A Comprehensive and Comparative Study on the Transnational Education

本研究从比较和综合的角度分析了跨国教育的总体趋势、发展机制和面临的问题。在本研究中，TNE是指学习者所在国家与授予机构所在国家不同的教育方案。研究发现，不同国家和机构的TNE的倾向，交付类型和质量保证体系存在很大差异，并取决于是否发送或托管程序。总之，日本高等教育在国际竞争中的福尔斯落后并不意味着日本在学术竞争中的失败，也不意味着从教育的长远发展战略上否定了日本高等教育的国际化。

The study analyzed the overall trend, development mechanism and the facing problems of transnational education (TNE) from a comparative and comprehensive perspective. TNE refers in this study to the education programs in which learners are located in a country other than the one in which the awarding institution is based. The study has found that the propensity for, types of delivery of and quality assurance system of TNE differs much among countries and institutions, and depending on whether sending or hosting programs. In conclusion, although Japanese higher education falls behind the other developed countries in this field, it dose not necessarily means the nation's failure in academic competition or the denial of inter-nationalization of the system in terms of long term development strategy of education.
