Citizenship education is a current concern of policymakers in
various parts of the world. Debates focus on modern notions of
citizenship, and the need for citizenship education in a rapidly
changing world. This need for citizenship education and
corresponding definitions have changed over time, but a persistent
characteristic would seem to be a fear of indoctrination and a lack
of a coherent vision due in part to the notion of citizenship being
a contested concept. Different notions of citizenship in turn
underpin different theories of citizenship education, and a number
of commentators have examined its role and rationale at various
points in time and identified ideal forms of pedagogy, values,
skills, curricular content, and assessment.
Contributors address the following concerns: universality and
equal opportunity, social literacy and citizenship, citizenship
education and curriculum, race, different citizenship patterns in
civic education, assessment, cultivating respect in human
relations, and global citizenship education. Adopting a comparative
approach discussing citizenship education in New Zealand, England,
Iceland, Israel, Ireland, and Europe, the book presents various
debates and develops new frameworks for understanding the
issues.
