Decolonizing Indigenons Education: Beyond Culturalism: Toward Post-Cultural Strategies, Yatta Kanu

Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale

As a response to the recent international calls to decolonize the education of Indigenous students and increase school success among them by including indigenous knowledge into school curricula, aspects of Aboriginall cultural knowledge/perspectives were integrated into the Social Studies curriculum in a Canadian inner city school in order to appraise the effect on academic achievement, class attendance and school retention among some Canadian Aboriginal students. Results suggest some optimism about increasing school success among these students by integrating Aboriginal perspectives. Five effective approaches to the integration of Indigenous perspectives into the school curriculum and some critical elements of instruction that …

La Guerre Et Le Génocide De 1994: Impacts Et Nouveaux Espoirs Sur L'Éducation Des Jeunes Filles Au Rwanda, Donatille Mujawamariya, Susan Judith Ship

Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale

A travers un cadre theorique femme/genre et developpement, les auteures menent une discussion sur la sous-scolarisation des filles au Rwanda. Elles explorent ensuite comment les inegalites de genre interagissent avec des inegalites socioeconomiques et regionales pour entraver l'acces equitable et la participation des filles it l'education formelle au cours des periodes coloniale, apres l'independance et postgenocide. Dans la suite, elles montrent comment les organisations de femmes jouent, actuellement, un role crucial dans la promotion de l'empowerment des filles et l'equite de genre en education a travers la conscientisation a la problematique de genre, des programmes et activites innovateurs.

This article delves into the issues of post secondary education refonn in China and brings into attention problems that occur when policies are institutionalized in a centralized decentralization setting.

Hace veintidós años nací en un cuarto pequeño que mi papá construyó en Carolina del Norte. Entré al mundo de una manera natural, siendo bienvenida por mi familia, amigos y una partera. Allí crecí con mis padres y mi hermano en una comunidad rural que cuenta con tierras comunales. Todas las familias de la comunidad están conectadas por lazos fuertes de amistad y comparten las responsabilidades del mantenimiento de la tierra comunal. Tengo muchos recuerdos de mi niñez cuando estaba ayudando en el jardín, recogiendo frutas del huerto comunal, y asistiendo a reuniones y fiestas de la comunidad. Desde los …

Political Efficacy And Expected Participation Among Lower And Upper Secondary Students. A Comparative Analysis With Data From The Iea Civic Education Study, Wolfram Schulz

Civics and Citizenship Assessment

The process of political socialisation of adolescents includes more than the acquisition of knowledge about society, citizenship and the political system. In a democracy, citizens are expected to participate actively in the political process. Active participation, however, requires citizens to believe in their own ability to influence the course of politics, in other words, to feel politically efficacious. Therefore, enhancing control beliefs and the willingness to act politically could be viewed as important areas of civic and citizenship education. This paper examines changes in levels and relationships regarding efficacy and expected participation using data from students at different stages of …

Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale

The themes explore planetary philosophical perspectives; understand values as practice and human rights as foundational to values; set geopolitical considerations of values in postcolonial perspectives and pedagogical perspectives in transnational contexts; characterize citizenship education as a contested field; and reflect upon the relevance of transnationalism to the values debate. In a …

Bilingual Education In Western Canada And Chinese Language Minority Students’ Self Perceptions Of Their Citizenship And Ethnicity, Joe Zhou Wu

Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale

Various bilingual education models can either empower or disable minority students according to their goals, structures and human relations (Akkari, 1998). This article presents the findings of a case study on a bilingual program that exists in Western Canada. It examines the structure and contents of the program, and then, based on interviews with a group of Grade 6 bilingual students, discusses their self perceptions of their citizenship, ethnic identity and multicultural thinking.

Selon leurs buts, leurs structures et leurs relation humaines, les modèles d’éducation bilingue peuvent donner plus de pouvoir ou en enlever aux élèves des minorités (Akkari, 1998). …

Citizenship Education For Child Citizens, Brian Howe

Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale

One important reason for the inadequacy of current citizenship education is that children – defined here as all young persons under age 18 - are rarely seen and treated as citizens in their own right. To the extent that children are educated about citizenship, they typically learn about their rights and responsibilities as future adult citizens. They rarely learn that they are citizens of the present and they are rarely treated as such. This article reviews the modern meaning of citizenship and shows, in reference to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, that children indeed are citizens …
