Book excerpt: The present era of technological innovations and education system is creating a ‘Learning Community’ for the overall development of India. Technology, particularly Social Media and Internet have proved to be a major contributing factor to globalisation in India. e-Learning and e-Governance focuses on how the ‘Information and Communication Technology’ (ICT) in the education sector, relate to globalisation and draw up several future scenarios for their progress. Currently, there has been an increasing gap between what has been imparted to student’s curriculum and what is really in demand. ICT’s impact in addition to the role played by the co-curricular activities has encouraged students, especially differently-abled and has boosted them with self confidence, honesty, adaptation, sociability, sympathetic attitude, social obligation and sense of responsibility. The book is mainly intended to be a part of an effort in creating awareness among the readers about the positive and negative influence of globalisation & ICTs impact on the ‘Indian Education System’ towards a development of the nation. The book is drafted with substantial number of secondary sources, empirical observation and theoretical in nature focusing on the impact of globalisation and use of ICT in the Indian Education System.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Information Technology: Languages, Societies and the Internet, which is the fourth volume in the 12-volume series Globalisation, Comparative Education and Policy Research, offers a critique of the nexus between ICT and its impact on society, individuals and educational institutions. One of the most signification dimensions of globalisation has been the rapid development of information and communications technologies (ICTs). Our lives have been changed by this in numerous ways and the implications for education are en- mous. The ICTs have transformed the linguistic, cognitive and visual dim- sions of human communication, as well as our perceptions of the self, and social identity in the global culture. The ICTs have facilitated the development of new dimensions of digital literacy, such as blogging and sms messaging. In this sense, cyberlanguage continues to evolve by borrowing and adapting familiar words, coining new expressions, and embracing particular styles (Gibbs & Krause, 2006, 2007). However, information technology can be both empowering and disempowering. Individuals use the Internet, notebooks, and their BlackBerries and communicate via email. If clothing is an extension of one’s skin, then the ICT has become an extension of our bodies. In a globalised world, linked through the Internet, a n- formed identity can lead to a multiplicity of identities, some contradictory to each other, and some taking place primarily in the virtual communities of cyberspace.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the ICT curriculum in the teacher education programmes of Kerala in the context of globalization. Globalization indicates interconnectivity of technologies (Kushner. 2008). The quality of education is a direct outcome of the quality of teacher education system. Due to globalization, the last five decades witnessed several attempts to change and modify the inherited system of teacher education. The technological advancement had affected these modifications. The ICT curriculum implementation is one such change. The paper compares curriculum in India and other developed countries and it was found that the developed countries have a much more highly technological oriented curriculum than India. Personal interviews and discussions were conducted among the teacher educators who are handling ICT in the teacher education colleges. On the basis of interviews and discussions many problems in dealing with the ICT in teacher education programmes are found. It is found that there exists a wide gap between the ICT curriculum and changing needs of the society when looking things in a global perspective. It also examined the reason behind the gap between the ICT curriculum and changing needs of the society. The teachers are not competent enough to handle ICT paper in teacher training colleges there was no specialist teacher to handle the ICT paper. It also found out lots more problems behind. Finally the paper looks into the challenges and issues faced by teacher educators in the fullest utilization of information and communication technology. Since globalization is creating fast paced, competitive environment through technology and communication which education must keep up with. The coming generation cannot be effective in tomorrow's world if they are trained in yesterday's skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses the implications of globalization on education from the perspective of social justice. It looks at two countries — India and the UK — to look at how global economic and cultural processes are mediated through nation states, institutional structures and the aspirations of different social groups. It seeks to resituate the debates around education and social justice in policy, research and public discourse by highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of globalization and education. It also demonstrates the effects of economic dimensions — the politics of neoliberalism, and how this has shifted the understanding of state responsibilities and marginalized issues pertaining to the agenda of social justice.

This book was released on 2024-07-18 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of emerging challenges in the field of mathematics education, educators and researchers find themselves navigating the complexities of globalization and innovations. As classrooms become more diverse and educational landscapes evolve, there is a need for an understanding of the multifaceted impacts of these forces. The very essence of mathematics education is shifting, influenced by global trends, cultural dynamics, and technological advancements. It is within this context that Impacts of Globalization and Innovation in Mathematics Education offers a profound exploration of the challenges and opportunities that arise in this era. One of the central predicaments faced by educators and scholars is the dynamic nature of globalization and innovation, which introduces unprecedented complexities in mathematics education. While cultural diversity in classrooms brings valuable perspectives, it also poses challenges in developing inclusive and effective teaching strategies. The integration of innovative practices faces resistance due to cultural conflicts and identity issues. Additionally, the fast-paced changes in global trends and the dissemination of information through media influence how mathematics education is perceived and practiced. This creates a demand for a thorough examination of the relationship between globalization, innovation, and the field of mathematics education.

