Integrative models of Education for Citizenship (Handbook) - 2nd edition

Abstract

Developing active citizenship is essential for achieving social participation under principles such as mutual respect and non-violence, in accordance with human rights. Our society needs to educate individuals with decision-making abilities and critical thinking skills to address current issues. This second edition of the manual complements the first with some modifications to the mathematics chapter and includes a new chapter on the role of Physical Education in integrated models. In this way, the manual offers readers a more global perspective on what integrated education models are, advocating for directing efforts towards a more inclusive education concept and bringing education professionals closer to the concept of active citizenship and its application in the classroom. The experience of the first edition has shown us that this manual represents a magnificent starting point for developing innovative education alternatives with nuances of the competencies that our current society strongly demands.
