영문 초록

The research paper aims to understand how globalization affects all sectors of education and instigates them to transform and change. Also, comprehending how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have the power to complement, enrich and positively transform education. This study finds that modern-day education reform and expansion needs to be regarded from the global contexts of decentralization and marketization perspectives. Likewise, the American Education System has been forced to reform rapidly in the past 3 decades, where it has seen many failures. Similarly, the use of ICT for active teaching has presented an efficient model in terms of integrating these technologies into teaching and learning practices. Additionally, teachers work in increasingly complex and diverse settings. Subsequently, this article serves as preliminary research that raises research questions on the impact of globalization and technology on education and the changing role of teachers and educators. Based on the above, this article suggests the adoption of the 4C’s of 21st century learning – collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking, as a vital supplement to public education, educators and teachers in order to prepare students for future jobs. Teachers and educators play undoubtedly a fundamental role in the education transformation and improvements at the school or university level. In order to understand the changing role of the teachers in the 21st century, a study on the subjective world of the teacher as well as the analysis of the factors that influence the ever-changing global education is deemed necessary.