Download or read book The Digitalization Conundrum in India written by Keshab Das and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the nature, extent and implications of rapid strides digitalization has made in India since the turn of the millennium. These have been examined not merely in the sphere of information and communication technology (ICT) but its multifarious applications spreading across almost all aspects of production, services and institutions which have profound repercussions for the transformation of the society and economy at the micro, meso and macro levels. With contributions from both ICT scholars and social scientists, this book presents diverse scenarios and unravels challenges faced in the process of technical applications, access by the users of these disruptive technologies (automation, e-commerce, big data analytics & algorithms, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, etc.) which, unlike heavy machines (embodied technology), mostly defy physical space, pace of mobility and inoperability between technologies. Chapters in this volume address challenges and possibilities in establishing and operating intricate engineering infrastructure, technical and societal constraints encountered in broad-basing digitalization across layers of educational and social skills conducive to difficult geographies. Issues dealt within this book include farming, healthcare, education, food processing, e-commerce, labour, rural community development, open source data and information democracy. The chapters also reflect upon implications on local economy and society, of the very global nature of these seamless technologies where inter-operability remains the quintessential advantage of digitalization whether promoted or spearheaded through the state, private sector or global capital. The book critiques policy inadequacies and suggests plausible policy approaches to reduce the adverse impacts of fast digitalization and broad-base potential benefits across space and levels of socio-economic development of regions and society. This book would be of interest to scholars, practitioners, technocrats, industry analysts, policy makers and civil society agencies.

Download or read book Education and Hegemony written by Nagaraju Gundemeda and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is a multidimensional concept that encompasses the politico-economic, socio-cultural and educational spheres of contemporary societies across time and space. The ideological convictions and methodological subscriptions of social scientists guide the discourse on globalization to unravel the meanings and implications for institutions, individuals and social groups in shaping and changing their everyday life experiences. Globalization unleashed major lessons and has played a key role in shaping the educational systems of developing countries, including India. In this context, this book: (1) maps the multiple epistemological traditions to approach the conceptual formulations of the globalization of education; (2) examines the socioeconomic context of the globalization of education in India; (3) analyzes the local responses to processes associated with the knowledge discourse; and (4) examines the relation between the globalization of education and its implications on the functioning of institutional structures, such as caste, class, gender, marriage in general, and the education system in particular. The book proposes various secondary readings and empirical observations of the global political and regional social economies that have, in fact, been guiding the Indian education system. The institutional engagement with globalization needs to be located within the framework of social mobility either to extend or retain the social position of groups within the current social hierarchy. This book proposes that the globalization of education not only hegemonizes the nature and direction of education, but also hierarchizes the production and consumption of knowledge systems. The hierarchical knowledge system tends to legitimize market-driven education by simultaneously marginalizing the other multiple streams of knowledge systems. The marginalisation of liberal knowledge creates a one-dimensional pedagogy which tends to erase the tradition of critical reasoning which questions the oppressive elements of the state and suppressive values of the civil society.

The book is an attempt to look beyond the traditional concept of a university to be able to grasp not only the drastic changes taking place at higher education systems worldwide but it also traces the causes and consequences of the same. Earlier the universities acted as the handmaids of the nation state but today they are required to promote global ethos transcending cultural and linguistic differences beyond the nation state. Today the focus is more on outputs, performances and public accountability rather than on inputs, academic freedom and solidarity. The author delves deeper into the very idea of university, latest trends, issues at stake, rise of private and non-state stakeholders, role of technology, emphasis on vocational skills, status of higher education in India, etc. She makes a precaution against some of the underpinnings behind the de-contextualization and de-territorialization moves by the economic and political hegemons in the name of higher education reforms.

Download or read book Bridging the Education Divide Using Social Technologies written by Somprakash Bandyopadhyay and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the concept of education divide in rural India and identifies various factors that shape and sustain such a divide. In doing so, it also discusses a range of attempts undertaken to bridge the education divide. Subsequently, the book has attempted in providing a socio-technical framework towards optimally deploying social technologies for addressing the issue of education divide of marginalized communities. The proposed framework offers a transition from traditional content-centric, teacher-centric and centralized education ecosystem to a connection-centric, learner-centric and decentralized education ecosystem of the socio-digital age. It demonstrates how Internet-enabled digital platforms, based on the principles of sharism and mass collaboration using social technologies, could help to solve one of the greatest problems facing the world: mitigating the extant education divide by delivering quality education to underprivileged sections of society. The book also presents empirical validation of the proposed framework to show how a community-driven blended learning platform can mobilize the dormant knowledge capital of domain experts to teach underprivileged rural Indian children, as well as help form communities of practice to enable lifelong learning for the rural adult population. The book closes by pointing out the challenges involved in building an equitable education ecosystem using social technologies and ultimately the possibility of creating a fair and equitable society. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers and practitioners in the domain of education who want to transform education ecosystems by using technological and process-related innovations to improve educational practices for underprivileged sections of society.

Book excerpt: This collection focuses on education policy in the context of globalisation and draws together influential research dealing with the interplay between education policy and globalisation. Globalisation and neo-liberalism in relation to education policy are addressed, as is the impact of the global financial crisis, the recent rise of ethno-nationalism and progressive challenges to neo-liberal hegemony. A number of chapters deal with the new spatialities instantiated by globalisation's new technology, and consider the implications for education policy. Also discussed are global policy actors (such as the OECD, EU and edu-businesses) in education policy; the significance of international large scale assessments to an emergent global policy field; refugees and education; English language policy and globalisation; off-shore schools; and the importance of affect in policy in the context of globalisation. The collection closes with two methodological contributions that consider the implications of globalisation in today’s critical education policy analysis. The collection is brought together in a substantial introduction that traverses the literature and research on globalisation and education policy and also situates the chapters and approaches in the collection within the field. The chapters in this book were originally published as articles in various Taylor and Francis journals.
