Globalization, Education and Teacher educationAbstract
The impact of globalization on education across the globe is in no mean measure, felt in many obvious ways by teachers in Nigeria, either positively or negatively. In many nations, novelty and innovation have been introduced in teacher education through renewed educational plans, policies, decisions, implementation and import of technology so that teachers’ knowledge and skills can be embellished with the demands of the global workplace. However, the dwindling fortunes of teaching profession orchestrated by poor governance has dismembered teachers in Nigeria from global village linkages. Differences exist across the length and breadth of Nigeria in the way and manner teachers are perceived by the general public. This scenario gives a definition of who becomes a teacher in each state of Nigeria, how they are respected and how they are financially rewarded. This affects their job performance in teaching and learning, teachers’ effectiveness in bringing out the best from their pupils or students in terms of their learning outcome. This paper centers its discussion on perspectives of globalization on teacher education in Nigeria: Imperative to national security.
