Geography Education for “An Attainable Global Perspective”

Student Globalization: How Much Internationalized Are Brazilian Mba Students? A Measurement Proposition

“…We used these four constructs presented in McCormick & Stephen (2016) as guidelines to explore the many other concepts underlying internationalization of higher education in business, as follows: internationalization of curriculum ( (Johnson et al 2006;Griffith 2009), global thinking (Bourn 2014;Klein et al 2014;McCormick & Stephen 2016), the challenge of established knowledge (Clifford & Montgomery 2014;Killick 2015), global perspective (Hanvey 1976;Klein et al 2014), global connectedness (Lehtomäki et al 2017), global citizenship (Nussbaum 2002;Clifford & Montgomery 2014;Haigh 2014;Sherman 2017), global dimension (Bourn 2014) and worldmindedness (Béneker et al 2013).…”

“…Global Skills in the context of international higher education are those competences the professional must acquire to become able to deal successfully in a global business environment. After an international academic experience the student should shape abilities to develop critical analysis (Scheunpflug 2011;and Bourn 2014;Kenna 2017;Lehtomäki et al 2017) in a global context, cultivate cross-cultural competence (Johnson et al 2006;Griffith 2009), think globally (Bourn 2014;Klein et al 2014;McCormick & Stephen 2016) and learn how to challenge established knowledge and assumptions (Clifford & Montgomery 2014;Killick 2015).…”

“…It is related to the capacity of and competence to deal with the business diversity of a global environment, taking into account the complex interdependence and connections typical of an international business logic. As posited by Klein et al (2014, p.2), -A learning outcome of ‗thinking globally' involves not only appreciating and understanding different international conditions but also considering these connections and deciding actions based on this broader perspective‖. As exposed by McCormick & Stephen (2016) there is a strong pressure on graduate business schools to develop managers able to feel confident when heading business in different parts of the world.…”

“…The literature review reports a considerable amount of research on relevant concepts related to the internationalization of higher education: internationalization of curriculum (Leask 2009;Clifford 2013), innovative pedagogic approaches (Simm & Marvell 2017;Kenna 2017), intercultural, learning and personal experience (Gu 2009;Hudzik 2010;Lyones & Gurholt 2017;Pereira et al 2017), critical thinking (Scheunpflug 2011;Bourn 2014;Kenna 2017;Lehtomäki et al 2017), cross cultural competence (Johnson et al 2006;Griffith 2009), global thinking (Bourn 2014;Klein et al 2014;McCormick & Stephen 2016), the challenge of established knowledge (Clifford & Montgomery, 2014;Killick 2015), global perspective (Hanvey 1976;Klein et al 2014), global connectedness (Lehtomäki et al 2017), global citizenship (Nussbaum 2002;Clifford & Montgomery 2014;Haigh 2014;Sherman 2017), global dimension (Bourn 2014) and world-mindedness (Béneker et al 2013).…”

Creating global students: opportunities, challenges and experiences of internationalizing the Geography curriculum in Higher Education

“…Building on Hanvey's (1976) geographic concepts and global perspectives, which included (i) perspective consciousness, (ii) awareness of the "state of the planet", (iii) cross-cultural awareness, (iv) knowledge of global dynamics and (v) awareness of human species, Klein, Pawson, Solem, and Waverly (2014) add (vi) thinking geographically and (vii) personal action. There is an important and subtle difference between "global" and "international", although the two terms are often used synonymously and interchangeably.…”
