Abstract:

“University students can become more proactive in dealing with some of the issues associated with globalization. Through this experience, they can demonstrate twenty-first century skills, which include critical and creative thinking, collaboration, and communication (the “4Cs”). This chapter focuses on pre-service teachers (N = 7) who provided their service to a school on a remote island in Fiji. The students collaborated in cross-faculty teams to design and deliver classroom activities (based on the local curriculum) that showcased the use of information and communication technology (ICT). Data gathered through participant observations and their journals showed evidence of the pre-service teachers applying their disciplinary knowledge and the 4Cs to solve seen and unseen problems. In the process, they grappled with some of the complexities of globalization.”
