As globalization has grown, the concept of "global citizenship" has also evolved. The drive to expand citizenship beyond national borders spurred a nascent discipline known as global citizenship education (GCE). This article examines the continuum from globalization, to global citizenship, to a global pandemic (COVID-19)--and how the…

The purpose of this article is to examine the level of social capital and global citizenship in Taiwan. In this study, we argue that high social capital and political self-efficacy promote the outcomes of global citizenship. We review the development of global citizenship education policy and its association with social capital and political…

The many universities across the world that promote internationalisation together with global citizenship education overtly or covertly orient their students around particular global citizenship values. Neoliberal and liberal humanist perspectives on global citizenship have historically dominated global citizenship education. The neoliberal…

This research was undertaken to better understand how the teaching of high school history contributes to citizenship education in Turkey. To achieve this goal, we focused on two main research questions. First, what does the history curriculum in Turkey include regarding citizenship education?

Many countries have recently called for educating global citizens, suggesting that global citizenship education (GCE) can contribute usefully to individuals and the greater world. However, so far there is no clear definition of how best to teach GCE. Educators in the Netherlands have recently given attention to citizenship education but not to…

In the present study, we investigated the influence of religious attitudes on a model of antecedents, identification, and outcomes of global citizenship using predictive quantitative tools. A total of 2,694 university students were recruited from two campuses of a large state university in southern Philippines and completed measures regarding…

Assessments, in particular high stakes assessments, impact the nature of teaching and learning. Given this, the goal of citizenship if seen as important needs to feature within high stakes school exit assessments rather than only as part of curriculum and assessment policy rhetoric. South Africa's Mathematical Literacy (ML) curriculum foregrounds…

This paper makes an empirical contribution to the debate about the pluralism of global citizenship. This is considered a crucial aspect for research, not only because charity and social justice standpoints coexist, but also in the light of growing examples of neoliberal understandings about global citizenship education and the global citizen.…

Global Citizenship (GC) has recently claimed its position as desired graduates' attribute in many Higher Education (HE) institutions in different non-Western contexts. However, ambiguity and complexity still linger over what GC means contextually and how this understanding may shape educational outcomes. Taking cognizance of this, a study was…

Globalization and its impact on contemporary societies have gained new impetus with the notions of global citizenship education (GCED) and education for sustainable development (ESD), considered, together with civic and citizenship education (CCE), as a means for promoting students' engagement in global/local issues and providing them with the…

The purpose of this study was to investigate how social studies teachers conceptualize global citizenship and how personal, professional, and contextual characteristics influenced respondents' choices of a global citizenship model and their confidence to teach about global citizenship in the classroom. The online data were collected from 209…

While global citizenship education (GCE) becomes increasingly popular, the concept is still contested in definition and assumes different meanings in various contexts. Many countries have started including GCE-related concepts in national educational policies and school curriculum. However, not much empirical research has been conducted on GCE in…

Given the growing presence of citizens with cultural differences, it is no longer appropriate to base citizenship on the individual belonging of a nation-state. It has become necessary to develop a new concept of citizenship that considers the existing multiple identities of people. This idea has gradually permeated educational policies on…

In light of recent changes within Norway's teacher education and its perceived global position as a champion of human rights and equality, this exploratory study had two pursuits. First, we put forth a cognitive mapping heuristic for what we refer to as "critical/neoliberal" Global Citizenship Education (GCE), using a semiotic square…

Global citizenship education (GCE) has emerged as a powerful force in global and national discourses, with scholars and dominant international organisations stressing it to be the overarching educational framework. Although numerous approaches have been adopted to promote it, most of the strategies focus on transnational activities. There is less…
