Global Education Assessments
In order for global education to effective, one must develop a close alignment between professed goals and actions taken to achieve those goals. This includes: how the faculty designs curriculum, teaches courses, assesses learning, as well as how the institution fosters the success of all students, allocates resources, and rewards performance. With these rubrics in place and practice as the framework, the first step in any effort to assess global learning is to establish clear learning goals. Below, you will find resources to help you design rubrics to measure global education.
The OECD PISA Global Competence Framework
Twenty-first century students live in an interconnected, diverse and rapidly changing world. Emerging economic, digital, cultural, demographic and environmental forces are shaping young people’s lives around the planet, and increasing their intercultural encounters on a daily basis. This complex environment presents an opportunity and a challenge. Young people today must not only learn to participate in a more interconnected world but also appreciate and benefit from cultural differences. Developing a global and intercultural outlook is a process – a lifelong process – that education can shape.
