Abstract

This report presents the Phase II findings of a collaborative study by APCEIU and ACER which aims to expand efforts to monitor Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.7 by addressing critical evidence gaps regarding country participation and educational settings. Phase I of this study included three countries in the Asia-Pacific region (Australia, Philippines and South Korea) and targeted primary school settings. Phase I answered research questions about the enabling conditions that support effective global citizenship education (GCED); how these conditions can inform instrument development to measure system, school, and teacher readiness to implement GCED; and recommendations for Phase II. Phase II of this study includes an additional country context and consolidates the findings from Phase I through a three-step process 1) administer the pre-workshop questionnaire, 2) conduct a focus group workshop (FGW) in Lao PDR with research partners, and 3) validate the GCED Framework and monitoring tools including the Laos context. This research extends our understanding of GCED readiness across diverse contexts, contributing to SDG 4.7 monitoring.
