Global Education at School – from Cultural to Global Competence: Teacher’s Role and Tasks
Journal Title: Studies in Global Ethics and Global Education - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue
Abstract
The author attempts to determine the specific role and tasks of the teacher in a global school and classroom. Nowadays, in a world that is growing smaller and flatter every day, the responsibility of a teacher gains particular importance. Teachers should perceive their students both as individuals and as members of heterogeneous, interdependent global community. In order to navigate the complexities of the 21st century, people need to be globally competent. The way to foster global competence at school is through cultural competence, transformational learning, and personalized education. Teachers who welcome and celebrate individual student differences in cultures, religions, languages, values and beliefs, interests and talents – simultanously create the climate of education that can support learning with others and among the others. Currently, cultural and global competences appear as teachers’ professional competences, as well as a purpose of classroom interactions.
