Governments, international organizations and academics have, in recent decades, expressed a sense of crisis in the practice of democracy based largely upon increasing levels of disengagement by citizens from even the most basic elements of civic life. One response has been to devise civics and citizenship education curricula for schools with the concomitant expectations of enhanced civic practice. Our examination of citizenship education programs has revealed considerable variation from country to country in the degree of success achieved in the design, development and implementation of programs. This paper examines recent developments in citizenship education in four leading Western democracies – Australia, Canada, England and the USA; each one with its own particular successes and shortcomings. It identifies several factors associated with the successful building of curriculum capacity for citizenship education and argues that these are fundamental for countries wishing to move beyond rhetoric and toward substance in citizenship education. 相似文献

This paper reports on a two-year study that explored teachers' pedagogical approaches when implementing an active citizenship curriculum initiative in New Zealand. Our aim was to identify pedagogies which afforded potential for critical and transformative citizenship learning. We define critical and transformative social action through a fusion of critical pedagogy and Dewey's notion of democratic education. Data included teachers' classroom-based research as well as classroom observations and interviews with students. Our study suggested that citizenship learning through both affective and cognitive domains can provide for deeper opportunities for students to experience critical and transformative democratic engagement. 相似文献

Civic education has been a priority for many countries in the Asia Pacific region over the past decade. Governments of different
persuasions have recognized the need to provide stability and cohesion in their societies. This has been particularly so at
a time when globalization and other forces threaten to fragment the nation state and co-opt its citizens into broader realms
of allegiance and commitment.
Policy makers have not been slow to come up with new directions for civic education in the school curriculum and the literature
now abounds with examples from different countries. Yet missing from this flurry of policy development has been recognition
of the role that teachers play in constructing civic education programs at the school level. In the end, it is teachers in
classrooms who determine how centralized polices are understood and implemented.
Drawing on a sample of Australian teachers, the purpose of this paper is to highlight the role that teachers play in constructing
and reconstructing civic education policy in schools and classrooms. Interviews conducted with teachers in four Australian
States/Territories have revealed that teachers ’ personal views of civics are more likely to influence them than external
policies, their focus is more on citizenship than formal civics programs and that they are reluctant to develop programs where
civic knowledge is formalized and disciplined based.
The research reported in this paper was funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC). The views expressed are those of
the authors and not the ARC. 相似文献

This study investigates learning about civics and citizenship throughout individuals' lives (lifelong) and across various pedagogical settings (lifewide). A basic hypothesis is that civics teachers, among all social actors, are particularly well positioned for engaging in this type of introspective exercise because they are both familiar with civics and politics and also with teaching and learning processes. The lifelong civic learning of civics teachers was examined in the different settings in which they acquire their knowledge, values, skills and ideological frameworks, and to understand the relative weight of each one in their overall learning process. This study also coincides with the implementation of a new provincial civics course for grade 10 students in Ontario, Canada during the 2000–1 school year. This case study consists of interviews with 15 social studies teachers who have taught the new civics course in Ontario. One of the clearest findings of the study is the powerful influence of the experience of teaching and of early family socialization on the acquisition of civic knowledge, skills and values, and on the development of political beliefs. Civic engagement and political participation were also considered an important source of civic learning, particularly in relation to the acquisition of civic and political skills. This is a finding that deserves further exploration, because our understanding of social movement learning remains limited. The findings suggest the promotion of lifelong citizenship learning entails the creation and nurturing of inclusive democratic spaces that have particularly high civic educational potential. 相似文献

