Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is widely understood that international education programs on campus between international and domestic students are very effective. However we need to clarify the effects using various evaluation tools.
The first part of this research used mainly interviews with graduate students, who have experienced the "Kobe University International Students’Symposium (KISS)" which has been held every year from 1995. I also implemented questionnaires to former participants. The second part of this research looked at how collaboration with graduate students can increase the effectiveness of KISS. I found that they can contribute to the implementation of the program in many ways.
