ABSTRACT
Today's world is often described as a networked world that has further been accelerated by globalisation and digitalization. In this understanding, individuals are illustrated as nodes, and the lines between nodes are illustrated as connection. The understanding that nodes represent individuals may be derived from a particular worldview. A particular part of the networked world where individuals are born refers to a socio-cultural framework or a worldview that is a cluster of the shapes containing a bunch of values. An intercultural pedagogical alliance needs a meta-cultural approach to beliefs, values, and assumptions of cultures for dialogic collaborative problem seeking, problem-solving, and decision-making. Thus, pedagogical reform has to facilitate intercultural interaction beyond the frames of Western-non-Western and Indigenous-non-Indigenous cultures. A practical form of the pedagogy is an intercultural alliance that requires both methodological individualism and collectivism in a non-dualistic way, or methodological relationism.
