Homegrown terrorism and transformative learning: an interdisciplinary approach to understanding radicalization Year of publication: 2010 Author: Alex S. Wilner | Claire-Jehanne Dubouloz Since 2001, a preponderance of terrorist activity in Europe, North America and Australia has involved radicalized Westerners inspired by Al Qaeda. Described as ‘homegrown terrorism’, perpetrators are citizens and residents born, raised, and educated within the countries they attack. While most scholars and policy-makers agree that radicalization plays a central role in persuading Westerners to embrace terrorism, little research properly investigates the internal and cognitive processes inherent to radicalization. Transformative learning theory, developed from the sciences in education, health and rehabilitation, provides an unconventional and interdisciplinary way to understand the radicalization process. The theory suggests that sustained behavioural change can occur when critical reflection and the development of novel personal belief systems are provoked by specific triggering factors. Homegrown terrorism and transformative learning: an interdisciplinary approach to understanding radicalization Year of publication: 2010 Author: Alex S. Wilner | Claire-Jehanne Dubouloz Depuis 2001, une grande partie de l'activité terroriste en Europe, en Amérique du Nord et en Australie a impliqué des Occidentaux radicalisés inspirés par Al Qaïda. Décrite comme un « terrorisme venant de l’intérieur », leurs auteurs sont des citoyens et des résidents qui sont nés, ont grandi et ont été éduqués dans les pays qu'ils attaquent. Alors que la plupart des chercheurs et des décideurs conviennent que la radicalisation joue un rôle central pour convaincre les Occidentaux d'embrasser le terrorisme, peu de recherche étudie d’une manière adéquate les processus internes et cognitifs inhérents à la radicalisation. La théorie de la pédagogie transformative, développée à partir des sciences de l'éducation, de la santé et de la réadaptation, fournit une manière peu commune et interdisciplinaire de comprendre le processus de radicalisation. Cette théorie suggère que le changement de comportement de manière durable peut se produire lorsque la réflexion critique et le développement de nouveaux systèmes de croyance personnelle sont provoqués par des facteurs déclencheurs spécifiques. 
Education Reform in Pakistan Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: International Crisis Group In April 2010, the eighteenth constitutional amendment committed Pakistan to free and compulsory education for all children between the ages of five and sixteen. Yet millions are still out of school, and the education system remains alarmingly impoverished. The madrasa (religious school) sector flourishes, with no meaningful efforts made to regulate the seminaries, many of which propagate religious and sectarian hatred. Militant violence and natural disasters have exacerbated the dismal state of education. The public education system needs to foster a tolerant citizenry, capable of competing in the labour market and supportive of democratic norms within the country and peace with the outside world. Education Reform in Pakistan Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: International Crisis Group En Avril 2010, le Pakistan s’est engagé, l'amendement constitutionnel XVIII, à mettre en place une éducation gratuite et obligatoire pour tous les enfants âgés de cinq à seize ans. Pourtant, des millions d’enfants ne sont encore à l'école et le système éducatif s’appauvrit d’une façon alarmante. Le secteur de la madrasa (école religieuse) fleurit, sans que des efforts significatifs soient déployés pour réglementer les séminaires, qui propagent souvent la haine religieuse et le sectarisme. La violence militante et les catastrophes naturelles ont aggravé l'état lamentable de l'éducation. Le système public de l'éducation doit favoriser une citoyenneté tolérante, compétitive sur le marché du travail et apportant son soutien aux normes démocratiques dans le pays et à la paix avec le monde extérieur.

Teaching the Holocaust at a distance : reflections from the field As technology continues to improve and online learning programs continue to proliferate each year throughout the United States, it is necessary for teachers to establish a sound understanding of proper pedagogical techniques for a digital environment. This phenomenon has ushered in a new era of education, thus bringing forth a myriad of new questions and issues that must be addressed. For instance, how should online instructors properly transfer and teach traditional core subjects in an online milieu? Social studies educators are faced with additional quandaries, such as teaching democratic processes for effective citizenship and the teaching of controversial issues/topics like the Holocaust. Undeniably, controversial topics elicit strong emotions and come with a plethora of concerns that seem only possible to address in a face-to-face classroom. This current exploration draws upon the scholarship and experience of experts in the field of social studies education, distance learning, and Holocaust Studies to provide suggestions as to how teachers should approach controversial topics in a digital learning environment. An example lesson plan is also provided to showcase a successful integration of controversial issues into an online high school social studies classroom. (By the author)
