Education in an international context: Students with an international dimension in their lives This paper defines and discusses what an international dimension in one’s life entails for a student. What are the educational implications for students with this kind of background and how does it tie in with the broader discussion of international education? The aim is to define the issues in light of scholarly work in the fields of multicultural education, critical pedagogy, globalization studies and international education. The intention is to give voice to a group that is diverse, yet shares a common competence that in reference to globalization is worth exploring, especially on the basis of recent changes in the national curriculum for compulsory schools in Iceland. Hanna Ragnarsdottir is associate professor, and Hildur Blondal is doctoral student, both at the Faculty of Pedagogy and Education, School of Education, University of Iceland.
