Unable to see how the current affairs are relevant to them as young children.

Struggling with stress from relationship and studies.

# data[].attributes.body
Many people define their successes based on financial status. Thus the love for Singapore gets pushed back if it does not lead them to their defined path of success.

# data[].attributes.body
Students have yet to grasps the challenges of the real world at their young age, hence they are unable to relate and express their hope for the future.

Family expectations of the society at large and their experiences may have affected the students' viewpoints of various issues and their level of involvement.

The stress levels that the students are facing in Singapore and some other Asian countries will be a push factor, esp when they are not able to regulate and manage their stress.

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of the exposure to global issues.

Too self contained in own safety bubble.

# data[].attributes.headline
Students are engrossed in mass media. At their age, they may be interested in what is directly related to their lives and thus lack interest in current state of affairs in Singapore. This may explain for their lack of sense of hope in Singapore's future.

Students are not catching up with the current affairs and do not see the need to know about it, which actually affects them indirectly. So having CCE lessons on current affairs, nationally and internationally, would help the students to see the importance.

Lack of socially awareness. In general many accept and quite 'happy' living in a fish bowl . They need to be aware and pretty appreciative of our vulnerabilities, be more informed about what happen beyond the shores of Singapore and how that have impacted us.

Having activities that help them empathise with others will be a start. To drill in children the need to love the country before they reach teenage years.

The internet- students are exposed to a lot of information which may not be true. This may affect their attitude towards citizenship.

Most students lead very sheltered lives with parents providing for them and school as a strong support. Thus, this may have an adverse effect on the will to act - looking for solutions and working collectively - as students are dependent on adults providing the solutions.

Activating the Students as Leaders in Citizenship Experiences

# data[].attributes.body
I think if we get students to lead their peers during CE experiences, the buy-in and peer influence could be greater. Take the time to train our students to be the leaders of these school experiences and we might be able to see gains.

# data[].attributes.body
Provide students with hands-on experiences, such as community service projects, volunteer opportunities, and experiential learning activities that allow them to apply citizenship principles in real-world situations. Explicit teaching and linkage to citizenship disposition as post activity reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
Perhaps we can use the LRD to discuss contemporary issues with the class. The LRD is written at our students' reading level.

# data[].attributes.body
They are more interested in western/Korean/other countries' cultures and very well-versed in tiktok trends and not so much connected to their own cultural roots. Sometimes they make unfair comparisons and sweeping statements between Singapore and other countries based on what they read on social media without any proper understanding.

They are also very well-protected and seem to have this idea that Singapore will always thrive and what happens in other parts of the world will not affect them.

# data[].attributes.body
This may sound counter intuitive but perhaps it is not so much as doing more, but doing less, more impactfully. I believe students grow fatigued by repetitive attempts to impart citizenship values, akin to how even adults become tired reading news that is perceived as propaganda, not withstanding the actual merit of what is being covered.

# data[].attributes.body
more team building activities to bond students - can incorporate challenges to hone problem- solving skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Involve the students with current affairs lessons during CCE and FTGP lessons so they can see the importance. Also to broaden their knowledge and to build up their interest to know what is happening around Singapore and the world.

# data[].attributes.body
Facilitate conversations to expose students about what is happening in the world today and the challenges that life offers. Expose students to different cultures and situations around them so that it widens their viewpoint.

# data[].attributes.body
Provide short snippets of current affairs(can be student led)

More exposure but more importantly cultivate the interest in current affairs so that they can start looking at things systemically, instead of systematically. We are all connected! What we or others do and don't do, affect everyone!

unable to relate current affairs of the real world to their experience, perhaps too far fetch

They are not emotionally mature to be aware of this notion of love for country yet. Lack of knowledge of what’s happening in Sg and her challenges also make our students feel detached

# data[].attributes.body
Encourage students to put their plans into actions, especially if these actions are beneficial to the society at large. These students may have good ideas but put off not doing them due to fear of being seen as a busybody or shamed in social media (perhaps).

# data[].attributes.body
Expose more to local culture

# data[].attributes.body
Inculcate the values and build up resilience.

Not forgetting their SEL competencies and responsible decision making.

Last but not least - touching on current affairs to expose them to global issues. So they won't think the grass is always greener on the other side.

The contribution to students the weak Citizenship Disposition may be from several factors; home pressure and expectations (Sense of Hope) and the cultural tendencies of ‘minding your own business (Will to Act).

Due to the ever growing competitive culture, both in local domains and globalisation, students will have added stress in attaining the expectations of what is considered ‘successful’ by the previous generation. Students will feel the growing fear of missing out or losing out, as apparent from the FOMO culture that people already have, in attaining perceived success. The on-going comparisons and the advances in education, technology, work-place as shared from the news and their parents demands all contribute to the students feeling helpless and lost.

From observations of the Singaporean culture, locals tend to be rather crass approach to everyday situations, students have a tendency to mirror the behaviour of their elders. This would have the students not want to be upstanders, instead observe and avoid at any cost that would create inconvenience and discomfort.

A greater exposure to the various cultures and acceptance that we are all citizens of the world that contribute to the global struggle and issues. To remove themselves from this myopic perspective and viewpoint of only focussing on their own problems and having no sense that their actions or words can lead to a greater cause.

Students should be encouraged and mirror the positive actions of teachers and adults to have them reference good and positive behavioural patterns. This could be from choice of words to showing empathy, as empathy (not only from a local perspective but a global point of view) must be central to growing a community that exercises positive citizenship. As children are impressionable too, having them exposed to positive traits and thought provoking conversations will groom them positively.

By engaging with students in conversations, it will also ensure that they will be more comfortable and open to expressing themselves and their concerns. Thus they will be able to voice their worries and thoughts, and enable them to feel valued and feel like they are able to contribute - giving them a sense of ownership. This will probably improve their sense of belonging, and invests their efforts and thoughts into accordingly.
