Technology Dependency

In this chapter, the authors discussed the use of virtual exchange (VE) courses in a global context to prepare college students, including journalism students and pre-service teachers, for technology dependency and intercultural competencies through the faculty-librarian-instructional designer collaboration. They shared the pedagogical and technological issues encountered when implementing the VE courses with their international partner professors and described their journey of an ongoing process of collaboration and problem solving prior to and during the pandemic. Concrete examples were provided to demonstrate how they used VE to produce meaningful student learning outcomes and to expand accessible international education. The authors also discussed future research and further implementation of the VE courses.

Education Courses

Globalization affects nations, cultures, and education in multiple ways. Quality of education to a large extent depends on the teacher quality. To reform education and teacher preparation from within is ineffective – first of all, we have to consider effects of the national culture on education, educators, and learners. This chapter offers a comparative study of several nations' cultural characteristics and their impact on education. Many innovative ideas and practices can be learned from advanced international educational systems and adapted to the US schools. For that we should introduce comparative international education courses with a focus on practical applications into every teacher preparation program. The author presents an example of a specialization US Education in Global Context taught at National University.

Sequential Trial

Left/right “fixed” responses to arrow targets are influenced by whether a masked arrow prime is congruent or incongruent with the required target response. Left/right “free-choice” responses on trials with ambiguous targets that are mixed among fixed trials are also influenced by masked arrow primes. We show that the magnitude of masked priming of both fixed and free-choice responses is greater when the proportion of fixed trials with congruent primes is .8 rather than .2. Unconscious manipulation of context can thus influence both fixed and free choices. Sequential trial analyses revealed that these effects of the overall prime context on fixed and free-choice priming can be modulated by the local context (i.e., the nature of the previous trial). Our results support accounts of masked priming that posit a memory-recruitment, activation, or decision process that is sensitive to aspects of both the local and global context.
