摘要

雇主们一直在寻找能够理解不同文化、语言和宗教的毕业生。摘要本研究旨在探讨参与海外学习如何增强商科学生的跨文化性。参与者包括两组在中国参加为期两年的短期海外学习项目的美国学生。数据是学生在跨文化有效性量表(IES)上的得分,这是一个52项的李克特量表,涵盖九个维度:持续学习、自我意识、探索、人际交往、世界取向、关系发展、耐受力、积极关注和情绪弹性。IES在行程前后完成。研究人员还从学生参加海外留学项目时写的开放式日记中收集了额外的数据。定量结果显示,在时间1(旅行前)和时间2(旅行后)期间,大多数IES维度的平均得分显著增加。定性研究结果表明,影响学生体验的主要有三个主题:旅行、记忆和文化。另外的定性研究结果显示,作为正式留学课程的一部分,学生所经历的乐趣和挑战提高了学习成果的实现。

U.S. Undergraduate Business Students and Short-term Study Abroad: An Exploratory Study on Cross-cultural Development
ABSTRACT Employers are continually looking for graduates who show an understanding of people with diverse cultures, languages, and religions. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine how participation in study abroad enhanced the interculturality of undergraduate business students. Participants included two cohorts of U.S. students participating in a short-term biennial study abroad program in China. The data were student’ scores on The Intercultural Effectiveness Scale (IES), a 52-item Likert scale spanning nine dimensions: continuous learning, self-awareness, exploration, interpersonal engagement, world orientation, relationship development, hardiness, positive regard, and emotional resilience. The IES was completed pre and post trip. Additional data were collected from the students’ open-ended journals that they wrote while participating in the study abroad program. Quantitative findings revealed that mean scores increased significantly between Time 1 (pre trip) and Time 2 (post trip) for most dimensions of the IES. Qualitative findings showed that three main themes impact student experiences: Travel, Memories, and Culture. Additional qualitative findings revealed that the Enjoyment and Challenges that students experience as part of a formal study abroad curriculum enhanced attainment of learning outcomes.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Teaching in International Business instructs international business educators, curriculum developers, and institutions of higher education worldwide on methods and techniques for better teaching to ensure optimum, cost-effective learning on the part of students of international business. It is generally assumed that the teaching of international business is universal, but that the application of teaching methods, processes, and techniques in varying socioeconomic and cultural environments is unique. The journal offers insights and perspectives to international business educators and practitioners to share concerns, problems, opportunities, and solutions to the teaching and learning of international business subjects.
