Download or read book Passport to Change written by Susan Lee Pasquarelli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been enormous growth in faculty-led short-term study abroad programs because they offer flexibility and expand opportunities for students and faculty members who wish to study and work abroad but do not have the resources or time to spend a semester or year away. These experiential programs offer unique opportunities for university faculty to teach their disciplines abroad while engaging students in direct, authentic cultural encounters for transformative change.This volume provides a detailed framework and guidance on how to plan and implement a faculty-led study abroad program. Seasoned faculty leaders and administrators describe an overall program development process, comprehensively identify the elements for designing the curriculum, and offer advice and solutions to unique challenges inherent in various types of programs. The contributors cover the logistics for managing program details at home and abroad provide advice on writing a university proposal, creating a budget, the marketing and recruitment of students, handling abroad logistics, and preparing students for the abroad experience – all illustrated by examples drawn from their experiences. Most importantly, readers will come to understand the difference between experiences that are more touristic than scholarly and gain guidance on designing or redesigning their own programs to ensure academically sound, culturally-relevant curricula that complements the international field site.The opening section sets the scene by describing the overall process of designing and delivering faculty-led abroad programs, from conception to implementation. The core of the book is grounded in evidence-based research for designing international curricula and syllabi, and includes five case studies illustrating short term programs focused on interdisciplinary subject matter, field study, global service learning, internship immersion, and language and cultural study. This practical guide concludes with faculty activities critical to a program’s success: marketing and recruiting students; preparing teaching events for before, during, and after the abroad experience; and formulating a plan to leave a small footprint abroad. This book constitutes a handbook for college and university professors who plan to or already conduct short-term study abroad programs as well as administrators and staff of global and international programs.ContributorsBilge Gokhan CelikRobert A.

Download or read book Intercultural Engagement Through Short Term Faculty Led Study Abroad written by Priya Ananth and published by MT Open Press, Middle Tennessee State University. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this edited volume is to offer pedagogically sound and creative ways of integrating elements of intercultural competence into class activities, tasks, and assignments in short-term faculty-led study abroad programs. The intercultural competencies, categorized in the areas of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, include characteristics such as awareness about self and other cultures, creative thinking, problem-solving, empathy, tolerance towards ambiguity, and withholding judgment, to name a few. By purposefully embedding these characteristics in their course activities, faculty leaders can better assist their students in deepening intercultural and global competencies. These competencies prepare the students for a changing global work environment and help them manage a more diverse workforce at home. This book is arranged into three sections. Section I provides the basic framework to understand short-term faculty-led study abroad programs from a theoretical as well as administrative perspectives. Section II showcases 11 contributions from faculty leaders who share program details demonstrating how intercultural competencies were strategically incorporated into the activities, tasks, and assignments of their study abroad curricula. Section III presents the conclusions with recommendations for faculty and administrators to plan and design short-term faculty-led study abroad programs. This book will contribute uniquely to the field by providing theoretically driven model courses from a broad spectrum of disciplines. The major goal of this book is to encourage the creation of new short-term faculty-led study abroad programs at the university level as well as empower current faculty leaders to strengthen or adapt their programs. The book will interest a broad readership of multidisciplinary study abroad educators, including faculty leaders, faculty leaders-in-training, faculty scholars, and administrators.

Download or read book Education Abroad written by Erin A. Mikulec and published by IAP. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education abroad is an essential part of the university student experience. Initiatives such as IIE’s Generation Study Abroad encourage more U.S. undergraduate and graduate students to study abroad. According to the Open Doors 2019 Report by the Institute for International Education (IIE), 341,751 students participated in post-secondary education abroad programs during the 2017/2018 academic year. This figure represents an increase of 2.7% of U.S. students studying abroad from the previous year. Research shows that education abroad provides students with opportunities not only to see the world but also to develop intercultural competence, which is increasingly crucial in the 21st century workplace. There are also numerous studies that show gains in autonomy, confidence, and tolerance for ambiguity in students who complete some type of study abroad experience. In sum, the education abroad experience in itself represents a powerful learning environment that continues to support personal and professional development long after returning home. Nonetheless, these learning environments must be cultivated along with faculty who develop and lead programs, as well as university partners and providers. Furthermore, education abroad programming and assessment is complex and must take into consideration many factors including academic goals, purposeful curricular development, and a balance between academics and leisure activities on site. This book explores the many aspects of education abroad as a learning environment, such as student learning outcomes, faculty development, and program assessment and evaluation. In addition, several chapters present education abroad experiences as a model for community engagement and activism. The authors represent a diverse range of institutions and perspectives and discuss programs around the globe. The book represents the voices of faculty that lead education abroad programs, students who participate in them, and also those of international students on a U.S. campus reflecting on their personal experiences abroad. Furthermore, this book contributes to the discussion of best practices to assist faculty and program directors in creating robust education abroad programs that meet the needs of their students and institutions.
