Title: The Role of Educational Technology in Promoting Global Citizenship Education
Abstract:
The increasing interconnectedness of our world necessitates the development of global citizenship education (GCE) to empower individuals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to actively participate in a globalized society. Educational technology (EdTech) has emerged as a powerful tool in facilitating GCE, enabling learners to engage with diverse cultures, perspectives, and global issues. This research project aims to explore the role of educational technology in promoting global citizenship education, examining its benefits, challenges, and potential future developments. Through an extensive review of literature and empirical evidence, this study aims to provide valuable insights to educators, policymakers, and technology developers to enhance the integration of EdTech in fostering global citizenship education.