Across the country, states are considering policies that support civic learning among youth. Recent initiatives at the state level have changed graduation requirements and state assessments around high school civics. These initiatives can be grouped into three types: coursework, assessments, and accountability. The first type, coursework, refers to whether a state’s graduation requirements include a course in civics. The second, assessments, encompasses state requirements that students be assessed on civics or citizenship education. The third type, accountability, refers to whether a state’s accountability system includes state assessments in civics or citizenship education. The purpose of this study is threefold: (1) to describe state policies in civics education and the variation in them among the American states, (2) to document the changes in state policies between 2004 and 2016, and (3) to help unpack the reasons behind changes to civics education policy among the American states. We find considerable variation in civics education policies across states, as well as substantial changes within states over time. Using event history analysis, we exploit the variation to examine the extent to which political, economic, and demographic factors inside a state as well as the actions of neighboring or regional states condition adoption of assessment policies. We find evidence that the proportion of Hispanic and black populations in a state are positively associated with adoption and discuss implications and areas for future research. 相似文献

The opinions about what characterises a good citizen are diverse, yet survey research usually employs variable-centred analytical strategies to examine people’s concepts of good citizenship. The present study builds on a person-centred approach towards good citizenship and validates previously identified types of good citizenship among Australian secondary school students. Following an in-depth characterisation of these types by sociodemographic variables and civic attitudes, this study incorporates multinomial regression analysis to take a closer look at very extreme but practically important patterns. These analyses suggest that students need to believe in the value of civic action to become political enthusiasts and not politically alienated. Civic knowledge may prevent political alienation; however, it is not the ultimate solution as it is negatively correlated with political enthusiasm when controlling for multiple predictors. The results are discussed with respect to their significance for civics and citizenship teaching and learning. 相似文献

This article assumes that pedagogical renewal and teacher development are two sides of the same coin, and that the achievement
of a universal primary education that is equitable and of acceptable quality in Sub-Saharan Africa will depend to a large
extent on both. The need for pedagogical renewal stems from the evidence that (i) teaching is arguably the strongest school-level
determinant of student achievement; (ii) teaching effect on student learning is reportedly higher in Sub-Saharan Africa than
it is in high-income countries; (iii) learning achievement is considerably lower in the sub-continent’s schools; and (iv)
the kind of teaching that takes place in these schools confines students to a passive role and only fosters lower order skills.
An overview of experiences with pedagogical renewal highlights the challenges involved in adopting open-ended instructional
practices on the sub-continent. It further points to bilingual education as one of the most promising strategies. Regardless
of the route taken for renewing pedagogy, the professional development of teacher educators/trainers must be considered a
critical enabling condition. 相似文献

AbstractThe 2014 Umbrella Movement was one of the most significant social and political events in recent Hong Kong history. This paper offers some initial reflections on the connections between the movement and broader issues related to civic education, critical thinking, and theories of education. First, it is suggested that the movement closely resembles a form of civic education known as ‘action civics,’ offering an alternative pedagogy that might encourage more authentic civic participation. Second, the movement raises questions about how the teaching of critical thinking can be made more practically relevant to modern citizenship. Third, the deep political polarization associated with the movement indicates that civic education and critical thinking training need to pay attention to cognitive biases that affect political ideology. Finally, the Umbrella Movement reflects the failure of democratization in Hong Kong and coincides with increasing political pressures on the local education system. We discuss how political reality connects to issues about democratic education, critical pedagogy, and the idea of political neutrality in education. 相似文献

英国学校长期以来公民课程的缺失,并不意味着英国学校不存在公民教育,也不能得出英国大众普遍缺乏公民意识的结论。英国社会和学校的总体教育在几个层面上提供了某种形式的公民教育:英国资本主义的民主制度在宏观层面上对学校的公民教育产生了影响;英国学校教育的整体生活在中观层面上起到了公民教育的作用;英国学校的多门学科在微观层面上具有公民教育的因素。英国学校的公民教育是在传统与变革之间的相互融合中协调渐进的。 相似文献

National and Civic Education is a program of study compulsory across all grade levels in Lebanon aimed at promoting social cohesion and active citizenship. A sample of 19 civics teachers in Lebanon across four of the six governorates participated in semi-structured interviews. The conversations delved into their conceptions of citizenship and citizenship education and their reflections of classroom teaching experiences. Their responses revealed complex inter-relations among nationalist conceptions of citizenship, pedagogies of rote learning, emotional repercussions from controversial topics and limited opportunities to think critically and engage in dialogue in the classroom. 相似文献

