Culture and Organizational Leadership

Invite participants to share a brief story of online interaction they've had with
someone from a different country or culture. Encourage them to reflect on what
made the interaction positive or negative, how it expanded their understanding of
global perspectives, and what they learned in that encounter.

2. Brief Introductory lecture on the definitions of essential terms needed for


the course.

Lesson Content

Basic Concepts to be defined:

1. Personal Responsibility

Personal responsibility is a skill you can build through self-awareness. By


having a sense of personal responsibility, you can reflect on the outcomes of your
work and develop a strategy to avoid making future mistakes. Additionally, taking
v
personal responsibility gives you an opportunity to build relationships that are based
on trust.

1.1. 8 Qualities of Someone Who Has a Sense of Personal Responsibility

1. Strong Communication Skills

Communication involves seeking feedback. If something hasn’t gone


according to plan, asking for feedback can give you the opportunity to learn from
your mistakes and ensure you don’t repeat them.

If you feel that you were unsuccessful at a task, reflect on what you could have done
differently to create a better outcome and communicate with others who can also
provide you with insight. When you communicate with people about your mistakes.

2. Ability to Create Boundaries

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

It is important to not over-commit yourself when you’re aiming to gain a


sense of personal responsibility. If you take on too much, you’ll eventually drop the
ball on something and let someone down.

3. Humility

In order to have a sense of humility, you have to be aware of your strengths


and weaknesses and have the self-control to only take on as much as you can handle.
After all, a large part of being responsible involves following through any time you
make a commitment.

4. Ability to control Impulses

It’s difficult to accept your own fault in creating your life’s negative
outcomes, however, it’s easy to make poor decisions when you’re presented with a
last-minute choice.

5. Courage
v
It can be scary to accept your failures, but creating a sense of internal
dishonesty can lead to irritation. However, if you are able to build the courage that
you need to accept your failures, you will be demonstrating personal responsibility.

6. Persistence

Regardless of the struggles that you face, you must continue moving forward
toward having a sense of personal responsibility. Even if making a small error feels
like a giant f ailure, you have to recognize the opportunity for personal growth and
development.

7. Be Authentic Self

When you have personal responsibility, you don’t react to the things around
you; you simply act. Your actions come from your true self, as you are self-directed,
self-motivated, self-disciplined, and you know right from wrong.

8. Be Organized
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

If you have a sense of personal responsibility, you can keep your life
organized by using whatever avenue works best for you, whether that’s planners,
calendars, apps, or something else. You stay organized so you can keep yourself on
track and on top of your goals and responsibilities.

Personal accountability is a character trait that we often admire in others. We


like being around people who don’t make excuses, are able to take
responsibility for their actions, and not blame others for their mistakes.

2. Global Citizenship

Global citizenship is the awareness, comprehension, and active engagement


of a person in addressing global issues and advancing principles like social justice,
sustainability, and human rights on a global scale (Schattle, 2008). It entails
accepting responsibility for your part in creating a more just and sustainable world
as well as acknowledging the interconnection of all people and nations.
v
Sensitivity and appreciation for variety is emphasized by global
citizenship. It promotes a more diverse and peaceful global community by enticing
people to appreciate and embrace many cultures, customs, and viewpoints. This
entails appreciating cultural diversity and encouraging intercultural

Responsibility for sustainable development and environmental


stewardship are components of global citizenship. Through advocacy, adopting a
sustainable lifestyle, and supporting programs that advance environmental
sustainability, people are urged to take action to address urgent global concerns
including climate change, poverty, and inequality (Stevenson & Kuenzi, 2018).

Promoting social justice and human rights on a global level is a


requirement of global citizenship. This includes speaking out against injustice,
discrimination, and human rights violations everywhere they occur. Regardless of
their nationality or history, global citizens strive to advance fairness, equity, and
justice for all people (Schattle, 2005).
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

To address global concerns, global citizens work together across national


boundaries. In order to develop solutions to difficult global challenges, they
collaborate with organizations, governments, and people from many nations (Bourn,
2015).

These key points illustrate the concept of global citizenship, its importance,
and the role it plays in addressing global challenges and promoting a more inclusive
and sustainable world.

3. Digital Citizenship

Digital citizenship can be defined as "the responsible and ethical use of technology
and digital resources in the context of society, encompassing the skills, knowledge,
and behaviors required to engage in safe, respectful, and productive online
activities" (Ribble, 2015, as cited in Ribble & Bailey, 2021).

