Abstract

Purpose The aim of this paper is to highlight the utility of different sources of learning in informal, formal and non-formal venues in lifelong learning developing under variable contextual conditions. This calls for an integration of two fields that have been isolated for too long, namely, citizenship education and peace education. Design/methodology/approach Untrue, indoctrinating and even coercive communications negate learning that contributes to the formation of convictions based in conscientization. Political awareness is imperative for strengthening the human being’s influence as an historical subject and participant in present and future social movements. Findings Traditionally, citizenship education focused on citizens’ understanding of and relation to national political systems and domestic affairs. This focus was later enlarged to both a sub-national civic culture and to international orientations with an increasing interest in the global dimension. Peace education originated in peace research and action embedded in an understanding of peace from a value perspective aiming at transformation towards alternative visions of the future. Learners’ perceptions of problems, conflicts and contradictions ranging from local to global levels are starting points for a politicization approach in peace education. Originality/value It is claimed in this paper that this comprehensive approach in peace education is imperative in citizenship education in any society. The rationale for this integration of citizenship and peace education is that becoming and being a citizen involves a lifelong process of learning aiming at increasing political awareness and influence.
将和平与公民教育联系起来的紧迫性
本文的目的是强调在不同的语境条件下,非正式、正式和非正式场所的不同学习资源在终身学习发展中的效用。这就要求将孤立已久的两个领域,即公民教育与和平教育结合起来。设计/方法/方法不真实的、灌输式的、甚至是强制性的交流否定了有助于形成基于责任心的信念的学习。政治意识是加强人类作为历史主体和参与者在当前和未来社会运动中的影响力的必要条件。传统上,公民教育侧重于公民对国家政治制度和国内事务的理解及其关系。这一重点后来扩大到次国家公民文化和国际方向,对全球层面的兴趣日益浓厚。和平教育起源于和平研究和行动,从价值的角度理解和平,旨在向未来的替代愿景转变。学习者对从地方到全球层面的问题、冲突和矛盾的看法是和平教育政治化方法的起点。原创性/价值本文认为,这种和平教育的综合方法在任何社会的公民教育中都是必不可少的。将公民意识与和平教育结合起来的理由是,成为和成为公民需要一个终生学习的过程,旨在提高政治意识和影响力。
