ABSTRACT For business schools, AACSB and Middle States’ call for more experiential learning is one reason to provide study abroad programs. Universities must attend to the demand for continuous improvement and employ metrics to benchmark and evaluate their relative standing among peer institutions. One such benchmark is the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE, 2013) which outlines 10 “Engagement Indicators” classified under four dimensions representing broad aspects of the student experience. These dimensions and engagement indicators are addressed in this article and may serve as a litmus test of the value and impact of study abroad programs.

短期实地研究计划：一种整体和经验的学习方法

摘要对于商学院而言，AACSB和中东国家要求提供更多体验式学习的呼吁是提供出国学习计划的原因之一。大学必须满足不断改进的需求，并采用指标来衡量和评估其在同行机构中的相对地位。这样的基准之一是《全国学生参与度调查》（NSSE，2013年），其中概述了10个“参与度指标”，分为四个维度，代表了学生体验的广泛方面。这些维度和参与指标将在本文中讨论，并且可以作为对留学计划的价值和影响的试金石。
