James Banks about civic education

Banks (2004:3-15) bahwa:

Citizenship education should help students develop thoughtful and clarified identifications with their cultural communities and their nation-states. It should also help them to develop clarified global identifications and deep understandings of their roles in the world community. Students need to understand how life in their cultural communities and nations influences other nations and the cogent influence that international events have on their daily lives.

Berdasarkan pendapat di atas dapat dijelaskan bahwa pendidikan kewarganegaraan masa depan membutuhkan suatu paradigma baru sebagai konsekuensi tuntutan globalisasi dan proses reformasi ke arah new Indonesian civic education.