Civics and Social Studies are subjects the Japanese Ministry of Education has designated for civics education in schools. The ‘Courses of Study’ for these subjects, drawn up by the Ministry of Education, list the desired objectives and contents of all Civics‐related courses. The purpose of this article is to analyze the values promoted in the two levels of the civics education curriculum, namely the ‘Courses of Study’ and the approved textbooks. These are analyzed with reference to eight categories, which are: civic life, social cohesion/ diversity, democracy, fair government, economic life, self cultivation, national identity and internationalism. 相似文献

This article analyses the perspectives and experiences of refugee and immigrant secondary school students in the USA who are from the Democratic Republic of Congo to examine the interplay between identity and civic education, and broader socio-political discourses around immigration and inclusion. Data are drawn from a 2-year qualitative study that took place between 2016 and 2018, and included interviews, field notes from classroom observations and recordings of classroom discourse in high school civics classes. Findings are analysed through anthropological framings of citizenship and provide important insight into how marginalisation in one context is experienced in another—how refugee and immigrant youth’s socially conscious identities in resettlement contexts can be borne out of personal and familial histories that transcend geographical borders. In so doing, it showcases how civic learning can involve a dialogic process of self-representation and representation of group memberships. This research emphasises these youth’s inherent agency and resistance to single-story narratives about their lives. It concludes with implications for teachers and learners on incorporating active, critical and participatory transnational citizenship education into the classroom. 相似文献

Abstract This article reviews research on pedagogies associated with the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in primary and secondary schools. We propose a framework for examining pedagogical practices based on an analysis of the nature of pedagogy as revealed in the literature. In the light of this framework we discuss empirical evidence of the use of different types of ICT in different subjects and phases of education. We identify pedagogical issues associated with ICT use and their implications for teachers' pedagogical reasoning and practices. The evidence suggests that new affordances provided by ICT-based learning environments require teachers to undertake more complex pedagogical reasoning than before in their planning and teaching that incorporates knowledge of specific affordances and how these relate to their subject-based teaching objectives as well as the knowledge they have always needed to plan for their students' learning. In addition the research shows that teachers' beliefs about the value of ICT for learning and the nature of successful learning environments are important in teachers' pedagogical reasoning 相似文献

Teacher-educators need ways of assessing the adequacy of university curriculum and the extent to which student-teachers meet
learning objectives. One potentially useful tool is Anderson and Krathwohl’s (Addison Wesley Longman, New York, 2001) theoretical framework, which can be applied to assess student-teachers’ knowledge types and their cognitive processes in
critical pre-service curriculum areas such as child sexual abuse and personal safety. This study aims to illustrate the use
of Anderson and Krathwohl’s framework in assessing student-teachers’ learning of pedagogies in relation to child sexual abuse
and personal safety. Participants were a final year cohort of 122 Bachelor of Education (Primary School) students at an Australian
university. Student-teachers’ essays regarding the pedagogical practices that they would implement in teaching about child
sexual abuse and personal safety were content analysed using Anderson and Krathwohl’s framework. Pedagogies identified by
the student-teachers were unevenly distributed across the cells within the theoretical framework. Well-represented pedagogies
tended to reflect mid-level cognitive processes (those of understand, apply, and analyse), and low to mid-level knowledge
types (those of factual, conceptual, and procedural). Under-represented were pedagogies reflecting higher-level cognition
such as creating (in all four knowledge types) and evaluation (of factual and conceptual knowledge). The findings provide
a basis for assessing the adequacy of current university teacher-education curriculum structures. Student-teachers’ understandings
of under-used theoretical and pedagogical strategies can be identified as a guide to enhance their cognitive processes and
knowledge dimensions. This study illustrates a method that has applicability as a diagnostic and assessment tool across a
wide range of pre-service teacher education curriculum areas. 相似文献
