Winner of the 2024 Moral Development and Education AERA SIG 67 Outstanding Book Award!
In Moral and Political Dimensions of Critical-Democratic Citizenship Education, Wiel Veugelers analyses theory, policy and practice of moral education and citizenship education in the past few decades. He shows that there are different orientations in national and global moral education and citizenship education. He criticises the strong orientation on the individual and on adaptation, and argues for more emphasises on social justice, equity and democracy.
This volume brings together articles Veugelers published in the past 25 years. Each article is introduced by a reflection on the reasons for the article, its responses, and lessons that are still relevant. The book ends with a large chapter that overviews central developments and presents a programme for future theory, research, policy and practice in moral education and citizenship education with a strong focus on democracy and empowerment: the moral should become more political and the political more moral.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Awarded the 2024 Moral Development and Education SIG 67 Outstanding Book Award
"In this unique volume, Wiel Veugelers provides a critical overview of research he has undertaken in the field of moral and citizenship education over the past twenty-five years. The watchword is 'critical'. Veugelers has not simply thrown together a set of previously published works. Rather, he applies a three-part critical lens to each entry, which can be summarized as follows: (1) why he composed the article in the first place, (2) how the article was received in the field, and (3) how the author feels about the article now, especially with respect to its contemporary relevance. This critical perspective helps bring alive the fourteen selected publications, which...nicely frames Veugelers' career research trajectory."
