“…Students in classes whose syllabi contained more global words (e.g., justice, cultural, environment) gained greater global awareness across the semester, which in turn predicted higher GCI, and led indirectly in model tests to higher scores on all six prosocial values. Blake, Pierce, Gibson, Reysen, and Katzarska‐Miller () replicated this effect using student ratings of the extent that the class covered global topics rather than the number of global terms in the syllabi.…”

“…Beyond the media, more proximate normative influences have been found to affect GCI and its related prosocial values, including the perception that one’s university encourages global citizenship identification (Blake et al, ), exposure to a professor who favorably (vs. negatively) discusses GHIC (Gibson & Reysen, ), and perceiving that other fans of a fan interest group value it (Plante, Roberts, Reysen, & Gerbasi, ). In short, the extent that one’s institutions, authority figures (e.g., professors), and others with similar interests in one’s normative environment value GHIC predicts one seeing oneself as a global citizen.…”

We review psychological research on global human identification and citizenship, Thomas Paine's belief that "The world is my country, and all mankind are my brethren." In turn, we review the theoretical foundations that guided our work, research with measures that preceded our own, and our own work with our correlated scales. We review its foundations, its effects upon attitudes and behaviors, and how it might be enlarged. Global human identification and citizenship is related negatively to ethnocentrism, authoritarianism, the social dominance orientation, and self-centeredness, but positively to dispositional empathy, openness to experience, and the values of universalism, care, and justice. It is expressed in attitudes and behaviors that support human rights and work to reduce global suffering and inequalities. It is associated with greater global knowledge and with efforts to acquire that knowledge. Childrearing that emphasizes cross-cultural exposure and awareness of others' suffering may promote global human identification and citizenship, as does education that encourages global mindedness. Environments that support global human identification also induce it, as does envisioning it as a moral ideal.

“…В работах исследователей (M.E. Blake [3], L. Hutchinson [7]) подчеркива-ется, что ключевым моментом выступает содействие формированию у личности иностранного студента понимания основных особенностей иноязычных культур -культуры страны изучаемого языка и культуры образовательной среды, в которой оказался иностранный студент. В рамках нашей исследовательской работы важным ориентиром становится сохранение сознательного отношения к специфике и уникальному колориту родной культуры иностранных студентов.…”

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in terms of the development of academic mobility processes, it is necessary to develop linguo-cultural content that reflects the need-motivational sphere of foreign students, as well as the implementation of the developed content, taking into account the multiculturalism of Russian universities. Besides, it is recognized that in the multicultural university environment, a foreign language culture for a foreign student acts in two ways: as a culture of the target language country, on the one hand, and as a culture of the educational environment of a Russian university, on the other hand. The empirical part of the study was carried out on a sample of 42 foreign students from Russian universities. Students were interviewed through a questionnaire to identify as follows: the attitude of foreign students towards the discovery of Russian culture and learning the Russian language; difficulties in learning the Russian language; their awareness of the qualities that characterize personal effectiveness of language training. It was revealed that foreign students recognized the wealth and beauty (42.9%), the uniqueness of the Russian language and culture (38.1%), the importance of the Russian language as a means of intercultural communication (23.8%). The absolute majority (95.2%) of foreign students experience difficulties in mastering the grammatical structure of the Russian language. As for personal qualities, the students revealed those that are interconnected with the features of national identity and allow foreign students to adapt to the Russian educational environment and reality. Based on the data obtained, it was concluded that the complexity of educational activities served as a guideline in the teacher’s actions in solving problems of mastering a foreign language and culture by foreign students, preserving the national identity of an individual, and training his/her for intercultural communication in a multicultural world space.

“…Blake (2015), examined the perceptions of undergraduate students and tested the model of antecedents and outcomes of global citizenship identification (cited in Blake, 2015), where the term “antecedents” relates to one’s normative environment and to an individual’s global awareness. These qualities contribute to global citizenship identity, which according to the model, predict “prosocial outcomes such as intergroup empathy, valuing diversity, social justice, felt responsibility to act for betterment of the world and intergroup helping” (Blake et al, 2015, p. 98).…”

Student attainment of capabilities associated with global citizenship remains a priority for higher education institutions. We report on a scoping review of empirical studies to explore how global citizenship is understood and enacted in higher education. The 29 included studies span the arts, psychology and social sciences, professional degrees, purpose-designed global citizenship courses, and community development, service, and educational travel programs. Notwithstanding considerable diversity in study aims, methodology, and how global citizenship was described, we were able to discern an overarching framework to describe the theoretical contributions to global citizenship education. Our findings contribute to building conceptual clarity both for educators charged with developing curricula and for higher education researchers seeking to explore and evaluate the outcomes of global citizenship education.
