| Abstract: | Study abroad programs have been used as unique opportunities to study a country's globalization business skills, diversity awareness, entrepreneurship, and workforce development. Students learn from other students, teachers, administrators, and community members, who have first-hand knowledge about the content, form, and goals of business education and the relationship between business education and the nation's economy. Students may learn skills to navigate diverse cultures and new experiences. Effective study abroad programs may prepare students with the necessary skills to enter the workforce. "Fostering Experiential Knowledge of Cultural Diversity Through Studying Abroad" explores the impact that participating in study abroad programs has on fostering professional and personal development. It encourages the development of cultural competence in education. Covering topics such as cultural shocks, academic integrity, and personalized learning, this book is an excellent resource for educators, school administrators, professionals, researchers, academicians, and more. |