Digital citizenship refers to the responsible use of technology by anyone who uses
computers, the Internet, and digital devices to engage with society on any level.
v
(Chris Zook, 2023)

As the rate of technological advancement continues to increase, the world as


a whole is becoming more dependent on the Internet for day-to-day activities. That
makes this a crucial topic to teach today’s students.

Good digital citizenship for students engages them and shows them how to
connect with one another, empathize with each other, and create lasting relationships
through digital tools.

Bad digital citizenship, on the other hand, entails cyberbullying,


irresponsible social media usage, and a general lack of knowledge about how to
safely use the Internet.

Digital citizenship is indeed an important concept in the context of technology


integration in education and beyond. It emphasizes not only the technical skills

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

needed to navigate the digital world but also the ethical and responsible use of
technology.

In higher education, teaching digital citizenship can help students become


more mindful and responsible users of technology, which is increasingly important
in a digitally connected world. It includes teaching students about topics such as
online etiquette, privacy, cybersecurity, digital literacy, and the potential
consequences of their online actions.

3.1. Why is it important?

The digital world is becoming increasingly interconnected, and our actions


online have a real impact on the world around us. The interconnectedness of the
digital world is evident from the widespread use of the internet and social media
platforms. According to a report by Statista, as of 2021, there were 4.9 billion active
internet users globally, representing over 60% of the world's population (Statista,
"Number of internet users worldwide 2005-2021"). This interconnectedness means
that our actions online can reach va global audience.

Digital citizenship is essential for ensuring that we use technology


responsibly and ethically. Digital citizenship refers to the responsible and ethical use
of technology. It involves being mindful of how one interacts with others online,
respecting the rights and privacy of individuals, and contributing positively to digital
communities. The concept of digital citizenship has been endorsed by organizations
such as the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), which
provides standards for digital citizenship in education (ISTE, "ISTE Standards for
Students").

3.2. 9 Elements of Digital Citizenship Students Need to Know (cyperlearning.com)

1. Digital access

The ability to have access to technology and the internet. Although we live in
a digital era, not everyone has access to technology. As teachers, we should be aware
of this digital divide. Not all students can afford a computer, a smartphone and
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

Internet access. That’s why educators need to provide suitable alternatives for each
student's needs.

2. Digital commerce

The ability to use technology to buy and sell goods and services. Digital
commerce highlights the necessity to tackle safety issues related to using money in
the digital world. Technology is also used in the classroom to teach students about
the various career paths that they could choose in the future. Understanding how e-
commerce works is a must, both as consumers and as potential entrepreneurs.

3. Digital communication

The ability to use technology to communicate with others. Online


communication has become so common that students forget they are doing so in a
virtual space, where miscommunication happens often. The Internet has given a
voice to anyone who needs it. In turn, this requires empathy and appropriate
reactions from its users.
v
4. Digital literacy

The ability to understand and use technology effectively. Digital literacy also
includes the ability to differentiate between real and fake content, which can have a
negative impact on the lives of your students. They need to learn which content is
good for them and what they should avoid in order to lead a balanced life.

5. Digital etiquette

The ability to behave appropriately online. We should teach students to


become “digitally fluent”. Digital etiquette shapes their online behavior to respond
positively to online content. In this way, their online attitude is reflected in the real
world and vice versa.

6. Digital law

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

The laws that govern our use of technology. The online environment has
room for both positive and negative interactions. Digital law deals with legal rights
and restrictions governing technology usage. To prevent any kind of online crime,
no matter how serious, students as digital citizens need to know the law and how it
applies to them in particular.

7. Digital rights and responsibilities

The rights and responsibilities that we have as digital citizens. The online
world has its regulations and a user has rights and responsibilities. The Internet can
also be used for harmful purposes and anyone needs protection against
cyberbullying, for instance. Schools should approach this subject in classrooms,
hold students accountable for their actions and also report any misconduct in the
virtual environment.

8. Digital health and wellness

The ability to use technology in a way that is healthy and safe. Students
v
should be taught to protect themselves and others from potential harm and ask for
help if they need it. Making use of online resources is a plus, but everyone should be
aware of the dangers as well.

9. Environmental impact

The impact that our use of technology has on the environment. Security in
the online world is important. When using devices at school or at home, students
should be aware of potential malware attacks. Teachers should explain how to
prevent them from happening and how to protect their devices as much as possible.

3.3. Digital Citizenship in a Globalized World

As we navigate the digital landscape, it becomes imperative to recognize and


respect the cultural and ethical differences that exist, as these differences play a
significant role in shaping online interactions and experiences.

