INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

概要

This class is part of the Sophia Program for Sustainable Futures (SPSF). International education is often thought of as a subject that addresses educational policies and systems in other countries, but it is not only that, it is an area that analyzes international relations surrounding education, and conversely, it considers how international relations affect education. This class will start with the basic question of what international education is, and explain how international education has developed based on internationalism. The program is divided into two parts: 1) the concept and historical background of international education, and 2) specific areas of international education, focusing on education policy and international relations. The course is offered in English, and students are required to write reaction papers and answer quizzes on relevant topics each time, and are expected to acquire the ability to gather information on various social phenomena related to education and to analyze them from multiple perspectives in collaboration with class participants. ※Non-SPSF students are required to meet the same English language competency requirement as the one for the courses offered by the Faculty of Liberal Arts at Sophia University. Please check the requirement by yourself.
