Skills to understand the world and to

take action

• Effective education for global


competence gives students the
opportunity to mobilize and use their
knowledge, attitudes, skills and value
together while sharing ideas on global
issues in and outside of school or
interacting with people from different
cultural backgrounds.
Knowledge about the world and other cultures

• This knowledge helps people to challenge


misinformation and stereotypes about other countries and
people, and thus, result in intolerance and oversimplified
representations of the world.

This can be done through the following strategies:

Perspective - taking refers to the cognitive and social


skillsof understanding how other people think and feel.

Adaptability refers to the ability to adapt systems thinking


and behaviors to the prevailing culture environment, or to
situations and contexts that can present new demands or
challenges.
Openness, respect for diversity and global - mindedness

• Globally competent behavior requires an attitude of


openness, respect and global - mindedness.

Openness towards people from other cultural


backgrounds
- involves sensitivity towards curiosity about and willingness
to engage with other people and other persepctives on the
world.

Respect
- consists of a positive regard for someone based on
judgement of intrinsic worth.

Global - mindedness
- is defined as a worldview, in which one sees him/herself
connected to the community and feels a sense of
responsibility for its members (Hansen, 2010).
Valuing human dignity and diversity

• They constitute critical filters through which


individuals process information about other
cultures and decide how to engage with others
and the world.

• People who cultivate values, become more


aware of themselves and their surroundings, and
are strongly motivated to fight againts exclusion,
ignorance, violence, oppression and war.
Four aspects of valuing equality of core rights
and dignity:

1. The prohibition of all types of inhuman treatment,


humiliation or degradation by one person over
another
2. The assurance of the possibility for individual
choice and the conditions for each individual's self-
fulfillment, autonomy or self-realization
3. The recognition that protection of group identity
and culture may be essential for that of personal
dignity, and
4. The creation of necessary conditions to have the
essential needs satisfied.
Global Understanding
• Understanding is the ability to use knowledge to find meaning and
connection between different pieces of information and perspective.

Four interrelated cognitive processes:

1. The capacity to evaluate information,formulate arguments and


explain complex situations and problems by using and connecting
evidence, identifying biases and gaps in information and managing
conflicting arguments.
2. The capacity to analyze multiple perspectives and worldviews,
positioning and connecting their own and others' perspectives on the
world
3. The capacity to understand differences in communication,
recognizing the importance of socially appropriate communication and
adapting it to the demands of diverse cultural contexts
4. The capacity to evaluate actions and consequences by identifying
and comparing different courses of action and weighing actions on the
basis of consequences.
Integrating Global and
Intercultural Issues in the
Curriculum

• For global education to translate


abstaction into action, there is need
to integrate global issues and topics
into existing subjects.
Pedagogies for promoting global competence.

• Group - based cooperative project work - can


improve reasoning and collaborative skills.

• Class discussion - is an interactive approach


that encourages proactive listening and responding
to ideas expressed by peers.

• Service learning - is another tool that can help


students develop mutliple global skills through real-
world experience.
Attitudes and values integration towards
global competence.

• Specific subject that deals with human rights


issues and non-discrimination

• Recognizing the schools and classroom


environments' influence on developing students'
values would help teachers become more aware
of the impact of their teaching on students.
