How does globalization challengue us as professionals in education?
GROUP WORK
The 3 biggest challenges of the world today:
GLOBAL WARMING
POVERTY
WAR
How can we work on this?
- We chose global warming because it is up in the media right now. It is an important people worry about and discuss. Hunger and pollution is bi-products of global warming. It doesn’t affect specific people or country, but everybody and everywhere. Education to our pupils about what it does to our planet and what they can do about it themselves.
- Poverty is a big in big parts of the world. We can inform our pupils about the problem of poverty in the world.
- War is a problem in big parts of the world. War is often started by cultural differences. Informing the pupils about the different cultures and make a mutual understand and respect towards them will be a way of preventing future wars.
What is globalization in my own words and how can we work on this?
The different cultures and societies becomes one when we talk about the globalization process. In this process the different ideas of each region are joined to form a single idea of many topics: economy, language, religion, food, transport, political ideas...
I understand globalization like a process of societies integration. For this reason I think that teachers have to exchange and approach this knowledge about her own culture and the topics that are related to education to make easily the global understanding.
To be able the learning of the globalization concept, I think that would be a good idea to present the word with a map, like a brainstorm. In this map could be mentioned the different topics that are related with the globalization concept.Then, we can discuss about each one of the topics and what is the relation with the 3 biggest challengues of the world.
