Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project found that "university," "human," "student (beneficiary)," and "geopolitical" factors and motivations exist in the development and implementation of non-traditional study abroad programs, and that they organically influence each other, with implications for "facilitating development and implementation" and "determining purpose and content. The influence of these factors and motivations, and the manner in which they influenced each other, differed among study abroad programs. While considering the development and implementation of programs that match the characteristics of their universities and the nature and demands of their students, faculty and staff also made sense of the benefits from their personal standpoints and engaged in program development and implementation as one of the actions to realize these benefits.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究結果は、日本人の海外留学が「短期化」、「多様化」、「プログラム化」、そして「大衆化」といった変容を遂げる中で、この特徴が顕著な非伝統的海外留学を用いて、その実態（設計/取組/課題等）を明らかにしたことになる。この解明は大学が社会的要請と自大学生の需要を合わせて、海外留学プログラムの開発・実施を戦略的いかに実践するかの共通原理になると思われる。ひいては、「大学の国際化」と「グローバル人材育成」の実践活動を担う大学教職員への実務的ノウハウに蓄積につながる。
