Citizenship Education as a Cross-Disciplinary Task: Gnoseological Foundations
摘要
In this Chapter, we address the reasons why not only all school subjects but indeed all “educational” efforts contribute, in fact, to citizenship education. This Chapter delves deeper into the ontological definition we propose for human beings’ civic condition and draws from it specific epistemological consequences that we illustrate against, or in relation to, six other main subject domains in the school curriculum: languages; arts and literature; history; geography and mathematics; physical activity; science and technologies. This way, we lay the basis for a much more consistent approach to the enhancement of citizenship education in teacher training programmes and in classroom didactics of all specialised subjects.
