Abstract

This research comes to measure the level of knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and values of educators on global competence. The quantitative methodology was followed and the questionnaire tool was selected. Random sampling technique was used, and the questionnaire was delivered through google forms. The sample consisted of 310 educators who taught in public and private Vocational Training Institutes in the region of Western Greece during 2021-2022. Research findings show that the average value for global knowledge is 3,69 (a lot), for understanding globalization 4,10 (a lot) and for international academic knowledge 3,91 (a lot). Regarding participants' answers for the Skills sub-factors, the average value for the use of tools is 4, 27 (a lot), for the cross-cultural communication 4,03 (a lot) and for the international academic knowledge 3,29 (enough). Regarding the factors of Attitude and values, the average value for intent to interact is 3, 95 (a lot), for open attitude 4,46 (a lot) and for the values 3,94 (a lot). In addition, the control of the Pearson correlation coefficient of the nine factors for global capability shows a statistically significant positive correlation between them. Finally, gender, additional studies, employment relationship and years of service seem to affect the results of the scale.
