Young People’s Experiences of Global Learning
An Ipsos MORI Research Study on behalf of DEA
On behalf of DEA, Ipsos MORI surveyed 1,955 secondary school pupils from across England aged between 11 and 16.
In order to find out about pupils’ global learning in schools, we developed the following four questions as indicators. Pupils were asked, “This year (since September 2007) have you done any of the following at school?
- Discussed news stories from around the world
- Thought about news stories from around the world from different points of view
- Discussed what people can do to make the world a better place
- Discussed problems from around the world even when no one has all the answers”
They were also asked how important, if at all, they think it is that pupils experience global learning in schools. We also asked young people about their attitudes to the world.
