Transnational education

OECD definitionAll types of higher education, study programs, or sets of courses of study, or educational services (including distance education) in which the learners are located in a different country from the one where the awarding institution is based

Page 7: COMM331 Simulation of a socially innovative enterprise

Internationalisation of higher education

the preparation of students to be internationally knowledgeable and inter-culturally competent, and; to address, through scholarship, the increasingly interdependent nature of the world (environmentally, culturally, economically and socially) Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada

(1995)

Page 8: COMM331 Simulation of a socially innovative enterprise

Internationalisation of the curriculum

the incorporation of an international and intercultural dimension into the content of the curriculum as well as the teaching and learning processes and support services of a program of study

(Leask 2009, p. 209)

Internationalisation of the curriculum

• Discuss responses to pre-workshop questions

• What does internationalisation of the curriculum mean for you?

Internationalisation of the curriculum

‘Westernisation’?

We’ve got to try and amend or modify our education system. Or more important, the mindset. Even though you don’t want to question your teacher, you have a question mark against what he has pronounced as inalienable truth and then challenge it quietly and maybe prove him wrong

Former Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew (Ng, 2001: 192-3).

Internationalisation of the curriculum

‘The new cosmopolitanism’

A means to move beyond the narrow confines of nationalism and Western-centric views of the cultural ‘other’ … by defining not only a commitment to pluralism and a respect for diversity of cultures ... but also the recognition of the interdependence between peoples and societies and the global graduate’s responsibilities that stretch beyond the formal ties of citizenship.

Kwame Appiah (2006)

Professional development needs• building transnational relationships & engagement; • cross-cultural relations, intercultural competence &

cultural issues; • internationalization of the curricula;• peer observation of teaching & learning practices; • assessment design, practice & moderation; • embedding English language proficiency and

academic literacies in subjects; • quality assurance practices; • inclusive organising and educative practices

We need to go over there, they need to come here. We need to use video-conferences rather than doing everything via email. I’m a great believer in personal relationships, if you know the person it is easier to communicate. Email can be a very harsh form of communication and can lead to misunderstanding.

Professional development

To enhance dialogic interaction and connectedness

• collaboratively designed and negotiated; • context sensitive and specific, • practice-based and involve teams engaging

and learning together in their daily work contexts.
