The Provision for Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) and Citizenship in School-based Elements of Primary Initial Teacher Education

This small-scale research study looks at the PSHE/Citizenship framework and the opportunities for student teachers to understand and experience within school the relationship between values, personal and social development and learning. A questionnaire was given to two sets of student teachers on their final school-based placements. The research suggests that there needs to be greater recognition of the centrality of multi-cultural awareness and understanding within the political literacy section of the PSHE/Citizenship framework. This is the counterpart to a previous study of the opportunities for values education within the university-based elements of Primary Initial Teacher Education ( Mead, 2003 ).     

古典自由主义的公民资格观念及其正义局限

在自由主义传统中,公民资格意味着一系列的权利以及对权利的获得和占有,在个体和共同体的关系上,强调个体性对于共同体之先在性,主张个体不应受共同体过多的限制,公民资格意味着一种法律地位以及法律上对权利的消极保护,公民特征体现为消极公民和消极自由。古典自由主义的这种公民资格观念尽管在学理上承诺了自由和平等,然而却无法在实践上兑现,不可避免地造成原子式的个人以及对共同体价值的忽视。     

政治哲学论域中的公民资格理论研究综述

对于公民资格的概念涵义,围绕公民资格的主体、资格的内容和公民生活的政治体有多种不同的理解。公民资格议题成为当代西方政治哲学的主流话语,具有深刻的历史背景,也是其理论自身的魅力和逻辑演进的结果。公民资格理论研究的主要论题在论辩的两个阶段不同,从而形成自由主义、社群主义和多元主义、后现代公民资格理论等不同流派。     

全球化与公民教育：挑战与回应

作为现代性构成要素的公民教育从一开始就与民族和民主的观念紧密联系在一起。具有这一特征的现代公民教育伴随全球化的进展遇到诸多深层次的挑战。迎接这一挑战构成了20世纪末以来公民教育在世界范围内得到复兴和加强的一个重要背景,而对这一挑战进行恰当的理论与实践回应也正是各国公民教育理论与实践界正在积极探索的课题。在今后相当长一段时间内,如何寻求全球认同与本土认同之间的平衡将是这一恰当回应的关键。

Neoliberal practices amidst social justice orientations: global citizenship education in South Korea

Abstract

Global citizenship education (GCE) positions itself on the global arena as a transformative social justice oriented educational curriculum that addresses the political, social, economic and cultural inequalities brought about through colonisation and neoliberalism on the global and local levels. Through an exploration of the discourse, design and delivery of GCE in the young nation-state of South Korea, we argue that, in fact, GCE reinforces and maintains the hegemonic ideals of global capitalism; core-periphery global and local relationships; and dichotomous views of poverty and inequalities. We argue that these approaches reflect South Korea’s geopolitical realities, but that attitudes towards GCE in South Korea also reflect its cultural norms and values towards working together towards a common good. Ultimately, we call for a more nuanced approach to GCE scholarship in which we move away from theoretical divisions to practical applications of social justice that work within increasingly capitalist/neoliberal interests for a more inclusive world.     

Citizenship,beneficence, and informed consent: the ethics of working in mixed-status families

This article draws from a 23-month ethnographic study conducted in mixed-status Mexican homes to detail the particular methodological concerns that arise when conducting research within these legally complex and vulnerable families. Specifically, the analysis illustrates when and why undocumented parents in one focal family asked the ethnographer to consider legally adopting their two young sons in an effort to obtain equal rights for both children and to mitigate the risk of family separation during deportation. The ethical issues of beneficence, informed consent, and reciprocity raised by this particular situation open onto larger methodological and ethical questions relevant to qualitative and ethnographic researchers working within immigrant communities.     

美国公民资格的理论范式及其在公民教育中的实践

公民资格是理解公民教育的起点和基础。美国公民资格理论范式主要体现为自由主义、共和主义、批判主义和跨国主义公民资格。自由主义和共和主义公民资格作为影响美国公民教育的主导话语,对公民教育实践产生了重要影响。批判主义和跨国主义公民资格以其特有的理论活力对公民教育提出了挑战。美国公民资格理论话语的丰富和发展为公民教育实践提供了参照和启示。     

What future teachers believe about democracy and why it is important

This paper analyses pre-service education student perceptions and perspectives related to education for democracy in Australia. Using a critical pedagogical framework datum from an online survey, it presents both quantitative and qualitative responses of contrasting understandings of democracy. It begins by outlining the concepts of thick and thin democracy and why this is important in relation to contemporary debates about the state of civics and citizenship education, and then explains the conceptual framework of critical pedagogy and methodology. The datum analysed is discussed in relation to neoliberalism and indicates that the pre-service teachers in this study view democracy in a narrow or thin way that may impact on their classroom practice where they would be teaching about but not for democracy. A more critical and thicker understanding of democracy is suggested as essential if we desire our students to become active and transformative citizens.     

公民社会时代学校德育目标的思考

长期以来,我国学校德育工作背负太多期望,德育目标呈现“高”、“大”、“全”倾向,而现实的教育效果可能连“底线”目标都无法达到。进入公民社会时代,学校德育应当把培养合格、负责任的公民作为基本目标。
