The Acceptance of Global Education Scale (AGES) measures the attitudes of secondary social studies teachers toward goal statements for the social studies curriculum that reflect a global perspective. AGES can be used in inservice and preservice teacher training programs to form guidelines for construction of a secondary global education curriculum. The scale incorporates current perceptions of global education into ten goal statements for each of five world order tenets: reduction of violence, economic equality, ecological balance, social justice, and political participation. The scale also contains ten non-global statements taken from traditional objectives for social studies instruction. Respondents are asked to sort all 60 statements into six categories from "most approved" to"most disapproved." An example of a statement reflecting social justice is: "Students should critically examine textbooks, curriculum materials, and periodicals for bias in national and international affairs." The document includes directions to respondents, a response sheet, the 60 goal statements, and an explanation for ranking responses. (Author/AV)
