The transformative integration of generative AI in fostering Global Citizenship Education: Implications for pedagogy and policy

Abstract

This exploratory research with literature and survey through open-ended questionnaires collectively examines global citizenship education (GCED) from various angles, including its conceptual frameworks, implementation strategies across different educational levels and regions, particularly the Asia-Pacific, and its relationship with sustainable development and national identities by policy recommendations and practical guidance for integrating GCED into national education systems, curricula, and teacher training, emphasizing the need for stakeholder engagement and addressing issues such as inequality and diversity. It critically analyzes different typologies and ideologies within GCED, such as neoliberal, liberal, and critical perspectives. In contrast, others have investigated the measurement of GCED outcomes in large-scale assessments and the role of adult learning and education in fostering global citizenship. The impact of emerging technologies, such as generative AI, on GCED is also considered in terms of ethical implementation and equitable access to it.
