商品簡介
Drawn from presentations, discussions, and sessions from the Going Global Conference 2013, held in March of that year in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the 12 chapters in this book explore the concept of internationalizing higher education and the benefits for research and innovation, how internationalization can result in greater global capacity in highly skilled people who understand the knowledge economy, how these dimensions of teaching and research affect the ways individual organizations and systems of higher education are organized, and how current transitions are contributing to sustainability and new opportunities in the international sphere. They discuss the role of universities in knowledge production, new and developing sites of knowledge production, research output, collaboration, and the role of the humanities; transferable skills, the importance of networks for communication and other needs, study abroad programs, the role of developing English language skills, and the need for skills development; and specific programs and projects at various universities. Contributors are education researchers from around the world. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
