McLeanUniversity of Ottawa  \nIn this article, we have explored the experiences of students in a teacher educationprogramme designed to promote the effective teaching of global education. Researchto date indicates that, although interest is high among teacher candidates, they oftenlack confidence in their abilities to bring global education into their future classrooms.By examining their understanding of global education, we explored whether thecomplexity and conceptual breadth of global education contributes to this lack ofconfidence. Although there are similarities between teacher candidates’ understand ‐ings of global education and those supported by teacher education programmes,teacher candidates tend to view global education in broader, more vague terms. Bylimiting the broad concept of global education and encouraging a progressively morenuanced understanding, teacher education programmes can better assist teacher can ‐didates to implement their understanding of global education with confidence.  \nKey words: teacher education, global issues, development education, conceptualcomplexity  \nLes auteures se penchent sur la promotion de l’éducation planétaire dans un pro ‐gramme de formation à l’enseignement. Les données réunies jusqu’ici indiquent que,bien que les étudiants en pédagogie soient trèsintéressés par la question, ils ont sou ‐vent peu confiance dans leur aptitude à traiter de l’éducation planétaire dans leurssalles de classe futures. Les auteures se sont demandé si la complexité et l’envergurede l’éducation planétaire contribuent à ce manque d’assurance ; pour ce faire, elles ontexaminé la conception qu’ont ces étudiants en pédagogie de l’éducation planétaire.Bien qu’il y ait des similitudes entre la compréhension de l’éducation planétaire chezles étudiants en pédagogie et dans les programmes de formation à l’enseignement, lesfuturs enseignants ont tendance à considérer l’éducation planétaire en des termesplus vastes et plus vagues. En circonscrivant le concept de l’éducation planétaire eten en favorisant peu à peu une compréhension plus nuancée, les programmes deformation à l’enseignement peuvent mieux aider les étudiants en pédagogie à  \nCANADIAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION 32, 4 (2009): 903‐926©2009 Canadian Society for the Study of Education/Société canadienne pour l’étude de l’éducation  \ntransposer avec confiance leur conception de l’éducation planétaire dans leurs sallesde classe futures.  \nMots clés : formation à l’enseignement, dossiers mondiaux, éducation pour le déve ‐loppement, complexité conceptuelle.  \nConceptually, global education reaches broadly, allowing for depth andnuance, a term that conjures up a rich diversity of values, meanings, anddefinitions. This conceptual complexity, however, leaves room for confu‐sion and uncertainty, making a universal, consistent understanding ofglobal education virtually unattainable. Pike (2000) cites conceptualcomplexity and accompanying lack of clarity as significant issues facingglobal education programmes. For educators committed to the prolifera ‐tion of global education, this lack of conceptual clarity must be ad‐dressed directly to ensure that the meaning of global education does notbecome diluted, and potentially ineffective. Teacher candidates arrive atteacher education programmes with diverse backgrounds and exper‐iences; therefore they have distinct understandings, misunderstandings,and even a lack of awareness of value‐laden concepts such as global is ‐sues. For global education programmes to connect with teacher candi‐dates’ knowledge and to be successfully implemented, programmesmust be both conceptually clear and coherent.  \nIn this article, we explore the experience of a teacher education pro‐gramme to promote effective teaching of global education.
