Local and Global Identities in Different Educational Contexts

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Internationalization and Global Citizenship

Abstract

The broad and abundant discourse on globalization of education that has become inevitable in recent decades (Stromquist & Monkman, 2014) has revealed that the notion of citizenship, as depicted within classrooms worldwide, has recently shifted from a focus on construction of unitary national identity to presentation (at least in theory) of cosmopolitan ideas, including protection of universal human rights and the rights of marginalized groups such as religious and ethnic minorities and women (Bromley, 2009). One of the declared goals of internationalization in education is development on a personal level of certain competencies, perceptions and skills that will facilitate survival and success in our global and dynamic world (Yemini, 2016).

Parts of this chapter were published in: Goren H. & Yemini, M. (2016). Global Citizenship Education in context: Teacher perceptions at an international school and a local Israeli school Compare (Ahead of print) and in Yemini, M. & Furstenberg, S. (2016). Students’ local and global identities in different educational contexts: Perceptions of global citizenship at a local and an international school in Israel (Submitted).
