Kemampuan global dan tradisi berpikir tingkat tinggi dalam Islam

<p class="15bIsiAbstractBInggris"><em>Entering the era of globalization, millennials, and the industrial revolution 4.0 which is full of challenges and very competitive competition, everyone must not only have global competencies (global abilities) but also must have high order thinking abilities (high-level thinking skills). In order not to be alienated and marginalized, Muslims as the majority of Indonesia's population, and the second-largest population in the world, inevitably have to have global capabilities and high-level thinking. This article, which uses library data and direct and indirect observations, proves that global abilities and higher-order thinking are part of the Islamic tradition. The sources of Islamic teachings, the Qur'an, Al-Hadith, and the history of the journey of Muslims in the golden age of the 7th to 13th centuries AD, have encouraged and given birth to a tradition of having global competence and high- thinking skills level. The background, characteristics, scope, steps, and examples of the practice of global abilities and higher thinking from an Islamic perspective can be proven in this paper. For this reason, as part of the world community that must compete and emerges as the winner, it is time for global abilities and high-level thinking to be reclaimed and put into practice.</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p class="16bIsiAbstrak">Memasuki era globalisasi, milenial dan revolusi industri 4.0 yang penuh tantangan dan persaingan yang amat kompetitif, setiap orang tidak saja harus memiliki <em>global competencies</em> (kemampuan global) melainkan juga harus memiliki kemampuan <em>high order thinking</em> (kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi).

Enhancing students’ global competence through international business study missions

Purpose This paper aims to share how an Asian university enhanced students’ global competence through international business study missions (BSMs). More specifically, it focuses on how the design of these BSMs enabled “deep” learning beyond industry tourism and how 21st-century competencies such as “global competence” can be acquired through participation in short-term, faculty-led study missions. Design/methodology/approach Using the case study approach, it critically analyzes the learning goals and objectives, design decisions, implementation details and learning outcomes underlying three BSMs led by three instructors from the same university to the USA (New York), Germany (Berlin and Stuttgart) and South Korea (Seoul). Findings The study shows that students gained global competencies related to specific fields of study such as the creative industries, urban sustainability and entrepreneurship. It shows how design choices such as destination, range of organizations, length of individual visits, range of pedagogical techniques, intensity of preparation and quality of management contribute to students’ acquisition of global competencies. Research limitations/implications This research presents a subset of case studies that may limit the generalization of the findings; the bias that results from an unrepresentative, opportunistic sample (selection bias); and lack of quantitative causality in a qualitative evaluation. Practical implications The course design described here provides practical information for designing study abroad “deep” learning goals, objectives and outcomes focusing on global competence. Originality/value The detailed case studies of three instructors from different disciplines to achieve the country’s education vision of globally competent students.

Effective Training of the Teachers in Teaching of Mathematics

This chapter aims to provide an in-service teaching model, which is named as a “reflective teachers-as-designers professional development model” based on the literature, designed to give teachers an understanding of teaching that focuses on developing real-life contexts and developing global competencies. First, the conceptual framework for the learning of teachers and their capacity as designers are discussed. Then, content components and process components of the model are presented by providing the rationale behind each element.

Teaching With the 21st-Century Competencies

Teaching in the 21st century is hard, complex work. There are many resources available to use for teachers and organizations. The teacher needs to focus and only using instructional materials and practices that are effective and maximize learning. The P21 Framework allows for teachers to align and produce curricula and materials that are high leverage in nature and produce global competencies. Through the use and implementation of philosophy and psychology, a teacher can incorporate their own 21st century skills and practice to produce 21 century learners.

Enhancing Pre-Service Teachers' Global Competencies Through Interdisciplinary Study Abroad

A continuing challenge in teacher education is how to develop future teachers' global competencies to prepare them for the diversity of learners in school classrooms. This chapter investigates an undergraduate teacher education degree program which aims to enhance future teachers' intercultural engagement and global competence within an interdisciplinary curriculum incorporating an international experience. The researchers explored the level of pre-service teachers' engagement with their host society during a study abroad year through analysis of students' written assessment tasks. Findings indicates that the program encouraged the pre-service teachers' engagement with the local society through opportunities for students to explore complex social issues beyond the university context, potentially contributing to their global competence development. The chapter will be of interest for researchers and educators interested in exploring the value of alternative and interdisciplinary approaches to pre-service teacher education to prepare teachers for diversity of modern schools.
