Abstract
This qualitative study investigated the social class worldviews of Chinese International Students (CIS) in the United States. Social class worldviews are a constellation of beliefs, attitudes, and values that individuals use to maintain a sense of psychological equilibrium within their perceived social class groups and culture. Having interviewed eleven CIS in aMidwestern city in the United States, the researchers found that their experiences reflected five themes: (a) Social Class Consciousness; (b) Social Class Socialization; (c) Social Class Resources; (d) Social Class Values; and (e) Social Class Challenges. Suggestions for research and implications for higher education are discussed.
期刊介绍：
The journal publishes scholarly peer-reviewed articles on international students in tertiary education, secondary education, and other educational settings that make significant contributions to research, policy, and practice in the internationalization of education worldwide. We encourage the submission of manuscripts from researchers and practitioners around the world from a myriad of academic fields and theoretical perspectives, including international education, comparative education, human geography, global studies, linguistics, psychology, sociology, communication, international business, economics, social work, cultural studies, and other related disciplines. We are especially interested in submissions which mark a new and demonstratively significant advancement in research on international students on topics such as: Cross-cultural studies of acculturation, intergroup relations, and intercultural communication Career preparation, employability, and career outcomes of short- and long-term mobility Development of international student social networks Emerging trends related to the mobility of international students and scholars English-mediated instruction (EMI) and second language acquisition (L2) Experiences of globally mobile LGBTQ+ students and other student populations Geopolitical perspectives and policies related to international students and other immigrants seeking education Global learning involving diverse people collaboratively analyzing and addressing complex problems that transcend borders International faculty, teaching assistants, and postdoctoral researchers Multicultural, intercultural, and cross-cultural engagement New educational contexts that involve the use of emerging technologies and online learning International student experiences in transnational higher education providers and programs.
