A Review on Cross Cultural Education throughout Europe: Identity Issues

Öz:
The past few decades have witnessed an increase in global mobility and an unprecedented number of exchange programs offered by various institutions and governments to enable students to receive education in foreign countries. The increase in the enrolment rates of international and exchange students has led many countries to reform their educational systems at curricular and practical levels to meet the needs of international students. European Council (2001), for instance, has developed a common framework of reference to enable students across Europe to travel for education with the hope of creating a common European identity. However, institutional reports and research findings show that in spite of the increasing opportunities and attempts to improve information and funding services to accommodate the needs of international students, the effectiveness of cross cultural education can be questioned. Among these predicaments, identity issues have been frequently reported (e.g., Andrade, 2006; Ho, 2009; Kuhn, 2012; Kim, 2014). In this respect, the present study aims to provide a review of recent studies and reports by focusing specifically on identity problems encountered by exchange students. The discussions presented and their implications are meant to contribute to improving the educational contexts for exchange students.

Avrupa’da Kültürler Arası Eğitim üzerine bir İnceleme: Kimlik Sorunları

Öz:
Son yıllarda, küresel hareketlilik ve öğrencilere yönelik farklı kurumların sunduğu yurtdışı eğitim programlarının sayısında önemli derecede bir artış yaşanmıştır. Uluslararası eğitim ve değişim programlarına talepteki bu artış, birçok ülkenin, yabancı uyruklu öğrencilerin ihtiyaçlarına cevap verebilmek için eğitim sistemlerinde müfredat ve eğitim programlarını da içeren kapsamlı düzenlemelere gitmesine neden olmuştur. Örneğin, Avrupa Komisyonu (2001), ortak bir Avrupa kimliğine sahip olabilmelerini ve öğrencilerin Avrupa ülkelerinde eğitim almalarını kolaylaştırmak üzere Avrupa Ortak Ölçüt Çerçevesini sunmuştur. Ancak, artan olanaklara ve uluslararası öğrencilerin bilgi edinimi ve maddi olanaklar konularındaki ihtiyaçlarını karşılama girişimlerindeki artışlara rağmen, araştırma sonuçları ve kurumsal raporlar öğrenci değişim programlarının etkinliğini sorgulayan bulgular içermektedir. Araştırma sonuçlarında sıkça ortaya konulan problemlerden biri, değişim öğrencilerinin yaşadığı kimlik sorunlarıdır (Andrade, 2006; Ho, 2009; Kuhn, 2012; Kim, 2014). Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma değişim programlarında eğitim alan öğrencilerin kimlik ile ilgili yaşadığı problemleri ortaya koymak üzere alan yazındaki bulguları incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bulgular özetlenerek, çalışmaların ortaya koyduğu kimlik problemleri tartışılmış ve sunulan önerilerle değişim programlarından faydalanan öğrencilerin koşullarının geliştirilmesine katkı sağlanacağı düşünülmüştür.
