ABSTRACT The extent to which education has a long-term impact on the way students view themselves and the world is a key question, not least when curricula with an international character claim to develop attributes aligned with global citizenship. To our knowledge, there have been few, if any, longitudinal studies that assess the impact of curricula that make such claims. Examining students’ and alumni perceptions of an experiential element of one particular curriculum designed with this aim, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, we found that some of the most marked effects stress individual benefits. This raises questions about the potential of an international curriculum, such as that explored here, to disrupt existing attitudes and behaviours in such a way as to make a sustainable better world for all.

全球公民：通过国际课程改变学生的观念

摘要教育对学生对自己和世界的看法产生长期影响的程度是一个关键问题，尤其是当具有国际特征的课程声称发展与全球公民相符的属性时。据我们所知，很少有纵向研究来评估提出此类主张的课程的影响，如果有的话。通过检查学生和校友对以该目标设计的一项特定课程（国际学士学位文凭课程）的体验元素的看法，我们发现一些最显着的效果会强调个人利益。这就引起了人们对国际课程（如此处探讨的课程）是否有可能破坏现有的态度和行为的方式提出质疑，从而为所有人创造一个可持续的更美好世界。
