My Personal Philosophy Approach to International Education
My Personal Philosophy Approach to International Education
My personal philosophy in becoming a teacher was based on three letter word MAD: Make A Difference. As an Educator, I feel the most important aspect of teaching is allowing critical thinking and open questioning to flow into your classroom environments. The style in which you teach in and the different learning styles you adopt is also a vital approach to my philosophy of teaching. Throughout my teaching qualifications, I have misunderstood the meaning of International Education. I had understood it as delivering an international curriculum (British, Cambridge, Australian or American) by international teachers to one adopted ethnic group. During my teaching years, I have adopted the different types of learning methods to aid for different learners. To encourage diversity and flexibility in my teaching methods as it should move away from the old rote learning that many schools encompass this until today.
My definition of IE is to develop citizens of the world in accordance with culture, language, and social cohesions to encourage the enjoyment of learning. As teachers, our mission /vision is to aim students to become global thinkers, building on team skills whilst adopting respect and concern for other cultures and peoples. How? when most International schools adopt monotony. My personal philosophy about International Education is how a student’s identity is seen as a Venn diagram consisting off, their notion of the self (their identity), embracing their cultural beliefs, and traditions and finally encompassing humanity to becoming good citizens.
I have come to understand the complexity of International Education and what it offers with its multiple factors that play a role in defining what IE is. As stated earlier my approaches as an educator is to develop great global citizen of the world in my students in relation to their culturalism, adopted languages and learning to adapt & live in unity. Working for the Ministry of Education building an awareness and reinforcing students sense of identity and cultural awareness are embedded in textbooks of all grades. This then makes me question the topic of cosmopolitan and nationalism. How can you develop international mindedness? If the class is only of one nation? Question arise; fear of loss of identity yet we live in a place of global networking. Most school still adopt rote learning? This is where my teaching differs... how to hold the value of UAE traditions, beliefs and the system of how they were brought up by their family members to a realm of Internationalism Education.

My vision of IE for the future
“Learning to know learning to do learning to be learning to live together’” quoted by Quist (2005)
Firstly, and most importantly ,Quist (2005) highlights having a good set of values and foundation within which an education can operate on, we can therefore; build a language of International Education.
Imagine a global branded product “just like soft drinks” its quality, taste, image and logo which is standardized throughout the world. That is IB! It is a true educational system that is internationally standardized, monitored and reliable. However , there are down falls in IB and challenged that over seek this “it is perceived as a distinctives cultural program” that can be seen as a threat to other different national identities.
Think long and hard about what you would like our students to become…international mindedness,? Global citizen? self-reflectors ? great citizens? multinational, multilingual, multicultural? Interdependence ? risk takers? Communicators? Welcome to the IB program “is to develop internationally minded people who ,recognize their common humanity and shared guardianship of the plant ,help to create a better and more peaceful worlds (ref)
After finally understanding what IB entitles, I can therefore, understand what and how teaching should encompass. What the IB offers to the world. Walker (2002) analyses his vision for the future of International Education, that is a system of world class, exclusive hard to influence other educational curriculum yet it’s a curriculum that changes the world. A system that is developed for student around the world which have the initiative to influence national education and its inclusiveness.
Question arises what constitutes education for citizenships in various nations hence, foreseeing the rapid changing of global community and its critics on National and International Educations. The world today is facing a set of challenges such as globalization, homogenization, deterioration in the quality of global environment, rapid changes of technologies and the ‘of same sense or loos of sense of community and shared beliefs in the common good ethical citizen we want to become’. How do we respond to worldwide issues or a as a member of a particular nation state. I can understand the attempts behind International Education and the challenges that asides with it, although; it attempts to combine identity and oneness within the same paradigm. It has one objective and that is to unit different cultures & identities through common global goals and belief will continue to strive for international mindedness.
My question in regards to my vision of IE is how can the discourse of International Education truly reflect the needs and the wants of the majority instead of only those of a privilege elite¡
I will leave with a quote (Bryan 1997) “to make the strange familiar and the familiar strange and to act on that change of perspective.”
