Abstract: | In this study it is investigated whether, to what extent, and how the education policy documents
of Portugal and Spain aimed at the first years of schooling are responding to international calls to
educate critical and responsible citizens. To do this, a qualitative methodology was adopted in the
analysis of the documents that regulate the six to ten years old curricula in both countries. Data
was analysed using content analysis, with categories deriving from the UNESCO (2015) framework
on global citizenship education (GCE) dimensions and key learner attributes. Results suggest that
the curricula for the first years of schooling of both countries are compatible with the principles of
GCE. Yet, strong additional efforts are required for a successful implementation of this educational
perspective in the long run. En este estudio se investiga si, en qué medida y cómo los documentos de política educativa de Portugal y España dirigidos a los primeros años de escolaridad responden a los llamamientos internacionales para formar a ciudadanos críticos y responsables. Para ello, se adoptó una metodología cualitativa en el análisis de documentos con los que se regulan los currículos de seis a diez años en ambos países. Los datos se analizaron mediante análisis de contenido, con categorías derivadas del marco de la Unesco (2015) sobre las dimensiones de la educación para ciudadanía global y los atributos clave del alumno. Los resultados sugieren que los planes de estudio de los primeros años de escolaridad de ambos países se muestran compatibles con los principios de la educación para la ciudadanía global. Sin embargo, se precisan grandes esfuerzos adicionales para una implementación exitosa de esta perspectiva educativa a largo plazo. |
