Collins Cambridge IGCSE™ Global Perspectives – A Skills-Focused Course for Global Thinkers

The Collins Cambridge IGCSE™ Global Perspectives series is a modern, skills-driven resource designed to support students preparing for the Cambridge IGCSE™ and O Level Global Perspectives syllabuses (0457/2069) for examination from 2025. Endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education, this course helps learners explore real-world global issues while developing the critical thinking, research, and communication skills required for success in assessment and beyond.

A key strength of this Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives Student’s Book is its clear focus on skills development through enquiry-based learning. Instead of simply presenting information, the book encourages students to ask questions, analyse evidence, and reflect on different viewpoints. In Section 1, learners immediately engage in a collaborative project where they research an issue related to wellbeing in their school community and propose practical solutions. This active start motivates students and shows that Global Perspectives is about real action, not just theory.

Section 2 builds skills step by step through structured investigations into a range of global issues, using international texts, data, and case studies. Each unit follows a logical sequence of activities that lead to a final task and reflection. This iterative process helps students practise analysing information, evaluating arguments, and forming reasoned conclusions. These essential skills are then extended in later sections of the book.

Section 3 focuses on helping students respond effectively to exam-style source materials. Learners practise analysing, evaluating, and writing about sets of sources, which prepares them well for written examinations. Sections 4 and 5 guide students through independent and team projects, showing them how to plan research, structure reports, collaborate with others, and reflect on their performance. These experiences mirror the assessment components of the syllabus and build confidence in project work.

Throughout the Student’s Book, models and annotated examples show what strong work looks like and how to improve. Regular Reflective plenary prompts, along with “Check your progress” and “Next steps” features, encourage learners to think about their development and set goals. The lesson-by-lesson structure makes the course easy to follow, whether students are new to Global Perspectives or continuing their studies over one or two years.

The Collins Cambridge IGCSE Global Perspectives Teacher’s Guide provides comprehensive classroom support. It includes detailed lesson plans, worksheets, answer keys, and an activity bank filled with active learning ideas. A full scheme of work helps teachers plan progression, while differentiated success criteria, extra support, and extra challenge suggestions ensure that all learners can make progress. Editable Word and PDF resources also allow teachers to adapt materials to their classes.

Written by experienced educators Ana Carolina González, Mike Gould, Barbara Miller, and Adrian Ravenscroft, this series combines academic rigour with practical classroom guidance.

Overall, the Collins Cambridge IGCSE™ Global Perspectives course is an excellent choice for schools seeking a structured yet flexible programme. With its focus on global issues, enquiry skills, collaboration, and reflection, it prepares students not only for exams but also for active, informed participation in today’s world.
