Connecting Internationalism to the Learner Profile? by Michael Picken https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv What builds our Global Mindset? en-us 2017-08-28 16:11:25 UTC 2026-02-05 09:51:57 UTC hello@padlet.com The learner profile relates to the article´s signs of an international open minded person in many ways. Firstly, being able to understand different cultures and appreciate them makes up the open-mindedness of a learner. In the other hand, having empathy and having self-awareness reflects in the caring characteristic of the learner profile. Finally, being able to understand global issues and deepening knowledge relates to being an inquirer. danielasalazar1989 https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv/wish/183381280 Daniela]]> 2017-08-29 13:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv/wish/183381280 https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv/wish/183381483 The signs of an internationally minded person shown in the article overlap with the IB Learner profile. Both mention being knowledgable, principled, reflective, caring and open-minded. Additionally, being an inquirer, a thinker and a risk-taker is closely related to the multiculturalism and multilingualism that is mentioned in the article and that lead to the understanding, respect and embrace of different cultures and diversity in general.  Erika.]]> 2017-08-29 13:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv/wish/183381483 Trobo moltes connexions entre l'article i l'"IB learner profile", entre d'altres: l'exaltació de la multiculturalitat i el multilingüisme, de l'empatia i la curiositat, però sobretot el desenvolupar l'habilitat de conèixer-se un mateix i, alhora, valorar i ser capaç de treballar amb companys de gran varietat de bagatges i cultures. A més, en els dos contextes és de vital importàcia el respecte i valoració de les diferències i similituts culturals, la solidaritat (no només pel que respecte a les diferències econòmiques) i el coneixement profund de les situacions que es donen arreu del món.

Otro aspecto que cabe destacar es cómo en el artículo  se le da énfasis a la manera cómo se da verdadero significado cuando entiendes, aceptas y vives la diferencia cultural; aspectos directamente ligados al atributo de  la solidaridad .  En la medida en que valoremos y respetemos la diferencia se logrará hacer del ser humano alguien que de verdad tolere y respete todo patrón que no corresponde a lo que la generalidad ha asumido.

De ahí que el aspecto cultural esté totalmente ligado al perfil PYP ya que al tenerlo en cuenta se permea la aceptación, la tolerancia, el arraigo a las raíces propias que nos hacen ser únicos , lo que fortalece significativamente la identidad propia de cada ser y cada ciudadano del mundo.   Por eso no se debe dejar de lado el desarrollo del lenguaje y la comunicación directa con los estudiantes, en relación con aspectos de internacionalismo y culturas propias y ajenas.  Estas reflexiones son las que enriquecen los procesos sociales y  pedagógicos que vivimos en el día a día.

This understanding of others promotes acceptance, solidarity, empathy and other social constructs that create a community of collaboration and multiculturalism. The article states ¨international mindedness means understanding, respecting and valuing different cultures, embracing diversity and knowing that different perspectives have a great deal to offer¨. This statement among others in the article, relate directly to the IB learner profile because both promote respect, inquiry, while being caring, open- minded and reflective, which are some of the basic attributes of international mindednes .

El articulo del cual hacemos referencia tiene total pertinencia y conexión con el perfil del IB debido a que en él como en el PYP se promueve el pensamiento internacionalista y las características que deberíamos tener y potencializar en nuestros estudiantes orientado hacia el pensamiento crítico, de cambio social y de aceptación en la diferencia. La interculturalidad y la globalización gestan el ambiente cultural óptimo para que los procesos sean permeados y nutridos en la interacción con otros, la construcción del conocimiento por ende se está dando desde ésos ambientes llenos de la pluriculturalidad a la cual nos debemos adaptar y adoptar para seguir avanzando de la mano de las nuevas condiciones que cada vez son más cambiantes, por ello me atrevo a decir que la adaptabilidad también es un atributo importante.

Esa conexión enriquece sí o sí el perfil no sólo del estudiante de PYP sino del profesor que guía los conocimientos y genera una zona de contacto en cada clase.
Este espacio pone en evidencia cada una de las características del perfil del estudiante puesto que cada momento es una muestra de solidaridad, de compartir experiencias culturales y tradicionales; de tolerancia y respeto hacia creencias y diversas opiniones.
Es fundamental considerar el salón de clase entonces como un mundo cuyas dinámicas interculturales son cada vez más fuertes y donde todos aportamos activamente.

