, à la lumière, en particulier, du programme « Prevent Duty » du gouvernement britannique, qui vise à lutter contre la radicalisation dans différents milieux, tels que les universités. Cependant, plutôt que de voir un simple processus de sécurisation de l'éducation, il s’agit ici d’explorer la dialectique entre ces deux éléments. On pose comme hypothèse qu'une sensibilité accrue aux soi-disant conséquences d’un discours enflammé sur le bien-être des élèves prétendus influençables ou vulnérables existe au sein de l'éducation depuis un certain temps. 
Holocaust Education: Analysis of Curricula and Frameworks: A Case Study of Illinois This article addresses how far educational institutions have come in designing authentic and meaningful curricula for teaching the Holocaust at the secondary level. Examined in this article are the historical development of Holocaust education in the United States, with a focus on the state of Illinois as a case study, what contributes to the development of a full curriculum, and what constitutes the boundary between a curriculum and a framework, based on examination of the work of scholars and institutions in the field. Analysis of existing frameworks according to criteria developed by the authors has yielded the finding that a framework can only guide teachers to an extent because of its looser structure. A full curriculum, however, is structured with greater detail and more direct ways of determining evidence that demonstrates understanding of the content and mastery of essential skills. Recommendations are provided for Holocaust Education curriculum development, underscoring the significance of an engaging design that makes learning more lasting and meaningful. (By the author) 
Understanding Matters: Holocaust Curricula and the Social Studies Classroom Over the past two decades, interest in Holocaust education has grown substantially as individual states, starting in the 1980s, began to mandate and/or recommend Holocaust studies as part of the social studies curriculum. As a result, these mandates and/or interest in the Holocaust have spawned any number of curriculum products, some of which seek less to help the student of history acquire an understanding of this historical event, and more in terms of dictating to the social studies student what he or she should understand. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to critique Holocaust curricula that have been developed under the auspices of a state department of education (SDE) or endorsed by a SDE, as we believe that teachers unfamiliar with the Holocaust will turn to these products as sources of authority. We base this critique on what we refer to as three approaches or considerations to understanding history—the body of work on historical thinking which we view as the underpinning of historical empathy and positionality, historical empathy as articulated by Elizabeth Yeager, O.L. Davis, Jr., and Stuart Foster, and the guidelines on teaching the Holocaust developed for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum by William Parsons and Samuel Totten. These three elements, each in their own way, help us to understand the challenge for teachers and students whose foundation for understanding the Holocaust may solely rest upon curriculum products whose curricular aims and/or design often obstruct the quest to “understand,” e.g., lack of historical accuracy, lack of depth, and historical gaps.

Controversial Issues - Teachers' attitudes and practices in the context of citizenship education Year of publication: 2004 Author: Christopher Oultona | Vanessa Dayb | Justin Dillon | Marcus Graced A survey of the literature suggests that the principles and methods relating to the teaching of controversial issues are themselves controversial. This irony is more relevant to teachers now than ever before. This paper explores the issue of teachers' readiness to use controversial issues in the classroom, and reports on research involving focus groups and questionnaires. We suggest that many teachers are under‐prepared and feel constrained in their ability to handle this aspect of their work. Controversial Issues - Teachers' attitudes and practices in the context of citizenship education Year of publication: 2004 Author: Christopher Oultona | Vanessa Dayb | Justin Dillon | Marcus Graced Une analyse de la littérature portant sur cette question montre que les principes et les méthodes relatifs à l'enseignement des questions controversées sont eux-mêmes controversés. Cette situation absurde concerne plus que jamais les enseignants. Cet article porte sur la formation des enseignants à l’utilisation des questions controversées dans la salle de classe, et publie les résultats de la recherche effectuée auprès des groupes cibles et par le biais de questionnaire. Il s’avère que de nombreux enseignants sont loin d’être formés et qu’ils ne sont pas prêts à gérer cet aspect de leur travail.