Download or read book Community Engagement Abroad written by Pat Crawford and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark in our understanding of international community-engaged learning programs, this book invites educators to rethink everything from disciplinary assumptions to the role of higher education in a globalizing world. Tapping the many such programs developed at Michigan State University during the last half-century, the volume develops a comprehensive framework for analyzing study-abroad programs with a community-engagement focus. More than a how-to guide, it also offers seven theoretically framed case studies showing how these experiences can change students, faculty, and communities alike. The purposeful broadening of who is involved in these types of international learning programs leads to conceptual transformation and self-reflection within the participants. The authors take the reader on a fascinating journey through how they changed as a result of designing and delivering programs in full collaboration with community partners. The arguments given in this volume for developing truly reciprocal, mutually beneficial partnerships beyond the academy are powerful and persuasive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the experiences and perceptions of faculty members who develop and lead study abroad programs for students enrolled in higher education institutions. Through qualitative case study inquiry, four questions are answered. First this study explores what motivates faculty members to become involved in the development and implementation of short-term study abroad programs. Second, faculty identify what was involved in creating and leading the short-term, faculty-led program including what obstacles they encountered and how they overcame them. Third, these faculty shared their perceptions of what students gained from participating in the program. Finally, this study investigates what institutions could do to better support faculty in the development and facilitation of short-term study abroad. Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory serves as the theoretical framework for this constructivist research design and provides a lens for data analysis and interpretation through this study. Interviews were held with ten participants, and interview transcripts were analyzed using in vivo and values coding. The results of this study give voice to faculty members and inform institutions on how to use policy and practice in a way that further supports faculty in developing educational exchanges abroad for students.

Download or read book Directing Short Term Study Abroad Programs at a Public Flagship University written by Kelly Watts and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faculty-led, study abroad programs have increased throughout the United States in recent years as institutions are eager to globalize their campuses (American Council on Education, 2012). These programs offer students the opportunity to actively engage with college faculty while expanding their cultural horizons. Recent research indicates that the benefits for students who participate in short-term programs are rich and rival that of semester-long programs in the area of global awareness (Chieffo & Griffiths, 2004), critical thinking (Finn & McNamara, 2011), and intellectual development (McKeown, 2009). Additionally, the out-of-classroom interaction with faculty can positively impact student learning (Kuh, 2001; Pascarella, 2001), student engagement (Umbach & Warzynski, 2005), and student satisfaction (Kuh & Hu, 2001). While many studies describe the student study abroad experience (Ogden, 2010; Rollins, 2009; Wenner, 2009), minimal research examine the faculty experience (Goodwin & Nact, 1991; Hornig, 1995; Rasch, 2001). The purpose of this qualitative, descriptive inquiry was to explore the faculty experience directing a short-term study abroad program. This descriptive study was guided by the following research question: How do faculty members describe their experience directing a short-term, study abroad program? Participants included N=12 faculty at a public flagship university who directed or codirected a short-term, study abroad program during January 2014 - August 2014. Using individual interviews, reflective questionnaires, and document analyses, findings included four key themes: 1) intentional design of the program, 2) great sense of responsibility to students, the university and international community, 3) transformative faculty-student connection, and 4) campus community disconnect, as well as three contextual findings resulting from interview data analysis: motivation to serve as a study abroad program director, advice for new faculty directors, and emotions at the end of the program. The findings from this study may inform faculty, administrators and the higher education community about the faculty experience directing a study abroad program and how to best meet the needs of faculty in the program design phase, during their travel overseas with students, and when they return to campus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The surge in popularity of short-term, faculty-led study abroad programs has offered both challenges and opportunities to American universities. This project examined the context of the short-term model and determined that the preparedness of the faculty member was critical in making cross-cultural connections for student participants. Attention to group dynamics and a deliberate attempt to escape the "tourist" mindset contributed to the success of the overall academic experience. As a result, activities designed to meet those specific needs were compiled for faculty directors to use pre-departure and while on-site. Recommendations include expanded travel experience for faculty and an examination of institutional goals regarding international education."--leaf 4.
