What is this?

Toolkit Rationale

This Critical Pedagogy and Global Citizenship & Development Education (GCDE) Toolkit is produced as part of the Praxis Project (PP) at University College Cork (UCC). The Praxis Project aims to promote ‘Global Citizenship and Development Education’ (GCDE) in pedagogy, research, and capacity building activities across University College Cork. It is housed at the School of Education, UCC and funded by Irish Aid. The objectives of PP with respect to higher education are to integrate GCDE into UCC pedagogy at all academic levels; to ensure that UCC staff and students can engage in sustained, sustainable action for social change relevant to GCDE; and to assist UCC staff build their GCDE capacity (Centre for Global Development Praxis UCC, n.d.).

To support these PP objectives, the Critical Pedagogy/GCDE Toolkit explores the connections between Critical Pedagogy and global citizenship education in higher education and how Critical Pedagogy (CP) offers an approach to educational practices ( teaching, research, policy) that supports the learning objectives and outcomes of Global Citizenship and Development Education education(GCDE) and the mission of the PP to provide quality Global Citizenship Development Education to UCC students, staff and local communities and to develop UCC as a centre of research excellence, knowledge exchange and publications in this field.

The aims of the Critical Pedagogy (CP) and Global Citizenship Development Education (GCDE) Toolkit are to:

  1. Explain what is meant by “Critical Pedagogy”.
  2. Explain how CP is one of the key theoretical approaches which underpins GCDE.
  3. Provide a set of guidelines for third level educators and researchers on how to bring a CP lens to their global justice work and academic discipline teaching and research.
  4. Provide case studies and examples for third level educators/researchers to illustrate the application of a CP/GCDE lens in higher education contexts.
