If what unite the several ethnicities are paradigms that are vestiges of colonialism, and other scaffolding commonalities that necessitate the creation of a new identity, the question then is are these constructs synergistic enough to smoothen over the differing schisms and create long-lasting unifying parameters that moderate true nationalism? Using sections from selected novels, this article attempts to appraise the nebulous narratives that connect Nigeria’s various ethnicities, despite the presence of seemingly irreconcilable ethnic divergences. The study traces the manifestation of ethnicity in Nigerian fiction from the biased presentation by the first generation of writers to the ‘national’ fictionalization by contemporary writers. It discovers that though there is improvement in the presentation of multiculturalism and ethnicity in contemporary Nigerian fiction, there is still much to be written about the multicultural aspect of Nigeria’s postcolonial experience. The article concludes by theorizing that failure to harness the merits of the commonalities has been the bane of Nigeria since independence and proposes a re-engineering of multicultural ethics and also admonishes for a reconstruction of a new national character.","PeriodicalId":358997,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching & Learning","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131359809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on the role adolescents’ citizenship self-efficacy plays in linking civic knowledge and classroom climate to civic engagement. We use data from 4838 Chilean students (M\u0000 age = 14.16) who participated in the International Civic and Citizenship Study (ICCS). Using structural equation modelling, a mediational model with multilevel clustering showed that civic knowledge positively affects formal participation, but not civil participation, while an open classroom climate increases both forms of engagement during adolescence. Citizenship self-efficacy mediates the relation between classroom climate and both types of participation. We discuss the implications of these findings for the design citizenship education curricula for youth who live in contexts of inequality.","PeriodicalId":358997,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching & Learning","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134078001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing a narrative inquiry as the research method, this article is also tailored to see how Islamic ideology intersects, interferes and/or influences the teaching of citizenship. This study found that, to some extent, the teachers have experienced ambiguity and dilemma in presenting citizenship topics in the CE classes due to their personal interpretation of Islam vs. the state’s interests and ideology. This study suggests that CE in these Islamic schools could lead to an orientation different from what the state wants to achieve.","PeriodicalId":358997,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching & Learning","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126563151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Political participation examined in this study includes both conventional participation (legal protest, electoral participation and informal participation) and unconventional participation (illegal protest). Previous studies of adolescents’ political participation intentions have mainly been concerned with democratic regimes while this study focuses on authoritarian and hybrid regimes, such as those in Mainland China and Hong Kong. Adopting a comparative and quantitative methodology, this study utilized secondary data analysis with large samples. This study found that students from both societies showed a weak endorsement of illegal protest but a strong endorsement of all three types of conventional participation. Mainland Chinese students demonstrated a stronger endorsement of conventional participation than their Hong Kong counterparts. To understand inner-group difference, students were clustered into four groups (Alienated-Radical Participators, Supportive-Active Participators, Loyal-Minimal Participators and Critical-Active Participators) based on their political attitudes (political trust and political efficacy) and intentions for future political participation. Results suggest that Hong Kong had more Alienated-Radical Participators while Mainland China had more Supportive-Active Participators. In general, Mainland Chinese students were more regime-supporting and Hong Kong students were more regime-challenging.","PeriodicalId":358997,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching & Learning","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130286726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Activities in the class centred upon discussions of social justice-oriented texts. Findings revealed that when students engaged in texts dealing with social justice issues, they were able to take a critical stance on them. Based on the contextualized understanding of the texts, counternarratives and society, the students expanded their critical conversations about issues of power and privilege, especially white privilege. Critical literacy helped them internalize democratic values and civic virtues. Ultimately, this study provided a venue for children to increase agency and develop critical sociopolitical awareness as justice-oriented citizens who seek equity in our society.","PeriodicalId":358997,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching & Learning","volume":"272 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134022131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results from a structural equation model allowed us to confirm our three hypotheses: (1) the civic mindedness variable is a valid construct; (2) civic mindedness positively predicts future career commitments and aspirations; and (3) civic mindedness mediated the relationship among certain PSTs’ certification choices and their future career commitments and aspirations, except their perceptions of how long they plan to persist in the field. Findings from this study suggest that teacher education programmes should consider assessing PSTs’ level of civic mindedness, emphasizing PSTs’ future commitments and aspirations in the field.","PeriodicalId":358997,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching & Learning","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114892434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the institutional sense of belonging of minority teachers to their school and its association with sociodemographic (first language, education and gender) and systemic variables (seniority, heterogeneity of training college, teaching discipline, role at school and education system). We found that sociodemographic variables had a much stronger association to the teachers’ sense of belonging than systemic variables did. Particularly, a strong relationship was found between the teachers’ sense of belonging and what they defined as their first language. Conversely, most systemic variables had no relation to institutional belonging, except teaching discipline. The findings indicate the difficulties education systems have in incorporating minority teachers or even moderating their sense of otherness by offering the opportunity of recognition of all teachers. We argue that this stems from native language being a core/basic status, whether it is related to immigration or to a national divide.","PeriodicalId":358997,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching & Learning","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123911450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
