|a Purpose: The concept of globalization has become of primary importance in the contemporary world of higher education. Online technologies have developed rapidly resulting in changes in human interactions, behaviors, and relationships. Consequently, the emphasis of education has changed, as students will need the skills to co-exist cooperatively with new and emerging ideologies. Acculturation is the desirable end result of higher education in the area of globalization. The purpose of this study is to explicate the perception of the progress of acculturation through the lens of faculty in the Florida State and Community colleges. Method: A qualitative methodology was chosen for this study as it enabled the researcher to understand the research topic from the perspective of the local population it serves. This methodology is especially effective in obtaining culturally specific information about the values, opinions, behaviors, and social contexts of particular populations. In this study, the participation population consisted of education and humanities responders. Both departments would be associated with the acculturation process. Major Findings: The findings indicated that the majority of participants viewed their students as lacking in an understanding of cultural and religious diversity as related to globalization. The participants also indicated that although efforts were underway to teach globalization in many state and community colleges that it was not universally applied throughout their schools. All participants believed that education in the state and community colleges is the primary way to prepare students for a future in a globalized workforce. |
