Representations of global citizenship in a school environment.
Gibson, Shonda ; Reysen, Stephen
INTRODUCTION
As the world becomes more interconnected through increasing
globalization, academic organizations are challenged to produce
graduates who are prepared, in both practice and knowledge, to embrace
and embody global citizenship (Bourn & Shiel, 2009). However,
instructors are uncomfortable including topics such as global
citizenship in their courses and lack the knowledge and skills needed to
engender global citizen identity (Reimer & McLean, 2009). Given that
instructors have a profound influence on students' comprehension
and perception of information, as well as attitudes, behaviors, and
values (Newcomb, 1943), instructors' perception and framing of
concepts may unintentionally affect students' worldviews (Snider,
Reysen, & Katzarska-Miller, 2013).
Global citizenship is defined as awareness, caring, embracing
cultural diversity, promoting social justice and sustainability, and a
sense of responsibility to act (Reysen, Larey, & Katzarska-Miller,
2012). The authors showed that one's normative environment (valued
others prescribe the identity) and global awareness (knowledge of and
connection to the world) predict identification with global citizens
(i.e., felt connection to the social category), and global citizenship
identification, in turn, predicts endorsement of intergroup empathy
(concern for others outside one's ingroup), valuing diversity
(appreciation and interest in diverse cultures), social justice (belief
in human rights and equity), environmental sustainability (concern for
the natural environment), intergroup helping (desire to help others
outside one's ingroup), and responsibility to act (felt duty to act
for the betterment of the world). The researchers suggest that the
sociocultural settings in which individuals are embedded afford and
engender global citizen identity (for additional information concerning
antecedents and outcomes of global citizenship identification see
Plante, Roberts, Reysen, & Gerbasi, in press; Reysen &
Katzarska-Miller, 2012; Reysen, Katzarska-Miller, Gibson, & Hobson,
2013).
The concept of intentional worlds (Shweder, 1990) suggests that
individuals inhabit meaning-filled sociocultural settings constructed by
prior generations that influence, and are influenced by, individuals
embedded in those environments. Instructors, as well as students, live
and interact with everyday settings that may afford a global citizen
identity and contain cultural patterns supportive of the social
category. Instructors who are aware of global citizenship are likely to
endorse the identity and model global citizen values in the classroom
(Reimer & McLean, 2009). However, in what way instructors frame
global citizenship can influence students' attitudes. For example,
Snider and colleagues (2013) presented students with a description of
globalization as either negative (job market becoming more competitive)
or positive (job market becoming more culturally diverse).
Students exposed to the negatively framed message reported
significantly lower global citizenship identification and less
motivation to study in college than students presented with the
positively framed message. If instructors frame their presentation of
global citizenship positively, then students may view the instructor as
prescribing the identity (i.e., normative environment) resulting in
greater global citizenship identification and prosocial values and
behaviors. Thus, there exists a dialectical relationship between
instructors and students. Instructors live in a world that shapes their
values and they actively display certain behaviors and values in the
classroom that, in turn, influences students.
OVERVIEW OF PRESENT RESEARCH
The purposes of the present set of studies are to examine
instructors' awareness and attitudes toward global citizenship and
the influence of global citizen message frames on students'
identification and related values (e.g., social justice). In Study 1
instructors were asked to define and rate their attitude toward topics
related to global education (globalization, diversity, culture, global
citizen) and complete measures of antecedents, identification, and
outcomes of global citizenship. Based on prior research (Reimer &
McLean, 2009), we predict that instructors will report less knowledge
and desire to incorporate global citizenship (as compared to the other
topics) in the classroom. Consistent with the notion that individuals
must first be aware of the identity prior to experiencing a connection
with global citizens, the authors examine the outcome of awareness of
global citizenship on the global citizen measures. Utilizing the
definitions provided by instructors, in Study 2 we present different
framings of global citizenship to students to examine the effect on
Reysen and Katzarska-Miller's (2012) structural model of
antecedents and outcomes of global citizenship. Based on prior research
(Snider, et al. 2013), the authors of this study predict that a
positively (vs. negatively) framed message will lead to greater global
citizenship identification and academic motivation.
STUDY 1
The purposes of Study 1 are to examine college instructors'
attitudes toward global citizenship and related concepts, as well as the
relationship between awareness of the identity and global citizenship
identification.
