Global perspectives include students’ knowledge, skills, and dispositions when interacting with people of other cultures. It aimed to identity what students know, how they behave, and what they can do in order to inform curriculum change. The participants included two veteran teachers and seventy ninth and tenth grade students. Each class taught by the two teacher participants were surveyed with a fifteen item survey. After, an interview was conducted with both teachers and six students to gain more insight into students’ and teachers’ global perspectives.With the analysis of two data structures, it is apparent that the participants mainly hold positive global perspectives. However, there are still students who have lower scores on the survey indicating negative global perspectives. This paper analyzes the responses of students who fell within the positive, neutral, and negative perspectives ranges. In conclusion, this study provides social studies teachers with a data driven analysis of high school students’ global perspectives. This will help teachers and curriculum administrators create curriculum that will enhance students’ knowledge, skills, and dispositions when it comes to interactions with different cultures. 2014-07-22 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1404222041 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1404222041 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
