ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine university students’ perceptions of classroom experience in international-faculty and local-faculty classes in Thailand, and their connection with the type of university they attended. The sample included 510 undergraduates. The results demonstrated that students were less willing to participate, were under more stress, and experienced more difficulty comprehending course content in international-faculty classes. However, students felt that international faculty appeared more supportive and approachable than the local counterpart, particularly in private universities. Compared with public university students, private university students exhibited more positive scores on all of the classroom experience dimensions tested.

摘要

本研究的目的是考察大学生对泰国国际教师和本地教师课堂的课堂体验的看法，以及他们与他们就读的大学类型的联系。样本包括 510 名本科生。结果表明，学生参与国际教师课程的意愿较低，压力更大，理解课程内容的难度更大。然而，学生们认为国际教师似乎比当地教师更支持和平易近人，尤其是在私立大学。与公立大学的学生相比，私立大学的学生在所测试的所有课堂体验维度上都表现出更积极的分数。
