Globalization of Education

Education - The process of teaching and learning; the discipline concerned with
facilitating transfer and exchange of knowledge, skills, and belief and value systems.

Trends in Education amidst Globalization


 Transnational Education - With the advancement in transportation technologies
and the evolution of international policies on migration, it is becoming more
possible for learners in a territory to receive formal education in a different
country.
Types of International Students
 Internationally mobile students – Individuals who has physically
crossed an international border between two countries with the objective
to participate in educational activities in a destination country.
 Foreign students – Non-citizens who are currently enrolled in higher
education degree courses.
 Credit-mobile students – Not necessarily moving into another country
but are taking some units from a foreign university.
 Open and Distance Education - Unlike before when receiving formal education
necessitated attending classes in a physical classroom, learning can now take
place in the virtual world. Some courses are now offered in part of in full through
computer and/or web-mediated classrooms.

Equivalency and Qualifications Frameworks


 Equivalency
- The process of gauging whether one’s level of achievement is commensurate to the
expected requirement for an academic degree.
- Before the K to 12 curriculum was implemented in the country, teachers from
Philippines who wish to teach in a K to 12 curriculum needs to secure attestation from
the government that the academic training they received is comparable to the required
training in the host country.
 Qualifications Framework
- A set of standards and competencies that serve as basis in evaluating educational
qualifications between and among nation-states.
- An example of this is the ASEAN Qualification Reference Framework that acts as a
guide among ASEAN member states toward developing their own national qualification
framework.
