Civic
and Citizenship Education
Cogan, J.J.
(1999).
Developing
the Civic Society: The Role of Civic Education.
Bandung: CICED.
Civic Education “…the foundation course
work in school designed to prepare young citizens for an active role in their communities
in their adult lives”. Citizenship Education or
Education for Citizenship “…both these in school
experiencess as well as out of school or non formal/informal learning
which takes place in the family, the religious organization, community organizations,
the media, etc which help to shape the totality of the citizen” (Cogan, 1999:4).
Attributes of Citizenship

and Ray Derricott. (1998).

The five attributes of
citizenship: 1) a sense of identity, 2) the enjoyment of certain rights, 3) the
fulfilment of corresponding obligations, 4) a degree of interest and
involvement in public affairs, and 5) an acceptance of basic societal values.
All five are conveyed through a wide variety of institutions, both governmental
and non governmental, including the media, but they are usually seen as a
particular responsibility of the school. Citizenship education, in the broadest
sense, is an important task in all contemporary societies (Cogan and Derricot,
1998: 2-3).

The four dimensions embodied
in our conceptualization of multidimensional citizenship are personal, social,
temporal and spatial (Cogan and Derricott, 1998:11).

A citizen was defined as
‘a constituent member of society’. Citizenship, on the other hand, was
said to be ‘a set of characteristics of being a citizen’. And finally, citizenship
education, the underlying focal point of the study, was defined as ‘the
contribution of education to development
of those characteristics of being a citizen’ (Cogan and Derricott, 1998:13).

this term is intended to describe the complex, multifaceted conceptualization
of citizenship and citizenship education that will be needed if citizens are to
cope with the challenges (1999:115).

Education for citizenship is
concerned with both the personal development of students and the political and
social development of society at local, national and international levels. On a personal level, CE is about
integration into society. It is about overcoming structural barriers to
equality: challenging racism and sexism in institutions, for instance… on
political and social level it is about creating a social order that will help
provide security without the need for repression.
A Continuum of Citizenship
Education
Kerr, David. (1999).
Citizenship
Education: An International Comparison.
England:

Citizenship is conceptualised
and contested along a continuum, which range from a minimal to a maximal
interpretation (McLaughliin, 1992). Minimal: Thin, Exclusive,
Elitist, Civics education, Formal, Content led, Knowledge based, Didactic
transmission, Easier to achieve, and measure in practice. Maximal:
Thick, Inclusive, Activist, Citizenship education, Participative,
Process led, Values based, Interactive interpretation, More difficult to
achieve, and measure in practice
(Kerr, 1999:14).
Approaches to Citizenship Education
Kerr, David.
(1999).
Citizenship
Education: An International Comparison.
England:
National Foundation for Educational Research-NFER
Citizenship education
comprises three approaches:
1. Education ABOUT citizenship
focuses on
providing students with sufficient knowledge and understanding of national
history and the structures and processes of government and political life.
2. Education THROUGH
citizenship involves
students learning by doing, through active, participative experiences in the
school or local community and beyond. This learning reinforces the knowledge
component.
3. Education FOR citizenship encompasses the other two
strands and involves equipping students with a set of tools
(knowledge and understanding, skills and aptitudes, values and dispositions) which enable
them to participate actively and sensibly in the roles and responsibilities
they encounter in their adult lives. This strand links citizenship education with
the whole education experience of students (Kerr, 1999:15-16).
Framework for Citizenship
Education
Quigley, C.N.
Buchanan Jr. J.H. & Bahmueller, C.F. eds. (1991).
Civitas: A
Framework for Civic Education.
Center for
Civic Education: Calabasas.
The Center for Citizenship
Education of the United States of America proposed the three interrelated components
of civic virtues, civic knowledge and civic skills as the aims and/or framework
for citizenship education.(Quigley, Buchanan Jr., and Bahmueller, 1991).
1. Civic virtues consists
of the traits of character, disposition, and commitments necessary for the preservation
and improvement of democratic governance and citizenship. Examples of civic
virtues are individual responsibility, self-discipline, integrity, patriotism,
toleration of diversity, patience and consistency, and compassion for others.
Commitments include, a dedication to human rights, equality, the common good,
and a rule of law.
2. Civic knowledge covers
fundamental ideas and information that learners must know and use to become
effective and responsible citizens of a democracy. Civic knowledge normally
includes types and systems of government, politics, political institutions and
processes and the role of citizens in relation to the governance.
3. Civic skills include
the intellectual skills required to understand, compare, explain and evaluate various
principles and practices of government and citizenship. They also include the
participatory skills that enable citizens to monitor and influence public
policies (Quiqley 2000).
Global Trends in Civic
Education
Patrick, J.J.
(1997). ‘Global Trends in Civic Education for Democracy’.
ERIC Clearing
for Social Studies/Social Science Education,
Patrick (1997) proposed nine
global trends that have broad potential for influencing citizenship education
in the constitutional democracies of the world. They are:
(1) Conceptualising of
citizenship education in terms of the three interrelated components of civic knowledge, civic skills
and civic virtue.
(2) Systematic teaching of
core concepts about democratic governance and citizenship.
(3) Analysis of case studies
by students to apply core concepts or principles.
(4) Development of
decision-making skills.
(5) Comparative and
international analysis of government and citizenship.
(6) Development of
participatory skills and civic virtues through cooperative learning activities.
(7) The use of literature to
teach civic virtues.
(8) Active learning of civic
knowledge, skills and virtues.
(9) The connection of content
and process in teaching and learning of civic knowledge, skills
and
virtues.
Teaching of values
Williams, Mary
M. (2000).
“Models of
Character Education: Perspectives and Developmental Issues.”
Journal of
Humanistic Counseling, Education and Development 39, 1, 32–40.
“… it is next to impossible to
separate the teaching of values from schooling itself; it is a part of
schooling whether people are willing to acknowledge it or not. The question ...
is how the educator can influence
students’ character development effectively so that the impact is positive”
(Williams 2000:34).
Conceptions of Character
Lickona,
Thomas. (1991).
Educating
for Character: How Our Schools Can Teach Respect and Responsibility. New York, NY: Bantam Books
“Good character consists of
knowing the good, desiring the good, and doing the good …”
(Lickona, 1991:51)
Much of the debate about
whether and how to teach for character is tied into a debate about what “character” means.
Character can refer to:
• personality traits or
virtues such as responsibility and respect for others
• emotions such as guilt or
sympathy
• social skills such as
conflict management or effective communication
• behaviours such as sharing
or helping, or
• cognitions such as belief in
equality or problem-solving strategies.
Thomas Lickona, describes
character as “a reliable inner disposition to respond to situations in a
morally good way. Character so conceived has three interrelated parts: moral
knowing, moral feeling, and moral behaviour” (Lickona, 1991:51).
Citizen Participation

