A Study Of The First Year International Students At A Canadian University: Challenges And Experiences With Social Integration, George Zhou, Zuochen Zhang
Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale
An increasing number of international students come to Canada for their higher education. As a unique group on Canadian campuses, international students deserve our attention so that we can understand their special needs. Using Tinto’s retention model as a theoretical framework, this study investigates the experiences of the first year international students at a Canadian university. It pays special attention to the challenges these students face in the process of their social integration into the new learning and living environment. Data were collected through surveys and focus groups. Data analysis reveals a comprehensive picture of international students’ socialization patterns and …

Abstract
The number of international students arriving in Canada is increasing annually, with students from China accounting for the highest number. Grounded in sociocultural theories of second language learning, identity, investment and Community of Practice (CoP), this paper presents selected findings from a narrative study investigating the experiences of Chinese international students preparing for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) tests in Canada. Based on their own accounts of English learning before and after coming to Vancouver, this paper finds that the participants recognized the capital and power of English and foreign qualifications, and regarded international education as a …
Developing Global Educators And Intercultural Competence Through An International Teaching Practicum In Kenya, Glenda L. Black, Roger Bernardes
Developing Global Educators And Intercultural Competence Through An International Teaching Practicum In Kenya, Glenda L. Black, Roger Bernardes
Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale
The purpose of this mixed methods study was to explore the extent and nature of changes in personal and professional behaviors, values, and attitudes of 46 Canadian teacher candidates who participated in a three week teaching practicum in Kenya. All participants completed a pre and post practicum Global-Mindedness Survey (Hett, 1993), participated in interviews, and engaged in personal and public reflections. Our results suggest that the Kenyan practicum significantly increased the teacher candidates’ global-mindedness and intercultural competence. The teacher candidates’ teaching practice was positively affected as reflected in their increased commitment to build community, improved skills in teaching English language …
Reflections Of A Capacity Builder: An Autoethnographic Perspective Of Capacity Building Methods With A Youth Livelihoods Organization In Vanuatu, Sandra Moore
Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale
Abstract
This autoethnographic narrative explores the author’s capacity building experiences, observances, insights, and reflections over a two year period working with a youth livelihoods nongovernmental organization in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu. Autoethnographies explore the author’s own personal insight and reflection of their own experiences, which in turn may encourage readers to reflect on their own beliefs and practices. The author will define autoethnography and capacity building, briefly outline the historical context of Vanuatu, discuss the successes and challenges of facilitating capacity building, and reflect on her own values, assumptions, and learning within the social context of an international …

Comment Favoriser La Communication École-Familles En Alberta? Des Solutions Proposées Par Les Parents Immigrants., Malanga-Georges Liboy
Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale
Cette étude consiste à présenter l’opinion de parents immigrants dans le but de contribuer à améliorer la communication entre ces derniers et le personnel de l’enseignement canadien. Les difficultés de communication rencontrées par ces deux acteurs majeurs de l’éducation des enfants ont fait l’objet d’un bon nombre d’études. Dans cet article, nous préférons nous pencher sur la question dans une optique plus positive dans la mesure où nous avons orienté notre étude exploratoire sur les pistes de solution proposées par des familles immigrantes vivant en Alberta. Notre grille d’analyse repose sur le modèle bioécosystémique, dans la mesure où celui-ci nous …

South African Principalship, Agency & Intersectionality Theory, Michèle Schmidt, Raj Mestry
Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale
Gender bias towards South African female principals remains a problem and compelling issue for research. The Constitution policy addresses gender equality, yet women still do not experience equal rights in practice. This study uses a theory of intersectionality to examine two Black South African women’s leadership experiences in their roles as principals in two South African schools. The goal of the paper is to examine how these women negotiate obstacles in their work that may constrain their agency as leaders in South African schools. The project involves semi-structured interviews and the results provide a significant contribution to the small body …

This qualitative inquiry compares the practice of one Māori primary school leader of urban education for indigenous multicultural multilingual learners in New Zealand (NZ), to research on the practices of nine educational leaders of colour in the United States (US). This study identifies and compares leadership practices for leaders struggling with ways to positively impact learner outcomes in similar settings (e.g., UK, Canada). From a critical comparative perspective, this school principal shares her leadership practice and lessons learned to inform leadership practice in similarly multifaceted urban settings. This research is undertaken by a collaborative cross-cultural team of educational leaders and …
Educational Leadership In A Fragile State: Comparative Insights From Haiti, Gaetane Jean-Marie, Steve Sider
Educational Leadership In A Fragile State: Comparative Insights From Haiti, Gaetane Jean-Marie, Steve Sider
Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale
Although there has been extensive examination of educational leadership in the developed world (e.g. Fullan, 2001; Leithwood & Sun, 2012), there has been much less research on school leadership in fragile states such as Haiti. This paper responds to Dimmock and Walker’s (2000) call for greater attention to comparative and international research on educational leadership specifically by examining school leadership in the Haitian context. The study on which this paper is based examines the experiences of eight school leaders in Haiti in response to the question: What types of leadership practices do school leaders in Haiti exhibit? Three themes are …