I personally believe that we are connected to this idea (as an IB school with an international mindedness), but we could embrace different cultures even more through the arts.
Laura. ]]> 2017-08-30 13:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv/wish/183675747 I ask you please to seek for the seven signs of International mindedness (see them pasted after the quote), it is my understanding that the one of languages is not the strongest there, although in terms of the speech language there was a very powerful tool. The text I share was taken from a speech of Bolivia’s Prime Minister in a European Heads of State:Exposure of President Evo Morales before the meeting of Heads of State of the European Community (30/06/2013).With simple language that was broadcast in simultaneous translation in more than a hundred heads of state and dignitaries from the European Community, President Evo Morales managed to unsettle his audience when he said: "Here am I, Evo Morales, I came to find those who are celebrating the discovery.Here am I, a descendant of those who colonized America forty thousand years ago, I came to find those who found only five hundred years ago. Here, then, we are all. We know what we are, and it's enough.We will never have anything else.The European Customs brother asks me written paper visa to discover that I discovered.The European moneylender asks me to pay a debt contracted by Judas, who never authorized to sell.The European shyster brother tells me that all debts must be paid with interest even selling human beings and whole countries without their consent.I am gradually discovering. I also I can claim payments and I can also claim interest. It appears in the Archives of the Indies, paper on paper, receipt signature receipt and signature, only between 1503 and 1660 came to San Lucas de Barrameda 185 000 kilos of gold and 16 million kilos of silver from America.Looting?? Do not believe me! Because it would be to think that our Christian brothers broke their Seventh Commandment.Robbery?? God forbid that Europeans, like Cain, kill and deny the blood of your brother!Genocide?? That would give credit to slanderers like Bartolome de las Casas, who equated the discovery and destruction of the Indies, or extremists such as Arturo Uslar Pietri, which states that the outburst of capitalism and the current European civilization was due to the flood of precious metals!No! Those 185 thousand kilos of gold and 16 million kilos of silver must be considered as the first of many American friendly loans, for the development of Europe. The opposite would presume the existence of war crimes, which would mean not only demand the immediate return, but compensation for damages.I, Evo Morales, prefer to think of the least offensive of these hypotheses.As fabulous capital exports were only the beginning of a plan 'MARSHALLTESUMA "to ensure the reconstruction of the barbaric Europe, ruined by its deplorable wars against Muslim cults, creators of algebra, polygamy, the daily bath and other achievements superior civilization.So, to celebrate the fifth centenary of the Loan, we ask: European brothers have made a rational, responsible or at least productive of the funds so generously advanced by the International American Indian Fund? Unfortunately nothing.Strategically, they squandered in battle of Lepanto, in invincible armies in third reichs and other forms of mutual extermination, another destination to end occupied by the foreign troops from NATO, as in Panama, but without channel.Financially, have been unable, after a moratorium of 500 years, either paying the principal and interest, the independence from the net revenues, raw materials and cheap energy exports and supplies them throughout the Third World.This disgusting picture corroborates Milton Friedman whereby a subsidized economy can never work and compels us to claim for its own good, the payment of principal and interest that have so generously delayed all these centuries in charge.In saying this, we do not recommend to us from charging our European brothers the despicable and bloodthirsty rates of 20 and up to 30 percent interest, European brothers that they charge to Third World peoples. We only demand the return of the precious metals advanced, plus a modest fixed 10 percent, accumulated only during the last 300 years, with 200 years of grace.On this basis, and using the European formula of compound interest, inform our discoverers that we should, as a first payment of its debt, a mass of 185 thousand kilos of gold and 16 million silver, both figures raised to the power of 300.That is, a number for the expression of which, would require more than 300 figures, which exceeds the total weight of planet Earth.Very heavy are these piles of gold and silver. How much do you weigh, calculated in blood?Claiming that Europe, in half a millennium, failed to generate sufficient wealth to pay the modest interest, would be tantamount to admitting their absolute financial failure and / or assumptions insane irrationality of capitalism.Such metaphysical questions, of course, we do not concern to American Indians.But we demand the signing of a Letter of Intent to discipline debtors peoples of the Old World, and that requires them to fulfill their commitment by early privatization or restructuring of Europe, allowing them to give it to us whole, as the first historical debt payment" Source taken on August 30th, 2017: https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?12048-Evo-Morales-speech-to-the-European-Community-Heads-of-State-meeting#.WabsX5Kly00 SEVEN SIGNS: •knowledge, understanding and appreciation of different cultures • increased self-awareness• increased empathy •ability to collaborate with peers from different backgrounds *deepening knowledge and understanding of global issues •ability to see themselves as responsible, global citizens • language skills THE PROFILE ATTRIBUTES REFLECTED ON THE SPEECH I SEE:• Risk taken.• Knowledgeable.• Reflective.• Inquirer.• Principled.• Communicator.• Thinker.

Es nuestro deber también cultivar nuestra curiosidad y la de nuestros estudiantes para que el marco experiencial que tenemos sea cada vez más amplio. Y si queremos conectarnos de una forma verdaderamente significativa con quienes nos acompañan día a día en nuestra labor, debemos ser solidarios en la construcción de conocimiento.  

Camilo]]> 2017-08-30 20:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv/wish/183808917 En mi opinión si se desarrolla a cabalidad el perfil del estudiante IB, estamos formando una comunidad de ciudadanos con mentalidad internacional. Este tipo ideal de sociedad que celebra la diversidad y comprende que esto nos hace más ricos, nos permite comprender el mundo en el que vivimos con todas sus complejidades. https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv/wish/183809648 Catalina ]]> 2017-08-30 20:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv/wish/183809648 The learner profile relates to the article in every sense. We belong to a more global community and that implies that we form open-minded, principled, caring, reflective, etc. students who can understand and communicate, think and inquire about multiple issues related to a multicultural society. Students that can understand, and accept changes and different lifestyles. https://padlet.com/mpicken2/9hwjb59wa9bv/wish/184264094 Ma.

Being an international minded person requires you to accept difference and this is done by being open-minded, being a risk-taker and respecting others.
