Abstract
This study sought to assess the efficacy of various strategies for improving global competence, including the incorporation of global perspectives into the curriculum, project-based learning centered on real-world problems, the creation of collaborative learning environments, the use of technology for global discussions, and the implementation of comprehensive teacher training programs across nations. This research used a data mining method with a qualitative analysis approach examined how the effectiveness of various programs in enhancing global competence. Data mining methods involving qualitative analysis focus on extracting meaningful patterns and insights from qualitative data. This approach emphasizes understanding the underlying themes and contexts within the data, utilizing techniques like thematic analysis, grounded theory, and content analysis. The results showed that the integration of global perspectives, PBL, collaborative learning environments, technology, and teacher training demonstrates a global commitment to improving student competencies, but their success is dependent on addressing localized challenges such as resources, cultural alignment, and infrastructure. Tailored solutions that balance global awareness with local contexts are essential for preparing students for an interconnected world.
