Özet:

The paper outlines the dimensions of globalization, and explores the implications in practice through the example of transnational education, an important new trend in the globalization of education. Key issues discussed are: The role of the state; the impact on the local system; assuring quality and standards; protecting the rights of students; and fostering the quality of internationalization, especially in its non-commercial aspects. The discussion is illustrated with examples of activities, regulations and procedures from Southeast Asia and Australia, and quality assurance instruments devised by supranational organisations including UNESCO and the OECD. The paper concludes that educationists have a responsibility to identify the key issues for education in new trends, and to formulate methods for maximising the benefits of globalization while minimizing its potential negative impacts.
