At the same time, the process of modernization of higher education in Ukraine has a somewhat one-sided focus on the global sphere and neglect</em><em>s</em><em> some local </em><em>features</em><em>, which has led to the emergence of problems.</em></p> <p><em>This </em><em>article</em><em> explores the connection between glocalization and teacher education from </em><em>methodological and</em><em> ethical perspective. We argue that global competence helps teachers and future generations to develop a multi-perspective </em><em>view</em><em> to accurately respond to current and future challenges and understand the world in its complexity.</em> <em>This mindset also enables them to make thoughtful ethical decisions based on well-considered global principles. In addition, we argue that glocalization begins at the structural level, and offer the example of Ukraine, which recently underwent a large-scale reform of its education system, including teacher education. However, the reform focused mainly on the global sphere and neglected some local features, leading to numerous problems and challenges.</em></p> <p><em>To better understand the idea of glocalization in teacher education from </em><em>the </em><em>ethical perspective, future </em><em>scientific researches</em> <em>can be focused</em> <em>on the study of the </em><em>international teacher education programs</em><em>, which</em><em> find a balance between national traditions and international developments in education, so different systems can learn </em><em>and enrich </em><em>each other. Of course, the article does not </em><em>cover</em><em> all theoretical aspects of the considered problem and provides further scientific discussions about glocalization in teacher education.</em></p&gt;}, number={32}, journal={Pedagogical Discourse}, author={Bacher, Sabrina Viktoria and Binytska, Kateryna and Kraler, Christian}, year={2022}, month={May}, pages={66-74} }
