Introduction

AF T

Global Perspectives is all about helping you to develop a range of important skills that will aid you not only in your school and academic life but also in your future career. For example, in any job it’s likely that you’ll need to collaborate with others and of course you’ll need to communicate when doing this. Getting a job might seem a long way off now, but even at school, working well with your classmates is really important. For example, when carrying out a science experiment, or preparing a group presentation about a piece of literature. As you get older, you will increasingly be asked to reflect on how well an activity or a piece of work has gone. In studying Global Perspectives, you learn how to develop these really important practical skills as you explore fascinating topical issues and learn about different points of view from around the world.

R

This learner’s skills book is designed to help you develop skills in research, analysis, evaluation, reflection, collaboration and communication as well as to understand what is meant by each of these terms. Each skills section follows the same approach, guiding you through a ‘Starting with’, ‘Developing’ and ‘Getting better at’ scaffold, building your awareness of your progress and allowing you to take charge of your own learning journey. A range of activities and tasks are included, with plenty of opportunities for peer-to-peer and group work, and to enable you to reflect on your progress, track your achievements and record your next steps.

D

The learner’s skills books are write-in resources, so you can create and keep a portfolio of your work and track your progression through each skill and each stage as you head towards the Checkpoint assessment at the end of Stage 9. When responding to the Independent Reflection activities at the end of each lesson and to the Self-assessment activities to set learning targets, I encourage you to take the time to answer these questions about your own learning as honestly as possible. Being aware of how you learn will help you to learn more effectively, and this will be a very valuable skill for you to have. I hope that you will enjoy exploring a wide range of global topics and discovering different viewpoints from around the world – these, and the skills you will learn and develop, will equip you in countless ways, both in school, in your career, and in your life.

Which one question do you think is the best research question to allow you to do the following? a Explain a range of causes and consequences b Develop a global perspective c Develop a national perspective d Propose a course of action e Reflect on how your personal perspective has changed or developed

A global perspective is thinking about a situation or issue as it relates to the whole world. For example, ‘According to the World Health Organization, children and young people between the ages of 5 and 17 should participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day.’ This is global as the World Health Organization is a global organisation.
