Abstract

In this paper, the matter of how the process of globalization in regions influences the process of development of program design aimed at forming and improving multicultural competence is brought up. One way to comply with the demands is to define and develop new strategies that can make a teacher’s evaluation a successful process of improvement of multicultural competence. Better learning and teaching outcomes are to be reached – since the programs designed within the above-mentioned framework would correlate with the need of students and demands of modern education in a region, which basis lies in the matter of globalization. A literature analysis of available research was conducted. As a plan program design is not a linear process, it may be necessary to alter the content or sequencing to offer a possible mechanism to optimize the process of cooperation between the regions, to identify new factors and search for new practices to improve readiness to change (as a significant component of multicultural competence) and to offer case-study as one of the possible methods to better the process of multicultural competence development. We consider the proposed strategies as the main results of the research.
