Changing Landscapes and Shifting Perspectives in a Glocalised Learning Environment

People's enamoured preoccupation with "change" is as old as civilisation itself. Making changes for a multitude of various reasons has been an on-going process for centuries. This paper explores changing landscapes and shifting perspectives in a glocalised learning environment. It looks at how societal changes, brought about predominantly by the inescapable forces of globalisation and its yield, have inspired shifting didactic perspectives and related transformations across societal, and by extension, teaching and learning landscapes. A literature-based approached, which is a qualitative technique, is the methodology chosen for the paper. A demerit of this approach is its dependence on other published work. The reliance here is not total because personal experiences are used as supporting evidence for the discussion. An analysis of the literature reviewed reveals that changes in a globalised world are unavoidable. The paper therefore asserts that the changes made should focus on benefitting entire societies because of the implications there are for sustainable education, sustainability and national development.
