摘要

近年来,“私立英语国际学校”发展的一个主要进展是从“传统”活动模式向“非传统”环境的转变。亚洲的情况尤其如此,大多数国际学校现在都在那里。此外,我们发现,在中国大陆,(大约)900所可能被视为国际学校的学校中,有三分之二现在可能被更好地归类为“国际化学校”,主要面向中国公民,由主要由当地教师授课,同时以利润驱动的模式提供国际和国家课程的融合。一个主要的挑战是描绘和理论化这种不断变化、越来越不同的景观。本文利用隐喻提供了一种新的意象来进行讨论。基于最近在国际学校教育文献中引入的相互冲突的“淡化”和“脱钩”隐喻,我们在这里提出了一个和解的新意象:“吻合”。第三个比喻表明,包括中国大陆在内的地方不断变化的国际学校教育格局涉及私立双语国际学校教育模式,这些模式与国家教育形式务实地“吻合”,融合了世界性的敏感性和国家的民族主义需求。这个比喻现在已经准备好在中国和其他地方发展和改编了。

Diluting, decoupling, and dovetailing: Considering new metaphors for understanding the changing international school landscape in China
A major development in recent years concerning the growth of ‘private English-speaking international schooling’ has been the transition from a ‘traditional’ mode of activity towards a ‘non-traditional’ context. This is especially the case in Asia, where the majority of international schools now reside. Moreover, we find that in Mainland China two-thirds of the (approximately) 900 schools that might be thought of as international schools are now perhaps better classified as ‘internationalised schools’, catering largely for Chinese nationals and being taught by a largely local teaching force whilst delivering a fusion of international and national curricula in a profit-driven paradigm. A major challenge is to picture and theorise this changing, and increasingly very different, landscape. This paper offers a new imagery for discussion by using metaphor. Building upon the conflicting ‘diluting’ and ‘decoupling’ metaphors that have been recently introduced in the international schooling literature, we present here a conciliatory new imagery: that of ‘dovetailing’. This alternative, third metaphor suggests that the changing landscape of international schooling in places including mainland China involves models of private bilingual international schooling that are pragmatically ‘dovetailed’ with national forms of schooling, fusing cosmopolitan sensitivities with the nationalist needs of the state. This metaphor is now ready to be developed and adapted in China and beyond.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Research in International Education is an international, peer-reviewed journal in international education for schools, examiners and higher education institutions throughout the world. The Journal of Research in International Education seeks to advance the understanding and significance of international education. It sets out to undertake a rigorous consideration of the educational implications of the fundamental relationship between human unity and human diversity that ''education for international understanding'' requires. The JRIE encourages an approach to research in international education that will close the gap between the well established emergent theory and diverse practice throughout the world. In this context, international education is concerned with the promotion of education for international understanding and human rights, and may include peace education, global education and intercultural education. Authors may address, for example, the curriculum, institutional concerns, the history of education, policy and pedagogy at all levels.
