Learning and teaching in citizenship education

In this seminar I discuss recent trends in the teaching and learning of citizenship education. I suggest that there are challenges for teachers in identifying what sort of activities can be developed in the context of politicians’ changing priorities. I use a variety of illustrations of what may be done within and beyond classrooms (e.g., the use of textbooks; teaching citizenship through a range of school subjects; teaching about voting; learning about the law and justice system; learning through community involvement).
