Abstract

Globalizacija današnjeg društva donosi veću svijest ljudi o važnosti tolerancije i međusobnom poštovanju. Interkulturalna osjetljivost je sposobnost koju je potrebno razvijati kako bi društvo moglo napredovati te kako bi svi članovi društva poštivali razlike među kulturama te na taj način učili o vlastitoj. Jedan od načina stjecanja interkulturalne osjetljivosti jest sudjelovanje u akademskoj mobilnosti u kojoj studenti provode dio vremena svog studiranja u drugoj državi te uče o sebi i o drugim kulturama. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja bio ispitati percepciju studenata o doprinosu sudjelovanja u akademskoj mobilnosti njihovoj interkulturalnoj osjetljivosti. U istraživanju je korišten prigodan uzorak od 129 studenata i osoba koje su završile fakultet na području Republike Hrvatske, a koji su sudjelovali u nekom obliku akademske mobilnosti. Istraživanjem se ispitalo i postoje li razlike između studenata s obzirom na spol i dob te specifičnosti akademske mobilnosti (oblik akademske mobilnosti, vrijeme trajanja akademske mobilnosti i učestalost sudjelovanja u akademskoj mobilnosti) u njihovoj percepciji o doprinosu sudjelovanja u akademskoj mobilnosti na njihovu interkulturalnu osjetljivost. Kao istraživački instrument korišten je anketni upitnik, a istraživanje se provodilo on-line. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da studenti u velikoj mjeri smatraju da je sudjelovanje u akademskoj mobilnosti pridonijelo povećanju njihove interkulturne osjetljivosti. Međutim, nisu pronađene statistički značajne razlike u njihovoj percepciji s obzirom na spol, dob, oblik trajanja i učestalost sudjelovanja u akademskoj mobilnosti. Pronađena je statistički značajna razlika u percepciji razumijevanja različitosti kao odrednice interkulturalne osjetljivosti ispitanika s obzirom na vrijeme trajanja akademske mobilnosti.

Abstract (english)

The globalization of today's society brings greater awareness of the importance of tolerance and mutual respect. Intercultural sensitivity is an ability that needs to be developed for society to progress, so members of society respect the differences between cultures and thus learn about their own. One of the ways to acquire intercultural sensitivity is to participate in academic mobility where students spend part of their studies in another country and learn about themselves and other cultures. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine student’s perception of the contribution of participation in academic mobility to their intercultural sensitivity. The study sample was convenient and consisted of 129 students and people who graduated from the university in the Republic of Croatia and previously participated in some type of academic mobility. The study also examined whether there are differences between students with regard to gender and age and the specifics of academic mobility (type of academic mobility, duration of academic mobility and frequency of participation in academic mobility) in their perception of the contribution of participation in academic mobility to their intercultural sensitivity. As a research instrument, a survey questionnaire was used, and it was conducted online. The results of the research showed that students largely believe that participation in academic mobility contributed to the increase of their intercultural sensitivity. The results obtained from the data analysis did not find statistically significant differences in the perception regarding gender, age, type and frequency of participation in academic mobility. A statistically significant difference was found in the perception of the understanding of diversity as a determinant of the intercultural sensitivity of the participants regarding the duration of academic mobility.
