Abstract

Today’s world abounds in a lot of changes and complications. Information dissemination and globalization are among those
variations which bring with them changes in the nature of the market, explosion of science, the need for re-learning, life-time
learning, the limitations of available resources, the increasing demands for flexible learning opportunities, the creation of novel
borders of understanding and the exchange of cultures. The key role of education and its focus on culture as the main paradigm of
countries’ stability is what has greatly influenced the educational centers. The teaching planning authorities and curriculum
designers of the world are looking for new methods by which they can transfer and hand down the old system as the central, most
dominant and the most profound culture to the next generation. Interactive learning, multimedia interactions, creative learning
and learning based on global projects and critical thinking are among modern changes in the area of education. It is therefore
obvious that new approaches require new methods. Hardware, software, web facilities, emails, worldwide data bases, visual and
auditory conferences are the hallmark signs of technological hegemony in the area of teaching and education. Various models are
presented along with the changes in educational methodology including the theory of life cycle, dynamic systems, global
cooperation, the Ripples model; web based cooperative learning, the theory of dissemination process, the theory of S curve, and
the theory of acceptance component analysis. The present study aims to investigate the question whether or not the current
educational settings are influenced by the changes in the learner, learning, learning process, learning atmosphere, teacher and
learning analysis as new concepts and seeks to find the essential structures on which teaching can be changed in the globalization
era by introducing an integrative model based on a technological orientation.

The question brought are the consequence of social , economical and political changes and circulation information
and globalization. Nowadays the face of the world has been drastically changed due to the globalization and the new
guide lines have been offered to the mankind .The society now is experiencing an accelerating period regarding
social and cultural categories and the focal point for this acceleration is the coincidence of tome and mingling of
structural and meaningful systems in national and transformable can be .These part of the society that are more
compatible and transformable can be subjected to the changes structurally.
So the training institution is amongst parts, which due to its internal essence and the external relations has been
influenced by the hastening changes. The factors like ; the expansion of poverty, illiteracy , contagious diseases
,endangering the natural environment ,instability of values among generation ,information technologies and
communications, continuous training ,global peace, humanism , expansion of scientific society etc…. are the
challenges that all the worlds instructional systems encounter.(Drucher,1997)
The cultural dimensions of globalization have caused the instructional system to propagate the inner connections
so as to maintain its identity, language, rituals and customs. Any failure or shortcoming in this regard cause
irreversible impairments on national cultures of the countries, therefore considering the new outlooks pertaining
national and international needs and demands play a substantial role in educational systems.
In the glance, the transformation of instructional systems based on globalization can be summarized as follows:

Characteristics Old educational pattern New pattern due to globalization

Guide line Scheduled Job creating
Structure Hierarchy Network
system Solid Flexible
Leadership Dogmatic Inspiring
Employees Title- Grade Scholar
Common value Becoming more similar Meaningful difference
Method Remedy Transformative
Skill Rivalry Creativity
Focal of attention System/institution Institution /individual
Origin of power Stability change

Figure 1: Transformation of instructional systems

Globalization of training is the process that gas drastically revolutionized the assessments, policies and activities
of the trainees (Davis,2009) .Globalization of values , relations and science influential property (Chinnammai,2005)
Instructional change based on web and video conference online connections (Becker,2000).Professional and
technical education (Harly,2001) and helping for the betterment of training and challenges in standardization
(burnett,1994 and Resenberg,2001))are amongst the consequence of globalization training such challenges need
adaptability of training contents with the national and international demands. Such as the expansion of information
and communication technology, propagation and expansion of remote training program, informal training, offering
the new methods in education and citizenship training contents. This can only be achieved through educational
programs and the models containing the modern training and technological hegemony .According to the idea of
(O’connor, 2010) the modern educational technologies are the processes whereby the teaching or leaning procedures
are accommodated. Using this tool provides ground for either teaching or learning.
The digitalized technology has facilitated the means to substitute the hose oriented method with the school
method of training. Schools are not able to meet the needs of developing societies of 21st century without using the
modern instructional technology (Carnoy, 1998).As a (Rosenfeld, 2010) quotes; instructional technologies in
globalization era are the trends that enhance the self skills. Communicating with others, vast usage of resources,
transferring of knowledge to the new opportunities and seeking the new approaches for self learning, are amongst
the advantages of instructional technologies of the new era. (Kaya, 2010, Debey & Barriere, 2010))the modern life
is mingled with technology .Modern technologies and multi media provide the possibility of developments in ;
language skills ,history, literature and biological knowledge for the student(Adowa,2005and Shavainina,2001)
meanwhile ,using theses tools facilitate the monitoring and the student (Carnoy,1998).

