MULTICULTURAL AND GLOBAL LITERACY

THE NEED FOR GLOBAL COMPETENCE 1. To live harmoniously in multicultural communities. Education for global competence can promote cultural awareness and purposeful interactions in increasingly diverse societies (Brubacker and Laitin, 1998; Kymlicka, 1995; Sen, 2007). People with diverse cultures are able to live peacefully, respect differences, find common solutions, resolve conflicts, and learn live together as global citizens (Delors, et al., 1996; UNESCO, 2014b. Thus, education can teach students the need to address cultural biases and stereotypes. 2. To thrive in a changing labor market. Education for global competence can boost employability through effective communication and appropriate behavior within diverse teams using technology in accessing and connecting to the world (British Council, 2013). 3.To use media platforms effectively and responsibly. Radical transformations in digital technologies have shaped young people’s outlook on the world, their interaction with others and their perception of themselves. 4. To support the sustainable development goals. Education for global competence can help form new generations who care about global issues and engage in social, political, economic, and environmental discussion. DIMENSIONS OF GLOBAL COMPETENCE: IMPLICATION TO EDUCATION Education for Global Competence ◉Education for global competence is founded on the ideas of different models of global education, such as intercultural education, global citizenship education and education for democratic citizenship (UNESCO,2014a;Council of Europe,2016a). ◉PISA proposes a new perspective on the definition and assessment of global competence that will help policy makers and school leaders create learning resources and curricula that integrate global competence as a multifaceted, cognitive, socio-emotional and civic learning (Boix Mansilla, 2016) JapzThouhts Subscribe the Channel Educational Leadership(Lead by Example) RENE JAPITANA History with Sir Japz Distance Learning Tips Educational Leadership Social Media Accounts: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rene.japitana/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/JapzThouhgts Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nikoyrene88/
