RECONSTRUCTING ELEMENTARY EDUCATION LEARNING BASED ON A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The era of globalization has brought significant changes in the field of education, including the learning process in elementary schools. The rapid development of technology, the fast flow of information, and the increasing interaction among nations require education systems to equip students with global competencies from an early age. Therefore, it is necessary to reconstruct elementary school learning that not only focuses on the mastery of knowledge but also emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills, tolerance, cultural awareness, and the ability to adapt to a global society. This study aims to examine and reconstruct elementary school learning based on a global perspective in the era of globalization through a literature study approach. The method used in this research is qualitative research with a literature study approach by analyzing various scientific sources such as journals, books, and educational documents relevant to global perspective-based learning. The data analysis technique was carried out through collecting, reviewing, categorizing, and drawing conclusions from selected literature sources. The results of the study indicate that elementary school learning based on a global perspective can be implemented through the integration of global citizenship values, the use of technology in learning, the development of contextual learning, and the strengthening of students’ character so that they can understand cultural diversity and global issues. Therefore, the reconstruction of learning oriented toward a global perspective is expected to prepare elementary school students to become individuals who have broad insight, open-minded thinking, and the ability to actively participate in global society.