Along with the application of the modern technology concerning the global education, the following result can
be obtained:1- converting the learning environment to an intelligible training environment.2- network training 3-
partnership atmosphere 4- admitting of a creative knowledge5- responsibility in creating a compatible training
atmosphere.6- environmental enrichment for all the trainees using the experiences and the experiences and
information.7- flexibility ,diversity and creativity.8- propagation of inner and outer organizational links.9-
committed in efficient dialogs10- concentrated in research and problem investigation 11- optimistic towards the
contradictions and obscurities12- cheerful and trustful13- reducer of expenses14- self training
Concerning the usage of new technologies in educational system ,theoretic training and diverse patterns have so
far been utilized .pattern are as follows :Alive system theory, analytic theory of accepting elements, web interactive
learning network, propagation process theory ,the S curve theory ,the comprehensive partnership theory
(Kearsley,2000). The interactive and exhibition models, (Huffaker, 2003) are among distinguished models in
application of instructional technologies.((A-Alive system theory (Liber, 1997) B- Analytic theory of accepting
elements (Farquhar and Surry, 1994) C- web interactive learning network: (Reeves,1997) D- propagation process
theory: ( Rogers,1995) E- The S curve theory (Rogers, 1995) F- The comprehensive partnership theory (Kearsley,
1999). G- The exhibition model (Huffaker, 2003) H- The interactive model (Huffaker, 2003))
In almost all of the models, in learning environments based on technology there is a possibility of using software
to elevate the self organizing, independence and responsibility skills. In such process, the trainees are fully engaged
to know the efficient, creative, meaningful and genuine methods of learning via text, sound and picture in the form
of a story, film and text. The most common point among all of theses applicable methods is that in an educational
environment based on technology there are three necessary elements. Student – learning environment, professional
trainer, system management through web. The important point is that the training supportive items ( instructional
technology ) based on a model or theory must be adopted according to the objectives of the lesson (Rosenfeld,2010)
in such a case there is a step forward from a script language to a living language, from idea based on machine to
ecological ideas an from solid structures to a learning environment(Toroghi,2005)

2.Method and model of research:

In this article the researcher has studied a bout the connections between training technologies and globalization to
offer a combined model using the assessments of text and theoretical basics. The existing theoretical basics and
literature are suggestive of using varieties of models in the area of new technological training , commensurate with
the needs of third millennium. In this glance through article , there is a possibility of studying the literature to
present a combined model suitable with the current demands .This combined model has three basic step; a-
philosophy and objective b- theoretical basics c- necessary infrastructures.

Philosophy and objective

3.Conclusion

Deviation of organizations as dynamic organizations toward the modern systems and the necessity of maintaining
them in today’s world require storing , quick and extensive application of information .Therefore transforming from
current trainings to informal training ,using the new technological outcomes has become possible .Meanwhile ,being
responsible to the swift changes and competition has caused more changes in to the current theories .This means

that self learning substitutes the so public partnership in science ,along with motivations have finally result in
creation technological organizations. Every healthy organization seeks to create science and use it. Educational
organizations due to the interaction with their environment acquire information and change them to science, so they
mingle them with their experiences, so as to provide basic for their actions .Dynamic foundations like educational
organizations are not able to respond to their growing demands without utilizing the modern instructional
technologies .Application of modern technologies, require using the current models as well. Having said that and
concerning the research literature, implementing the proposed model needs a technological triangle; organizational
culture, skilfulness and enhancement of employees and finally technological infrastructures constitute the three sides
of this strategic triangle. In fact preparing the technological infrastructures along with humanistic and cultural
grounds provides successful means of mingling the instructional training in the globalization era.
