Institute of Higher Education, Anhui University, Hefei 230031, China
| Abstract: | Fostering the global competence of graduate students stands as a key strategy to enhance individual comprehensive quality and adapt to the ongoing trend of globalization, while also serving as a pivotal driver for societal advancement and international cooperation. This study delves into the core of global competence, establishing a framework and developmental pathway to enrich the global competence of graduate students. The aim is to encourage a localized interpretation of global competence and outline the objectives and paths for student development. Existing models for global competence incorporate a combination of elements, a fusion of stages and elements, and an emphasis on action. Expanding on these models, this research constructs a framework for graduate students' global competence across four key dimensions: knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, and actions. To excel at the knowledge level, individuals are encouraged to deeply explore their professional fields and adopt a global perspective; at the skills level, they should adjust to global changes and actively participate in cross-cultural communication and collaboration; in terms of attitudes and values, embracing global diversity and nurturing a sense of shared human destiny are crucial; and at the action level, active involvement in fostering a harmonious society and advancing research progress is deemed essential. However, prevailing challenges in graduate education include deficiencies in professional skills, a lack of international awareness, and limited global engagement. Consequently, this study proposes enhancing the professionalism of talent development in graduate education, fostering a multicultural environment, enhancing teachers' international competencies, and instilling a strong sense of agency in students. |
