Developing International Education - Classified Display of Chinese Gardens and Landscape Gardens Museum

Background and Aim: Promoting the development of international education is an important international education trend in the world today. It has had or is having a far-reaching impact on the education of all countries in the world, whether it is formal education or non-formal education (Gu, M., 2020). The "Course Plan for Technicians in Museums and Exhibition Halls" is mentioned in the book "Classification of International Education Standards" prepared by the UNESCO Education Statistics Bureau (1998). It can be seen that as early as the initial stage of international education development, the international education undertakings responsible for education, cultural inheritance, and exchange have attracted long-term attention to the museum industry. The combination of international education and museum display education can develop the way of international education, improve the exchange channels of international education, use the intuition and authenticity of museum display education, and improve the communication channels and paths of Chinese culture, which is an important way to improve the soft power of modern countries. Materials and Methods: This study uses descriptive research methods and attribute classification methods to try to classify garden cultural relics. The descriptive research method is simple. It interprets existing phenomena, laws, and theories through its understanding and verification, raises questions in a targeted way, and reveals the drawbacks. The law of attribute classification takes the social and scientific and cultural attributes of cultural relics as the standard to classify cultural relics. That is, the classification method is based on the nature of cultural relics. Cultural relics are the relics of human social activities and have cultural attributes. Therefore, when using the attribute classification method, this study clarifies the use and deep meaning of cultural relics to accurately confirm their nature, and then carry out research. Results: The development of international education is the evolution trend of education for the world and the public. Make good use of the current museum public service facilities education platform to build good communication and communication channels, which is conducive to the development of international education. Conclusion: Based on the existing collection classification principles and characteristics, we will innovate the classification display method, make new attempts to improve the classification display education method, and build a collection classification system in line with the functional positioning, collection attributes, and development planning of the library. It is a useful attempt to combine international education with museum education and museum classification to improve the mode of museum education, implement the essence of the curriculum plan of international education development museums and exhibition halls into specific practical work, and enrich the content of museum education through new exhibition classification.

Effects of Chinese academic management environments on international students’ academic experiences

ABSTRACT International student numbers in China are growing, but limited research considers their academic experiences in China’s higher education system. This qualitative study reveals international students’ experiences regarding academic adaptation and success in China’s two academic management environments: ‘semi-differential’ and ‘differential’. The findings reveal that students’ academic experiences and challenges differ depending on the academic management environment. International students in the ‘semi-differential’ model struggle with adapting to academic knowledge, language proficiency and poorly fitted teaching styles but generally overcome these challenges and achieve academic success owing to push motivations and a more integrated environment. In contrast, the ‘differential’ model allows easy adaptation and graduation but leads to a lack of academic confidence, low levels of responsibility towards education and questioning educational quality. To promote the sustainable development of international education and better support international students, Chinese campuses should enhance their institutional arrangements.

성인교육 분야 국제개발협력에서 임파워먼트 논의의 변화

Purpose: This study aims to explore how the concept of empowerment has been discussed over time by exploring the development process of empowerment discourse, focusing on the field of adult education in international education development cooperation. In addition, it studies the characteristics of change in terms of the content of the discourse and examines the context that influenced the change. Originality: Despite the social movement origin of empowerment, the instrumentalist meaning prevails and the discussions have shifted to emphasizing capacity building of individuals in international development cooperation. It is necessary to explore whether these changes have also occurred in the field of adult education, which has traditionally been interested in the issue of power and the liberation of minorities. This process is important because changes in meaning can affect the participants' lifeworld through policy and project implementation. Methodology: Discourse analysis was applied as a research method, and the conceptual discussions of Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory were used throughout the research process. Discourse analysis was conducted on UNESCO's official published materials related to empowerment and adult education published from 1984 to 2022. Result: From the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, when the radical meaning of empowerment diffused in the field of international development cooperation, the social transformation meaning of empowerment was also emphasized in UNESCO adult education discourse. From the late 1990s to the early 2010s, when the international community's focus on poverty eradication and human development expanded, discussions on empowerment related to expanding individual capacities, choices, and opportunities increased. After the mid-2010s, the era of sustainable development, the empowerment discourse that ordered learners to be competent in global challenges has spread. Conclusion and Implication: Empowerment has been a floating signifier that flowed without a fixed meaning in UNESCO adult education discourse, and the equivalent relationship of identities constituting the discourse has also changed from time to time. However, since the concept of empowerment with social transformation meaning is still important in the practice of international development cooperation, this study proposed responses in two directions. First, efforts are made to reconstruct the equivalent relationship of identities that creates the discourse of empowerment. Second, the discovery of alternative terms reveals the critical problem consciousness raised by empowerment, which paid attention to the crisis of inequality and the problem of power distribution.
