- Summary:
- Fueled by globalization, economic development, and increased trade between different countries, the number of international schools has increased dramatically in recent decades. International schools serve an important function in education by promoting the development of students who are better suited to handle the demands of an increasingly globalized and interconnected world. This research identifies three main traits that international schools socialize in their students: multiculturalism/international connectedness, global citizenship and community engagement, and philosophy of meritocratic ideals. Utilizing Bourdieu and Coleman's theories about social and cultural capital, this case study analyzes how these traits are taught and transmitted at four international schools in Amman, Jordan. Research methods include ethnographic research as well as the review of interview data and administrative records.
