Abstract：In this study, we examine the impact of a study abroad experience on a group of students in an educational leadership doctoral programme. The researchers sought to measure the impact this experience had on diversity awareness of six pre-service school leaders. By using a qualitative exit interview and the quantitative Miville-Guzman Universality-Diversity Scale both pre-post to measure diversity awareness and shifts, the researchers were able to explore shifts in perceptions over time. It was found that every student experienced shifts in not only how they viewed diversity but also how they defined diversity.

总结：

1、本文主要研究的是出国经验对于一组在教育领导博士课程项目中的学生的影响。研究人员试图衡量这一经历对六位职前学校领导者多样性意识的影响。

2、通过采用定性离职面谈和定量的米维尔—古兹曼普遍性—多样性尺度这两种方法前后测量多样性意识及其变化，研究者能够随着时间的推移探索认知的转变。结果发现，每一位学生的变化不仅在他们如何看待多样性，而且还在于他们如何定义多样性。
