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

随着信息技术的飞速发展所带来的信息快速扩散，世界各国都不得不加大国际化的步伐。学校教育也面临着国际化的挑战，面临着加强国际化教育的压力。然而，与国际化相适应的教师培训很难说是系统的，培养具有丰富的国外经验和了解的教师对学校教育的国际化具有重要意义。本研究利用日本长崎大学与韩国汉阳大学的交流项目框架，对日本教师教育专业的学生到伙伴国的学校进行教育实习。例如，I-STEP（国际学生教师交流计划），旨在培养青年教师的国际化视野。两国学生每年访问和学习伙伴大学一次，旨在发展跨文化理解。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任教。汉阳大学的学生将可能的合作延伸到教学实践中。两所大学的学生在实践中表现出了独创性，彼此合作顺利。教学结束后，对小学生和初中生进行了问卷调查。学生们对此表示肯定。我们还调查了在学校任教的学生。学生们表现出国际理解的重要性。这些成果将在韩国举行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.
