ABSTRACT Study-abroad programs represent one of the initiatives implemented by universities to internationalize curricula and prepare students to perform in a globalized society. The purpose of this research was to evaluate how intercultural interactions influence the development of intercultural competence. Results from a sample of 158 students indicate that students’ intercultural contacts have a significant positive effect on their change in intercultural competence, which is calculated as the difference between the measures before and after going abroad (b = .236; s.e. = .104; β = .289; p < .05). These findings confirm that mere exposure to foreign environments does not automatically result in effective learning; thus, universities should set conditions to facilitate active engagement between visiting students and national hosts.

国外学生互动对发展跨文化能力的影响

摘要出国学习计划是大学为使课程国际化和为学生在全球化社会中的学习做好准备而实施的举措之一。这项研究的目的是评估跨文化互动如何影响跨文化能力的发展。从158名学生的样本中得出的结果表明,学生的跨文化交往对他们的跨文化能力变化具有显着的积极影响,这可以通过出国前后措施之间的差异来计算(b = .236; se = .104; β= .289; p <.05)。这些发现证实,仅仅暴露于外国环境并不能自动导致有效的学习。因此,大学应设置条件,以促进来访学生与本国学生之间的积极参与。
