“…Research has been conducted on East Asian students and the challenges they face once they arrive at overseas universities; however, there are limited studies investigating the experiences of international academics teaching in East and South East Asian higher education settings (Bodycott & Walker, 2000). There is also a lack of research conducted on strategies for supporting international faculty members to make transitions (Brown, Dashwood, Lawrence, & Burton, 2010). Building up understanding of how faculty members can successfully transition their teaching and research work at a new environment is essential to getting the most out of the presence of international faculty at an HEI.…”

International faculty mobility raises important questions about the relationship between culture and teaching in higher education. As international faculty members adjust to new cultural expectations, they may alter their teaching styles. This study uses survey data to examine the teaching styles of international faculty members in South Korea. The study considers whether international faculty assimilate into Confucian heritage classroom culture by testing the hypothesis that formal authority and expert teaching styles will correlate positively with the number of semesters an international faculty member has taught in South Korea. However, the results reject this hypothesis. The findings elucidate teaching styles used by international faculty members in Korea and provide a platform for further investigation into intercultural pedagogy in higher education. Keywords mobility of students and academic staff, strategic institutional management of internationalization, internationalization of teaching, learning and research, internationalization of higher education, intercultural pedagogy

“…In some teacher programs in Ontario, nearly 50% of the teacher candidates may be immigrants. This teacher-candidate population may struggle even more when they are required to teach the sciences at the junior level (Brown, Dashwood, Lawrence, & Burton, 2010). Some researchers pointed out the necessity to provide enough support, encourage positive attitudes, develop greater competencies, and increase the willingness to teach science, especially for new teachers (Appleton, 2006;Dionne & Couture, 2010;Enoch & Riggs, 1990;Reiss, 2004).…”

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)-funded Tableau ST project involved two years of collaborative fieldwork with 19 francophone teachers and resulted in a repertoire of 53 effective science lessons and projects. To disseminate these resources, we designed an innovative, free-access website (http://www.tableaust.ca) that provides ready-to-use lessons to elementary francophone teachers seeking to improve their teaching. For teachers, the website offers valuable and empowering tools to educate the science-literate citizens of the future. For scholars, the project, inspired by the Heart-Hands-Head model, sheds new light on the definition of what constitutes effective science-teaching practices. The collaboration with the teachers has also led to identifying three new criteria for effective practices. Résumé Le projet Tableau ST, relié au site http://www.tableaust.ca, est né d’une recherche participative qui a réuni chercheures et enseignants francophones pendant 2 ans, dans le but de disséminer plus d’une cinquantaine de pratiques gagnantes en sciences à l’élémentaire. Plusieurs critères contribuent à identifier les pratiques efficaces et parmi eux, l’apprentissage actif, le questionnement et le partage et la confrontation des preuves témoignent de la réflexivité des enseignants sur leurs pratiques en classe. Les critères gagnants agencés selon le modèle conceptuel Cœur-Mains-Tête pourront éventuellement servir à guider la pratique enseignante, mais aussi la formation des enseignants en didactique des sciences. Keywords: Elementary science and technology education; Effective science teaching; Tableau ST; Canada and Francophonie. Mots-clés: Enseignement des sciences et technologies à l’élémentaire; Pratiques gagnantes en sciences; Tableau ST; Canada et Francophonie.

The Globally Mobile Teacher and International School Recruitment

International schools in some form or another have been around for over a century and much of the research has focussed on what an international school is or what it is intended to do, and the focus on international teachers as a body of professionals remains unclear. In this chapter the author reflects on who these educators are and re-positions the notion of international teacher categories and posits more relevant definitions. The author observes an annual cycle from the point of recruitment, through induction, period of teaching, to when a teacher decides to stay or leave. Through this cycle, following the progress and development of the literature over the past two decades, the author argues how staff ideals have shifted focus, including an understanding of international teaching through the student context, and concludes that newer, globally mobile teachers have transitioned from a culturally bereft group to one of cultural sensitivity with a global outlook, and how Western teachers are being joined by Eastern counterparts, adding to the globalisation of education.
