摘要
文化智力（CQ）对于学生的学业和职业成功至关重要。本研究借鉴体验式学习理论，调查了学生之前的国际经历和短期出国留学目的地在多大程度上促进了他们的 CQ 发展。我们调查了 121 名本科生在四个不同地点（俄罗斯、阿联酋、美国和越南）参加为期两周的全球商业沉浸式课程的学习情况。沉浸前和沉浸后收集的调查数据显示，这些短期出国留学项目可以让国际经验较少的学生大开眼界，并有助于在文化接近的国家培养显着的 CQ 发展水平。我们的研究揭示了文化距离悖论，表明与学生家乡文化相似的项目目的地有利于学生文化智力的更高发展。该研究为高等教育机构设计和开发短期出国留学项目提供了重要启示，短期出国留学项目是一种负担得起、快速增长且有效的学生流动形式。
ABSTRACT
Cultural intelligence (CQ) is critical to students’ academic and career success. Drawing on experiential learning theory, the current study investigates the extent to which students’ prior international experience and short-term study abroad destinations foster the development of their CQ. We examined the learning of 121 undergraduate students participating in two-week global business immersion programmes in four different locations (Russia, the UAE, the United States and Vietnam). Survey data collected pre- and post-immersion show these short-term study abroad programmes serve as a cultural eye-opener for students with low international experience and contribute to fostering a significant level of CQ development in culturally close countries. Our study uncovers a cultural distance paradox, suggesting that programme destinations with similar cultures to the students’ home cultures facilitate a higher increase in the development of students’ cultural intelligence. The study provides important implications for higher education institutions in the design and development of short-term study abroad programmes as an affordable, fast-growing and effective format for student mobility.
