With increasing risks and uncertainties from sociopolitical changes and the global pandemic, teachers are facing tremendous stress which has affected their self-efficacy. This cross-sectional study of 1614 teachers from 50 primary schools in Hong Kong investigates how teachers’ perception of emotional competences and their emotional labour strategies relate to their self-efficacy in moral and character education via confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling . The results reveal that both teachers’ emotional competences and teachers’ emotional labour strategies are positively associated with teachers’ self-efficacy in moral and character education. Understanding the relationships among emotional competences, emotional labour strategies and teachers' self-efficacy may be the first step in intervention implementation and effective policy development that could improve teachers’ self-efficacy in their provision of moral and character education.","PeriodicalId":38020,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching and Learning","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136130271","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}

The aim of this article is to create an analytical-interpretive model for the didactic use of protest songs in social science education, supplemented by examples of learning tasks for pupils. The article describes the historical context of the events in Czechoslovakia in August 1968. The research focuses on the analysis and interpretation of the lyrics and music of selected protest songs to create a general analytical-interpretive model usable in school teaching of social sciences. The research into selected protest songs has found both similarities and differences in the motifs and symbols used, as well as in the overall character of the lyrics and melodies. The constructed analytical-interpretive model in connection with the didactic use of protest songs includes the level of motivation, analysis and interpretation, and creative and productive activities. The specific questions and tasks for pupils are applicable in school practice.","PeriodicalId":38020,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching and Learning","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135307163","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}

In the intervening period teacher candidates participated in guided reflective practice to help them process scholarly books, peer-reviewed articles, documentary film and first-person narratives regarding undocumented students and their families. The pre-data indicate most teacher candidates are unaware of undocumented students and the issues they face in school and society. The post-data suggest that encouraging teacher candidates to critically reflect on information regarding undocumented students has potential to make candidates more effective teachers of undocumented students.","PeriodicalId":38020,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching and Learning","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297824","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}

Yet, determining the desired purposes of GCE is contested as it is shaped by different perspectives on globalization, and conceptualized through different discourses in different contexts. This article uses Biesta’s three purposes of education – qualification, socialization and subjectification as a theoretical framework to examine the purposes that the K-6 geography curriculum in the Australian Curriculum serves in relation to developing global citizenship competencies through an analysis of the curriculum policy. Our analysis shows that without a clear purpose for global citizenship in the curriculum policy, global understanding is consistently related to Australia as a nation state when represented at all, limiting learning opportunities to develop global thinking that supports a critical democratic discourse of global citizenship through the subjectification purpose of GCE. Instead, the K-6 geography curriculum is largely invested in socialization towards neo-liberal ends and a passing qualification function that prepares students to be ‘knowledgeable’ as they enter the world.","PeriodicalId":38020,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching and Learning","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135299017","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}

To engage students’ interest, it is generally recommended that teachers provide experiences of simulations, games and themed projects. There are, however, philosophical, legal, empirical and pedagogical justifications for basing citizenship education on experiential learning in which students actually perform as citizens, giving voice to their own concerns and taking appropriate action. A qualitative study introduced students in an Israeli elementary school to experiential learning of active citizenship – complete rounds of observing, thinking, doing and feeling – with the help of the model for Practising Participatory Citizenship (PPC). Students were encouraged to make suggestions for improving everyday life at school. With the guidance of PPC, small groups voiced their views, decided what needs were most urgent, planned changes and carried out their plans. Data show that the structure of PPC enabled students in groups with members of diverse ages to communicate respectfully, present reasoned arguments, take collaborative action and reflect on their accomplishments. Students acting as participating citizens were enthusiastic about the process and acquired sensitivity to the diversity of group members’ needs. There are indications that practising participation and voice throughout the years of schooling can ensure the internalization of a habitus that augers well for good citizenship in adulthood. Their teachers, however, found it difficult to stick to the role of facilitators. To enable potential facilitators to make the necessary adaptive change in their perspective, future implementations of PPC with school children could be preceded by facilitators’ intensive practice of participation and voice.","PeriodicalId":38020,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching and Learning","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135298805","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}

In the second part, 34 of the 57 Russian-speaking teachers answered an acculturation questionnaire and two open-ended questions. The findings, both quantitative and qualitative, indicate positive integration of FSU immigrant teachers in Israel. Their feelings towards the school team and management were no different than those of other teachers. The teachers described a sense of belonging through shared care for students, shared content-related teamwork, friendships and school events. Differences were found in favour of veteran Israeli teachers in the percentage of homeroom teachers and managerial positions.

The study was based on survey responses from about 1500 students. The students’ experiences of school democracy were operationalized as a collective deliberative communication among fellow students and teachers. Three different explanatory factors were considered: the significance of gender, gender context and the gendered content of the educational programmes. The results showed that a higher share of male students in a class is associated with poorer experiences of democracy. However, educational programmes with a traditional male content were proven favourable regarding school democracy. Since the gender context has one effect and the contents of the education programme affects in the opposite direction, the analytical separation of the variables was necessary to reveal the hidden equality problem of school democracy. Gender context does matter.","PeriodicalId":38020,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Teaching and Learning","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135255555","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}
