8. Defining Global Competence
Hunter (2004) used a Delphi
technique with an expert panel
of 18 participants.
• 7 Transnational Corporate
Human Resource Managers
• 7 International Educators
• 4 Others.

9. Defining Global Competence
All participants met at least 3
of the following 6 criteria:
1. Earned a national/international reputation for global
competence/internationalization initiatives.
2. Had researched/published on
GC/Internationalization.
3. Had at least a Baccalaureate Degree or its equivalent
4. Currently/Formerly in HR (Internationally) or IHE
5. Currently/Formerly an Educational Official or
Placement Officer for a study abroad organization
6. Lives or works/Had lived or worked outside of
his/her home country.

10. Defining Global Competence
– Round One: Participants were sent a list of
currently published definitions of global
competence and asked to write their own
using/ignoring the currently published definitions
based on their own experience.
– Round Two: The most commonly used terms and
concepts from Round One were used to create a
sentence definition of GC. Participants were asked
to comment and make changes and resubmit the
definition.
– Round Three: A final definition was drafted and
participants were asked via a Likert scale the
extent to which they agreed with the definition.
There was greater than 80% agreement.
– Followed up with a survey to identify knowledge,
skills, attitudes, and experiences needed to become
globally competent.

11. Defining Global Competence

“Having an open mind
while actively seeking
to
understand cultural

28. Elements of Design
The following three notions of design allow us to
create patterns of meaning from the multi-literacies
around us.
Available designs
Available designs include the grammars of
language, various semiotic systems, and film,
photography and gesture, which we draw
from as creators of design.
Design
Here we use the existing designs to create
the new.

32. New Literacies-4 Resource Model
1. Break the code of texts
Recognizing and using features such as
alphabet, sounds, spelling, conventions and
patterns of the text.
2. Participate in the meanings of text
Understanding and composing meaningful
written, visual and spoken texts from within
particular cultures, institutions, families,
communities, nation-states etc. Drawing on
existing schemas.
(Luke & Freebody 1999)

33. New Literacies-4 Resource Model
3. Use texts functionally
Knowing about and acting on the different cultural and
social functions that various texts perform both inside
and outside of school. Knowing that these function
shapes the ways texts are constructed, their tone, their
degree of formality and their sequence of components.
Using texts for purpose.
4. Critically analyze and transform texts
Understanding and acting on the knowledge that texts
are not neutral. Texts represent particular views, silence
others, influence people’s ideas. Text designs &
discourses can be critiqued and redesigned in novel and
hybrid ways.
(Luke & Freebody 1999)
