Topik: cosmopolitan; classroom Fulltext: Hong Kong-Conference 16.pdf (310.52KB) Isi artikel In this paper, I will explore the possibilities and challenges presented by the increasingly globalised, transnational nature of social experience. With the spread of access to communication technologies, and the ever-increasing pace of innovation and change, the spaces in which we live and work have been flattened, no longer constrained by geographical, national, or indeed temporal boundaries. Despite this profound shift in the way we perceive and interact with the world, contemporary experiences of education remain largely confined to the four walls of the classroom, where knowledge is abstracted, packaged and ‘delivered’ to students. This traditional model of education - indeed, knowledge itself - has been disrupted by the ‘democratisation’ of access to information, ideas and identities in a networked world. The space in which we live, work, interact and learn is now a transnational one, where knowledge, identities, and cultures are continuously recreated and re-imagined, unmade and remade to suit myriad emerging cultural, technological, geo-political and social contexts. To successfully negotiate and communicate in globalised spaces, individuals must have both an understanding of how these networks function, as well as the skills to operate within these ever-diversifying contexts. As educators, we are impelled to bring the world into the classroom; with the emergence of online, networked learning opportunities, this need not be a one-way process.
