标题: Chinese Students’ Opinions about Global-Mindedness
摘要: 
Global awareness is an important topic in higher education’s curricula to prepare students for the 21st century, to adequately respond to today’s globalized world and develop world citizenship. To investigate college students’ perceptions on global awareness, a survey on global-mindedness including skills and experiences related to global citizenship was given to college students majoring in education, business, and engineering in two large cities of China. Their responses were analyzed to compare with college students in Australia, New Zealand, and USA. Higher education curriculum development to prepare responsible world citizens will be discussed.
