1. Globalization
- is the process of interaction and integration among people,
companies, and governments worldwide.
-isthe integration of national economies through trade,
investment, capital flow, labor migration, and technology.
-is the free movement of goods, services and people across
the world in a seamless and integrated manner.
[Globalization can be thought of to be the result of the
opening up of the global economy and the concomitant
increase in trade between nations.
-enables countries to liberalize their import protocols and
welcome foreign investment into sectors that are the
mainstays of its economy.
-countries liberalize their visa rules and procedures so as to permit
the free flow of people from country to country
- also means that countries of the world subscribe to the
rules and procedures of the WTO or the World Trade
Organization that oversees the terms and conditions of
trade between countries
2. Global Literacy
- Aims to address issues of globalization,
racism, diversity and social justice (Guo, 2014). It requires
awareness and action, consistent with a broad
understanding of humanity, the planet, and the impact of
human decision on both. Global Literacy also aims to
empower students with knowledge and take action to make a
positive impact in the world and their local community (Guo,
2014).
3. Importance of globalization:
Global village
incredibly aware of what is happening anywhere around the world
Social awareness
spreading news and facilitating globalization; keeping us up to date
and knowledgeable about current events; facilitated raising
awareness of issues, which can lead to great social change.
Personal communication
connected to our friends and families in various parts of the world,
(e.g. telephone and social media); reach out to loved ones
immediately and for a minimal cost any time we need, constantly
updated about what is going on in their lives through social media.
Economic opportunities
earning a livelihood manifold; people travel and relocate to foreign
countries in search for employment and education; look for
opportunities elsewhere and take them as they come; pursue
disciplines and work fields of our own choice in other countries.
Free trade
building and spreading of business; businesses to set up
manufacturing and administrative units outside of their home
ground. This has led to the spreading of the business, increasing
its market, diminishing costs, and creating a lot of employment for
nations which are often otherwise starved for job opportunities.
Globalization and education then come to affect one another through mutual
goals of preparing young people for successful futures during which their
nations will grow increasingly connected.
With globalization some of the challenges for knowledge, education and
learning will provide today’s learners the ability to be more familiar and
comfortable with abstract concepts and uncertain situations. It enhances the
student’s ability to manipulate symbols. Highly productive employment in
today’s economy will require the learner to constantly manipulate symbols,
such as political, legal and business terms, and digital money.
Globalization enhances the student’s ability to acquire and utilize knowledge.
Globalization enhances the ability of learners to access, assess, adopt, and apply
knowledge, to think independently to exercise appropriate judgment and to
collaborate with others to make sense of new situations.
Globalization produces an increased quantity of scientifically and technically
trained persons. The emerging economy is based on knowledge as a key factor
of production and the industries demand the employees remain highly trained
in science and technology.
It encourages students to work in teams. To be able to work closely in teams is
the need for employees. Working in teams requires students to develop skills in-
group dynamics, compromise, debate, persuasion, organization, and leadership
and management skills
Globalization breaks the boundaries of space and time. Using
advanced information and communications technologies, a new
system of knowledge, education and learning should apply a wide
range of synchronous and asynchronous activities that aid teacher
and student in breaking boundaries of space and time.
Globalization meets the knowledge, education and learning
challenges and opportunities of the Information Age. Knowledge
based businesses often complain that graduates lack the capacity to
learn new skills and assimilate new knowledge. Globalization makes
it easier for businesses.
Globalization creates and supports information technologists,
policy makers, and practitioners for the purpose of rethinking
education and supports mechanisms for the exchange of ideas
and experiences in the use of educational technologies.
Globalization encourages explorations, experimentation to
push the frontiers of the potential of information technologies
and communications for more effective learning.
Global sharing of knowledge, skills, and intellectual assets
that are necessary to multiple developments at different
levels.
4. Multicultural Literacy
-brings attention to diversity, equity and social justice to foster cultural awareness by
addressing difficult issues like discrimination and oppression
towards other ethnicities (Boutte, 2008). According to Boutte
(2008) education for multicultural literacy should help
students to develop the 21st century skills and attitudes that
are needed to become active citizens who will work towards
achieving social justice within our communities. Because of
the growing racial, language and ethnic diversity in our
country, Multicultural Literacy needs to be transformed in
substantial ways to prepare students to function effectively
in the 21st Century (Boutte, 2008).
5. Globalization and Multicultural Literacy
-iis knowledge of cultures and languages.
We live in multicultural societies, teach in multicultural settings,
and our students interact with those who come from a different
place. Awareness of and sensitivity to culturally determined
norms promote understanding. In fact, when students embrace
the principle that difference does not equal deficiency, they gain
an appreciation for the wealth of diversity that surrounds us.
6. Knowledge
- is a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, skills,
or objects. By most accounts, knowledge can be acquired in many different ways and from
many sources, including but not limited to perception, reason, memory, testimony, scientific
inquiry, education, and practice.
7. Culture
- can be defined as all the ways of life including arts, beliefs and institutions of a
population that are passed down from generation to generation. Culture has been called "the
way of life for an entire society." As such, it includes codes of manners, dress, language,
religion, rituals, art.
8. Economy
-is the large set of inter-related production and consumption activities that aid in determining
how scarce resources are allocated. In an economy, the production and consumption of goods
and services are used to fulfill the needs of those living and operating within it.
9. Students
- a person who is studying at a school or college
10. Education
- is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, morals,
beliefs, and habits. ... Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any
experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered
educational.
11. Technology
-is a science or knowledge put into practical use to solve problems or invent useful tools. ...
An example of technology is the Internet which has made up-to-date information available
to anyone with access in a matter of moments and provides real time information about
events around the world.
12. Community
- is a social unit (a group of living things) with commonality such
as norms, religion, values, customs, or identity. Communities may share a sense
of place situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or
neighbourhood) or in virtual space through communication platforms. Durable
relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of
community, important to their identity, practice, and roles in social institutions such as
family, home, work, government, society, or humanity at large.[1] Although
communities are usually small relative to personal social ties, "community" may also
refer to large group affiliations such as national communities, international
communities, and virtual communities.
13. Importance of multi cultural literacy
-
can be used as a tool to open students' minds. It helps to stimulate an understanding of
diversity in the classroom and helps to build an understanding of and respect for people
from other cultures. Also, multicultural literature can be used to examine racism (Colby &
Lyon, 2004).
