全球生源竞争日益激烈,高等教育的国际化步伐也越来越快。就英国而言,自1999年英国政府发起长期全球教育运动以来,大量中国学生涌入英国大学。本文通过对高等教育国际化相关文献的广泛回顾,探讨了中国学生在英国高等教育环境中的跨文化适应差异。本文将结合作者主持的三项研究的结果,对他们在英国大学学习期间所遇到的教育、社会文化和心理挑战进行综合分析,并对他们的经历进行讨论。这些研究的证据表明,尽管面临各种挑战和挣扎,但大多数学生都设法在学习和生活环境的要求下生存下来,并适应和发展。对他们的学习经验的分析表明,这一学习过程跨越了一个发展的连续体,涉及学生克服因其认知、身份感和社会文化价值观的变化而产生的情绪紧张。因此,需要从整体和发展的角度来理解学生的观念和价值观的变化,这是他们更广泛地适应东道国学术惯例的一部分。研究结果将为理解高等教育国际化对个人学习、变化和发展的影响做出原创性贡献。
Increasing global competition for students has witnessed an ever more rapid internationalisation of higher education. In the case of the UK, there has been a major influx of Chinese students to British universities since the launch of the British Government's long‐term worldwide educational campaign in 1999. Drawing upon evidence from an extensive review of the literature on the internationalisation of higher education, this article will explore variations in Chinese students' intercultural adaptation to the British higher education environment. Discussion of their experiences will be based upon a synthesis of findings of three studies, led by the author, investigating the pedagogical, sociocultural and psychological challenges that they have encountered when studying in British universities.Evidence from these studies suggests that despite various challenges and struggles, most students have managed to survive the demands of the learning and the living environment and to adapt and develop. Analysis of their learning experiences suggests that this learning process spans a developmental continuum involving the students in overcoming emotional tensions arising from changes in their cognition, their sense of identity and sociocultural values. A holistic and developmental perspective is thus required to understand changes in students' perceptions and values as part of their wider adaptation to the academic conventions of their host countries. The findings will make an original contribution to understandings of the impact of the internationalisation of higher education on individuals' learning, change and development.
