A study of student exchange program for teaching practice between Nagasaki University in Japan and Hanyang University in Korea

随着信息通信技术的飞速发展，信息的迅速传播，世界各国都有义务加强国际化。学校教育也面临着国际化的挑战，加强国际化教育面临着巨大的压力。然而，与国际化相适应的教师培训很难说是系统发展的。要扩大学校教育的国际化，培养具有丰富经验和对国外了解的教师是很重要的。出国留学的教学实践可能是解决这些问题的方法之一。本研究以长崎大学与汉阳大学的国际学生教师交流计划（I-STEP）为框架，让教师教育课程的学生到合作伙伴国家的学校进行实践教学，以培养青年教师的国际化视野。两国学生每年访问和学习合作大学一次，目的是发展跨文化理解。2011年，长崎大学的学生访问了汉阳大学，并在附属小学和初中授课。汉阳大学学生在教学实践中提出了可能的合作。两校学生在彼此的实践中发挥了独创性，合作顺利。教学结束后，我们对小学和初中的学生进行了调查。学生们对此表达了积极的看法。我们还调查了在这些学校教书的学生。学生们展示了国际理解的重要性。这些结果将在韩国的跨文化理解会议上发表。

As rapid diffusion of information which is caused by rapid progress of ICT, the countries in the world are obliged to increase internationalization. School education confronts internationalization also, and come under pressure to enhance international education. However, it is hard to say that the teacher training in alignment with internationalization is developed systematically.It is important to foster teachers who have much experience and understanding about foreign countries to expand internationalization in school education. Teaching practice in a school abroad may be one of the solutions to these issues.In this study, students in teacher education course practice-teach at schools in partner country, utilizing the framework of exchange study program between Nagasaki University and Hanyang University, i. e., I-STEP(International Student Teachers Exchange Program), for the purpose of developing the internationalized perspective of young teachers. Students of both countries visit and study partner university once a year in the aim of developing the cross-cultural understanding. In 2011, Nagasaki University students visited Hanyang University, and taught at attached elementary school and junior high school. Student of Hanyang University extended possible cooperation to the teaching practice. Students of both universities showed ingenuity in the practice each other and worked smoothly with each other. After the teaching, we investigated the students in the elementary school and junior high school about the practice. The students expressed positive feeling about it. We also investigated the students who taught at the schools. The students showed importance of international understanding. These results will be presented at the conference of cross-cultural understanding in Korea.
