DEFINITION OF GLOBAL EDUCATION: Study of Nations and
People, that it is ―an effort to help individuals to see the world as a single
and global system and to see themselves as participants of that system.‖ Similarly, James
Becker Says in his article, Goals of Global Education that the overall goal of
his aspect is to, ―incorporate into the educational curriculum and the
educational experience of each student a knowledge and empathy of cultures of
the nation and the world (and to) draw into existing courses of study the
illustrations and references to political, social and cultural themes.
Students will be encourage to take a global
perspective, seeing the world as a whole.‖ With this in mind, teaching with the
adoption of the ideology of global education, children learn to perceive
themselves as a participant of a large global culture. Children learn of
various cultures and cultural perspective which makes them better able to
relate and function in a one-world environment under teachers who are
intellectually, professionally and humanly prepares.
UNESCO defines global
education as ―a goal to become aware of the educational conditions or lack of
it, and aim to educate all people to certain world standards. It may also be
defined ―curriculum that is international in scope‖.
Multicultural education enables teachers and
educators to give value to the difference in prior knowledge, experiences of
learners from diverse background and familiarity with student‘s histories of
diverse cultures
