Democratic Citizenship Education in Non-Western Contexts - Implications for Theory and Research (Paperback): Serhiy Kovalchuk,... Democratic Citizenship Education in Non-Western Contexts - Implications for Theory and Research (Paperback)
Serhiy Kovalchuk, Anatoli Rapoport
R1,302 Discovery Miles 13 020 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book examines the issues of theorizing citizenship education research in non-Western societies that have embarked on democratic development after the fall of authoritarianism and colonialism. Despite a proliferation of studies on citizenship and citizenship education in non-Western contexts, there has been limited theorization of this research and little discussion of the applicability to such contexts of Western theoretical frameworks. This volume addresses these issues through empirical case studies of citizenship conceptions, practices, and education in South and West Africa, Latin America, Central Europe, and the Middle East. The contributors to the volume call into question the uncritical application of Western theoretical frameworks to non-Western societies and advocate for the development and wider application of new paradigms rooted in local processes and indigenous knowledge to better understand and theorize citizenship and citizenship education in such societies. This volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and practitioners working in the field of comparative and international citizenship education. It was originally published as a special issue of Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education.

Competing Frameworks - Global and National in Citizenship Education (Hardcover): Anatoli Rapoport Competing Frameworks - Global and National in Citizenship Education (Hardcover)

For citizenship education in the 21st century, globalization increasingly presents a new challenge and a new opportunity. Since the time when nationalism played a critical role in unifying new nations, nationality and citizenship have been virtually synonymous terms. As a result, the constructed symbiosis of citizenship and national identity has influenced state supported citizenship education in the most profound way. School curricula, particularly in public schools, produced and reinforced the dominant version of citizenship, which is national citizenship. Schools were expected to prepare future loyal citizens who would identify themselves with the nation. Due to the changing nature and scope of human interactions, the traditional model of citizenship education, however, appears increasingly outdated and deficient to address many contemporary challenges. Thus, schools have become a locus of a potential conflict of two citizenship discourses: the discourse of national citizenship that for a long time has served as the ultimate purpose of public education and the discourse of global citizenship that is forcefully and continuously seeking for a proper place in school curricula despite the lack of curricular heritage. The need for an education for citizenship that has a global scope and is guided by critical and emancipatory approaches becomes more evident. At the same time, the pressure to globalize and internationalize curriculum actively challenges such concepts as patriotism, national identity, loyalty to the state, or national uniqueness of government and democratic development that have been fundamental for citizenship and civic education for decades. In this book, a group of international scholars present their research about the dynamic development, interplay, and interconnectedness of two major discourses in citizenship education, namely national and global. Case studies and ethnographies from China, Cyprus, Egypt, Hong Kong and Singapore, Lebanon, Liberia, the Netherlands, Russia, and the United States display a multifaceted but yet comprehensive picture of educators' attempts to promote social justice, global awareness, and multiple loyalties. The volume will appeal to several constituencies: it will be interesting to teachers and teacher educators whose focus of instruction is citizenship education, social studies education, and global education; it will also be interesting to scholars who conduct research in citizenship and global education.

Fields Unknown - Russian and American Teachers on Their International Exchange Experiences (Paperback): Anatoli Rapoport Fields Unknown - Russian and American Teachers on Their International Exchange Experiences (Paperback)

Beulah Rohlich once noted that educators have believed for many years that international programs were "an enriching experience" but very few if any could explain what that meant. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate the impact of international exchange and training programs on pedagogical practices of their participants. Interviews with international program alumni from Russia and the United States, author's observations and personal experience provide unique opportunity for understanding how participants of international programs implement, institutionalize, transfer, share and sustain the experiences, skills and knowledge that they obtain during their programs. This work is addressed to a diverse audience: researchers will find here rich data and methodologies for further studies in the areas of international, comparative, and civic education; international program developers, organisers, and coordinators will find sound advice how to improve exchange and training programs and make them more meaningful; future international exchange participants will find a couple of sincere answers to myriads of questions that they have before they commence a jorney to "fields unknown."
