초록

This study analyzed trends in early childhood global citizenship education using keyword network analysis, focusing on research that incorporates the six core themes proposed by APCEIU: global citizenship, human rights, peace, gender equality, cultural diversity, and sustainable development. The analysis identified "education for sustainable development (ESD)" as having the highest frequency and centrality. In terms of keyword frequency, "picture books" (41 occurrences) and "preservice teachers' perceptions" (36 occurrences) followed. Network centrality analysis further revealed that "education for sustainable development," "preservice teachers' perceptions," "teachers' perceptions," and "picture books" ranked consistently among the top five in all centrality measures. These results indicate the significance of ESD as a key value underpinning global citizenship education aimed at fostering future competencies as members of a global community. However, they also suggest the need to diversify teaching and learning approaches that have been heavily centered on picture books. The study contributes foundational data for reconstructing goals and content related to global citizenship education within the national curriculum, as well as for establishing theoretical and practical bases for education, teaching materials, and resources tailored to preservice and in-service early childhood teachers.
