Understanding Global Education

There is no definition of universally accepted global education. There are several organizations that support global education, what is the definition of that activity? Maastricht Global Education Declaration (2003) states as follows. "Global education is understood to include development education, human rights education, sustainable education, peace education and conflict prevention, intercultural education, which is a global aspect of citizen education." The Australian global education program, It states as follows. "Global education emphasizes the unity and interdependence of human society, promotes recognition of self recognition and cultural diversity, and affirms society.

It is important to understand the ambiguous term "global education" before studying deeply. The definition of global education is varied, and the global education conference network, which is my community member, is about to describe the core elements we believe. The important thing is that educators and organizations believe that the important role of the school is to nurture and support global citizens participating. But there is no simple answer to the question that still exists. How can we make other educational communities of the United States (and other communities around the world) understand and evaluate global education?

From the perspective of NSC's global education, global education addresses the growing interrelationship between regional and global reality. It enables learners to understand the world's problems and to provide people with the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes necessary for world citizens to face global problems. Global education promotes multiple perspectives and dismantles stereotypes by linking theoretical knowledge with past and present social reality. In May 2011, the European Commission adopted proposals on global interdependence and solidarity education. The focus of the European Parliament's global education hearing in August 2011 was to raise the political awareness of these issues as soon as possible; in the year 10 years after the Maastricht conference the 2 rd European Global Education Conference It would be held

There are many ways to build a relationship between globalization and education. In many cases, global convergence on educational policy, practice, and values ​​became visible in the early 2000s, so scholars often study this subject by globalization to education I will pursue. However, educational lending and transfer are not yet direct in reality. Because educational and cultural differences beyond social context still exist and the final goal of education (mathematics and moral cultivation, etc.) is largely controversial. Clearly, to understand the globalization related to education, specialty is very important. As with globalization, education globalization can not simply be described as harmful and beneficial, but rather explains his position, perspective, values ​​and priorities.
