Crisis y currículo durante el COVID-19: mantención de los resultados de calidad en el contexto del aprendizaje remoto (Nota temática No. 4.2 – Abril 2020) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO La pandemia del COVID-19 ha cambiado la vida de una gran cantidad de estudiantes, docentes, padres y madres a lo largo del mundo y millones actualmente enseñan y aprenden desde sus hogares. Aunque se trata principalmente de una crisis sanitaria, es probable que tenga importantes secuelas a largo plazo en la educación, incluso en el currículo y el aprendizaje. No obstante, la situación puede transformarse en una oportunidad para reexaminar el currículo, los procesos de evaluación de la enseñanza y del aprendizaje y el desarrollo de las competencias de las y los estudiantes, en vista de fortalecer sus habilidades de aprendizaje y mantener su motivación.Es probable que la crisis ofrezca una oportunidad para que las escuelas fortalezcan sus vínculos con las familias y para que las y los docentes se comuniquen y cooperen mejor con los padres y las madres en beneficio de las y los estudiantes. En la misma línea, la crisis significa que docentes, madres y padres podrían participar más en las decisiones respecto de la idoneidad del currículo. Esto puede servir como apoyo al paradigma de aprendizaje inclusivo, participativo y centrado en la y el estudiante, que considera tanto los intereses de las y los estudiantes como sus entornos y aspiraciones.

Global education in Lithuania: challenges and opportunities Year of publication: 2014 Author: Indrė Augutienė | Zina Baltrėnienė Corporate author: Lithuanian Development Education and Cooperation Network of Non-governmental Institutions (Association LITDEA) | Lithuanian National Non-Governmental Development Cooperation Organisations‘ Platform (NGDO Platform) The publication has been produced implementing the project ‘‘Quality Partnership for Development-EU Presidency project for the Lithuanian EU Presidency, 2013“ (no. DCINSA ED/2013/319-124). Today we live in a constantly changing world which is bound by the spirit of relations between people, countries and cultures and which presents various challenges and opportunities. Every day we have to solve numerous economic, social and environmental issues connecting us with other countries, their cultures and citizens and providing an opportunity for all of us to become part of a global society.In order to accept the opportunities provided by the globalisation processes and cope with the emerging challenges it is necessary to create the conditions for people to acquire the knowledge on global realities, emerging global development problems and to relate them with their own life. It is also important to provide the opportunities for people to acquire the skills and enhance own values facilitating active global citizenship and responsibility. Global problems increasingly impact on the lives of everybody throughout the world, therefore we must realise that we are part of the world with the still prevailing poverty, social inequality, climate change and global warming problems. In the current society it is especially important to ensure that different forms of education enhance people‘s understanding about the above challenges and their impact on personal, communal, national and global development.Global Education is directed toward formation and development of people‘s skills, knowledge and values facilitating understanding and response to the challenges of the 21st century. So far the concept of Global Education was not validated in any national documents. Today non-governmental organisations are actively discussing this issue with the academic society and with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs/and Education and Science representing the state in the above area. Besides, Lithuania has not developed a uniform Global Education strategy yet, but the dimension of Global Education is included in several specific national policy documents. In view of this, this article reviews the prerequisites for integration of global education set forth in the main legal acts defining Lithuania‘s sustainable development, development cooperation and education. This document provides a review of the Global Education concept, prerequisites for its implementation and description of the current situation in Lithuania. It also includes the proposals for a successful development of Global Education activities in our country.
