What is globalisation?
How are its effects felt by different people across the
world?
How can we help young people flourish in a world characterised
by globalisation?
Conflict, poverty, breaches of human rights, and environmental
sustainability are everyday issues for global citizens today, old
and young. "Global Learning and Education "presents a detailed and
challenging introduction to a central concern facing education
systems and curricula around the world: How young people understand
and experience globalisation and how meaningful global learning can
be developed.
Encouraging a critical and reflective approach in order to
advance understanding of a range of theoretical and practical
factors, it considers the meaning and definitions of globalisation,
global citizenship and global education. "Global Learning and
Education "explores key issues including interconnectedness and
interdependency, cultural diversity, social justice and sustainable
development. It considers how global learning should and can imbue
all aspects of education, within curriculum subjects, through
project based learning, and through extra-curricular activities
that help students participate and engage in global issues. It
argues the importance of the mission and ethos of a school itself,
of shaping global learning for different educational contexts, and
of ensuring teaching and learning meets the needs of individual
learners."
Global Learning and Education "is a comprehensive,
thought-provoking - sometimes contentious - introduction for
educationalists concerned with what globalisation means for our
young people. Illustrated throughout with case studies that seek to
inspire creativity and hope, and including questions and suggested
reading for further investigation, it is essential reading for all
those involved in the teaching and learning of young people, as
well as those studying this vital topic on Education Studies and
Masters level courses."
