ABSTRACT

This chapter considers the importance of pedagogy of moving beyond seeing learning about development and global themes as the mere imparting of knowledge, development of specific skills or even promotion of a particular value base. It means going beyond seeing pedagogy, as policy-makers have stated, as being about the methods of teaching. The chapter suggests that pedagogy needs to include not only subject and curriculum knowledge, teaching skills, and styles of learning, but also review on issues and their relevance within the classroom, including wider social and cultural factors. Global learning practice can provide opportunities for giving space to stories and perspectives from people's from the Global South that demonstrate the impact of inequality on their lives and how this relates to wider social, economic and political forces. A challenging and important component of good global learning is to identify and demonstrate relevance and connection, to show that living in a global society means living in an interdependent.
