Research paper thumbnail of The Global Imperative for Higher Education: Cultivating Students’ Ontological Relationships to Multiscalar Spaces through Glonacal Agency

Education Sciences

This establishes a new purpose for higher education, namely to move from the notion that institutions must physically house students to that of cultivating students’ glonacal agency through the online learning environment. Such a model intrinsically motivates students to navigate the multiscalar spaces (i.e., global, national, and local spheres) as part of their higher education learning and to lead actions that do not subjugate the interests and rights of communities in diverse spaces. In serving the new purpose of higher education, online graduate education, particularly asynchronous comparative and international education courses, can play an imperative role. This essay, thus, establishes an ontological and pedagogical conceptualization of how comparative and international education can prepare students to develop glonaca...

The study also makes recommendations for teacher training curricula and pedagogy to prepare these students better for their citizenship educator roles. A questionnaire and interview data were gathered for this descriptive study. Fifth-year students in secondary social studies teacher preparation programs in Canada, England, and the United States completed a 106-item questionnaire on societal trends impacting life in the next 25 years, citizenship characteristics deemed necessary to people to cope with and manage these trends, and strategies, approaches and innovations recommended for consideration and action by educational policy makers during the next 25 years. Of the 147 research participants, 43 interviews were conducted via Internet, telephone, and in-person. Significant challenges facing society in the future are identified with recommendations presented to address those challenges in teacher education. (Contains 15 references.) (EH)

Findings from focus group interviews conducted with 50 Xhosa teachers from all seven primary and intermediate schools in a township outside Cape Town depict the cultural contours of democracy and how the teachers reaffirm and question the dominant Westernoriented democratic narrative. Through ubuntu, defined as the virtue of being human premised upon respect, the Xhosa teachers interrupt the prevailing rightsandresponsibilities discourse to interpose a conception of democracy based on rights, responsibilities, and respect. Society and schools, in their view, fall short in educating young learners for democratic citizenship in South Africa; their insights offer ways for formal schooling to improve upon its democratic mission.

The Citizenship Education Policy Study was carried out by four national and/or multinational teams totaling 26 researchers, all specialists in citizenship education and/or research methodology, and was a pioneering effort with respect to research networking among exchange partner universities in Asia, Europe and North America. Each of the partner universities, Chulalongkom in Thailand, Hiroshima in Japan, Amsterdam in the Netherlands and the lead institution, Minnesota in the USA, had previous bilateral exchange agreements with one another. However, this was the first time that all four had agreed to cooperate in a multinational research endeavor. A total of 182 policy experts from a broad range of fields of endeavor participated as panelists over the interview and subsequent two survey rounds of the study which employed a cultural futures modification of the Ethnographic Delphi Futures Research methodology (EDFR). This method is designed to achieve as much consensus as possible amongst the participating panelists over the several rounds of a study in order to best inform public policy. acquired almost unconsciously in a variety of settings both in formalized settings and in the wider community. study: Citizenship is a set of characteristics of the citizen of the 21" century given and agreed upon by a panel of experts including educational, political, socio-cultural and economic dimensions at the local, national and intemationallevels. Once the research teams were established, the first task of their members was to carry out an extensive program of background reading in both the citizenship education and emerging global trends literature, in order to ensure that each of the 26 researchers had the requisite foundation in these areas going into the research process over the next several years. Further, the information gleaned from this reading also was one of the bases for designing the interview and Delphi questions. This was a very time consuming but necessary part of the initial phase of the study. Thus, before going into the details of the conduct of the study, it is necessary to review, briefly, the historical and contemporary issues related to citizenship education, and, to a lesser extent, the global trends literature, to set the context for the subsequent inquiry. First, the citizenship education literature. ' I
