Answer:
Explanation:
The 21st Century has been conceived as: The age of ‘Globalization’, the age of ‘Knowledge Economy’, and the ‘Information age’. Globalization refers to the contemporary social reality, which is characterized by change, uncertainty, unpredictability, complexity, interdependence and diversity. According to Giddens (1990) and Albrow (1994), it refers to the process by which human relations are increasingly being intensified. As a result, economic, political, cultural and social distinctions are becoming less and less inhibitive. Advancement, especially in the information and telecommunication sectors has compressed time and space and the world is gradually becoming a borderless forum for human interaction popularly known as the global village.
The educational challenges in a globalized world include:
ensuring that learners acquire the technological skills that enable them to access the global information and telecommunication networks,
transforming learner attitudes and dispositions to enable them adapt to change and uncertainty,
fostering character traits in learners that make them functional in a cross-cultural and democratic setting. Such traits include open-mindedness, tolerance and intellectual autonomy,
enhancing learner’s capacity and attitude to think critically and creatively.
Knowledge has become the most important factor in economic development in a globalized world, hence the use of the term “Knowledge economy” to refer to the contemporary global economy. Consequently, “the ability of a society to produce, select, adapt, commercialise, and use knowledge is critical for sustained economic growth and improved living standards” (World Bank, 2002). Education needs to go beyond merely informing learners. Learners have to be enabled to learn on their own, make sense of and apply knowledge innovatively. Learners, therefore, need to take charge of their thinking and direct it towards solving problems as wells as formulating and pursuing desired goals. Information and telecommunication technologies that facilitate and support knowledge-based activities have become extremely useful. Information has become easily accessible with the use of the internet hence the use of the term “information age” to refer to the 21st century. Merely consuming information uncritically is dangerous in a globalized age. Education should therefore enable learners to select, interrogate, evaluate and utilize information efficiently.
