International Education.
International education can mean many
different things and its definition is debated. Some have defined two general meanings
according to its involvement of students. The first refers to education that transcends
national borders by the exchange of people, for example, by students travelling
to study at an International Branch Campus, as part of a study abroad program or
as part of a student exchange program. The second, explored in depth here, is a
comprehensive approach to education that intentionally prepares students to be active
and engaged participants in an interconnected world.
The International Baccalaureate defines
the term according to criteria such as the development of citizens of the world
in accordance to culture, language, and social cohesion, building a sense of identity
and cultural awareness, encrypting recognition and development of universal human
values, encourage discovery and enjoyment of learning, equip students with collectivist
or individualistic skills and knowledge that can be applied broadly, encourage global
thinking when responding to local situations, encourage diversity and flexibility
in teaching pedagogies and supply appropriate forms of assessment and international
benchmarking.
Understanding of a broad array of
phenomena is enhanced and deepened through examination of the cultures, languages,
environmental situations, governments, political
relations, religions, geography, and history of the world. While definitions vary
in the precise language used, international education is generally taken to include:
- Knowledge of other world regions & cultures;
- Familiarity with international and global issues;
- Skills in working effectively in global or cross-cultural environments, and using information from different sources around the world;
- Ability to communicate in multiple languages; and
- Dispositions towards respect and concern for other cultures and peoples.
Millennium Development Goals
International education is also a
major part of international development. Professionals and students wishing to be
a part of international education development are able to learn through organizations
and university and college programs. Organizations around the world use education
as a means to development. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals include
to education specific goals:
- Achieve universal primary education in all countries by 2015
- Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by 2015
Other mentions of education in regard
to international development: Education For All (EFA) An international strategy
to operazionalize the Dakar Framework for Action; The World Education Forum (Dakar
2000) agreed to reach 6 goals by 2015:
- Expand early childhood care and education
- Improve access to complete, free schooling of good quality for all primary school-age children
- Greatly increase learning opportunities for youth and adults
- Improve adult literacy rates by 50%
- Eliminate gender disparities in schooling
- Improve all aspects of education quality.
UN Decade of Education for Sustainable
Development (2005–2014) -highlight the central role of education in the pursuit
of sustainable development.
See also Comparative education; and
Liberalism, Realism, Power Transition Theory, International Development, as focus
areas that provide insight into international phenomena relevant to "International
Education."
International education both as a
field of study focusing on study abroad and preparing students for international
occupations as well as an active part of international development is taught in
many colleges and universities around the world.
International Education Week
International Education Week is held
in the United States
by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education during the week
before Thanksgiving; the week is November 14–18 in 2011, November 12–16 in 2012,
and November 18–22 in 2013. The aims of this event are to provide an opportunity
to celebrate the benefits of international education and global exchange. This joint
initiative promotes programs that prepare Americans for a global milieu and attract
future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchange experiences in the U.S. This shows
how International education is not just about physically crossing borders, but is
also about thinking globally in local situations. Schools throughout the US celebrate this
week through on-campus and off-campus events.
Challenges Facing International Education
International education has a somewhat
unusual position in higher education. While recognized as an important sphere of
activity, it tends to be handled by administrative offices at the top of departments
of languages and literature and international affairs. The scholars involved in
international education usually have their primary involvement in other teaching
and research. This leads to four distinctive characteristics particular to the field
of international education:
1. There is little consensus concerning
the guiding theme of the field as well as its scope. Should the field stress internationalization,
Tran nationalization, or globalization?
2. International education is not
a prominent feature of the contemporary higher education experience. Using enrollment
in foreign languages as an indicator, 16 percent of all U.S. college students
were enrolled in foreign languages in the peak period of the 1960s; the proportion
is currently down to 8 percent (Hayward, 2000, p. 6).
3. There is imbalance in regional
coverage. The regions and languages covered at a particular institution are a function
of idiosyncratic patterns of faculty recruitment. Nationally, there is reasonable
coverage of Western Europe and Latin America and most European languages compared
to limited coverage of Africa and the Middle East .
For students enrolled in foreign languages, Spanish is the most popular followed
by the other major languages of Western Europe ;
6 percent enroll in Asian languages. Languages of the Middle
East make up only 2 percent (1.3 being Hebrew and .5 percent Arabic).
The languages of Africa constitute only 0.15 percent
of enrollments.
4. Because international education
is not a primary concern of most scholars in the field, research is somewhat sporadic,
non-cumulative, and tends to be carried out by national organizations as part of
advocacy projects (e.g. Lambert, 1989; Brecht and Rivers, 2000). The most recent
example is the American Council of Education's (ACE's) Internationalization of Higher
Education: A Status Report. (Hayward ,
2000).
