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是指学习者位于授奖机构所在国以外的国家的教育项目。研究发现，不同国家和机构对技术教育的倾向、提供的类型和质量保证体系存在很大差异，这取决于是发送还是主办项目。综上所述，虽然日本高等教育在这一领域落后于其他发达国家，但这并不一定意味着日本在学术竞争上的失败，也不意味着日本在教育的长期发展战略上否定了该制度的国际化。

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.
