Is Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives (0457) a good fit for high school students in Grades 9-12?
Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives (0457) is a good fit for students in grades 9-12 who are interested in global issues from many perspectives and the reliability of sources. CIT offers online or in-person lessons in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, in one-to-one or small-group formats. Students make an individual research report and a team project outcome with a written reflection.
Students first practice looking at one issue from personal, local, and global perspectives and judging whether the evidence behind each claim can be trusted. They then research a global issue of their own choosing for an individual report that compares perspectives and proposes action, and work with a team to carry out a solution to a shared problem and reflect on the process. The last unit practices written-exam questions that ask students to analyze arguments in unfamiliar sources. The student sets their own question, then designs and tests a feature, model, interface, or solution of their own. In an application or interview, the student separates the material they drew on from their own decisions, results, failed attempts, revisions, and limits.
