From Global University Ranking Systems to Explore the Indicators of Internationalization of Higher Education
摘要
英國時報高等教育(Times Higher Education)與Quacquarelli Symonds [QS]機構於2009年10月8日公布第六次「世界大學排名」名單，我國國立台灣大學名列全球第95名。台灣大學為教育部「發展國際一流大學及頂尖研究中心計畫」之重點培育學校之一，此次台大排名的卓越表現，展現了政府推動高等教育國際化之成效。高等教育經營走向國際化為現今教育發展的必然趨勢。然而，高等教育國際化的指標與內涵究竟為何？目前仍未有一個較為明確的標準，而每次全球性大學排名的結果，皆受到各國高等教育主管機關的高度重視，進而影響各國教育經費分配與高等教育國際化政策走向。因此，本文將由探討高等教育國際化之意義與影響，及目前全球性大學排名系統的內容、指標與高等教育國際化指標之關係，最後提出結論與建議作為國內各大學在推動國際化業務時之參考。
