21st Century Learning of History and Citizenship Values: A Conceptual Paper

Open access
This study aims to look at the influence of 21st century learning of history on students’ citizenship values. Furthermore, this study also looks at students' perceptions towards 21st century learning of history as a link to the students’ citizenship value. This study will focus on five aspects of citizenship values, namely supporting the principles and values of democracy, emotional attachment towards one’s country, sense of belonging, patriotic values and self-identity. This study will add an analytical study related to 21st century learning of history (21LH) and students’ citizenship values to which far too little attention has been paid in previous studies. The participants of the study will consist of secondary school students in Malaysia. The findings of the study will be analyzed using structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The implication of this study is that the findings from this current study will contribute by adding to the growing body of the current literature relating to researches on the influence of 21st century learning of history on citizenship values among students in Malaysia.
