PhD topic: The concept of citizenship and citizenship education in England and Japan: How teachers characterize good citizenship and education for citizenship.

My research addresses the three research questions: 1) How do teachers in England and Japan characterize citizenship? 2) -a) How do teachers in England and Japan characterize citizenship education and -b) what are their pedagogical approaches? 3) How do they relate their professional and individual experience to the development of their views on citizenship and citizenship education? These questions are explored through qualitative research method. Semi-structured interviews with English and Japanese citizenship teachers have been carried out since August 2020. This study could further the understanding of citizenship in non-Western context by comparing English and Japanese teachers’ views on citizenship and citizenship education.
