Abstract

Fifty experts, representing 22 countries provide their comments and views on the use of terms such as "disarmament education" and "peace education" in international debates. Part 1 of the report presents a summarization of the major characteristics of the answers. Some of the interviewees emphasize that the terms are not interchangeable and that it is useful to be equipped with a variety of terms in dealing with this group of educational endeavors. Separate discussions present the view of the terms "education for international understanding,""disarmament education,""global education,""peace education," and other terms. Some of the experts indicate that there is a need for flexibility of terms and for new terms. Part 2 gives more detailed documentation of the 50 interview replies. (CK)
