美国教育委员会参与大学国际化研究

Study on the Engagement of American Council on Education in the Internationalization of Universities

美国教育委员会是全美最具规模的大学协会,是大学国际化的重要参与者之一。为提升大学的国际竞争力,美国教育委员会提出全面国际化理念,通过为大学定制全面国际化方案、创建引领国际化学习社区、搭建国际合作平台、开展大学校园国际化调查与研究等途径参与大学国际化。虽然一直受到自身定位不清、留学生规模增速放缓、过度商业化等困扰,其行动却开创了大学国际化深度发展新路径,有助于避免大学国际化战略同质化、解决大学国际化战略"落地难"问题、拓宽大学的国际合作渠道。

American Council on Education(ACE),the largest association in U.S.education system,is one of the most important participants in the internationalization of universities.In order to enhance universities’international competitiveness,ACE puts forward the idea of"comprehensive internationalization",engaging in internationalization by planning"comprehensive internationalization",creating and leading international learning communities,building multiple platforms for international collaboration,and conducting a program"Mapping Internationalization on U.S.Campuses".Although there are still confusions about its role,the slowing-down of the number of overseas students and over-commercialization,ACE’s practices contribute to avoiding homogenization of the internationalization strategy of universities,to solving the problem of ineffective implementation,and to broadening the channels of international cooperation,that open up a new way for deep internationalization of universities.
