Abstract
國際化是現時高等教育界的一個重要議程和發展方向,也是主流評級機構用以評核大學的其中一個因素。各界對國際化的定義不盡相同。在香港,有意見指實施國際化目的就是為了強化「香港的特徵」,從而增加國際學生與本地學生相互文化發展機會。境外學習活動既可以提升學生多方面的技能,亦能讓他們獲得個人全面發展及擴闊全球視野。透過瞭解國際化的定義,以及一所本地大學在其國際化進程中為學生提供境外學習的經驗,我們可對香港高校學生怎樣在國際化中獲益有更深瞭解。
Internationalization has now become a main development direction and a pivotal agenda item in the higher education arena. As a university that mainly provides teachers education, offshore learning opportunities are prime to students of a university in Hong Kong. The special feature of the offshore learning opportunities provided by a university lies in the highly-emphasized students’ autonomous learning and peer coaching, alongside the mentoring system which on the one hand, fosters the exchange of past experiences, facilitating a sustainable growth of the activities and on the other hand, provides a valuable chance for higher education students who aspire to be future educators, to share with their students later in the future their takeaways from all the individual and team outbound experiences from which the next generation will learn to embrace cultural differences, build up personal and cultural identities, along with developing their global perspectives.
