A comparative study of citizenship education and multicultural education in Japan and Australia

在这项研究中，作者考察了多元文化社会中公民教育和多元文化教育的现状，特别是澳大利亚和日本的维多利亚州。与澳大利亚其他州相比，维多利亚州实行了更有组织、更先进的公民身份和多元文化教育。维多利亚州政府采取了一项新的战略：全球和多元文化公民教育。它为将全球和多文化公民教育引入学校课程提供了多个视角。它的目标是培养具有高语言能力和跨文化素养的年轻澳大利亚人。在日本，我们有一些公民教育的做法。但没有人考虑到多元文化视角或跨文化素养。

In this study, the author examines the current status of citizenship education and multicultural education in a multicultural society, specifically focusing on the state of Victoria in Australia, and Japan. Victoria has practiced more organized and advanced citizenship and multicultural education, compared to other states in Australia. Victoria state government takes a new strategy ; education for global and multicultural citizenship. It provides multiple perspectives for introducing global and multicultural citizenship education to the school curriculum. And its aim is to educate young Australians with high language ability and cross-cultural literacy. In Japan, we have some practices of citizenship education. But no one takes account of multicultural perspective or cross-cultural literacy.
