Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Gebrochener Buchrücken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt. More than 40 years ago, Congress recognized the need for higher education to educate Americans about global cultures, leading to the National Defense Education Act, later known as the Higher Education Act. Title VI of this act has significantly supported foreign languages and area studies in universities and colleges, enabling millions of Americans to gain knowledge about different parts of the world. Today, new issues and perspectives arise as Americans increasingly encounter diverse cultures, business practices, histories, and ideologies. The U.S. is also called to intervene in international crises, highlighting the need for informed opinions on complex global problems. This work is aimed at administrators and planners in U.S. education, detailing the evolution of international studies from its origins under Title VI to current shifts in research, teaching, and outreach. A significant focus is on internationalizing K-12 curricula. The text concludes with insights into future trends affecting international scholarship and training in the new century, along with an extensive bibliography of international resources.…

More than 40 years ago, recognizing that higher education would have to take responsibility for educating Americans about other world cultures and societies, Congress passed the National Defense Education Act (later known as the Higher Education Act). Title VI of this act has provided extensive support for foreign languages and area studies development in the nations universities and colleges. As a result, millions of Americans have been able to acquire knowledge about other parts of the world.
Today, there are new issues, demands, and perspectives. Americans are more likely than ever to encounter different cultures, business practices, histories, ideologies, and ways of life. In addition, the United States is increasingly called upon to intervene or mediate in regional and local crises far beyond its borders.
U.S. educational institutions must continue to help citizens to have informed opinions about complex international problems. Changing Perspectives on International Education is designed to be used by administrators and planners in U.S. education. It covers the field of international studies as it has developed in the United States, from its beginnings and accomplishments under Title VI to the current paradigmatic shifts taking place in research, teaching, and outreach. A major section is devoted to internationalizing the curriculum of K-12 schools. It concludes with a look at future trends and how they may affect international scholarship and training in the new century. It also provides an extensive bibliography of international resources.
