Reihe: Moral Development and Citizenship Education

Nordic Perspectives on Moral and Citizenship Education provides current knowledge on the research and practice of moral and citizenship education in Nordic countries including Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Teachers, parents, and policy makers need updated knowledge on the state of moral education and citizenship education in all these countries. The book guides into research-based thinking to understand how to make scientifically, morally, and pedagogically wise choices related to the education of students. Nordic countries share a common social and cultural history with the same values on human rights and principles of non-discrimination, social justice, respect for life, human dignity, and cultural diversity. In the chapters of this book this foundation is explored in more detail and similarities and differences between the Nordic countries become visible.
