ABSTRACT
Thailand is a member of Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). This chapter deals with the citizenship education and education for ASEANness in Thailand. The research framework for this case study was established after numerous consultations with the team members of Hirata project. In some schools, ASEAN contents may be taught in an additional subject or embedded in supplementary learning activities. To prioritize the important matters related to local ASEAN and global citizenship, most of the students focused on developmental and environmental problems. Citizenship education in Thailand has been moving towards the right direction that involves not only national citizenship, but also local, regional and global citizenship. The Thai Ministry of Education is advancing the ASEAN citizenship education among Thai students by cultivating in them, as ASEAN citizens, necessary skills especially foreign languages, multi-cultural understanding, and information and communication technology. ASEAN studies aim to equip students with knowledge, skills, and positive attitudes toward the ASEAN Community.
