Global citizenship education in a politically polarised country: Thai teachers’ perspectives

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: This study tracks how 12 Thai public secondary school teachers who participated in training on global citizenship education (GCED) cultivate students' global citizenship qualities and the challenges they face. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The findings identified participants' views of the training they received, their perspectives on the definition of a global citizen, and the ways they promote their students’ global citizenship. The factors that hinder their practices were also determined. This research sheds light on GCED practice in Thai public schools, contributing to knowledge in the GCED field and helping define ways to disseminate GCED into practice.
