| Research Abstract |
1. This international joint research aims at clarifying the future prospects of internationalization in higher education by conducting comparative case studies, focusing on "curriculum development for internatioinalization", with the purpose of obtaining theoretical as well as practical knowledge useful for academic as well as institutional reform of the university. This research project was initiated by Kyushu University as an intemational joint research project in cooperation with OECD/CERI (Center for Educational Research and lnnovation) and NUFFIC (The Netherlands Organization for International Cooperation in Higher Education). Six OECD member countries as well as one Asian country were selected for case studies.
2. An operational deinition and the typology of "internationalized curricula" developed by the collaborative work with OECD/CERI and NUFFIC were utilized as a conceptual framework for comparative case studies. The investigative work included the following : (1) case studies
… More
of 10 institution of higher education in Europe (Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and the UK), 15 in the USA,seven in Australia, and 17 in korea, all of which investigations were conducted by Japanese members ; (2) overview studies regarding the issue of internationalization of higher education in Germany, the Netherlands, and the USA by three international members ; and (3) an open international seminar for information exchange among the members by inviting two international members to Kyushu University. Proceedings of the international seminar were published as an interim report (in English). A final report is planned to be published within this year in a book form.
3. The Main Findings : (1) There is an increasing number of innovative curricula oriented toward internationalization of higher education in the OECD member countries, including Japan . (2) The internationalized curricula were found very diversified in terms of purposes, contonts, and media, ranging widely from joint (double) degree programs to joint curriculum development through the internet. (3) Work of curriculum dvelopment for internationalization seems to implemented in order to cope with the two contradictory needs of international relations in higher education, cooperation and competition.