METHODOLOGY
Participants and Procedure
Participants (N = 101, 55.4% women; [M.sub.age] = 51.12, SD =
10.69) included faculty at Texas A&M University-Commerce.
Participants had taught for an average of 16.25 years (SD = 10.98) in
areas of business (26.7%), education and human services (39.6%),
humanities and social sciences (21.8%), science and technology (8.9%),
and athletics (3%). The instructors defined and rated their attitudes
toward global education topics and completed measures of antecedents,
identification, and outcomes of global citizenship. All measures used a
7-point Likert-type response scale, from 1 = strongly disagree to 7 =
strongly agree.
Measures
Faculty were presented with four topics: globalization, diversity,
culture, global citizenship, and asked to define, describe how they
would present the topic in class, and rate their attitudes regarding
each topic. Five single-item measures assessed applicability of the
topic "The topic of insert topic is applicable to my teaching
area" (Applicable to Area), frequency the topic is currently
discussed in class "I often discuss topic in my courses"
(Often Discuss), perceived knowledge of the topic "I feel
knowledgeable presenting the topic of topic in my courses"
(Knowledgeable), motivation to include the topic in classes "I am
motivated to include more coverage of topic in my courses"
(Motivated to Include), and felt comfort in giving personal views
regarding the topic in class "I feel comfortable at TAMU-C giving
my personal views about topic in my courses" (Comfort Giving View).
Antecedents, identification, and outcomes of global citizenship were
assessed with twenty two (22) items adopted from prior research (Reysen
& Katzarska-Miller, 2012; Reysen et al., 2012), including normative
environment ([alpha] = .91, for a review of Cronbach's alpha as a
measure of scale reliability see DeVellis, 1991), global awareness
([alpha] = .82), global citizenship identification ([alpha] = .93),
intergroup empathy ([alpha] = .82), valuing diversity ([alpha] = .66),
social justice ([alpha] = .81), environmental sustainability ([alpha] =
.77), intergroup helping ([alpha] = .74), and responsibility to act
([alpha] = .68).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
To examine whether faculty held different attitudes toward the
topics, we conducted a series of repeated measures ANOVAs (a separate
ANOVA was conducted for each attitude), using a Sidak correction for
multiple comparisons (see Table 1 for means, standard deviations, and
mean differences). Similar to prior research (Reimer & McLean,
2009), instructors viewed global citizenship as unrelated to their
academic area, were unlikely to raise the topic of global citizenship in
class, felt unknowledgeable about the topic, lacked motivation to
include the topic, and felt more uncomfortable giving their personal
opinion about global citizenship than the other topics. This is
evidenced by the lower means for each attitude (e.g., Often Discuss) in
the global citizen column (vs. the other topic columns) as shown in
Table 1. In effect, compared to other global education topics,
instructors felt unknowledgeable and uncomfortable with global
citizenship. The definitions of global citizenship tended to center on a
greater awareness of the world (n = 58, 57.4%), although a small portion
wrote disparaging comments. Many instructors stated they did not know
the definition of global citizenship (n = 21, 20.8%) or simply did not
provide a response (n = 22, 21.8%).
To examine differences in global citizenship measures depending on
instructors' awareness of the identity (operationalized as whether
the instructors answered, did not answer, or stated that they did not
know the definition of global citizenship) the authors conducted a
MANOVA (using Tukey's correction for multiple comparisons) with
awareness of the identity as the independent variable (answered, no
answer, do not know) and antecedents, identification, and outcomes of
global citizenship as dependent variables, Wilks' A = .62, F(9, 90)
= 2.70, p < .001, [[eta].sub.p.sup.2] = .21. As shown in Table 2,
faculty who did not know the definition of global citizenship rated
their normative environment, global awareness, global citizenship
identification, valuing diversity, social justice, and felt
responsibility to act for the betterment of the world significantly
lower than faculty who provided a definition of global citizenship.
The results of Study 1 suggest that faculty lack the knowledge and
motivation to weave global citizenship into their class curriculum. A
sizable number of faculty members indicated that they were unaware of
global citizen identity. Compared to instructors who provided a
definition of global citizenship, unaware faculty perceived their
normative environment as unsupportive of the identity, felt less
knowledgeable and connected to the world (i.e., global awareness), and
were less identified with global citizens (see Table 2). Besides
omission of a definition, or explicit statement of lack of awareness,
instructors defined global citizenship in terms of being globally aware
or, in a small number of respondents, with disparaging comments. We
present these representations to students in Study 2.
