A Study to Examine Gender-Based Differences in Global Citizenship Awareness among Prospective Teachers

Abstract

    This study aims to determine the level of understanding that prospective teachers at public sector universities and colleges had regarding global citizenship education during their final semester. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. The study population included 2,004 prospective teachers from public universities and colleges in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. A sample of the study was based on 203 male and female prospective teachers. Using an adapted instrument based on global citizenship, rights, social justice, global links conflicts, and culture, researchers investigated global citizenship education on gender and age. Data were analyzed using, t-test, and mean with the help of SPSS. The results show that there was no significant difference in perspective teachers' awareness of global citizenship, rights, social justice global conflicts, links, and culture based on gender. Adding this topic to the curriculum could enhance their understanding and improve the quality of education.
