摘要：Global citizenship is persistent in the realm of education in the US, as well
as in the 21st century, as global issues must be included within the requirements
of the dimensions of global citizenship in high school curriculum. This paper
describes the results from the Global Citizenship Survey to assess the extent
of American high school students’ perception of global citizenship. A total 110
students completed measures and 34 students answered open-ended questions
regarding global citizenship in spring 2017. The results of this study indicated the
importance of global citizenship to raise cultural awareness and a deeper sense
of cultural empathy, responsibilities of global issues, and imperatives to become
a global citizen for diverse societies. This study off ers the components of global
citizenship that must be included in the high school curriculum and identifi es the
need for teachers to cover global issues in the their classes that would encourage
and enable students to be open-minded and appreciative of each culture for
its diff erences in today’s globalized world. Additionally, because the world is
changing, schools should prepare students to think critically about global issues
using an inquiry-based curriculum.
