Particular reference is drawn to the citizenship education framework, an addition to the 2013 revision of Ontario Curriculum: Social Studies, Grades 1 to 6; History, and Geography, Grades 7 and 8. Teachers are seemingly charged with teaching students to be global citizens, with little indication as to what it means to be a global citizen. The vague expectation in the framework isan example of the history of the discrepancy in interpreting global citizenship as the phrase“global citizenship” is made up of an adjective and a noun which individually indicate particular attributions that do not make sense when used together. Using the OED definition as a starting point, this article defines “citizen” and “citizenship, in the context of globalization and examines the historical shts in the allocation of rights and responsibilities, attributes of the terms, and how they came to be recognized globally, and eventually in schools.  \nKeywords: global, globalization, citizenship, curriculum, Ontario  \nEvelina Osiadacz graduated from the Master of Education Program at Brock University, with a specific focus on global citizenship and the discrepancy of the framework in Ontario curriculum documents. After researching the different ways in which teachers in Ontario approach global citizenship in their classrooms, Evelina intends to continue her research while living abroad to understand how global citizenship is interpreted, and to draw comparisons between methods in Ontario.  \nEmail: [eo10rw@brocku.ca](eo10rw@brocku.ca)  \nThe Ontario Curriculum: Social Studies, Grades 1 to 6; History, and Geography, Grades 7 and 8, 2013 revision includes a citizenship education framework that directs teachers to provide students with opportunities “to learn about what it means to be a responsible, active citizen in the community of the classroom and the diverse communities to which they belong within and outside of the school,” (Ministry of Education, 2013, p. 9) . Similar frameworks have been implemented by other provincial Ministries of Education, but as I work in Ontario, I will use our provincial guidelines paradigmatically. By exercising responsibilities both locally and globally, the aim of the framework is to encourage students to assume roles as informed global citizens. In practice, however, global citizenship education means anything from attending a “Me to We”day to a sleepover in the gym without dinner to recognize global poverty and hunger. The term“global citizenship,” however, is not more clearly defined in the guidelines although there is a vague assertion that global citizenship should be included in the curriculum teachers are expected to teach. There are no clear guidelines, however, explaining how teachers are supposed to assess whether or not the curriculum expectations on global citizenship have been met. What a global citizen is and what the implications of assuming the responsibilities of a global citizenship are remains unclear.  \nThe phrase “global citizenship” is made up of an adjective and a noun: “global” and“citizenship” are combined to indicate membership in a community made up of all the people in the world. As the term “citizenship” originated in the local and the particular and specified both rights and responsibilities, the idea that citizenship could be global presents immediate problems. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED, 2011) defines “citizen” as an inhabitant of a city or town, possessing civic rights and privileges. An early use of citizen is in The Wycliffite Bible (early version, c.1384) in Acts 21:39 where Paul associates himself with being a citizen from Tarsus, an ancient city in southern Turkey. Further uses indicate a similar pattern of a person or groups of people relating ","cbCaidEuIjc7jUPI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidEuIjc7jUPI","pdf",404092,"English","# Abstract\n# Background: Ontario’s citizenship education framework\n## Expectations and lack of clarity\n# Conceptual analysis of “global citizenship”\n## Origins of “citizen” and “citizenship”\n# Historical development of rights and responsibilities","[{\"question\":\"What issue does the paper focus on regarding global citizenship in Ontario’s curriculum?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on the ambiguity of what teachers are expected to teach as “global citizenship,” including unclear meanings and teaching implications.\"},{\"question\":\"Which Ontario curriculum revision is referenced?\",\"answer\":\"The paper references the 2013 revision of Ontario Curriculum: Social Studies (Grades 1 to 6) and History and Geography (Grades 7 and 8) that includes a citizenship education framework.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper define or support its analysis of “global citizenship”?\",\"answer\":\"It breaks the term into “global” and “citizenship,” then uses definitions and historical examples (including OED-based meanings) to examine how rights, responsibilities, and belonging developed from local to larger contexts.\"}]","Global Citizenship - Research Paper | PDF",1792079843]
