Description:
Global competency development is a need of today to meet the global demand of globally educated youth from the secondary as well as in the higher education level. Hence, the education systems of entire globe should aligned to process of development of global competence. In the developing country like India, to compete with the emerging Asian giant from all the axes is must to align the global competence. This needs a special orientation of teacher and students of traditional courses of higher education. The professional students should be more oriented toward the global competence.
Background:
Globalization has led to an increase in the frequency and type of interactions among people of different cultural origins. In some countries this results from immigration. In most it results also from the increasing use of telecommunication technologies and from the transformed production and trade of goods and services. Immigration, trade, and communications present unprecedented opportunities and challenges to most people. These enhanced interactions among people with different worldviews and cultural values affect social expectations and notions of identity. Individuals’ or groups’ responses to the changes around them depend in part on how they are prepared to understand cultural differences, and to think about globalization and its attendant processes.
Given that finance, trade, technology, and information now move relatively freely across national borders; governments, corporations, educational institutions, and the international community at large need managers and professionals who possess a broad understanding of our interconnected world. Global education is essential to students’ development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for future employment and for building successful relationships in an increasingly interconnected and pluralistic society (Crawford & Kirby, 2008). More recently and in response to the economic, political, technological, and environmental changes being brought about by globalization, the importance of internationally-attuned education has taken on renewed vitality as is evidenced by the global competency initiative issued by the Council on International Education Exchange in 1988 (Council on the International Educational Exchange [CIEE], 1988). In general, the report recommended an increase in the number of students studying abroad, greater participation of students from under-represented academic and social groups, more experiences in developing countries, and internationalization of curricula and the university atmosphere.
