Pedagogical approach to education for global citizenship... enables students to experience the five learning modalities of:  Independent learning: promoting responsibility for learning  Learning as dialogue: encouraging co-operative learning  Learning as partnership: working across institutional and community divides  Learning as public good: developing commitment to social ends  Learning as lifelong: establishing dispositions and habits of mind (Barr, 2005:57)

15.  What do students get out of diverse placements / global learning?  How is a placement in a developing country different to that in a developed country?  Is one more valuable than the other?  What might be arguments for local vs. global placements (of this diverse nature)?  What are the advantages of group over individual placements?  To what extent should the student research the context they are visiting?

16.  I think it’s really important for young people to know what’s going on in the world  Having a global dimension to my education is totally pointless and would detract from my important learning  Global learning is absolutely essential for the development of myself and those that I teach  Global learning is a low priority issue on the scale of what is important in my life and my work  Whilst creative thinking is important there are things which take a higher priority  Global education adds to pupil learning  I think global learning is significant but honestly don’t know if it is more or less important than Maths or English  Young people should be aware of different perspectives  Global learning is too complex to engage with  Incorporating global learning is beyond the role/scope of being a teacher  I hate the whole idea of teaching about global learning  Whilst global perspectives in learning could be important, the concept may need further clarification to be usefully applied to the curriculum  I am very passionate about global education  Global learning is possibly one way to promote critical thinking
