Learning Outcomes
In recent decades, changes in technology, political arrangements, and economic and
financial systems have occurred across the globe. Much of this change has been so
rapid and radical and so far-reaching that it is said to have ushered in a new era of
“globalization”. Often presented as inevitable, the transformation of societies under
globalization is being undermined by the global financial crisis and increasingly resisted.
It is also an area involving considerable contest of ideas, even over the meaning of
globalization itself.
This course seeks to help students gain an understanding of the origins and nature of
what has become known as globalization, and introduce some of its implications for
education. It was designed and is being taught by academic staff who are researching
and writing in the area globalization, social justice and education. We hope you will find
it both enlightening and enjoyable.
It comprises three parts:
1. Education, development and the global economy, taught by David Small, the course
co-ordinator;
2. Globalization as experience: Historical views, taught by John Freeman-Moir; and
3. The development of globalization and its effects on childhood, taught by Alan
Scott.
EDUC339 is a 300 level course taught during the first semester and has a weighting of
30 points.
