Transmission, Transactional and Reflection Model: An Approach to Implementation of Citizenship Education in Kenya
Journal of Moral Education, v54 n3 p455-468 2025
Citizenship and Citizenship Education are at the centre of curriculum reform in Kenya. Weak implementation processes have previously watered down similar novel curricular reforms due to a need for an elaborate curriculum implementation model. This article reviews existing Citizenship Education models to develop an effective curriculum implementation model. As a result, the paper formulates the "Transmission," "Transactional" and "Reflection" Citizenship Education curriculum instructional model. Unlike existing models that view the three phases as distinctive independent categories, the current model conceptualises it as a continuous process. The model further specifies the resultant transformation and change to include "Disciplined," "Participatory" and "Critical" Citizenship. The model is similar to the vision of the basic education curriculum framework, which aims to enable every Kenyan to become an "Empowered," "Engaged" and "Ethical" citizen. If adopted, this model will improve the implementation of Citizenship Education, instilling requisite citizenship values for effective citizenry.
