Deepening Learning and Inspiring Rigor

Abstract: American students are increasingly incorporating study in a foreign country into their college educations, but many participate in short-term programs that limit their engagement with any more than the superficial aspects of the host culture. This article describes a short-term study abroad course for American students to Japan in which the authors drew on an “emic” host country model of group travel in an effort to combine high academic standards, personal growth, and deepened engagement with Japanese culture… Show more

“…Over the past 15 years, short-term study abroad programs lasting eight weeks or less have replaced longer term programs as the most common form of study abroad for students in the United States (IIE, 2017). Short-term programs have played a major role in bolstering student enrollment and diversifying the range of students who study abroad on account of affordability and less time commitment (Donnelly-Smith, 2009; Long, Akande, Purdy, & Nakano, 2010; Mills, Deviney, & Ball, 2010).…”

“…Results were mediated by the inclusion of supportive interventions like service learning activities, weekly reflective blogs that engaged students with their experience of local issues, and providing students with pretrip information on living and learning abroad. Taken together, these studies suggest advantages of short-term study abroad programs may be the potential for faculty control over the learning environment and the inclusion of intentional pedagogical interventions (Donnelly-Smith, 2009; Long et al, 2010). In other words, effective short-term programs create culturally immersive and focused learning environments through intentional program structure and pedagogy.…”

“…Despite this progress, other than in the study of language, there is a relative paucity of research on how foreign students learn about China on both short and long stays in the country. Although we have found insights from accounts of similar tours to ours with Japan (Orpett Long et al 2010) and Russia (Moran & Round 2010) as the destination, extant research on study abroad in China suggests that the majority of programmes either focus on understanding business, for short stays (e.g. Hutchings et al 2002, Evans et al 2008, or language development, for long stays (e.g.…”

“…Here is one of the figur 3. step of facilitation models for transformative learning in Schwarz's opinion. As the figure 3 shown that considering lecture process is not only structured in the classroom, but also independent learning outside the classroom, this model is very appropriate to be implemented in groups with independent learning or learning outside the classroom including study tour [30]. The results of this activity, then are discussed in the classroom by a multi-directional dialogue process and the lecturer acts as a facilitator.…”
