INTEGRATION OF THE CAMBRIDGE CURRICULUM IN SHAPING THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE OF NATIONAL PLUS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS: A LITERATURE STUDY

Abstract

The advancement of globalization demands that educational systems be capable of shaping students who possess global insight and perspectives from the primary education level. One of the efforts undertaken by national plus schools is the integration of international curricula, such as the Cambridge Curriculum, into the learning system. This study aims to analyze the integration of the Cambridge Curriculum in fostering global perspectives among national plus primary school students through a literature study approach. The method employed is qualitative research using a literature review, analyzing various scientific sources such as journals, books, and educational documents relevant to the research topic. The findings indicate that the integration of the Cambridge Curriculum supports the development of critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills, as well as enhances English language proficiency and awareness of global cultural diversity. Therefore, the integration of an international curriculum can serve as an effective strategy in preparing primary school students to face future global challenges.
