Abstract: This study evaluates pre-service teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and confidence regarding global citizenship education (GCE) at North Eastern Mindanao State University (NEMSU)-Tandag Campus. Using a mixed-methods approach, which included qualitative and quantitative research paradigms, the study assessed participants' familiarity with GCE concepts, their perceptions of its importance, and their readiness to integrate global perspectives into classroom teaching. A survey method was employed to gather data, revealing that while some pre-service teachers were highly familiar with GCE, many reported varying levels of confidence in their ability to promote global issues and foster critical thinking. Key findings include a significant number of respondents feeling neutral about their preparedness and a need for more targeted professional development. The study contributes to understanding the gaps in current teacher training programs and emphasizes the necessity for integrating comprehensive GCE training. The results suggest that enhanced training and resources are crucial for improving pre-service teachers' confidence and effectiveness in teaching from a global perspective. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating interventions to address these gaps and explore effective strategies for GCE integration in diverse educational contexts.
