Abstract

International-mindedness is an overarching construct related to intercultural understanding, global engagement and multilingualism. The concept, which is particular to the International Baccalaureate (IB), is at the heart of the IB’s educational policies and programmes. The objective of this study was to examine how IB World Schools conceptualize, implement and assess international-mindedness and to understand related challenges. Additionally, the researchers aimed to identify promising practice in developing and assessing international-mindedness.
