Teaching Global Perspectives: Introducing Student Teachers to Development Education

2011
Books

Abstract

Development Education represents a new vision of education that empowers the learner to assume responsibility for creating a more just and sustainable world. The Ubuntu Network specifically explores opportunities for its integration into post primary initial teacher education programmes in Ireland. This book draws from the diverse range of action research projects that have been undertaken by Teacher Educators involved in the network during the period from May 2008–2010. Furthermore, it provides an account of Teacher Educators’ endeavours to integrate Development Education into their teaching and professional practice. Contributions represent both the concurrent and consecutive models of teacher education, and will relate to specific subject content, subject pedagogies (methodologies) and foundational education disciplines.

Teacher education

Teacher education or teacher training refers to programs, policies, procedures, and provision designed to equip (prospective) teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, approaches, methodologies and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school, and wider community. The professionals who engage in training the prospective teachers are called teacher educators (or, in some contexts, teacher trainers). There is a longstanding and ongoing debate about the most appropriate term to describe these activities.

Teacher

A teacher, also called a schoolteacher or formally an educator, is a person who helps students to acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue, via the practice of teaching. Informally the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g. when showing a colleague how to perform a specific task). In some countries, teaching young people of school age may be carried out in an informal setting, such as within the family (homeschooling), rather than in a formal setting such as a school or college.

Sustainable development

Sustainable development is an organizing principle that aims to meet human development goals while also enabling natural systems to provide necessary natural resources and ecosystem services to humans. The desired result is a society where living conditions and resources meet human needs without undermining the planetary integrity and stability of the natural system. Sustainable development tries to find a balance between economic development, environmental protection, and social well-being.
