Policies and Strategies for International Student/Educational Exchange in the Asia-Pacific Region

在2004财政年度，我们审查了亚太国家的国际学生交流政策。我们采访了75人以上，并于2005年3月发表了题为《亚太地区各国的国际交流战略的政策与战略》的中期报告。该报告可在以下网址下载：http://www.george24.com/ yoko 39/publications，htm除了这份出版物，我们还在日本跨文化教育协会的海报会议上展示了我们的研究成果（2005年5月），在JAFSA的主题演讲：国际教育协会年度夏季研讨会（2005年7月）早稻田大学21世纪世纪COE项目第4届国际研讨会（2005年12月），比较与国际教育学会50周年纪念大会小组会议（2006年3月）、日本中央教育理事会（2006年6月）和日本国际教育协会年度夏季研讨会（2006年8月）。 关于我们 2005年至2006年，我们对日本所有大学的国际化和国际教育政策进行了调查。高响应率（即，50.5%），研究结果发表在最终报告《十字路口的日本大学：日本大学的国际化与国际教育交流研究报告》中。从调查收集的数据中，发现了以下结果。(1)少数大学具有国际化的远见或使命。(2)大学既不参与员工发展，也不关心国际教育和研究的员工职业道路。(3)国立大学为国际化做出了努力，而地方公立大学国际化的努力并不多。(4)与其他发达国家的大学相比，大学的离岸项目处于不利地位。(5)大学不认为国际学生是高技能劳动力或移民。(6)国际学生的传统派遣国/来源国和接收国/目的地国之间的关系发生了巨大变化。通过这份出版物，我们相信，我们为在亚洲迅速变化的国际教育背景下应该研究什么以及需要采取什么样的政策措施的讨论奠定了基础。少

In the 2004 fiscal year, we examined policies of international student exchange in Asia-Pacific countries. We conducted interviews with more than 75 people, and the findings were published in March, 2005, as an interim report entitled Policies and Strategies of International Exchange Strategies in the Asia-Pacific Countries. The report is downloadable at: http://www.george24.com/ yoko39/publications,htmIn addition to this publication, we also presented our research outcomes at the poster session of Intercultural Education Society of Japan (May, 2005), the keynote lecture at the JAFSA: Association for International Education annual summer seminar (July, 2005), the 4th International Symposium of the Waseda University 21st Century COE Program (December, 2005), the panel session of the 50th anniversary convention of Comparative and International Education Society (March, 2006), the Japanese Central Council for Education (June, 2006) and the JAFSA annual summer seminar (August, 2006).Finall … More y, we conducted a survey on the internationalization and international education policies of all Japanese universities from the year 2005 to 2006. The high response rate (i.e., 50.5%) of the survey was obtained, and the result of the research was published in the final report, Japanese Universities at a Crossroads: Research Report on the Internationalization and International Education Exchange of Japanese Universities. From the data collected by the survey, the following findings were discovered. (1) The small number of universities had the vision or mission of internationalization. (2) Universities were neither engaged on staff development nor interested in staff career path for international education and research. (3) National universities made efforts for internationalization, but local public universities did not much. (4) Offshore programs of universities were unfavorable comparing with universities of other developed countries. (5) Universities did not consider international students as highly skilled labor force or immigrants. (6) The relations between conventional sending/source countries and receiving/destination countries of international students changed drastically. Through this publication, we believe that we put forward foundations for discussion on what should be looked into and what kind of policy measures need to be taken in the context of rapidly changing international education in Asia.