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

The digital world is globalized, and our actions online can have an impact on
people all over the world. One of the most compelling pieces of evidence supporting
the statement comes from the pervasive use of social media platforms. Social media,
such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, have billions of users worldwide. For
instance, as of 2021, Facebook had over 2.8 billion monthly active users (Facebook
Newsroom). This means that a single post or comment on a social media platform
can be seen by individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and belief systems.
What may be considered humorous or acceptable in one culture may be deeply
offensive in another.

We need to be aware of the cultural and ethical differences that exist in the
digital world. The digital world has also witnessed the rapid spread of
misinformation and fake news, often driven by cultural and ideological biases.
People may unknowingly share false information that aligns with their beliefs or
prejudices, without considering the broader impact it may have on society. The
spread of misinformation has real-world consequences, such as influencing political
elections or public health decisions.
v A study by Vosoughi et al. (2018) found that
false information spreads six times faster than true information on social media
platforms.

We need to be respectful of others and their cultures when we are using


technology. As the digital world transcends national borders, legal and regulatory
challenges emerge when dealing with issues like online hate speech, copyright
infringement, and data privacy. Different countries have varying laws and
regulations pertaining to these matters. This necessitates a nuanced understanding of
the legal and ethical landscape in different regions. Failure to comply with these
regulations can lead to legal consequences, as seen in cases where companies face
hefty fines for data breaches or violations of privacy laws (e.g., GDPR in the
European Union).

4. Altruistic Service

Altruistic- showing a disinterested and selfless concern for the well being of others;
unselfish

Service- the action of helping or doing work for someone

Altruistic service is described as “having a selfless concern for the well-


being of others.” The global digital citizens recognize that they share the world with
various individuals. These ideas apply not only to those we know, but also to people
we don’t know. These include seizing the chance to practice generosity and goodwill
for the benefit of others (Watanabe-Crockett, 2018).

4.1. Altruistic Service in the Context of Global Citizenship

Altruistic service plays a pivotal role in the developmental and practice of


global citizenship. It embodies the fundamental principles of empathy, compassion,
and social responsibility that support the concept of global citizenship.
v
Furthermore, altruistic service is a driving force behind the development of
global citizenship. It inspires people to think beyond their respective areas and
participate in actions that benefit humanity on a global scale. Individuals develop a
better grasp of the world’s intricacies and issues by performing acts of service,
which fosters a sense of interconnectedness (Schattle, 2008).

It is inextricably tied to the concept of global citizenship since it is


characterized by altruistic service aimed at assisting others. Individuals are not only
members of their local communities, but also of a large global community, with
shared responsibility for addressing global concerns (Andreotti, 2011). Altruistic
service helps to achieve this concept by cultivating a sense of connectivity and
social responsibility beyond national borders.

4.2. Importance of Altruistic Service

According to Watanabe-Crockett (2018), the practice of altruistic service


allows individuals/groups to make meaningful connections to the actual world, for
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

example, creating fundraising campaigns and other charitable acts, volunteer abroad
using organizations like Projects Abroad or ISV, work in the community with local
businesses to gain work experience and contribute to the well-being of community
business leaders. It makes it possible to reach out to others and do things that can
make people’s everyday lives better or easier. This fosters a sense of belonging and
well-being for all.

4.3. The Role of Altruistic Service in Global Citizenship

1. Promoting Empathy and Cross-Cultural Understanding

Altruistic service frequently entails interacting with people from various


cultural backgrounds. These contacts foster empathy and cross-cultural
understanding, as well as the dismantling of stereotypes and prejudices can hinder
global cooperation (Reysen & Katzarska-Miller, 2013).

2. Addressing Global Challenges

Many of the world’s mostv critical issues, such as poverty, climate change,
and pandemics are global in nature and require collaborative solutions. Altruistic
service helps to address these issues by mobilizing global resources and expertise
(Schattle, 2017).

3. Fostering Active Participation

Altruistic service encourages people to actively participate in making the


world a better place. It empowers people to take ownership of global challenges and
advocate for change, in line with global citizenship concepts (Kurth & Lennon,
2011).

5. Environmental Stewardship

According to Chapin et al., (2010) Environmental Stewardship means using


the environment responsibly and preserving it through sustainable practices to
improve ecosystem resilience and human well-being.

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario

Culture and Organizational Leadership

In addition, Dynamic Earth Learning says that environmental stewardship is


a diverse acts aimed at preserving, defending, and establishing a more sustainable
environment. Being accountable and taking the best possible care of the
environment are key. Stewardship initiatives are driven by stewards.

