Supaporn Chalapati

Internationalisation of Universities in Thailand

Two Case Studies of English-Medium Postgraduate Business Degree Programs

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Dr.Chalapati s work explored and analysed the
internationalisation of higher education in
Thailand.Focusing upon case studies of English-
medium postgraduate business degree programs offered
by leading Thai universities, she mapped
the policy, institutional and curriculum dimensions
of rapid globalisation. Her research recognized the
advantages of local Thai alternatives to
international degree programs offered by overseas
universities but stressed that the benefits of Thai
international programs had yet to be fully realized.
She calls for a thorough rethinking of the meaning
of international education in the Thai context both
in theory and in practice. Policy makers, education
managers and educators must acknowledge
the importance of cultural knowledge in
curriculum design and classroom teaching. Not least,
she argues that Thai universities need to design
their own business curricula rather than import
foreign business education models
and texts. If Thailand is to derive the maximum
benefits on offer in the new global economy, this
book argues that Thai professionals must be able to
interpret the world from both Thai and international
perspectives.
