Abstract
The paper investigates the integration of global component in the curriculum of
Associate Degree of Education (ADE) In-Service Program and looks into its
contribution in preparing globally competent teachers. The overall strategy for the study
is based on quantitative research paradigm. Curriculum of ADE (In-service) developed
by Higher Education Commission was chosen for the study. The major global themes
were categorized and analyzed through quantitative content analysis. From the
evaluation of ADE, it was derived that the curriculum is competent and offers global
mindedness and global competency. It offers practical approach with theoretical
integration in few of the courses. All the compulsory, professional and foundation
courses are global, except few, which are local as well as global in nature. Most of the
subjects are enriched with diverse array of global themes; however, concepts of global
issues are not integrated in most of the subjects. The study recommends inclusion of
global issues in the curriculum for better comprehension and implementation of
practical solutions in their realistic lives. Teaching approaches should be revised for few
identified courses. It is also suggested to initiate teacher training (ADE) at more
educational institutions in Sindh to meet the required demand of educational institutions.
