Global Competency for an inclusive World - OECD report

Global Competency for an inclusive World - OECD report | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
Carlos Fosca's curator insight, June 23, 2016 5:22 PM

La definición propuesta por la OECD de competencia global es “la capacidad para analizar problemas global e interculturalmente y desde múltiples perspectivas, para entender cómo las diferencias afectan las percepciones, los juicios y las ideas de uno mismo y de los demás, y para interactuar de manera abierta y eficaz con otras personas de diferentes orígenes en el base de un respeto compartido de la dignidad humana”. Esta es una competencia compleja que está a su vez constituida por una serie de conocimientos, habilidades, actitudes y valores que deben ser adquiridos a lo largo de la vida: conocimiento intercultural, conocimiento de problemas globales, capacidad analítica y de pensamiento crítico, empatía, flexibilidad, apertura a personas de otras culturas, responsabilidad, mentalidad global, valoración de la dignidad humana y de la diversidad cultural. Esta es sin duda, una competencia clave que debería ser promovida y desarrollada desde la edad escolar.
