以跨平臺資料庫整合探究國內高等教育機構國際化現況:支持校務研究為導向

To Explore the Current Status of Internationalization of Domestic Higher Education Institutions through Cross-Platform Database Integration: A Support-Oriented Institutional Research

摘要


高等教育機構國際化往往是評定高等教育機構辦學品質的重要指標之一。過去的相關研究指出,高等教育國際化包含了教師、學生、學術與課程等內涵,依其形式可分為在地國際化與國外國際化。考量主流的世界大學排名國際化指標僅聚焦於國際師生比例與國際合作數量,本研究進一步串聯「大專校院課程教學網」、「大專校院校務資訊公開平臺」、科技部「學術統計資料庫」,以及「Scopus 學術資料庫」,整合出四個國際化指標,以探究不同大學的國際化現況:「大學國際化環境營造(國內)」、「學術環境國際化(國內)」、「國際化學術交流(國外)」,以及「國際學術合作交流」。本研究除探究此測量模式之效度,並建議以此作為大學國際化相關決策支援方向,亦藉此指標調查目前國內高等教育機構之國際化情形。結果顯示,此測量模式具備建構效度與效標關聯效度。在國內大學的表現上,一般大學在所有指標上之表現均優於科技大學、公立大學,亦均優於私立大學。此外,受「邁向頂尖大學計畫」補助之十二所大學在所有國際化指標上顯著高於其他大學。本研究提供了國內高等教育機構評估大學國際化之模式,並進行國際化現況之初步調查,藉以提供高等教育機構之決策者在調查自身所屬機構國際化時,有更佳之測量模式與更充足的資訊做運用與決策。

The internationalization of higher education is often one of the key indicators to evaluate the quality of higher education institutions. It includes the connotation of the academic parts, curriculum, teachers, and students, which can be further divided into domestic and abroad internationalization. The present study accessed the databases, "(Higher Education) Course Information website", "Information Platform for College and University Institute Research", "Academic Statistics Database of Ministry of Science and Technology", and "Scopus" to generate four internationalization indicators: "university internationalization environment construction (domestic)", "internationalization of academic environment (domestic)", "international academic exchange (abroad)", and "international academic cooperation and exchange", to explore the current status of internationalization of universities in Taiwan. The structure and validity of this measurement model can be used to support university internationalization related decisions, and the indicators are employed to uncover the internationalization of domestic higher education institutions. The results connote measurement quality in both construct and criterion-related validity. Results show that general universities perform better than all universities of science and technology on all the four indicators, with the public universities performing better than private ones. Besides, the 12 universities in "Aim for Top University Project" perform significantly better than all the other universities. This also witnesses the effectiveness of the "Aim for Top University Project". This study provides a model with four indicators to help explore the status quo of internationalization, and a preliminary probe on the internationalization of domestic higher education institutions. This endeavor seeks to render more robust measurement models along with adequate information required for decision making in higher education institutions with reference to internationalization.
