How Are Teachers Responding to Globalization?
Merryfield, Merry M.; Kasai, Masataka
Social Education, v68 n5 p354 Sep 2004
The primary goal of global education is to prepare students to be effective and responsible citizens in a global society. Toward this end, students need to practice real-life skills, gain knowledge of the world, and develop expertise in viewing events and issues from diverse global perspectives. How are social studies teachers preparing young people to understand their globally interconnected world, its issues, histories, and conflicts? Research points to four main strategies: multiple perspectives, global interconnectedness, global issues, and cross-cultural experiences. These four strategies are described in this article.
