Abstract
Globalization has affected many facets of life, and learning and
education are no exception. An important task of teachers in both
primary and secondary schools is therefore to help students to
develop a global outlook. This has become an important educational
aim in both Hong Kong and Mainland China. This qualitative study
examines how future teachers in Hong Kong and Zhuhai perceive the
consequences of globalization in their respective local contexts. This
cultural approach to global understanding is based on the view that
social reality is a socially constructed reality in which the interaction
and interchange of cultural values and beliefs affect the formation of
values. In this paper we try to reconstruct the global views and values
of these student teachers. The commonalities and differences in the
effects of globalization on individual learning, on education, on the
local society and on the national culture of student teachers of the two
sites under consideration are critically assessed through informal and
non-structured interviews.
前言
在全球經濟一體化和互聯網不斷普及下,不同地區的人雖然越來越
看到全球化的急速發展。在楊尊偉、王紅(2004)的文章中,介紹了加

學生形成寬廣的國際視野,了解當今世界文化對本國的意義,及從小樹

怎樣看待全球化與教育?而內地師範生的觀點與香港的又有何異同呢?
此文將透過文獻分析及質性訪談,以半結構性的開放問題初步了解香港
與珠海兩地師範生對全球化所帶來的影響之理解。在整理了兩地師範生
的訪談資料後,筆者兩人從中抽取了師範生對全球化的概念、全球下對
個人學習、對教育、對當地社會及對傳統文化等各方面的看法。期望透
過比較和分析,勾劃出兩地師範看全球化有哪些相近或不同的想像。
師範生眼中的全球化
全球化是什麼呢?有學者指出全球化最好是理解成一種「想像
