บทคัดย่อ

This research aimed 1) to examine and compare the international context and Thai higher education (HE) in global citizenship competencies, global citizenship education (GCED), and global citizenship development projects, and 2) to propose pedagogical guidelines on global citizenship education in Thai tertiary education. After the documentary analysis and the in-depth interviews, this qualitative research relied on the IPOO model. Data were analyzed through content analysis.

The result showed: 1) the global citizenship competencies mainly lies on awareness of social inclusion, but with different viewpoints, the two contexts have their own approaches to run their global citizenship development projects and stimulate experiential learning and practices for the tertiary-level learners. Aiming at learning outcomes and guidelines, the four aspects (knowledge, skill, attitude and value) of global citizenship were focused in the international sphere while Thainess was added only in Thai higher education. Furthermore, the international and Thai Higher Education contexts mostly gear towards essential skills, awareness of civic duties, international understanding, and intercultural awareness as learning outcomes, and 2) Global citizenship education guidelines for Thai tertiary education that comes with four points including seven learning approaches and four aspects of learning outcomes and global citizenship competencies that could possibly be adapted from promoting GCED in Thai higher education.
