Student teaching overseas: Outcomes and persistence of the student teaching abroad experience

Tu, Ching-Hsin

Abstract Details

2013, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
Student teaching abroad programs provide American students who major in teacher education an opportunity to complete their student teaching internship either partially, or wholly, abroad. This is an important professional opportunity for American student teachers who would like to build their global teaching experiences, especially as the issue of diversity becomes increasingly important for the United States. In this study, I interpret the experiences of former participants of a student teaching abroad program through participant interviews. This study helps to unearth how the effects of these teachers' international experiences cognitively and professionally persist or dissipate once they return to the U.S. and begin their teaching careers. Based on the findings, I discuss the most significant ways that student teaching abroad impacts individual teachers as professionals and its impact on the teaching profession as a whole.
