THE MODERN PRACTICES OF CCE: MODELS OF NATION STATES AND THEIR DIFFERENCES ON GOOD CITIZENS

There is abundant literature in theoretical research on civic education relating to identity. The categories of theories about the individual identity of the elites cover the groups of the training of civic qualifications, cultivation of civic rights(duties), and the development of psychological cognition etc. The categories of theories of community and socialization include knowledge-accumulation, identity, functional transition, social-development, and global citizens etc. According to the specific and varied systems of government, seven developed countries from the West and the East are taken as examples of case-study to compare with China. The comparisons fall on these models mainly from the point of teaching and learning practice.
