Teaching Students to Think Globally

2851 Marshstone Drive, Marietta, GA 30064.

The Global Thinking Project engages students from different countries in the exploration of global environmental topics by means of a computer-mediated telecommunications network. The project grew out of more than 15 trips to the former Soviet Union sponsored by the Association for Humanistic Psychology beginning in 1983. Through seminars, classroom visits, laboratory demonstrations, and other informal and formal experiences, international agreements were signed between Georgia State University and the Russian Academy of Education. Currently, the project brings together nearly 70 teachers and 2,500 students from six countries to learn to think globally. This article outlines the history, nature, and activities of the Global Thinking Project, and discusses global thinking as a way of thinking that can serve as a model of learning in classrooms in different cultures.
