International students enrolled in programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs provided acculturative stress and needs data. Acculturative stress was correlated with academic, social, language, and cultural needs. Furthermore, relationships were found between students’ types of needs. Implications are offered to help meet international students’ needs.  相似文献   

Exploring the challenges experienced by international students during work-integrated learning in Australia     

Denise Jackson 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》2017,37(3):344-359

This study explores the challenges experienced by international students during Work Integrated Learning (WIL) in Australia. Student participation in WIL not only enhances individual student employability but also the attractiveness of Australia as a study destination. WIL, in particular work placements, is in high demand by international students who seek to gain relevant experience in their host country and increase their chances of employment post-study. Data were gathered from employers, academics and students on the challenges faced by international students during the WIL experience and how WIL is currently being managed for the international cohort. Stakeholders identified a number of challenges which impact on student performance and the success of their WIL experience. These include cultural differences, inflated expectations, difficulties managing assessment tasks, relatively weak language skills and an imbalance in the support needed by international students in comparison to what is on offer. Stakeholder strategies to manage these challenges are discussed.  相似文献   

Beyond ‘export education’: aspiring to put students at the heart of a university’s internationalisation strategy     

Nigel M Healey 《Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education》2017,21(4):119-128

For many universities around the world, internationalisation means the recruitment of fee-paying international students (so-called export education) for primarily commercial reasons. For UK universities, international (non-European Union) students account for approximately 13% of their annual revenues, making them highly dependent on international student recruitment. This paper discusses the attempt by one UK university to change direction and develop a new approach to internationalisation which puts an international learning experience for all students at the heart of its new strategic plan. It discusses the obstacles to changing direction in this way and shares some of the lessons learned about how to roll out an alternative university-wide internationalisation strategy.  相似文献   

Nonnative English-Speaking Professors’ Experiences of English-Medium Instruction and Their Perceived Roles of the Local Language     

Jeongyeon Kim  Bradley Tatar 《Journal of Language, Identity & Education》2017,16(3):157-171

This study examines the experiences of nonnative English-speaking faculty instructors teaching subject courses in English-medium instruction (EMI) at a Korean university and reveals the perceived roles of the local language in the context. The data consist of questionnaire responses of 91 Korean professors and qualitative interviews with 15 who had answered the questionnaires. Findings showed that the participants perceived the local students’ performances and the amount of interaction between local and international students negatively. Their perceived need for the local, Korean language correlated negatively with the interaction between Korean and international students. In the qualitative interviews, the local language in the EMI context, despite the full-fledged EMI policy being implemented top down, was represented as crucial for social and instructional purposes and for their own time management. These perceived roles were found to be associated with their multiple identities, as instructors and researchers, required and practiced in the context. The findings are discussed to provide information on how to support an EMI policy for internationalization of higher education, especially in non-English-speaking societies.  相似文献

陈俊杰 《科教导刊》2020,(1):14-16

目前评价我国高校的竞争力的指标体系很多,体现在各大高校的排行榜评价中,但是还没有一套关于评价独立学院竞争力的评价指标体系。本文在参考国内比较权威的中国校友会网关于高校评价指标体系的基础之上,构建出一套关于独立学院的更能与当前竞争环境相适应的评价指标体系,并采用PCA法,以天津市10所独立学院进行了实证研究,得出当前天津市独立学院的竞争力现状,为研究独立学院竞争力提供参考和依据。  相似文献   

论国际商事仲裁程序法中的"非国内化"理论     

张洋 《深圳职业技术学院学报》2004,3(2):57-62

在传统的国际商事仲裁中,“所在地”理论在仲裁程序的法律适用中占据着统治地位。而随着现代国际商事仲裁实践的发展,“所在地”理论受到了“非国内化”理论的巨大挑战。本通过对“非国内化”理论的分析,认为该理论适应了现代国际商事仲裁制度统一化的发展趋势,符合其追求的价值目标,必将成为国际商事仲裁程序法律适用中的主导理论。  相似文献

高等教育服务贸易有关问题的国际讨论及其启示   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

俞培果  王大燕 《外国教育研究》2005,32(10):20-24

近年来，在世界范围内，教育界和贸易界对WTO的《国际服务贸易总协定》（GATS）的有关问题一直在进行着激烈的争论。在我国学术刊物上也发表了不少讨论文章。将国际国内讨论进行对比，讨论的主题及对问题的认识均存在一定差距。笔者认为，有必要对GATS及其相关问题的国际讨论作更加全面的介绍，以便我国学者对这些问题作更加深入的讨论，为我国政府履行承诺及下一轮谈判提供决策参考，使我国教育工作者和管理者们客观地认识当前高等教育国际化的形势。  相似文献   

Evidence-based decision making or a tunnel vision effect? TIMSS,problem definition and policy change in Israeli mathematics education     

Yariv Feniger 《Critical Studies in Education》2020,61(3):363-379

ABSTRACT

This study examines the influence of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 1999 results on mathematics education policy in Israel. Analyzing various documents, the study shows how these results transformed policymakers’ discourse regarding mathematics education. In order to achieve improvement in Israel’s ranking, the middle school mathematics curriculum was aligned with the TIMSS test. Following this change, the scores of Israeli students rose considerably in TIMSS 2011. Parallel results from Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Israeli internal standardized tests, however, do not show comparable improvement in mathematics achievement. High school matriculation data for the same period of time show a decline in the percentage of students who took the most advanced mathematics courses. Furthermore, none of these data sources show any noticeable reduction in social inequality in mathematics achievement. On the basis of theoretical insights from political science, it is argued that international tests influence the way educational problems are framed and defined. Thus, instead of enriching educational decision-making processes, these tests can create a tunnel vision effect that restricts policymakers’ attention to ‘problems’ and ‘solutions’ defined by the tests themselves.  相似文献
