Exploring Secondary Vocational Students’ Digital Citizenship from the Perspective of Their Social Media Competence

Improving the digital citizenship of secondary vocational students is critical for cultivating vocational talents in education. It is an inevitable requirement for modernizing vocational education. Focusing on social media competence, this study explores possible ways to improve the digital citizenship of secondary vocational students. A total of 469 secondary vocational students in Wuhan city, Hubei province, were investigated using questionnaires. The data analysis shows that the four dimensions of social media competence (technical use, content interpretation, content generation, and anticipatory reflection) significantly predict digital citizenship. On this basis, we propose four paths for improving the digital citizenship of secondary vocational students: creating a suitable environment for secondary vocational students to apply their skills in information technology; enhancing the ability of secondary vocational students to discriminate about information on the Internet; improving students’ interpersonal communication ability when dealing with technical support; building an early warning system for secondary vocational students’ behavioral perception.

Formation of Civic Qualities of Modern Students Through Project-Educational Intensive

This article discusses the experience of forming the civic qualities of today’s youth. Citizenship and socially significant qualities have become more relevant than ever before in the light of recent political events. In the article, the author relies on the works of both the classics of Soviet and Russian Pedagogy, as well as the latest works of scientific teachers devoted to the problem of socially significant civic qualities of young people. Various positions are considered in relation to the category of citizenship, the relationship between the terms citizenship and patriotism is determined. The definition of the category “citizenship” and the essential content of this category are given. Civic qualities, in our opinion, characterize the ability of an individual to actively manifest their civic position through socially significant, practice-oriented activities. The experience of conducting an acceleration program for the development of socially oriented student initiatives is analyzed. Within the framework of project-educational intensives, a full cycle of search, selection, evaluation, examination, support and monitoring of projects takes place. The influence of participation in the acceleration program, development of project ideas, discussion and presentation of projects, as well as the implementation of projects on the degree and level of civic consciousness of student youth is studied using the example of an experimental group of students who participated in the accelerator of student projects. The structure of the acceleration program is considered, the stages of implementation are determined, and examples of specific student projects are given. The practice of holding events aimed at the formation of civic qualities of student youth is generalized. The results of the survey materials of the control and experimental groups are presented and analyzed. The recommendations are given for the further systematic implementation of project-educational intensives, acceleration programs aimed at the development and implementation of student projects and the development of student citizenship.

Does university participation facilitate young people’s citizenship behaviour in the UK?

ABSTRACT Universities can be understood as a key site for the transmission of democratic values by helping young people participate directly in democratic activities and education. Thus, it is important to understand whether and how citizenship learning takes place at universities in the UK. This article uses citizenship in transition (CiT) data to examine the possible ways in which university experiences influence student citizenship from a constructivist learning perspective. Based on Habermas’ theories of communicative action and communities of practice, the article proposes that the experience of participating in activities and organisations and the self-identity that is gained by reaching understanding, coordinating interaction, and effecting socialisation at universities are able to promote citizenship learning in the UK. Building on a quantitative analysis, this article shows that students’ sense of belonging to their universities and their participation in organisations generally lead to more civic behaviour in the future.

The Development of a STEAM Program about Global Energy with a Focus on Democratic Citizenship

Abstract This study explored democratic citizenship (DC) for students by developing a DC framework (DCF) with eight components. We employed the DCF to examine what and how much DC was included in Korean science textbooks and lab books focused on the topic of energy for Grades K–12. We found different DC components were included at different grade levels and some components were not present at all. To help address the uneven distribution of these components, we developed four DC inclusive science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) books related to the topic of energy. These books were designed with the DCF to foster rich DC learning experiences in school science. We engaged 13 teachers as consultants in a validation process when developing the DC inclusive STEAM books. This study describes the development and implementation of the DCF for preparing supplemental science curriculum materials that can improve students’ appreciation for DC.