STUDY 2
The purpose of Study 2 is to examine the effect of
instructors' presentations of global citizenship (based on
definitions provided in Study 1) on students' antecedents,
identification, and outcomes of global citizenship.
METHODOLOGY
Participants and Procedure
Participants (N = 413, 56.9% women; [M.sub.age] = 30.55, SD = 8.90)
included students from Texas A&M University-Commerce. Participants
were randomly assigned to read a lecture regarding global citizenship
framed in terms of awareness or disparaging comments, or a lecture
unrelated to global citizenship (control condition). Participants then
completed measures regarding positive and negative affect, antecedents,
identification, and outcomes of global citizenship, perceived formality
of the lecture, and demographic items. The measures used a 7-point
Likert-type response scale, from 1 = strongly disagree to 7 = strongly
agree.
Materials
Lectures-Based on instructors' definitions of global
citizenship (Study 1), the authors constructed three fictitious
lectures. The first lecture described global citizenship as becoming
globally aware (e.g., "Global Citizenship relates to the
individual's awareness of other cultures, countries, races,
traditions, and resources"). A second lecture described global
citizenship with a negative connotation (e.g., "This sounds like
politically correct jargon to me and more a religion than a
science"). A third lecture described how a thermometer works
(control condition).
Measures-Participants completed Watson, Clark, and Tellegen's
(1998) positive ([alpha] = .93) and negative ([alpha] = .90) affect
scales. Antecedents, identification, and outcomes of global citizenship
were assessed using the same measures as Study 1: normative environment
([alpha] = .94), global awareness ([alpha] = .83), global citizenship
identification ([alpha] = .95), intergroup empathy ([alpha] = .78),
valuing diversity ([alpha] = .84), social justice ([alpha] = .79),
environmental sustainability ([alpha] = .80), intergroup helping
([alpha] = .79), and responsibility to act ([alpha] = .82). Three items
"Right now, I feel motivated to work hard in college" were
adopted from Snider et al. (2013) and combined to assess students'
academic motivation ([alpha] = .79). One item "The professor's
lecture was formal" assessed the perception that the lecture was
formally presented.
RESULTS
To examine the effect of lecture frame on the assessed variables
(see rows in Table 3 for the dependent measures), the authors conducted
a MANOVA (using Tukey's correction for multiple comparisons) with
lecture (aware, control, disparaging comments) as the independent
variable and the assessed measures (e.g., global awareness, global
citizen identification) as dependent variables, Wilks' [LAMBDA] =
.77, f(13, 398) = 4.29,p < .001, [[eta].sub.p.sup.2] = .12. As shown
in Table 3, students exposed to the lecture describing global
citizenship in terms of awareness rated their degree of normative
environment, global awareness, global citizenship identification,
intergroup empathy, felt responsibility to act, academic motivation, and
positive affect significantly higher than participants exposed to the
lecture containing disparaging comments regarding global citizenship.
Although the participants in the awareness (vs. disparaging comments)
lecture condition showed significantly greater global citizenship
identification, the higher ratings may be due to participants'
emotional experience or the formality of the lecture.
To test whether emotional experience, formality of the lecture, and
antecedents to global citizenship mediate the relationship between the
lecture manipulation and global citizenship identification the authors
conducted a multiple mediator analysis using Preacher and Hayes'
(2008) SPSS macro (with bias-corrected bootstrapping, 5,000 iterations).
The lecture manipulation (-1 = disparaging comments, 0 = control, +1 =
awareness) was entered as the independent variable, antecedents of
global citizenship (normative environment, global awareness), affect
(positive, negative), and formality of the lecture as mediators, and
global citizenship identification as the dependent variable. The lecture
manipulation predicted global citizenship identification ([beta] = .18,
p < .001), normative environment ([beta] = .21, p < .001), global
awareness ([beta] = .12, p = .013), positive affect ([beta] = .19, p
< .001), and formality of the lecture ([beta] = .35, p < .001),
but did not significantly predict negative affect ([beta] = -.05, p =
.349). Normative environment ([beta] = .54, p < .001), global
awareness ([beta] = .37, p < .001), and negative affect ([beta] =
.06, p = .020) predicted identification with global citizens, while
positive affect ([beta] = .02, p = .486) and formality of the lecture
([beta] = .01, p = .748) did not. The mediators significantly reduced
the relationship between manipulation of lecture frame and global
citizenship identification ([beta] = .02, p = .571).