5.1. Types of environmental stewards

Environmental stewards can conduct stewardship actions as a group, or as


individuals. There are three main types of environmental stewards:

Benefactors

Stewardship movements receive financial support from donors or


benefactors. The funds can be utilized to purchase the tools required to meet the
established environmental goals. Donors that support environmental stewardship
typically belong to a network of sizable organizations. They may organize events
and assist in fund-raising for stewardship movements.

Doers v
These are individuals that offer their time to help with stewardship activities.
They frequently engage in environmental conservation initiatives and go by the
name of “doers.” When it comes to environmental stewardship, almost anybody can
start acting. Doers can participate in environmental improvement projects like
planting trees and picking up trash.

Practitioners

Practitioners and doers share certain similarities. The fact that they
participate in stewardship movements’ daily operations is the only distinction. They
collaborate with other stewards and environmental organizations to make sure
everything goes as planned.

5.2. Objectives of environmental stewardship

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

Stewardship movements have one common goal—to enhance environmental


resilience. The group’s actions can address a wide range of issues affecting the
environment. This can be achieved through:

Restoration of Degraded Ecosystem

Over time, ecosystems may lose some of their functionalities. Climate


change, over exploitation, and pollution are the main causes of this. By giving plants
and animals the circumstances they need to recuperate, stewards can assist in the
restoration of damaged ecosystems. Projects to restore ecosystems are lengthy and
may call for professional assistance.

Environmental Conservation

The control of the environment through the avoidance of pollution and other
harmful elements is known as environmental conservation. Recycling, planting
trees, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are all ways that stewards may protect
the environment. They can also spread awareness of the value of environmental
v
protection among the general people.

Protection of Endangered Species

When there are fewer than 2,500 mature members of a species, it is said to
be endangered. By protecting their natural habitats, environmental stewards defend
threatened and endangered species. If their habitat cannot support their life, both
plants and animals risk going extinct.

Improving Resource Sustainability

Sustainability of resources is crucial for the environment. It guarantees


responsible use of all resources. This will prevent the overexploitation of the
environment’s natural resources. The resources will also be renewed organically.

Creating Awareness

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

It is important to educate the general public about the everyday stewardship


practices that can benefit the environment. Stewards frequently plan neighborhood
gatherings where people can participate in a variety of environmental activities.
Through social media sites, they can also disseminate helpful information about the
environment.

5.3. How to become an environmental steward

Recycling

Pollution can be significantly reduced by recycling waste materials. Plastics,


paper, cans, and other items can all be recycled. Recycling bins are a common city
amenity that aid with garbage management.Recycled materials are less likely to
contaminate the soil, lakes, and oceans.

Change mode of transportation

Petrol, a fossil fuel, powers automobiles. Burning fossil fuels puts


greenhouse gases into the atmosphere,
v such as carbon dioxide. By taking an
alternate route, you can stop this as a steward. Public transportation, electric
mopeds, and bicycles are all options. Short distances can be traveled by foot as it is
the most efficient mode of transportation.

Choose reusable bottles

Soil and water resources can get contaminated by plastic bottles. The
majority of these bottles never get recycled and frequently wind up in the ocean.
Decomposition of plastic bottles might take hundreds of years. They may also alter
the chemical makeup of the soil and interfere with the operations of aquatic
ecosystems.

Practice zero waste challenge

Reducing home garbage output is the main goal of the zero-waste challenge.
Natural resources are preserved as a result, and potential overexploitation is avoided.

PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19
DR. AC BANUELOS/BatStateU-Rosario
The Teacher and the Community, School
Culture and Organizational Leadership

Environmental organizations from all around the world exhort people to cut back on
environmental trash.

Use energy-efficient product

Fossil fuels are burned in power plants to create electricity. Hazardous gases
are released into the atmosphere as a result of this procedure. By lowering the
amount of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere, you may reduce air pollution
by using energy-efficient equipment.

Go for locally-produced food

Utilizing food that is grown nearby can cut carbon emissions. Long-distance
food shipping can increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Most
people who practice environmental stewardship buy their food from local farmers
since it helps to protect the environment.

5.4. The importance of environmental stewardship


v
Environmental stewards play a critical role in ensuring the environment is well
protected. Steward actions preserve the environment for future generations.

Creates a Healthy Environment

An ecosystem that allows for the peaceful coexistence of several species is one that
is healthy. All elements of the environment shall be safeguarded through
environmental stewardship. In their natural habitats, plants and animals will be able
to develop and flourish as a result. By educating the public, stewardship initiatives
can also aid in the reduction of pollution
