This book explores four interrelated themes: rethinking civic
education in light of the diversity of U.S. society; re-examining
these notions in an increasingly interconnected global context;
re-considering the ways that civic education is researched and
practiced; and taking stock of where we are currently through use
of an historical understanding of civic education. There is a gap
between theory and practice in social studies education: while
social studies researchers call for teachers to nurture skills of
analysis, decision-making, and participatory citizenship, students
in social studies classrooms are often found participating in
passive tasks (e.g., quiz and test-taking, worksheet completion,
listening to lectures) rather than engaging critically with the
curriculum. Civic Education for Diverse Citizens in Global Times,
directed at students, researchers and practitioners of social
studies education, seeks to engage this divide by offering a
collection of work that puts practice at the center of research and
theory.
