Contemporary aspects of geographical education in Bulgaria in the context of globalisation

The topicality of the researched subject is related to the intensified process of globalization in the beginning of the 21st century, which affects all spheres of life. This not only affects the policies pursued in them, but also leads to the formation of new sustainable moral values. The educational sphere is one of those that directly reflects the occurring changes in social attitudes and transforms them in the form of educational goals. In this way, globalisation processes implicitly influence the present and future generations of all countries in the world. The object of the research is related to the process of globalisation and the changes it causes in the geographical education in Bulgaria. The aim of the present study is related to the identification of the main directions of the process of globalisation of education and their impact on the contemporary geographical education in Bulgaria. In order to realise the aim, the methods of comparative analysis and content analysis are applied. To clarify the theoretical premises of globalisation of education we refer to the studies of F. Cornali, S. Tirocchi, M. Astiz, A. Wisemand, D. Baker; O. Stacey, G. De Lazzari, H. Grayson, H. Griffin, E. Jones, A. Taylor, D. Thomas, I. Mullis, M. Martin, Goh, T. Loveless.
