“WhileGlobalization will make the world smaller and more accessible, we
must continue to appreciate its vibrant diversity.”
In the era of technology and collaboration, the world has become smaller. At
the wink of an eye and a click of a finger, ideas can be promptly shared and
negotiated with the world. This massive avenue for communication has post
tremendous opportunities and diverse challenges alike to the education movement,
especially in the teaching-learning engagement.
Students in this generation play a significant role in this movement especially when
confronted with the challenging roles of pursuing global competitiveness while preserving
local culture. That’s why there is a need for a reasonable adaptation of these essential
realities in their day-to-day encounter through formal and informal learning engagement in
order to give equitable value to their academic pursuit
The challenge here while you savour and address the needs of global market, there
is a corresponding responsibility for you to continue to preserve and even promote your
culture. The later include your heritage, tradition, language, songs, beliefs, literature
and many more that truly depict the uniqueness of your community. If this is
continually exercised by the people around, then you can truly claim that despite
globalization, you continue to value localization. The conduit of the two makes learning
more relevant practical, and meaningful.
GLOBALIZATION
Learning experiences in the new era where tremendous advancement of science and
technology is observed challenge the academic institutions. Some of which are the strength
of the educational system where the curriculum needs to be relevant; the development of
human potential where each one needs to enrich his/ her competencies in various fields,
capacity building of the community towards environment protection. These are important
aspects of globalization where every member of the academic community needs to be
aware of and responsive about.
Students and teachers alike share lots of ideas on globalization and how it impacts
the progress of the nation and of the world. Moreover, people from all walks of life become
conscious of political, economic, social issues which are brought about by globalization.
According to Coatsworth, J. (2004), globalization happens when the movement of people,
goods or ideas among countries and region accelerates. This reality apparently challenges
the academe to keep track and be able to address the need of the world. Progress of the
country is no longer solely dependent within the development of specific country or region
but it is how one is able to cultivate and strengthen his/her potential for the benefits of
global community.
WHAT S GLOBALIZATION?
Many experts from the different fields share their ideas on globalization .
The captivating scenes of the global culture somehow lead people to lose sight of seeing the
beauty and the love for the local culture. Although it is a common understanding that both
scenarios are needed to become part of the global academic community, there is a nagging
call now to respond to the diverse challenges
The use of technology has become ubiquitous. This reality consciously and
unconsciously breeds and seemingly becomes the common source of agreement as well as
disagreement; creation as well as destruction, hard work as well as indolence, unity as well
as discordance; love as well as indifference, etc. Which are experienced in the family, in
school and the community? Certainly to many, confusion arises because generally local
cultures dictate the ones promoting the positive values, love, respect, unity, justice, and the
like. The ethos of globalization, however, challenges the people to be highly analytical,
creative, and decisive to choose options and do things which can make them productive and
competitive and value-laden members of the bigger community.
According to Joseph E. Stieglitz (2002), globalization is the closer integration of

the countries and peoples of the world brought about by the enormous reduction of
cost of transportation and communication, and the breaking down of artificial
barriers to the flows of goods, services, capital, knowledge’s and people across
boarders
Held, et al. (1999) defines that globalization captures elements of
widespread perception that there is a broadening, deepening and speeding up of the
world-wide interconnectedness in all aspects of life, from the cultural to the political,
the financial to the environmental. At issue appears to be a “global shift”; that is, a world
being melded, by economic and technological forces, into a shared economic and political
arena. He added that globalization can usefully be conceived as a process (or set of process)
which embodies a transformation in the spatial organization of social relations and
transactions, generating transcontinental or interregional flows and networks of activity,
interaction and power. It is characterized by four types of challenge:
First, it involves a stretching of social, political and economic activities across

political frontiers, regions and continents.
Second, it suggests the intensification, or growing magnitude, of

interconnectedness and flows of trade, investment, finance, migration, culture, etc.
Third, the growing extensity and intensity, and velocity of global

interconnectedness can be linked to a speeding up of global interactions and processes, as
the evolution of word-wide systems of transport and communication increases the velocity
of the diffusion of the ideas, goods, information, capital and people.
Fourth, the growing extensity and intensity of global interactions can be associated
with their Deeping impact such that the effects of distant events can be highly significant
elsewhere even the most local developments may come to have enormous global
consequences. In this sense, the boundaries between domestic matters and global affairs
can become increasingly blurred.
Cole (2018) shared that according to sociologists, globalization is an on-going

process that involves interconnected changes in the economic, cultural, social and political
spheres of society. Culturally, it refers to the global spread of integration of ideas, values,
norms, behaviours, and ways of life. Politically, it refers to the development of the forms of
governance that operate the global scale whose policies and rules cooperative nations are
expected to abide.
Back (2000), defines globalization as a process to which transnational actors

undermine sovereign national states with varying prospect of power, direction, identities,
and network.
