Why is global education necessary? What is global education? Numerous scholars have attempted to answer these questions since the 1970s. And, there has been a continuous debate on both the rationale and conceptualization of global education. Global education needs to be reviewed in both rationale and theory to understand inservice teachers’ practice of global education and new conceptualizations that have emerged out of the literature on globalization. The purpose of this thesis is to examine rationales and conceptualizations of global education based on literature from the 1970s to the present. Books and articles were selected based on their relevance to global education and the frequency by which they are cited. According to the literature, global education prepares young people to be effective and responsible participants in a world increasingly affected by globalization. In order to reach this goal, young people need to learn to look at the world from global perspectives (Anderson, 1982; Becker, 1979; Case, 1993; Hanvey, 1976). Global perspectives may include many elements such as perspectives, knowledge, and skills. First, I discuss rationales for global education by answering the question: Why is global education necessary? Next, I examine elements in the conceptualizations of global education based on some major scholars’ work in the field. Lastly, I discuss the implications of these rationales and conceptualizations of global education, and identify some questions, issues, or concerns on global education.
