Description
This online module will aim to introduce learners to the key debates and discussions surrounding global citizenship education (GCE) within existing research and policy, as well as to explore examples of practice from around the world. It will provide students with an opportunity to explore and critique the relevant academic literature, and to consider how their learning might inform their own professional practice. This will include a focus on specific areas of GCE research, such as learning in the classroom, learning through personal experience (e.g. volunteering), and engagement in social action. Upon completion of the module, participants will have developed:
鈥� a solid theoretical/ conceptual understanding of GCE and related issues through engagement with relevant academic literature
鈥� an understanding of the diverse range of current GCE policy in formal and non-formal education around the world
鈥� a broad knowledge of, and critical perspective on, the current state of research on GCE
鈥� an understanding of current practices of GCE around the world
鈥� the skills to critically assess approaches to GCE, and relate them to their own perspectives and experiences
