| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 政治學研究所 === 105 === “International perspective” is an important criterion for companies to select their employees. Therefore, this study aims to understand whether college students’ levels of international perspective match companies’ hiring criteria. To conduct the survey, the author constructed a questionnaire with 30 international news items, and distribute them to junior and senior college students in the greater Taipei area.
According to the statistical analyses, the mean score of international perspective is 56.8, the median is 56, and there are no differences between hard and soft news issues. Moreover, in the four linear regression analyses, “the frequency of watching foreign media” is the only attribute that has significant impact on respondents’ scores in all three types of news issues. Hence, foreign media play an important role in shaping college students’ international perspective.
The author also conducted an in-depth interviewing with scholars. By comparing survey data and interviews, this study finds that the survey result of college students’ levels of international perspective matches most companies’ expectation. However, there is still significant room for improvement. Drawing on three important dimensions- media, government, and audiences, this study offers a set of suggestions about how to ameliorate the media environment and enhance college students’ international perspective.
