Abstract

The globalisation of science, industry and commerce has resulted in the internationalisation of education. In this context, ‘a global citizen’, representing the Humboldtian educational model, has to have universal cognitive skills and cultural competences formed by an international/global education. However, Malaysia’s unique situation, as seen in the case of Penang Island, shows a multicultural education that effectively adapted to the global market. Most of the schools were transformed to national schools after Malaya’s independence from the United Kingdom, yet some retained their international nature. This article shows how national schools in Penang Island preserved their culture after independence, resulting in cultural pluralism (multiculturalism) in the educational system and, at the same time, maintained their global value for Economy 4.0. This multicultural and industry-oriented approach contrasts with the Humboldtian universalistic model, and yet contributes to the growth of science and a global economy. In this regard, it is argued that for the sustainable development of science, technology and society in Penang, the ‘epistemological pluralism’ with cross-disciplinary thinking in diverse cultural contexts should be promoted in educational and global policies.

经济4.0背景下的教育工业化与国际化:以槟城为例
科学、工业和商业的全球化导致了教育的国际化。在这种背景下,代表洪堡教育模式的“全球公民”必须具备国际/全球教育所形成的普遍认知技能和文化能力。然而,马来西亚的独特情况,如槟城岛的情况所示,显示了一种有效适应全球市场的多元文化教育。马来亚脱离英国独立后,大多数学校都改为国立学校,但也有一些保留了国际性质。本文展示了槟城岛的国立学校如何在独立后保留其文化,从而在教育系统中形成文化多元化(多元文化主义),同时保持其经济4.0的全球价值。这种多元文化和产业导向的方法与洪堡的普遍主义模式形成了鲜明对比,但也有助于科学和全球经济的发展。在这方面,有人认为,为了槟城科学、技术和社会的可持续发展,应在教育和全球政策中促进在不同文化背景下具有跨学科思维的“认识论多元主义”。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Research in International Education is an international, peer-reviewed journal in international education for schools, examiners and higher education institutions throughout the world. The Journal of Research in International Education seeks to advance the understanding and significance of international education. It sets out to undertake a rigorous consideration of the educational implications of the fundamental relationship between human unity and human diversity that ''education for international understanding'' requires. The JRIE encourages an approach to research in international education that will close the gap between the well established emergent theory and diverse practice throughout the world. In this context, international education is concerned with the promotion of education for international understanding and human rights, and may include peace education, global education and intercultural education. Authors may address, for example, the curriculum, institutional concerns, the history of education, policy and pedagogy at all levels.