The total effect of the mediators showed a full mediation of the
relationship between manipulation and global citizenship identification
as indicated by the absence of zero between the 95% confidence interval
at the p < .05 (two tailed) level (CI = .154 to .483). Normative
environment (CI = .114 to .331) and global awareness (CI = .020 to .171)
were significant mediators of the relationship between the manipulation
and global citizenship identification, while positive (CI = -.015 to
.036) and negative (CI = -.027 to .005) affect and formality of the
lecture (CI = -.036 to .052) were not. Because participants'
emotional reaction to the manipulation and the perceived formality of
the lecture did not mediate the relationship between the manipulation
and global citizenship identification, we next tested the influence of
the manipulation on Reysen and Katzarska-Miller's (2012) structural
model of antecedents and outcomes of global citizenship identification
(omitting affect and formality of the lecture).
To test the influence of the lecture manipulation on antecedents,
identification, and outcomes of global citizenship, a structural
equation model was conducted using Amos 19 bias-corrected bootstrapping,
5,000 iterations, 95% confidence intervals. Due to the related nature of
the prosocial values to one another and the antecedents to one another,
the disturbance terms for these sets of variables were allowed to
covary. Identical to Reysen and Katzarska-Miller (2012), the error terms
for two global awareness items were allowed to covary (for more
information regarding structural equation models see Kline, 2005). Items
loaded well on each of the factors, including normative environment
([beta] = .82 to .92), global awareness ([beta] = .56 to .92), global
citizenship identification ([beta] = .95, .95), intergroup empathy
([beta] = .74, .87), valuing diversity ([beta] = .85, .86), social
justice ([beta] = .79, .84), environmental sustainability ([beta] = .75,
.89), intergroup helping ([beta] = .77, .86), and responsibility to act
([beta] = .83, .84). The predicted model adequately fit the data, [chi
square] (204) = 733.61, p < .001; RMSEA = .079, CI{.073; .086}, NFI =
.904, CFI = .929.
As shown in Figure 1, the lecture manipulation predicted normative
environment ([beta] = .21, p < .001, CI = .121 to .304), but not
global awareness ([beta] = .10, p = .052, CI = -.001 to .198). Normative
environment ([beta] = .62,p < .001, CI = .508 to .719) and global
awareness ([beta] = .34, p = .001, CI = .216 to .447) predicted global
citizenship identification. Global citizenship identification predicted
intergroup empathy ([beta] = .75, p < .001, CI = .675 to .819),
valuing diversity ([beta] = .69, p < .001, CI = .606 to .765), social
justice ([beta] = .53, p = .001, CI = .444 to .633), environmental
sustainability ([beta] = .50, p < .001, CI = .401 to .592),
intergroup helping ([beta] = .42, p = .001, CI = .323 to .521), and felt
responsibility to act ([beta] = .72, p < .001, CI = .635 to .782).
The indirect effect of the lecture manipulation was reliably
carried by normative environment and global awareness on
participants' identification with global citizens as appears in
Table 4. The lecture manipulation also significantly predicted prosocial
values through normative environment, global awareness, and global
citizenship identification. The influence of normative environment and
global awareness on prosocial values was reliably carried by global
citizenship identification (see Table 4 for standardized betas of
indirect effects and 95% bias-corrected confidence intervals; all
indirect effects were significant at p < .002 two-tailed).
The results of Study 2 show that how instructors frame the
presentation of global citizenship effects students' degree of
global citizenship identification and academic motivation. A mediation
analysis showed that the observed difference in identification was not
due to students' emotional experience or their perceived formality
of the different lectures. Rather, students exposed to the awareness
(vs. disparaging comments) framing felt that valued others prescribed
the global citizen identity, which led to greater identification, which
then led to greater endorsement of prosocial values.
DISCUSSION
The purposes of the present set of studies were to examine
instructors' awareness and attitudes toward global citizenship and
the influence of global citizen message framing on students'
identification and related values. Instructors indicated less knowledge
and motivation to include global citizenship in their classes compared
to other concepts. Furthermore, instructors who were unaware (vs. aware)
of the definition of global citizenship expressed less connection with
the social category (Study 1). Based on the definitions provided by
instructors, students exposed to a description of global citizenship as
being globally aware (vs. disparaging comments) perceived their
normative environment as prescribing the identity, identified more
strongly with global citizens, and subsequently endorsed prosocial
values and behaviors (Study 2). Together, the results highlight the
influence of instructors to engender students' global citizenship
identification.
