Global citizenship: a typology for distinguishing its multiple conceptions Year of publication: 2013 Author: Laura Oxley | Paul Morris Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis The promotion of ‘Global Citizenship’ (GC) has emerged as a goal of schooling in many countries, symbolising a shift away from national towards more global conceptions of citizenship. It currently incorporates a proliferation of approaches and terminologies, mirroring both the diverse conceptions of its nature and the socio-politico contexts within which it is appropriated. This paper seeks to clarify this ambiguity by constructing a typology to identify and distinguish the diverse conceptions of GC. The typology is based on two general forms of GC: cosmopolitan based and advocacy based. The former incorporates four distinct conceptions of GC – namely, the political, moral, economic and cultural; the latter incorporates four other conceptions – namely, the social, critical, environmental and spiritual. Subsequently, we briefly illustrate how the typology can be used to evaluate the critical features of a curriculum plan designed to promote GC in England. The typology provides a novel and powerful means to analyse the key features of the very diverse range of educational policies and programmes that promote GC.
La Citoyenneté Mondiale: une typologie pour distinguer ses multiples conceptions Year of publication: 2013 Author: Laura Oxley | Paul Morris Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis La promotion de la «Citoyenneté Mondiale» (CM) a émergé comme un objectif de scolarisation dans de nombreux pays, symbolisant l'abandon des nationaux vers des conceptions plus globales de la citoyenneté. Il intègre actuellement une prolifération d'approches et terminologies, reflétant à la fois les diverses conceptions de la nature et les contextes socio-politico au sein duquel il est approprié. Ce document vise à clarifier cette ambiguïté en construisant une typologie pour identifier et distinguer les diverses conceptions de la CM. La typologie est basée sur deux formes générales de CM: cosmopolite base et sur la base de plaidoyer. L'ancien incorpore quatre conceptions distinctes de CM - à savoir la politique, morale, économique et culturelle; celui-ci comporte quatre autres conceptions - à savoir, le spirituel sociale, critique, de l'environnement et. Par la suite, nous illustrons brièvement comment la typologie peut être utilisé pour évaluer les caractéristiques essentielles d'un plan de programme conçu pour promouvoir la CM en Angleterre. La typologie fournit une nouvelle et des moyens puissants pour analyser les principales caractéristiques de la gamme très diversifiée de politiques et de programmes éducatifs qui favorisent la CM.
National curricular guidelines and citizenship education in schools in Latin American countries Year of publication: 2013 Author: Martín Bascopé | Macarena Bonhomme | Cristián Cox | Juan Carlos Castillo | Daniel Miranda Corporate author: Centro de Estudios de Políticas y Prácticas en Educación (CEPPE) The aim of this study is to contrast two different sources of information regarding citizenship education in Latin America: curricular guidelines, and students’ civic attitudes and practices. When analyzing curricular guidelines, we consider the official national documents of the respective Ministries of Education, whereas regarding civic practices and attitudes, we analyze the results of the 2009 ICCS study. By using quantitative methods, we contrast the curricular emphasis and students’ results for each of the six countries considered. Our findings show that several curricular absences are associated with students’ low achievement in civic and citizenship knowledge and attitudes. Therefore, these results provide some guidelines for improving the official curricular documents and developing more empirical research on less-covered civic topics. Finally we encourage further research on classroom practices, especially on the topics highlighted in this research, such as authoritarianism, peaceful coexistence, national and regional identity, and accountability. Inside classroom research is very important to have a complete view of civic/citizenship curricular guidelines and practices, considering the limitations implied by looking at the intended curriculum (official documents) rather than the one implemented.
