International Talent Training in Top American Universities:The Paradigm and Its Shift
International talent training is an important trend in the development of higher education in the era of globalization,and top universities in the United States have accumulated mature experience in this respect.Based on Thomas Kuhn's theory of paradigm shifts,the paradigm for international talent training in top universities in the United States is a package model for international talent training accepted by both researchers and practitioners,and it covers concepts,value,and technology.Driven by such entities as religious groups,individuals,social organizations,governments,and universities,this paradigm went through several stages:pre-paradigm,paradigm formation,crisis and transition.In terms of values,the paradigm takes root in national interests and helps to train international talents across the globe in the new era;in terms of the framework of the model,governments,society and higher education institutions make more concerted efforts to train international talents;in terms of shared examples,they highlight the training of international talents integrating professional abilities and global competences.China's"double world-class"universities can critically draw on the experience from this paradigm,and train international talents from a holistic and developmental perspective.