Download or read book Assessing Study Abroad written by Victor Savicki and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to guide advisors, administrators, and faculty members engaged with study abroad who are concerned with answering the question: what does study abroad achieve? It will also inform the work of study abroad organizations as well as institutions receiving study abroad students. Offering a broad-based approach to assessment, the book will appeal to those starting out. However, an array of case studies, illustrating the often untidy process of implementation, will equally appeal to those further along by offering creative – and often simple – approaches to common problems. Following an account of how, and why, assessment in the field has evolved, the first part of the book sets the stage for the reader to consider the role of mission and context in determining purpose, goals and outcomes; to identify and consult with stakeholders; determine what data and expertise may already be available on campus; match methods and tools to questions; and create realistic plans to communicate findings, and to act upon them. The second part of the book offers an overview of appropriate tools and strategies for assessing study abroad, emphasizing the importance of carefully formulating and prioritizing assessment questions and understanding the advantages and drawbacks of different instruments. It describes an array of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, illustrating their application with examples of practice, and concludes by outlining the process of putting a plan into action.The book concludes with ten case studies that illustrate various approaches to planning, experimentation, and implementation, some revealing false starts and lessons learned, and all conveying the message that assessment is an iterative, on-going process that needs constant refinement. The cases represent a wide variety of institutional and organizational types and demonstrate how each selected methods suited to their capacities and cultures.

Download or read book Developing Successful International Faculty Led Program written by Maria G. Fabregas Janeiro and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faculty Led Programs are study abroad experiences led by university professors. Faculty Led Programs are considered as an opportunity for college students, especially in the United States to attend a short-term international experience (Mills, 2010). Faculty Led Program is an international experience which is different from the traditional exchange or study abroad. The basic difference is that in the traditional exchange programs, the students travel alone and the experience is for at least one semester (Sachau, Brasher, & Fee, 2010). One of the most important advantages of the Faculty Led experiences is that students have the opportunity to travel internationally for a short period of time, experience cultural differences and in some cases, practice foreign languages. Mexican universities as many universities around the world are making efforts to internationalize their campuses. They understand that globalization requires trained professionals and are aware of the importance of international relations (Bhawuk & Brislin, 1992). To respond to this need, UPAEP (Universidad Popular Autonoma del Estado de Puebla), through the Vice-Rector Campus Puebla, has decided to implement an aggressive campaign to support the institutional goal of achieving 70% of its students attending international experiences by 2015 (UPAEP Development Corporate Plan, 2011). Forty-three students and four teachers traveled to Oklahoma State for a Faculty Led Experience during the summer of 2011. The students have attended programs in robotics, communication sciences, industrial engineering and biotechnology. The purpose of this paper is to describe the process of organizing and conducting UPAEP Faculty Led Programs at OSU (Oklahoma State University) during the summer of 2011. The UPAEP Faculty Led Programs could contribute to the development of the internationalization of higher education institutions in Mexico and the rest of world. The UPAEP Faculty Led Programs at OSU were a success. The success depended on the detailed planning and the proper selection of the professors involved in the process, as well as the solid relationship between OSU and UPAEP. The students' evaluations were very positive, especially regarding the quality of the organization of programs, the staff, accommodation, logistics, academic and cultural activities, level of content and most importantly, multicultural experience. Additionally, the students mentioned that the UPAEP Summer Faculty Led Programs encouraged them to explore new international experiences, learn a new language and develop their personal intercultural competences.
