The global society is a relatively new phenomenon in human history. It has been taking shape since Columbus first sailed to the New World, and now has evolved into a global society of five billion-plus people. Different cultures have been in contact with each other throughout history, but the past 500 years have intensified these encounters so that they have formed a political, economic, social, historical, cultural, and environmental web characterized by constant change, complexity, and connectedness, and much contradiction.

This paper shares research conducted on undergraduate students that was used in developing a theory for an internationalized curriculum. The data base consists of students' images of the world that were obtained through a projective method that generated narratives about photographs of different people in the world. Analysis of the narratives revealed that students were interested in moral and ethical issues and were ethnocentric, even though they were schooled in an internationalized curriculum. The paper advances the thesis that in order to internationalize the curriculum, planners must move from a discipline-centered, Amerocentric design to a learner-centered, hermeneutic design that advances a global perspective.

This paper will describe the JA Project in terms of my objectives for pre-service teacher preparation and the administrative process used to plan and implement the program. It will also demonstrate how this outreach project created an environment that established a working relationship between the schools and the university so that the School of Education could become more responsive to practicing teachers.

Dr. Bonfiglio conducted this study to learn about undergraduate students' images of the world in order to inform an internationalized transformative curriculum that could help students manage in a global society that is contradictory, complex, constantly changing, and interconnected. The methods were qualitative and designed to create a data base on students' images of the world.

This article presents students' responses to a pre-planned economics education program that was incorporated into an elementary social studies methods course as a short field experience. The author critiques the program in light of the research done on teacher induction and the teacher educator role. The conclusion is that pre-service teachers' exposure to unfamiliar subject matter, student-centered learning, and immersion into teaching a whole classroom of children provide valuable experience in expanding their impressions of social studies and the teaching and learning process. However, continuous feedback from the teacher educator can help them develop the necessary habits of mind to be reflective practitioners of their craft.

In this period of economic, social, and political transition, debate over multicultural education in schools has created an unrest that is sometimes disturbing and often confusing. I contend, however, that this turmoil provides social studies teachers with an opportunity to promote citizenship.
