Indications of Community College Virtual International Exchange Outcomes: Global Perspective-Taking and Self-Efficacy
This study explored student learning outcomes related to virtual international exchange, namely global perspective-taking and self-efficacy, among a sample of 76 community college students in the United States. Viewing virtual exchange as a possible high-impact educational practice, we anticipated that participation would have a positive relationship with these two outcomes. To test this hypothesis, we used survey data collected from students attending two community colleges in the US Southeast. Using a pre-test/post-test design, we estimated linear regression models to explore the relationship between virtual exchange participation and these two outcomes, measured using the Global Perspectives Inventory and the New General Self-efficacy Scale. Counter to expectation, we found that virtual exchange was not generally significantly related to changes in students’ global perspective-taking or sense of self-efficacy. We hypothesize these null findings relate to characteristics of virtual exchange programs and differences between virtual exchange and other international experiences like study abroad.
期刊介绍:
To broaden the discourse on the role of international cooperation and exchange in developing the human capacity to work in a global setting, the Journal of Studies in International Education provides a forum combining the research of scholars, models from practitioners in the public or private sector, and essays. The journal publishes research, essays, and reviews on international education. Articles place issues at the primary, secondary, higher education, professional exchange, and lifelong learning levels in a global context. Topics include: study abroad; curriculum reform; faculty development; and development assistance. Articles on related topics such as public policy and internationalization strategies also appear in the Journal.
