1. What is Global Education?

According to Becker, J. (1982) global education as an effort to help individual learners to
see the world as a single and global system and to see themselves as a participant in that system.
It is a school curriculum that has a worldwide standard of teaching and learning.
Global education is not about learning about the food, flags, festivals and famous faces of
other places, though those items can certainly be incorporated. Instead, it is a broader focus on the
attitude, values, challenges, similarities and differences of other cultures and how we're all
interdependent on one another. (Hendricks, 2016)
2. Why is the global education important in the 21st Century?
Global education is important in the 21st Century education because it helps the students
or youth to understand what happening and why it happening in the world, in short it developed
the understanding and critical thinking of the learners. Global education is important because it
also express how the youth should react in a certain issue regarding in the world.
3. How can global education helps the students in the following: Skills, Attitude & Values
and Relationship to People.
According to Applied Education “21st Century skills are 12 abilities that today’s students
need to succeed in their careers during the information age such as Critical thinking, creativity,
communication, information literacy, flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity, and social
skills.” These traits is need to be develop by every students to classified as a globally competitive
citizen, to have skills, good attitude and values, and also to be a responsible people towards other.
4. What is Global Society?
According to Watsica, D. “global societies cannot be about one nation, no matter how big
or influential. A global society, therefore, must be international. This happens when a nations are
interconnected. So, when something happens in one part of the world, it is felt in another part. Also
the notion of society is important. Even though people are removed, there is enough commonality
that they not only understand each other, but also are in some ways vested in each other. There has
to be a feeling of a society. In other words, the mentality is that we are all in it together.
5. Who is a global Teacher?
The global teacher is the person who can expand their knowledge into other discipline. If
we pertain in formal education we can classified the teacher as the global teacher, but if we talk
about informal education, we can say that every person can be a global teacher because learning
can be conduct even outside the school or classroom. According to Orsal, Eduard “Global teacher
is a competent teacher who is armed with enough skills, appropriate attitude and universal values
to teach students with both time tested as well as modern technologies in education”
6. In what way global competence is achieved in the Social Science Curriculum give examples
According to Cheprasov, A. “Global competence is a term that refers to the knowledge,
skills, and other capacities used to examine, appreciate, understand, and use local, national, and
international elements to navigate the world successfully.” The competence of Social Science
Curriculum can achieved for example if the students is aware in social issues and pointing his/her
point of view. Also if their interest triggers to participate in Social Issue conventions or seminars.
If they can work with other people to establish a better community.
7. How will you prepare as a global trend educator in the social sciences curriculum?
As a future educator, especially in the 21st century I must be prepared in the challenges of
development. We must be flexible in using technology because it is one of the most powerful way
of teaching students. Every topic to be discussed must be aligned in the Social Sciences Curriculum
to enhance the skills of the learner and be a responsible people.
8. Differentiate the global educator and the global teacher
For me the difference of global educator and global teacher describe the informal or formal
setting of education. If we say global educator the word educator describe that the “person who
teach students” in the dictionary. So I can say that global educator is a Professional Teacher in
private or public school. Then the global teacher for me defines a person who can teach even not
inside the school or classroom. Meaning to say it’s in the informal setting of education. It can
define global because not everyone in this field is teacher, it can be a doctor, lawyer, and police
officer or government officials.
9. What is the role of social studies in the Philippine Education?
In the dictionary social studies means “the integrated study of multiple fields of social
science and the humanities, including history, geography, and political science.” The role of social
studies in Philippine education is to help the students learn the thing they need to know and to be
a globally competitive individual who can compete in different fields outside the Philippines so
we are promoting K-12 Curriculum to help the students familiar not just in the Philippines also in
the different countries abroad.
