Abstract

Giannis S. Efthymiou of the University of Cumbria reviews the book 'Research on teaching global issues: pedagogy for global citizenship education' (John P. Meyers, Charlotte, NC, Information Age Publishing, 2020).

John P. Meyers’ 2020 book Research on Teaching Global Issues: Pedagogy for global citizenship education, adhering to its title, presents and discusses some of the contemporary debates in the field of global citizenship education (GCE) within the teaching agenda. In the last years, and especially after the United Nations agenda for Sustainable Development Goals, notably Goal 4.7, the profile of GCE has gained greater attention in education; educational practitioners increasingly seek ways of incorporating global education as part of their teaching and learning practice. However, as pointed out by the contributing authors in this edition, including Meyers himself, although the field of GCE is relevant in contemporary education and the role of teachers is crucial to incorporating it and to facilitating its implementation, there has been a lack of academic work and research evidence focusing on and presenting aspects of GCE within the teaching agenda.