Civic Engagement. Park University International
Citizen Participation is
fundamental to democratic governance. The problem has been addressed in the

technology to involve citizens in the decision making process (D’Agostino,
2006:2).

Available at: www.citizen.org.uk/education/resources/html
At Oxfam education we feel
that our curriculum for global citizenship is an extremely useful planning tool for teachers
wanting to help young people make sense of the world and to develop not only
knowledge and understanding but also to skills and attitudes to do so. We see a global citizen as someone
who:
1. is aware of the wider world
and has a sense of their own roles as a world citizen
2. respects and values
diversity
3. has an understanding of how
the world works economically, politically, socially, culturally,
technologically and
environmentally
4. is outraged by social
injustice
5. participates in and
contributes to the community at a large of levels from the local to the
global
6. is willing to act to make
the world a more equitable and sustainable place
7. takes responsibility for
their actions.
Effective Education for Citizenship
Advisory Group
on Education and Citizenship and the Teaching of Democracy in
Schools.
(1998).
Education
for Citizenship and the Teaching of Democracy in Schools.
(Crick Report).
London: QCA.
The Citizenship Advisory Group
defined ‘effective education for citizenship’ as comprising three separate
but interrelated strands. These are to be developed progressively through a
young person’s education and training experiences, from pre-school to adulthood
(DfEE, 1998:11–13) namely:
1. social and moral
responsibility: ‘...children learning from the very beginning self
confidence and socially and morally responsible behaviour both in and beyond
the classroom, both towards those in authority and towards each other’.
This strand acts as an essential pre-condition for the other two strands;
2. community involvement:
‘...learning about and becoming helpfully involved in the life and concerns
of their communities, including learning through community involvement and
service to the community’. This, of course, like the other two strands, is
by no means limited to children’s time in school;
3. political literacy: ‘...pupils
learning about, and how to make themselves effective in, public life through
knowledge, skills and values’. Here the term ‘public life’ is used in its
broadest sense to encompass realistic knowledge of, and preparation for,
conflict resolution and decision making, whether involving issues at
local, national, European or global level.

Learning activities such as
the following tend to promote character traits needed to participate effectively.
For example:
- Civility, courage, self-discipline, persistence, concern for the common good, respect for others, and other traits relevant to citizenship can be promoted through cooperative learning activities and in class meetings, student councils, simulated public hearings, mock trials, mock elections, and students courts.
- Self-discipline, respect for others, civility, punctuality, personal responsibility, and other character traits can be fostered in school and community service learning projects, such as tutoring younger students, caring for the school environment, and participating in voter registration drives.
- Recognition of shared values and a sense of community can be encouraged through celebration of national and state holidays, and celebration of the achievements of classmates and local citizens.
- Attentiveness to public affairs can be encouraged by regular discussions of significant current events.
- Reflection on ethical considerations can occur when studnts are asked to evaluate, take, and defend positions on issues that involve ethical considerations, that is, issues concerning good and bad, rights and wrong.
- Civic mindedness can be increased if schools work with civic organizations, bring community leaders into the classroom to discuss issues with students, and provide opportunities for students to observe and/or participate in civic organizations (Branson, 1998:15).

