“…National citizenship as conceptually presented from ancient Rome and Greece and gradually from revolutions worldwide, suggests membership and allegiance to a nation or state, which entails certain rights, privileges, and responsibilities in association with the state in which the individual has citizenship (Doscher, 2012). The individual shares, alongside others who belong to the same state, these activities and membership rights.…”

“…Whereas internationalization began as an important process for students to develop a better understanding of the world surrounding them (Sylvester, 2005), global education introduced the common goal of developing global citizens. This meant that students had to move beyond understanding, and into areas that could be readily assessed in the classroom, and included developing skills in awareness, perspective, and engagement (Doscher, 2012). Thus, students become purposeful, active, and discerning individuals capable of functioning in any worldly context.…”

“…The additional scales for each domain are described as follows (Doscher, 2012): The subsequent items that fall within these scales and domains, total 40 (for the version currently used at FIU). The items are measured using a five-point Likert Scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree.…”

“…Global education and global learning can be used interchangeably, although in FIU the latter spearheads the university's curriculum and rhetoric in general. The main rationale is that global learning denotes a long-term process that students must undergo in becoming global citizens, and not simply a finite end goal within a four-year time frame (average undergraduate period of study) (Doscher, 2012).…”

“…This score discrepancies resolution is a type of parity model (Johnson, Penny, Fisher, & Kuhs, 2003) commonly used and often favored over others in validity and reliability studies (Doscher, 2012) for contributing to higher rates of agreement (Johnson, Penny, & Gordon, 2000, as cited in Doscher, 2012. Inter-rater score reliability is reported in Table 4, in Chapter 4.…”

Purpose. The research aims at multi-faceted study of global communication competence, which is a vital soft skill for professional development of students, acquiring their degrees in sport and tourism. Materials and methods. Qualitative research methods applied in the research include theoretical analysis of relevant scientific findings, synthesis and modelling, pedagogical observation and evaluation. Quantitative analysis relates to questioning and data processing, in particular, 50-question Intercultural Quiz, conducted among 352 students of NUUPES and NUFT. Results. The conducted research of global communication competence of the first and fifth year university sport and tourism students shows clear correlation between the level of education and gained global communication expertise, presented by the communicative skills of critical thinking and cooperation. The analysis of statistic data has proved that along with improved self-awareness, disciplines more than doubled students’ global communication competence within five academic years. In addition to quantitative improvement, the quality of the intercultural communication is enhanced, as essential professional skills are gained in the sphere of students’ future occupation. Professional orientation of global communication competence outlines sportive and medical inclination of NUUPES students’ higher education, and tourism and hospitality focus of NUFT students’ training. Conclusions. The results of the study have proven that contemporary university students who get degrees in the fields of sport and tourism perceive culturally-bound information when attending their on-line and off-line academic courses and participating in various multicultural events in and outside university setting. In this way they acquire attitudes and values of self-awareness and recognition of ethnical diversity. Established values transform into production and result in implementation of culturally aware behaviour, represented by a high level of self-evaluation and persuasion abilities directed to effective, yet tolerant way of problem solving and shared responsibility.
