    國際學生之適應歷程與跨文化訓練--以國立台灣師範大學為例
    (2008) 張庭芳; Ting-Fang Chang
    近年來，在全球化的趨勢與潮流之下，不僅企業向國際市場前進，世界各國的教育也將國際化列入發展的目標。為了因應國際人才的需求，台灣在2003年也將高等教育國際化列入政策之一，擴大招募外籍學生，一方面吸引優秀的國際人才，一方面也積極創造一個國際化的學習環境。隨著國際學生人數的增加，如何協助國際學生在台灣的適應與學習，也成為學校與相關機構關注的議題。 過去有不少研究指出，透過跨文化的訓練，可以協助國際學生的適應歷程。然而卻較少有研究探討國際學生的跨文化訓練。因此，本研究目的希望瞭解國際學生在適應歷程中所面臨的困難，以及他們在適應歷程中所運用的策略。同時，本研究進一步調查國際學生所接受的跨文後訓練，以及跨文化訓練在適應歷程中對他們的影響，並且探討國際學生的跨文化訓練需要考慮的因素。 本研究以在台灣師範大學就讀的國際學生為個案，運用質性研究的方法，深入訪談六位國際學生，以及三位來自師大國際事務處與財團法人國際合作發展基金會的職員。另外，為了豐富研究資料，本研究也運用了簡要的問卷調查和相關文件資料的分析。最後，研究者基於研究發現，提出建議予提供國際學生跨文化訓練的相關機構，以茲參考。

    Cross-Cultural Adjustment of International Students: Examining the Influence of Institutional Distance, Personality, and Cultural Intelligence.
    (2017) Karina Melissa Garbutt; Karina Melissa Garbutt
    Rapid globalization, technological advancement, and increased market competitiveness have driven changes in the nature of employment, organizations and employment communications. Under such circumstances, people have been moving to other countries for work, school, pleasure etc., forming an internationally integrated society, seeking opportunities in the global market. This study examines the relationship between Institutional distance, personality, cultural intelligence and adjustment. Hierarchical regression analysis conducted on data from 401 college level international students- after controlling for age and gender show significant links between (a) cultural intelligence and adjustment; (b) institutional distance and personality; and (c) personality and adjustment. The important finding in this study is the complete moderation of the personality type (openness to experience) on the relationship between institutional distance and cross-cultural adjustment. This study contributes to the literature on adjustment of internationals, within the Taiwan context, to help facilitate better working arrangement between host nationals and international students.

    (2016) 莫姍; Axana Vasquez
    In our globalized and modern era, organizational culture, knowledge sharing, knowledge creation and commitment are key factors influencing students. The Taiwanese model of education is changing significantly to adapt to the new innovative and technological era. One particularity is the influx of thousands of international students who come to Taiwan every year to fulfill their desires and needs for better education, language acquisition or exchange programs. This study aims to investigate the effects that the universities’ culture, knowledge sharing and knowledge creation in the learning institutions have on the commitment of international students in Taiwanese universities. The results of the study indicate that universities’ cultures have a positive significant effect on the knowledge sharing in the learning institutions, the most influential factor of culture is a cultural strength, showing that students care mostly about how well defined and strong are the shared values and beliefs in the university. Knowledge sharing also has a positive effect on knowledge creation in Taiwanese universities. Knowledge creation has a positive direct effect on the commitment of international students in Taiwanese universities. The study also found that normative commitment is the less relevant factor of commitment for international students in Taiwan.
