• W324130183 abstract "With the growing number of foreign students entering American business schools, it is increasingly necessary for U.S. educators and administrators to understand the learning needs and characteristics of these students. This paper describes a study comparing the learning and study strategies of foreign and American business students at an American college. Research indicates that foreign students face significant learning challenges during their college careers. Male and female foreign students have difficulty with certain learning characteristics, which are different from their American counterparts. The results of the study are discussed and learning improvement plans are described. Introduction More than 500,000 foreign citizens are studying on college campuses across the U.S.-- -up from 361,000 in 1988 (Chronicle of Higher Education, 1998). Of these, more are studying business (20%) than other field (Desruisseaux, 1996). Inevitably, American business professors will find a large number of foreign students in their classrooms. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge. It is an opportunity in the sense that the professor can use the experiences and observations of these students to add practical reality to course activities (Mestenhauser, 1983). The challenge is that the professor must be sensitive to learning difficulties these students might be experiencing (Paige, 1990). Given the number of foreign students studying in the U.S., it is not surprising that researchers and practitioners have been paying increased attention to the way people learn in cross-cultural settings (Cushner & Brislin, 1996). This paper contributes to the knowledge about foreign college students in the American business classroom by comparing the learning and study strategies of foreign students with those of their American counterparts. Background Learning strategies Learning strategies are behaviors intended to influence how the learner processes information (Mayer, 1988). More specifically, they are any behaviors or thoughts that facilitate encoding in such a way that knowledge integration and retrieval are enhanced (Weinstein, 1988, p. 291). Interest in learning strategies has expanded as a result of the large and growing number of academically underprepared or disadvantaged students--including foreign students-- -entering the American college classroom (Weinstein, 1988). To deal with this development, many U.S. postsecondary institutions have developed programs that help incoming students learn-how-to-learn (Weinstein, 1988). Studies indicate that the more students understand about how they learn, the more likely it is that they will become independent, responsible, self-confident learners (Myers, 1992). Foreign college students Foreign students bring their values, beliefs, patterns of behavior, ways of thinking, and learning to their new environment (Kleinfield, 1994). The contrast between the cultural orientation of the foreign student and the host culture may be sharp in some areas and subtle in others. This, according to Paige (1990), can create frustration, anxiety, uncertainty, anger, extreme homesickness--[responses] popularly referred to by the term 'culture shock' and in the theoretical literature as 'cultural adjustment' and 'cultural learning' (p. 167). Hoff (1979) coined the term education shock to describe these responses. Methodology The instrument used in the research was the Learning and Study Strategy Inventory (Weinstein, Palmer, & Schulte, 1987). The LASSI consists of 10 subscales: attitude, motivation, time management, anxiety, concentration, information processing, selecting main ideas, use of study aids, self-testing, and test taking strategies. LASSI was administered to a convenience sample 275 American and foreign business students at a liberal arts undergraduate college located in the Southeastern U. …" @default.
