The Specific Challenges of Globalization for Teaching and Vice Versa.

Smith, David Geoffrey

Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v46 n1 p7-26 Spr 2000

Contemporary globalization is a continuation of European colonialism, shaped by the Protestant capitalist ethic and technology. The changing mandates of teaching and education under the influence of globalization are identified. Possibilities for teaching in the age of globalization are explored under three themes: recovery of personal truth, truth as shared, and truth as home. (Contains 29 references.) (Author/TD)
