ON BEING A CITIZEN IN THE CHANGING MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA AND ON SOCIAL STUDIES EDUCATION

As SBEB/ASSE (Association for Social Studies Educators) we are glad to meet you in the second issue (May 2011) of Journal of Social Studies Education Research (SBEAD/ JSSER). We are presenting this issue as a journal which is scanned by these two indexes: ASOS and EBSCO. Having met the minimum requirements of being international by getting many members from different countries in our Advisory Board and Scientific Board in our first issue, we have started to reach the point we anticipated at the very beginning by presenting the two articles sent from abroad in this issue. Our biggest ideal is becoming a global platform where the newest knowledge produced on social studies/citizenship education is shared by making this development to continue consistently.
