授業の目的 【英語】 Goals of the Course | | The progress of globalization, in which people's movements, activities, and their effects over national borders and local contexts on a global scale, has had a significant impact on education. For example, the common global educational goals by international organizations have brought uniform and homogeneous reforms and educational policies. Many countries have implemented reforms to address globalization in response to globalization itself. The interest in developing human resources that can contribute to global competition politically, economically, and socio-culturally is an issue that has been highly emphasized in recent years, both at the societal and individual levels. At the same time, as globalization progresses, the importance of respecting the local context of each country and society, such as traditional culture, religion, language, and political system, is widely recognized. Without understanding the local context, it is difficult for countries to address globalization in the world.
Based on the background, this course aims at making students understand current issues and challenges of education under globalization, especially in developing countries. This course will also introduce the impact of globalization on an individual with a particular focus on a micro perspective and local contexts through examples of empirical longitudinal survey results that clarified the actual student's schooling situations. This course will also review the actual educational situation focusing on the school level under globalization, using the latest reports by researchers and practitioners from around the world, the Global Education Monitoring Report published by UNESCO, and other materials. |

授業の内容や構成 Course Content / Plan | | The first week (session 1) provides an introduction to the globalization of education in the world. In the following weeks (sessions 2–4), this course treats the world ministry of education and human rights education approach by reviewing the initiatives and activities of international organizations. Recent trends and topics of global education, such as corporatization of education, are reviewed (sessions 5-6), and religious and indigenous education models are reviewed to consider the local context in education (sessions 7-6). From session 8, this course gives several case studies and examples of empirical longitudinal survey results that clarified the actual student's schooling situations in some countries from Central America and South and Southeast Asia. Learning from the findings and lessons from the recent trend of global education and its impact at the school level, we will find a possible solution for the current challenges faced by developing countries (session 11-13, group work). Students are expected to develop their logical thinking skills through reading materials and small group discussions. Finally, once they have understood the current educational challenges in the era of globalization, students should be able to make suggestions for addressing globalization with understanding local contexts in the future.
This course mainly covers the following several topics:
- Globalization of Education - The World Ministry of Education and Human Rights Education - Corporatization of Global Education - Global Education and Local Contexts - Religious and Indigenous Education Models - Student's schooling situation revealed longitudinal analysis in Central America (Honduras and El Salvador), South and Southeast Asia (Nepal and Myanmar)
* Other topics are also added according to the class progress and student's interest. |
