*Special Issue on “Skills, Values, and Beliefs for Today’s Democratic
Citizenship” –*

*May 2010*

*
*

*A vital aspect of democracy is the ability of individual citizens to engage
in knowledge creation*

*and evaluation in a critical manner. In today’s information‐ and
controversy‐rich society developing*

*one’s own beliefs and values, evaluating a constantly growing body of new
knowledge, and having an*

*understanding of current politics is becoming an increasingly complex and
demanding challenge. In this*

*context, education for citizenship is an important undertaking to provide
individuals with skills, values,*

*knowledge, and beliefs needed to successfully participate in democratic
processes and to foster a*

*culture of active civic engagement.*

*
*

*Under this conceptual umbrella, this special issue of In Factis Pax will
bring together empirical*

*and conceptual articles that focus on questions related to democracy and
education, such as: What is*

*the nature of the skills, values, and beliefs necessary for democratic
participation, and in what situations*

*do they occur and matter? What role does (citizenship) education play in
addressing such skills, values,*

*knowledge, and beliefs? What pedagogical methods best develop these
democratic capacities? Do*

*current educational frameworks account for the demands of today’s
democratic citizenship?*

*Submissions that are consistent with the theme of the issue are encouraged.
*

*
*

*Both empirical and theoretical articles are welcome. Each contribution
should include a*

*discussion of educational implications. The submissions from a broad array
of disciplines are*

*encouraged.*

Foundations and Leadership,*

*The University of Toledo.*

The Ninth International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS 2010)

“Learning in the Disciplines”

hosted by the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Learning Sciences Research
Institute

Conference Location:  *Palmer House Hilton Hotel*, Chicago, IL

June 29 - July 2, 2010

** CONFERENCE THEME **
———————-

The ICLS 2010 conference theme, “Learning in the Disciplines,” invites you
to explore the ways disciplinary perspectives can inform the study of
learning in educational settings, workplaces, and other contexts. This
conference will bring together scholars from a range of disciplines with
researchers in the sciences of learning, instruction, and design. These
diverse perspectives will be brought together to address questions of how we
can better understand and improve learning.

This conference theme highlights central Learning Sciences questions such
as:

·      How can disciplinary practices and understandings inform Learning
Sciences research, theory, and design?

·      How do learning processes vary across disciplines?  What, if
anything, is constant?

·      How are disciplinary practices and knowledge represented in
educational settings, designs, and practices? How might they be
reconsidered?

·      How can collaborative research and comparative perspectives
contribute to Learning Sciences research and practice?

Themes highlighted in special panel sessions include:

·      Identity as a lens on learning within and across the disciplines

·      Representational practices and modeling in the disciplines

·      Designs for disciplinary learning

Submissions are encouraged that speak to these and other themes associated
with the Learning Sciences, and the interdisciplinary study of learning.
