“…Many teachers, in fact, avoid engaging students in discussion of controversial public issues precisely because they fear that these will inspire strong emotions, particularly feelings of nationalism or of inter-group prejudice -emotions which teachers usually are unprepared for and unwilling to address (Zembylas & Kambani, 2012). Deliberating social issues in schools, then, generally excludes emotion as an explicit and planned focus of attention (for exceptions, see Sheppard & Levy, 2019).…”

A central goal of civic and multicultural education is preparing young people to participate in deliberatively informed action on important social issues. In order to achieve this goal, educators need to cultivate young people's innate but partial 'sprouts' of benevolence, which are rooted in feelings of empathy and compassion. Without a sense of benevolence, students are unlikely to be motivated to deliberate and take action on the needs of others. Consequently, curriculum related to public issues should begin by engaging students with knowledge of other people's lives and concrete circumstances. By encountering rich and emotionally compelling accounts of the lives of others, students' sense of benevolence can be extended beyond the people and situations they know best. This forms the basis for subsequent curriculum encounters with differing perspectives and worldviews, as well as with structural causes of social issues and potential implications of civic action taken to address them.

Whereas some teachers chose topics they considered controversial in order to invite impassioned debate, others avoided topics they deemed too emotionally sensitive for their students in order to maintain what they believed to be a safe classroom space.…”

Heightened political polarization challenges civic educators seeking to prepare youth as citizens who can navigate affective boundaries. Current approaches to civic education do not yet account for the emotional basis of citizenship. This paper presents an argument for critical affective literacy in civic education classrooms. Drawing from concepts and theories in critical emotion studies, affective citizenship, and agonistic political theory, critical affective civic literacy challenges the rationalistic bent of civic education, and offers instructional strategies for educating the political emotions of students. The voices of late-arrival migrant youth enacting affective citizenship are featured in order to help illuminate the contributions of critical affective literacy to social studies research and practice.

The study aims to understand that the vocational teacher responds to the teaching needs of the literacy-oriented teaching of the 12-nation new curriculum. It is important of the impact of the new curriculum on teaching and the schools' literacy-oriented teaching contents. In order to achieve this goal, this study uses a number of case studies to understand the views of teachers and vocational education experts on the teaching and needs of the 12-nation new curriculum. The result of vocational teachers' literacy-oriented teaching need was "course conversion" (30%), "curriculum development and design" (24%), "Education practice" (16%), "Student assessment" (12%), "Parental communication" (10%) and "Professional leadership" (8%). In order to understand the practical difficulties that vocational teachers may face and the measures that can provide professional teaching, and propose in-service teachers' learning activities. It is important to effectively cultivate teachers' professional-oriented teaching professional ability.
