Abstract

This study aims to take the practice of the life environment studies “Aim! Yu-Gi-Oh!” in Japan as an example, examine the qualities of global citizenship it aims at and its features. Whether global citizenship was fostered through learning is to clarify its characteristics concretely through analysis of practice records. The following two points were clarified through this research. The first point is that this practice aims to acquire basic skills of global citizenship for children in the lower grades of elementary school. The second point is that in this practice, children in the lower grades of elementary school were engaged in "inquiry learning" in order to foster global citizenship. I believe that the above points have implications for the development of global citizenship in early childhood education in Indonesia. The future prospect is to spread the value of practice in Indonesian elementary schools and work on it as a concrete lesson.