Maximizing Student Citizenship Education

Increasingly, global statistics have pointed out that young citizens are disengaged from democratic participation. This has captured public attention and led some countries to start creating educational policies as an attempt to implement educational citizenship programs to prepare young citizens to be active participants in a democratic society. Nevertheless, little is known regardless of the impact of those programs on democratic countries like Ecuador and the role of active citizenship at the educational level. It has led Ecuadorian younger population to avoid engaging in active social and political participation. Therefore, some national policies, international reports, specific topics related to citizenship education, and classroom practices will be analyzed in this literature review. The main goal is to invite not only policymakers but also teachers to increase their awareness about citizenship aspects so that they can truly invite students to maximize student citizenship education and active participation.

Civic education in VET: concepts for a professional language in VET teaching and VET teacher education

ABSTRACT This paper discusses how Bernsteinian concepts (‘pedagogic rights’, ‘discursive gaps’ and ‘pedagogic code’) from the field of sociology of education can be used as didactic tools to illuminate how different ways of organising teaching in VET has implications for citizenship preparation. The paper is based on results from a five-year research project investigating the extent and nature of learning processes that can be characterised as civic education in Swedish VET. Results from the project show how VET often contributes to social reproduction through provision of class-, gender-, and ethnicity-based access to knowledge with different powers to students. However, we also identified many variations in the VET-contexts studied. In the paper at hand, examples of when and how students got access to different types of knowledge through different ways of organising teaching, and how different ways of teaching prevented or promoted different types of questions with implications for the kind of citizenship preparation the students were offered, is discussed. Our hope is that these discussions contribute to a conversation on how to make a language accessible to VET-teachers that is helpful to problematise and plan their teaching to offer greater access to an active citizenship for students in vocational programmes.

Can a textbook bring up a patriot? (Reflections on the upbringing potential of a Russian language textbook)

The paper considers the upbringing potential of a Russian language textbook, namely the formation of the qualities of citizenship and patriotism in school students. The relevance of the study is determined by the necessity to overcome the spiritual crisis in society as well as by the return of upbringing to school and the implementation of the new «Tentative Program of Upbringing» and the third generation FSES. In accordance with the two documents, upbringing becomes an obligatory part of the teaching process. The paper aims to examine those textbooks on the Russian language that are included in the federal list. This analysis evaluates the potential of such textbooks for patriotic education. The employed methods include theoretical analysis of research literature, analysis of normative documents, and content analysis of five textbooks for fifth-form school students. The presence and absence of materials promoting patriotic education in the textbooks was chosen as criteria for analysis. The materials in question include 1) information about Russian as an official language; 2) statements about the Russian language; 3) representation of Russian symbols; 4) language units comprising the nominative field of the concept «motherland»; 5) exercises revealing the multifaceted image of Russia. The study has identified specific gaps in the content of the textbooks, especially with respect to criteria three and four. The data presented in the paper can serve as a basis for updating textbooks as well as for the work of those teachers who focus on promoting the values associated with patriotism among their students.

Voluntary Contributions to Society: The Impact of School Systems

The question of how much religious schools contribute to the preparation of their students for citizenship has long been debated and empirical evidence has been mixed. A national Australian survey, Contributing to Australian Society, conducted in 2016 by the Christian Research Association, provided the opportunity for a quantitative study comparing the graduates of government, Catholic, independent high-fee, and low fee Christian school systems in their patterns of informal and formal adult volunteering as expressions of active citizenship. The survey found that the graduates of non-government secondary schools displayed higher rates of both formal and informal volunteering. However, stronger factors in graduate volunteering were parental volunteering and volunteering at school or in religious organizations.

The Auto-ethnographic Inquiry of a Female Chinese Graduate Student in Canada: Challenging, Accepting, and Transforming

China remains the top country of citizenship for international students and female students (married and single) comprise part of Chinese international students. However, female international students as a marginalized group face multiple challenges and parental, marital, personal, and cross-cultural situational barriers. Relying on an auto-ethnographic inquiry, this study digs into my experiences and stories as a Chinese female graduate student in Canada to examine and connect with the academic climate and broader communities. Specifically, the gender-based, culture-based, and race-based challenges that I faced during my studies at a Canadian university including my coping strategies are explored. The constructivist paradigm as a theoretical framework is used to delve into my perceptions and understanding of my lived experiences. Data was collected from my journals, memories, and emails written during my study in Canada. Based on my experience, this study unveils motivation, knowledge, and organizational gaps faced by the female group because of gender inequality, and cross-cultural and cross-racial differences.