Character is ultimately who we
are expressed in action, in how we live, in what we do – and so the children
around us know, they absorb and take stock of what they observe, namely us-we
adults living and doing things in a certain spirit, getting on with one another

Citizenship education should
help students develop thoughtful and clarified identifications with their
cultural communities and their nation-states. It should also help them to
develop clarified global identifications and deep understandings of their roles
in the world community. Students need to understand how life in their cultural
communities and nations influences other nations and the cogent influence that
international events have on their daily lives.

Paper from

Washington, DC:
Center for Civic Education
Civic Education is an
important component of education that cultivates citizens to participate in the
public life of a democracy, to use their rights and to discharge their responsibilities
with the necessary knowledge and skills. American schools have advanced a
distinctively civic mission since the earliest days of this Republic. It was
immediately recognized that a free society must ultimately depend on its
citizens, and that the way to infuse the people with the necessary qualities is
through education. As one step of this education process, higher education has
been assuming the mission to foster citizens with the spirit to lead. The
literature on this contribution, and civic education in general, is
characterized by its broad time range, its composition of diverse voices from
all kinds of participating social units (from individual to government), and
the existence of rich international and comparative studies (Branson, 1998).

The concept of democracy and
citizenship are complex and can, therefore, not be encompassed within simple
definitions. There are multiple version of democratic citizenship and even these are changing
over time, in correspondence with social, economic, and political developments
on global and local levels. Thus the concept of democratic citizenship can be
depicted as being constantly ‘under construction’ (Veldhuis, 1997). (Fachrudin,

Kofi Annan, secretary general
of the united nations, in this message for human rights day 2000 asks: Why is human rights education
so important? Because, as it says in the constitution of the united nations educational,
scientific, and cultural organisation (UNESCO), ‘since wars begin in the minds
of men (sic), it is in the minds of men that the defence of peace must be constructed’.
The more people know their rights, and the more they respect those of others,
the better the chance that they will live together in peace. Only when people
are educated about human rights can we hope prevent human rights violations,
and thus prevent conflict, as well (2000).

They are among the qualities
needed to teach well about human rights in civic education.
First, teach the idea of human
rights within a framework of core concepts by which representative democracy is
defined and understood internationally.
Second, confront the complexity and
controversy associated with defining, using, and justifying the idea of human
rights in a constitutional and representative democracy.
Third, examine the inevitable and ongoing
conflict in every genuine constitutional and representative democracy between
majority rule and minority rights.
Fourth, teach comparatively and
internationally about human rights in a constitutional and representative
democracy.
Fifth, teach the civic dispositions
and virtues that enable citizens to secure equal protection for the human
rights of everyone in their community through the institutions of
constitutional and representative democracy (Patric, John J, 2006:12).
The Reason and Aim Civic Education

The first and primary reason
for civic education in a constitutional democracy is that the health of the
body politic requires the widest possible civic participation of its citizens
consistent with the public good and the protection of individual rights. The
aim of civic education is therefore not just any kind of participation by any
kind of citizen; it is the participation of informed and responsible citizens,
skilled in the arts of deliberation and effective action (Quigley and Bahmueller,
1991:3).

Civic education in a
democratic is education in self-government. Self-government means active
participation in self-governance, not passive acquiescence in the actions of
others (Quigley and Bahmueller, 1991:3).

No one’s civic potential can
be fulfilled without forming and maintaining an intention to pursue the common
good; to protect individuals from unconstitutional abuses by government and
from attacks on their rights from any source, public or private; to seek the
broad knowledge and wisdom that informs judgment of public affairs; and to
develop the skill to use that knowledge effectively. Such values, perspectives,
knowledge, and skill in civic matters make responsible and effective
participation possible. Fostering these qualities constitutes the mission of
civic education (Quigley and Bahmueller, 1991:3).

Virtue is the principle of
republican government…Virtue in a republic is love of one’s country, that is, love of equality. It
is not a moral virtue, not a Christian, but a public virtue (Montesquieu,

In the CIVITAS curriculum
framework, civic virtue is described in terms of civic dispositions and civic
commitment.
1. Civic dispositions refer
to those attitudes and habits of mind of the citizen that are conducive to the
healthy functioning and common good of the democratic system.
2. Civic commitments refer
to the freely given, reasoned commitments of the citizen to the fundamental
values and principles of American constitutional democracy (Quigley and
Bahmueller, 1991:11).

Civic education’s unique
responsibility is not simply to increase participation rates, but to nurture
competent and responsible participation. Such participation involves more than
merely influencing or attempting to influence public policy. Competent and
responsible participation must based upon moral deliberation, knowledge, and
reflective inquiry (Quigley and Bahmueller, 1991:40).
