Abstract

This article is a follow-up to another published in issue 7 of this journal. In both we try to present a paradigm shift in practices regarding how to work on global learning in the classroom. The proposal is organized around a model called “global learning optics” (GLO) that suggests replacing the unsuccessful practices surrounding the incorporation of Education for Development and Social Change in classrooms, to start to think from the very start of the planning and revision of our didactic proposals. The GLO model creates a different way of seeing any part of educational planning to acquire thinking skills focussed on social justice, happiness and love.

Key words

Global learning, curriculum and educational planning, optics, metaphors, cognitive balance.
