This article examines the developing discourse of international-mindedness and the problematic nature of its theoretical foundation alongside its actual manifestation in international school settings. In particular, it explores the discord between international-mindedness as a benevolent form of character development compared to international-mindedness as an opportunistic form of social and global mobility. Against this competing backdrop, the article also looks to identify distinct features that differentiate the concept of international-mindedness from other more established ideologies, including those related to interculturalism, multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism. The assumption that international-mindedness is perpetually situated within a moral code of conduct is challenged and analyzed critically, along with implications for schools.

国际化思维：概念面临的偏差、不一致和其他挑战

本文探讨了国际意识的发展话语及其理论基础的问题性质及其在国际学校环境中的实际表现。特别是，它探讨了作为一种仁慈的性格发展形式的国际情怀与作为社会和全球流动的机会主义形式的国际情怀之间的不和谐。在这种相互竞争的背景下，本文还试图找出将国际意识概念与其他更成熟的意识形态（包括与跨文化主义、多元文化主义和世界主义相关的意识形态）区分开来的独特特征。国际情怀永远位于道德行为准则中的假设受到挑战和批判性分析，以及对学校的影响。
