Intergenerational Transmission of Global Competence: Evidence From PISA 2018

OECD’s PISA 2018 large-scale assessment also covered global competence among students and their parents. This study aimed to study intergenerational competence of three themes of global competence from parents to their children. Using PISA 2018 data, 34,088 parent‐child pairs in seven different OECD countries were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that parents’ competence on a particular theme of global competence significantly predicted their children’s level of global competence on that theme. The findings could be utilized to enhance the cooperation between schools, teachers, and parents while enhancing students’ global competence.
