GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

In spite of the wide acceptance of the idea of global citizenship, there is neither agreement about what it really means nor is there consensus on how to measure it. According to Bryant (2006), global citizenship calls for participatory action in alleviating local and global inequality and the capacity to affect the well-being of individuals and the long-term sustainability of the planet. Andrzejewski and Alessio (1999) define global citizenship as knowledge and skills for social and environmental justice. Dobson (2003) offers a view of global citizenship in which issues of justice, the environment, and civic obligations are key determinants. Key references on global citizenship include:

ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT

It is beyond the scope of this study to measure discipline-specific learning. Academic development is understood as a multi-dimensional construct that entails two interrelated, but not necessarily interchangeable constructs: academic self-concept and academic self-efficacy.
