Global Monitoring of Target 4.7: Themes in National Curriculum Frameworks; Background Paper Prepared for the 2016 Global Education Monitoring Report Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) This study is an initial attempt to monitor ESD and GCED content in curricula globally. The goal here is to analyse national curriculum documents to reveal if, how, and to what extent ESD and GCED content is present across the globe. For this purpose, the research team developed a coding scheme based on key ESD and GCED knowledge, skills, behaviours and pedagogies that was used in evaluating the various national curriculum documents for evidence of ESD and GCED content. In this paper, we present the study in the following order. Further explanation of ESD and GCED, and a discussion of issues relating to their implementation and monitoring will come first. Then we will review similar studies that have also attempted to monitor GCED and ESD through content analysis. The study’s methods and findings will then be presented, followed by a discussion of the challenges addressed in developing a coding system to monitor curricula effectively. Finally, we share a series of recommendations that will focus on ways for moving forward in monitoring GCED and ESD effectively, both at a curricular level and beyond. 
Non-formal and Informal Programs and Activities that Promote the Acquisition of Knowledge and Skills in Areas of Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Year of publication: 2016 Author: Ashley Stepanek Lockhart Corporate author: UNESCO This study will examine the nature of, and how, non-formal and informal programs and activities contribute to the acquisition of knowledge and skills for children, adolescents, youth and adults in precise areas of Target 4.7. This will be done by highlighting different definitions, conceptual approaches and history, along with policies of GCED and ESD and non-formal education and informal learning, comparing attempts to operationalize GCED and ESD to indicators for measurement and monitoring and challenges therein, and by identifying relevant sample programs and activities from around the world to analyze and consider using as data sources. How non-formal and informal provision related to GCED and ESD links to formal education will be considered, along with its connection to the larger notion of lifelong learning.

Towards the development of an international module for assessing learning in Global Citizenship Education (GCE) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD): a critical review of current measurement strategies Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bryony Hoskins Corporate author: UNESCO The aim of the study is to support the development of an indicator for target 4.7 of the UN sustainable development goals (STG). The study provides a conceptual framework for measuring the competences from global citizenship education (GCE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) from a review of the literature and then an audit of the different aspects of these competences. The study establishes the extent that these competences can be measured using existing data. The results of this analysis show that most dimensions of GCE can to some extent be measured by the existing IEA ICCS 2009 and 2016 datasets and an outline of how this data can be used to develop an initial indicator or set of indicators for target 4.7 is given. However, in contrast, the study finds that existing data is much more limited on measuring ESD and the existing data does not provide enough coverage for indicator development at the moment. The study recommends that in order to provide a more comprehensive measure of both these competences it would be necessary to develop a new module on GCE and ESD. After considering the options, it is concluded that the most realistic option is for this module to be attached to the existing IEA ICCS survey. The study concludes that an indicator of all citizens across the whole world is probably unrealistic considering the challenges faced, but what could be achievable is an indicator covering some countries from each region from around the world. To make this a reality considerable political effort and search for funding would be required to engage new regions to the ICCS survey, for example, from Africa and the Middle East
