Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives (0457)

Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives gives learners the opportunity to think about significant global issues and to consider these from different perspectives. It develops a set of transferable skills in research, analysis, evaluation, communication, collaboration and reflection. It encourages learners to construct arguments, present views, work collaboratively, research, and reason and reflect on their place in a connected world. These transferable skills will support student learning across all of their studies.
Our approach in Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives encourages learners to be: confident, making independent judgements and justifying opinions based on reasoning and evidence, allowing them to present ideas on and solutions to issues of global interest responsible, directing their own learning by exploring diverse and varied sources to present suggestions and courses of action to members of their local community reflective, developing an empathetic understanding by analysing why others have certain attitudes and take the positions they do, while understanding that there is a range of perspectives on any given issue, and so developing their own perspective innovative, using critical thinking to propose sustainable solutions to global issues at global, national and local levels engaged, collaborating, sharing new ideas and reaching mutual understanding of possible courses of action, allowing new ideas to be explored in unfamiliar contexts.
