Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、留学生支援を学生個人の適応支援の問題としてとどめず、組織側の多様性対応の課題として位置付けた。また組織的対応の状況が留学生の学生生活への満足度に影響を及ぼすことや、ニーズへの対応が学びの場の質の維持・向上にとっても不可欠であることを示した。留学生の体験と組織次元の取り組みの関連を捉える枠組みの生成は、大学が課題を把握し、より計画的に多様性への対応を進めていくことを可能とする。大学の国際化という抽象的な課題を、具体的な取り組み課題として示した点が、学術的・実践的に意義があるといえる。
