Book excerpt: This dissertation shows that the ideology of liberalism formed the basis of the Doctrine of Study Abroad (DSA). The DSA was formed in the 1940s and 1950s and teaches that any time spent studying abroad is beneficial and increases tolerance and world peace. The DSA was established by liberal policy makers within institutions of higher education as a method of liberal education to instill the principles of liberalism in the rising generation. The historically established DSA and its assumptions were tested against the contemporary short-term study abroad movement using three study abroad groups from Texas A&M University. Based on the results it is shown that short-term study abroad does not hold up to the assumptions of the DSA. It is therefore concluded that culture is not inherent in study abroad, that students only make shallow observations and interpretations of potentially meaningful cultural interactions when left to their own devices. It is suggested that "interventions", such as "cultural coaching" and time set aside for focus and directed reflection be made within the process of student learning while abroad to enable students to have meaningful cultural interactions. This dissertation argues that suggestions proposed in this research and by the "learning centered" movement will not be incorporated into study abroad programs due to the historical inertia of the DSA and its influence within institutions of higher education. The dissertation concludes that it is necessary to take a critical attitude toward the fundamental presuppositions of the educational paradigm one is investigating, that education research is important because education policy is prone to wishful thinking, and that making critical investigations are necessary to expose flaws in order to correct them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is assumed that American undergraduates who study abroad derive unique benefits from the experience, until now its actual impact has not been assessed. This book, which presents the findings of a long-term evaluation project, provides the kind of systematic and comprehensive data needed to document and give future guidance to programs of study abroad. Using comparative measures, the authors examine the effects of overseas study in terms of education, career, personal satisfaction, and cultural values. Undergraduates in four U.S. college and university programs involving nearly thirty European institutions were chosen for the study. The focus of the research is the role of study abroad in students' acquisition of foreign language proficiency, knowledge of and concern for foreign cultures and international issues, attitudes toward their home country and its values, and career objectives and accomplishments. Student profiles indicate consistent patterns in motivation, achievement, and satisfaction that relate to the experience abroad. In their conclusion, the authors look at the implications of their findings in the context of our times and society and offer suggestions for some new directions for study abroad in the coming years. This analysis will be relevant for educational decision-makers, funding organizations, government, and the research community.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Study Abroad: University, Summer School, Tour and Work-and-Study Programs; 1962-1963 Edition But 20th century man, and especially the 2oth century American, is called upon to strive for greater objectives than mere individual pursuit of knowledge or even service to his own nation. Catapulted into the jet and space age, confronted with fantastically expanded horizons, he can no longer think in terms of national boundaries or natural barriers. Rather, he must think on a scale of global involvement and interdependency. The mutual exchange of students between nations is a vital part of any program to attain world peace through better understanding, to distribute technical knowledge from developed to underdeveloped countries, to share more equitably the world's social and economic bounty, and to promote an exchange of information and ideas. These goals can be ignored only at our peril. They must be met with a sense of compelling urgency. As Americans, we have been so preoccupied for so many decades with developing our own land and with solving our own national problems that we have neglected the study of other peoples, other languages, and other cultures. Whatever the justification for this mental isolationism in a by-gone age, it is a luxury we can no longer afford. At a time when many of our government agencies lack the skilled manpower to discharge our international commitments, we find Russia and China deploying hordes of students and technicians abroad in order to acquire vital skills of speech and technology, to get the feel of other countries, and to understand the thinking of other peoples. These emissaries are also in a position to explain the vagaries of Russian and Chinese policies; nu doubtedly they leave their imprint, particularly upon the intelligentsia with whom they associate in the colleges and universities they attend. As I look ahead to the challenges confronting America, I would strongly urge our qualified young men and women to consider the prospect of some study abroad. In our position of world leadership, we need citizens with a knowledge of foreign countries and fluency in other languages to ad minister and carry on our global commitments: to run our far-flung aid programs, to enable us to communicate effectively and advantageously with other countries, and to interpret our policies and programs directly to those with whom we deal. In short, we must speak to other peoples in their tongues and within their own terms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
