There has been an overhauling of teacher education programmes across the nation, in India, post National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education (NCFTE 2010). A special place has been given to the pedagogy of Environmental Studies in the twoyear B.Ed. programmes. Moreover, Environmental and Population Education has been introduced as optional course. Consciously, it has been kept in consideration in pedagogies of different school subjects: how issues related to environment could be imbibed with different streams of studies. As environment does not have political boundaries, thus, the issues which are local may not be considered in isolation. Hence, it is necessary to trace the education about environment in Indian scientific community and society which is traditional and has its own indigenous practices. It is required to address the global environmental concerns and how they are affecting the local community should be part of the curriculum in the backdrop of India towards sustainable development. (DIPF/Orig.) ; Im Kontext des National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education (NCTFE 2010) hat in Indien eine landesweite Reform der Studiengänge der Lehrerbildung stattgefunden. Ein besonderer Platz wurde der Pädagogik der Umweltstudien in den zweijährigen B.Ed.-Programmen eingeräumt. Zudem wurde Umwelt- und Bevölkerungsbildung als Wahlfachkurs eingeführt. Außerdem wird in der Pädagogik verschiedener Schulfächer berücksichtigt, wie eine Auseinandersetzung mit umweltbezogene Fragen in unterschiedlichen Studienströmen stattfinden kann. Da die Umwelt keine politischen Grenzen hat, können die Fragen, die lokal sind, nicht isoliert betrachtet werden. Daher ist es notwendig, die Bildung über die Umwelt in der indischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft in den Blick zu nehmen, die traditionell ist und ihre eigenen indigenen Praktiken hat. Es ist erforderlich, globale Umweltbelange anzusprechen, und wie sie die lokale Gemeinschaft beeinflussen, sollte Teil des Curriculums sein - vor dem Hintergrund Indiens auf dem Weg zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung.

Describes an innovative teacher education program at the University of California (UCLA) in which urban high school students of color actually trained pre-service teachers. The students took UCLA summer courses and participated inresearch projects in the sociology of education. Them, along with teacher education faculty, they helped to train pre-service teachers by giving guest lectures, presenting their research findings, and participating in critical dialogue. This reversal of the traditional teacher-student relationship proved away to develop pedagogy and curricula rooted in diversity and real-life issued of social justice as understood from the perspective of urban students of color.

The crisis of confidence in corporations has stimulated much debate among scholars and practitionersregarding leadership morality (Bartunek, 2002; Lefkowitz, Ilgen, Lee, Locke, Lowman & Schneider,2003). Similarly, leadership scholars have acknowledged that leadership ethics rests upon the moralcharacter of leaders and their choices of values (Bass & Steidlmeier, 1999). They argued that,compared to others, some leaders possess values and characteristics that make them more resilientto social pressures to engage in unethical behaviors (Bass & Steidlmeier, 1999; O'Connor, Mumford,Clifton, & Connelly, 1995)

This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Sport, Education and Society on 4th January 2016, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/13573322.2015.1127802. ; This study explores the role of school and university partnership teams in the professional development of physical education (PE) pre-service teachers (PSTs) during their one year Postgraduate Certificate in Education course in England. The paper focuses on the key influences and processes that impacted on PST subject knowledge development. An interpretive methodology informed by constructivist grounded theory [Charmaz, K. (2006). Constructing grounded theory: A practical guide through qualitative analysis. London: Sage.] was adopted. This research highlights that the process of knowledge development in physical education teacher education (PETE) is socially constructed and complex. Much of the PSTs' development was influenced by various communities of practice, particularly their school placements' PE departments, but also their university-based learning community. Of these, the legitimised practices within the PE departments were found to be especially important to PSTs' development. University-based learning was credited by PSTs with enhancing their holistic understanding of the learning process, developing those aspects of critical pedagogy that were under-developed in schools. This study identifies the capability of school/university partnerships to facilitate enhanced knowledge development in PETE. Taking into consideration the evolving nature of PETE within a political context that is progressively moving towards an entirely school-based model, an evidence-based debate over the manner and nature of the subject knowledge to be developed is needed.

Abstract: Considering the attention that global citizenship education has recently received, it is not much of a surprise that teacher education programs and courses around the world are including stated goals related to the preparation of teachers to educate their students for global and participatory citizenship. This is also the case of the Faculty of Education at the University of Cantabria (Spain). This study explores how a group of teacher educators from this university conceptualize citizenship education, if they include global perspectives in their notions, and how they educate for democracy in an increasingly globalized world. Although teacher education can contribute to challenge pre-service teachers' perceptions of the nation state as the only locus for democracy and citizenship, the inclusion of global perspectives done by these teacher educators has been very limited. Also, the participants that were more globally concerned were those who had a stronger sense of social justice.

Citizenship education has throughout history been used as a tool for articulating and embedding politically set visions of societies. As such, it has functioned as a response to contemporary political challenges and the changing societal landscape. Simultaneously, new forms of citizenship have emerged to equip students - and citizens - with new capacities and values. These citizenships include digital, global, and environmental citizenship, each figuring within education policy discourse to differing extents. The extensions continue to transfer 'citizenship' from its state-centric origins towards contemporary global governance structures and other points of reference. At the same time, these citizenships also create new demarcations and challenge the legal dimension of citizenship. This paper examines how these forms of citizenship are presented on a national and transnational scale. The curriculum and policy approaches of three European nations, three transnational organisations and one academic institution are analysed to assess how citizenship is recontextualized in the face of globalisation, climate change and digitalisation. When applied to the presentations of these citizenships in education, the traditional dimensions of citizenship reveal an emphasis on the values and duties of digital, global and climate citizens, with the onus placed on citizens' responsibility to others. Generally, the rights associated with these citizenships and, particularly who guarantees such rights, are less clear. By discussing these citizenships within contemporary contexts at multiple geographic levels, the paper provides concrete examples of the debates on and uses of the concept of citizenship and the roles of citizenship education. In so doing, we shed light on some of the more recent extensions of citizenship. ; peer-reviewed

This article sets out some of the key obstacles facing the successful implementation of education for democratic citizenship in England in the light of claims about its radical potential. It argues that citizenship is indeed not like other subjects because it has wider implications for the purposes of schooling and the way that schools and classrooms are organised. It discusses evidence of progress on the implementation of citizenship education and then considers a series of serious structural impediments to its radical potential that exist within the wider education system - teacher supply and the nature of teacher education; curricular issues including the national curriculum, teaching controversial issues and the role of Personal, Health and Social education; school councils and racism. It concludes by noting that a curriculum innovation such as citizenship needs considerable time to become embedded and develop in an education system but that possible political change poses a significant threat to its continued existence.
