Global Citizenship Education in the Draft Social Studies K-6 Curriculum Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Alberta Council for Global Cooperation (ACGC) This document is the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation’s (ACGC) response to the Draft Social Studies K-6 Curriculum released by the Government of Alberta on March 29, 2021. ACGC conducted the analysis of the draft social studies curriculum to better understand the alignment of the draft with global citizenship education (GCE) best practices.Global citizenship is a lens through which to see the world. ACGC understands global citizenship as “an ethos” primarily concerned with fostering “a sense of belonging to the global community and common humanity” (UNESCO, 2013). This not only involves members experiencing solidarity and collective identity themselves, but also necessitates collective responsibility to take local and global action for a better world.Following the analysis, ACGC strongly recommends that the draft curriculum be rewritten to reflect international best practices in global citizenship education. There are significant gaps in the draft when held against the suggested learning outcomes of UNESCO’s guide, Global Citizenship Education: Topics and Learning Objectives. Furthermore, the Alberta government’s Guiding Framework for the Design and Development of Kindergarten to Grade 12 Provincial Curriculum released in December 2020 provides an opportunity for GCE if the draft curriculum more closely aligns with our understanding of the Guiding Framework. Ultimately, the best path forward is rewriting the draft curriculum to include cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioural learning outcomes that foster active global citizenship and prepare Alberta students to contribute to and thrive within a sustainable, interconnected world.

Media Education and Citizenship: An Analysis of the Quebec Preschool and Elementary Education Program (No. 80) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Normand Landry | Chantal Roussel Corporate author: Lien social et Politiques In Canada, the limited level of knowledge on media education content that is conveyed by academic curricula hinders its critical evaluation. This article presents the ways in which media education is introduced in the Quebec Education Program (QEP) at the preschool and elementary level. More specifically, it highlights the connections at work between media education, childhood and citizenship in the program. Our method tracks and extracts a set of statements related to information and communications technologies (ICTs) and the media, then conducts their automated classification into four principal categories: speech, verbs used that reflect the actions undertaken by categories of actors (school, pupils, teachers), learning objectives and suggestions. A subsequent classification allows for the emergence of verbs and learning objectives associated to the notion of citizenship. The latter are then subject to speech analysis. Our analysis intends to demonstrate the message conveyed by the QEP on media and ICTs. It highlights the roles, tasks and responsibilities of its various actors in relation to the acquisition of knowledge and skill development. In addition, it features the actions taken by these actors to operationalize the academic goals of the program. Our conclusion indicates a low subject implementation of the statements associated to media education and citizenship, relevant content, although thematically limited, along with the conception of students as capable of a reflection and critical thinking process.