Educational institutions are increasingly called upon to produce
graduates who embody and embrace global citizenship (Bourn & Shiel,
2009), yet instructors feel inexperienced and unable to incorporate the
concept into their curriculum (Reimer & McLean, 2009). The results
of Study 1 indeed show that faculty feel that global citizenship is
unrelated to their discipline, lack knowledge and the motivation to
incorporate, and feel uncomfortable discussing the topic in class
compared to other topics globalization, diversity, culture. Examination
of the definitions provided by faculty suggest that instructors who are
unaware of global citizenship (indicated by an explicit statement that
they do not know the definition of global citizenship) do not perceive
valued others as prescribing the identity normative environment or feel
knowledgeable and connected to others in the world global awareness
compared to faculty who provided a definition. This finding suggests
that these instructors engage in everyday environments that lack
cultural patterns related to global citizenship. We suggested, and
found, that lack of awareness of global citizen identity (vs. faculty
who provided a definition) is related to less identification with global
citizens. Because faculty can influence students' attitudes,
values, and behaviors (Newcomb, 1943), we presented students with
lectures compiled from instructors' definitions of global
citizenship.
Following an intentional worlds (Shweder, 1990) perspective of the
dialectical relationship between students and instructors, we predicted
that instructors' framing of global citizenship would impact
students' identification with global citizens. In Study 2, students
presented with a lecture describing global citizenship as being globally
aware (vs. disparaging connotation) viewed others in their normative
environment as prescribing the identity and identified more strongly
with global citizens. The structural equation model showed that framing
the lecture in terms of being globally aware predicted higher ratings of
one's normative environment which led to greater global citizenship
identification which led to greater endorsement of prosocial values.
This result supports the notion that faculty are valued individuals
within students' normative environment.
Furthermore, the result suggests that instructors can display or
model global citizen values, and have a positive impact on
students' values and endorsed behaviors. Supporting prior research
(Snider et al., 2013), positive (vs. disparaging) framing resulted in
greater academic motivation. Exposure to the lecture of global
citizenship as being globally aware resulted in students feeling more
motivated to work hard and study in college. Additionally, the results
of Study 2 support Reysen and Katzarska-Miller's (2012) model of
antecedents and outcomes of global citizenship. Normative environment
and global awareness (antecedents) predicted global citizenship
identification, and identification predicted endorsement of intergroup
empathy, valuing diversity, social justice, environmental
sustainability, intergroup helping, and responsibility to act for the
betterment of the world (outcomes).
Although the present studies highlight the variability of
instructors' attitudes toward global citizenship and subsequent
effects on students, there are limitations that should be considered
when interpreting the results. First, the present studies were conducted
at one university. The results may differ in other cultural settings or
with different participant populations (e.g., older adults). Second, we
relied on vignettes to manipulate lecture framing in Study 2. Students
may react to actual lectures differently, especially if the content is
infused with curriculum over the course of a semester. Future research
would benefit from examination of message framing in real life
situations and chronic exposure to global citizen related content.
Third, although the present results replicate prior research (Plante et
al., in press; Reysen et al., 2012; Reysen & Katzarska-Miller, 2012;
Reysen et al., 2013) examining the structural model of antecedents and
outcomes of global citizenship identification, unmeasured variables may
exist that are not currently included in the structural model.
The increasing global environment significantly impacts everyday
activities, including the functions of organizations, businesses,
groups, and individuals. Education is no exception to the influences of
globalization, as shown in the agendas of top business, government, and
civil society agendas. Globalization is consistently cited as a crucial
issue in preparing individuals to function in an increasingly
interconnected world. The continual changes, issues, challenges, and
opportunities brought about by globalization have spurred and challenged
higher education to create and continually develop a global orientation
in both pedagogy and curriculum. The results of the present studies
suggest that instructors would benefit from additional training to aid
in infusing curriculum with global citizen related concepts. As shown in
the present research, instructors serve as influential agents who can
model global citizen values and impact students' perception of
their normative environment. Engendering global citizenship identity
leads students to endorse prosocial values (e.g., valuing diversity) and
behaviors (e.g., environmental sustainability) and may aid in preparing
students to function in the interconnected world.
