Global Knowledge Program
- Team A
- Collaboration
- Provides students with opportunities to
work with one another in a student
centered cooperative environment
- Teachers and students
learn to work with
others from different
cultures
- Students work with other
team members in order to
solve problems
- Recommendation
- As an educator on campus, we would not
recommend the World Peace Game.
Considering all factors that go into play for a
classroom, the game wouldn't be fit to
accommodate all types of learners. The
example given was from a gifted and talented
class; which isn't the normal classroom
prototype. Most general education classrooms
contain resource students that are
self-inclusion, so the requirements for this
game would go over their heads. This game
couldn't be used in elementary but more so in
a middle school or high school population.
Scholars also need to have a solid global
foundation in geography,
language/communication, cultural awareness,
and collaboration in order for the game to be
effective. In studying different countries not
only would they learn about the countries but
they would also learn about what motivates
the people who live in those countries. We
have a way to go for the global knowledge
piece and student-centered learning.
