This study analyzed the perceptions of University of Kentucky Dietetic and Human Nutrition students as they relate to the benefits and barriers of study abroad educational opportunities. The final sample consisted of 164 participants, with 18.9% (n=31) in the Coordinated Program in Dietetics (CP), 32.3% (n=53) in the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD), 42.7% (n=70) in the Human Nutrition (HN) program and 5.5% (n=9) who identified their program as ‘other’. The primary barriers to participation in study abroad were cost and problems fitting education abroad into the current program of study. The primary benefits were identified as dietary and health knowledge acquisition, cultural knowledge acquisition and forming relationships with other students, professors and members of the host community. The information found in this study can be used in the design of study abroad programs for nutrition majors to make programs tailored to fit these students’ needs.

abstract: Education abroad participants worldwide are often positively transformed by their experiences and, as a result, gain a great deal of knowledge, resources, ideas, and high levels of inspiration which can positively impact the individual, and local and global communities—contributing to global development. However, education abroad participants face challenges and are often not prepared for making lasting positive change in their local and global communities post-education abroad, known as the reentry phase. Moreover, they do not fully understand the potential positive impacts they can have on society as a result of their education abroad experiences. This is of significant importance for a world that continues to rapidly globalize, advance technologically faster than ever before, and faces challenges and opportunities that require globally experienced people. Through surveys and interviews with 156 participants from 32 countries, this transformative mixed methods research provides strong evidence for the high levels of benefits participants gain, and how they are positively transformed and motivated to make local and global impacts after their education abroad experiences. The data provides insights into participant perceptions, ideas, opportunities, and challenges surrounding these topics, and identifies differences and similarities in participant and program types that best prepare, support, and enable participants during the re-entry phase. It also provides insights on how stakeholders (e.g. educational, public, private, non-governmental, civil society, and personal support systems) can transform current research, models, and policies to be able to support participants in becoming social entrepreneur change agents, and forge a more holistic approach towards global education mobility and global development. The more than 4.5 million people that currently engage in education abroad annually is a population projected to increase to more than 8 million participants by 2025. They represent only 0.06% of the world’s 7 billion population from almost all countries, including developing, emerging, and highly developed. Therefore, this unique population of highly educated and globally exposed future world leaders and decision-makers represents a comparatively uniquely privileged group that have the potential (and responsibility) to make important global development impacts after their education abroad experiences. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Global Technology and Development 2016

Cette thèse explore les aspects mondialisés de l'expatriation des enseignants français : leur situation migratoire et la relation éducative qui en découle. La comparaison entre Casablanca (Maroc) et Londres (Royaume-Uni) dans une perspective socio-historique fait émerger les caractères communs d'une population dispersée. Les circonstances de la recherche et les spécificités de la population cible montrent les rapports du chercheur à l'objet. Les statuts professionnels et institutionnels donnent une vue d'ensemble de la place des enseignants au sein de la population française hors de France. Les mémoires et les représentations de l'espace, individuelle et collective, font émerger la dimension subjective de la patrie. Ainsi la catégorie « expatriés » peut-elle être repensée en tant que situation migratoire et mobilité sociale. Raison substantielle du départ, le concept d'angoisse décompose les affirmations identitaires. La subjectivité des changements de place fait alors émerger trois profils : les internationaux, les expérimentateurs et les affinitaires. L'analyse comparée des pratiques à l'échelle locale, nationale et transnationale révèle la place des enseignants français dans le monde. Leurs pratiques langagières et leur fonction sociale au sein des contextes d'organisation sociale locaux interrogent leur intégration. Les réseaux de solidarité constitués au gré du parcours des enseignants révèlent une alternance d'expansion et de repli. Enfin, le caractère commun des enseignants se situe dans leur rôle de transmission : entre idéal républicain et histoire nationale, leur manière d'envisager la relation éducative dévoile des enjeux substantiels de l'éducation dans l'espace mondial. / This thesis explores the global aspects of teachers' expatriation from France: their migratory situation and the educational relation that is involved. The comparison between Casablanca (Morocco) and London (UK) fall within a socio-historical approach that highlights common views about a spread of this population. The circumstances of the research and the specificities of the aimed population show the relations between the researcher with its object. The professional statuses give a general outlook about the social position of teachers within French population abroad. Memories and representationsof space stress the subjective dimension of the 'Home' to rethinking the category “expatriate” as well as a migratory situation and social mobility. The identities are toppled with the concept of anxiety, in putting into opposition with the affirmative identities and subjective notions like social position and change. Then are built three types of French people abroad : internationals, experimenters and affinitaries. A comparative analysis of practices at local, national and transnational scale reveals the symbolic dimension of teaching from France in globalization. The language practices and social function question their local integration. Networks of solidarity and friendship emphasize attitudes of openness or self-withdrawal. Finally, the common aspect of teachers is revealed by their act of transmission. Between republican ideal, and national history, their subjective way of practice highlight substantial issues of education within globalisation.

Hierdie studie is toegespits op die samestelling van 'n seksopvoedingsprogram vir skole in Suid-Afrika. Snelle verandering binne sosiale strukture in die samelewing en die blootstelling van die jeug aan kultuur- en godsdiensvreemde seksopvoeding. idees noodsaak die dringendheid van Seksopvoeding word vanuit verskillende waardestelsels aangebied. Die gevolgtrekking is dat beproefde waardes 'n integrale deel van die seksopvoedingsprogram moet uitmaak. Die kind moet begelei word tot seksuele volwassenheid deur gebruik te maak van opvoedkundig-verantwoordbare beginsels en metodes sodat die kind effektief weerstand kan bied teen bederwende invloede uit die samelewing. Die ouers is die aangewese bran van seksopvoeding aan hulle kinders maar weens hulle onbetrokkenheid neem die skoal die verantwoordelikheid op hom. Dit is egter belangrik dat die skoal die ouers as vennote aanvaar. Ten slotte word riglyne verskaf vir die samestelling van 'n seksopvoedingsprogram. / This dissertation considers the composition of a sex education program for schools in South Africa. Rapidly changing social structure within society and the exposure of the youth to foreign cultural and religious ideas necessitate the urgency of sex education. Sex education is presented from different value systems. The conclusion reached is that values must be an integral part of the sex education program. The child must be accompanied to responsible sexual adulthood by means of educationally accountable principles in order that he/she may be able to withstand the demoralizing influences from society effectively. The parents are the appropriate sex educators of their children but, due to their being unconcerned the school accepted this responsibility. It is however of importance that the school accepts the parents as partners. In conclusion guidelines are presented for the compiling of a sex education program. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed.
