Misleading opportunities: Global competency frameworks in Ontario teacher education
DERC doctoral student David Montemurro will explore the influences of Ontario-based global competency frameworks on teacher candidates’ understanding and practice of global citizenship education.
Misleading opportunities: Global competency frameworks in Ontario teacher education
27 Nov 2024, 16:00 – 17:15
This session shares findings from a case study that explored influences of Ontario-based global competency frameworks on teacher candidates’ understanding and practice of global citizenship education during their pre-service programme.
While the frameworks are populated with discursive orientations that emphasise skills for the global marketplace and distract attention from global issues and content, the study also indicates how the agentic dimensions of teacher candidates variably reject, revise and/or re-imagine global competency in ways that contribute to the development of critical reflective teaching practice.
This online event will be particularly useful for teachers, teacher educators, and researchers.
