This paper suggests a revised framework for explaining, developing and assessing international mindedness (IM). A review of the literature – that presents initiatives, challenges, and debates regarding IM – concludes with an overview of selected conceptual frameworks that have been used to develop a shared understanding of IM. When the authors applied one of these frameworks in a previous empirical study, they found during data analysis that some aspects of the framework’s key pillars played a more supportive role and that other components of IM needed further identification. As a result, this paper proposes a revision of the framework that features intercultural competence and global engagement, and identifies more specific components of these attributes, namely knowledge, skills, dispositions, and agency. The paper includes another review of the literature to emphasise how these components are important for the development, implementation, and assessment of international mindedness.

国际意识：修订后的概念框架

本文提出了一个用于解释、发展和评估国际意识 (IM) 的修订框架。文献回顾——提出了关于 IM 的倡议、挑战和辩论——最后概述了用于发展对 IM 的共同理解的选定概念框架。当作者在之前的实证研究中应用其中一个框架时，他们在数据分析过程中发现，框架关键支柱的某些方面发挥了更大的支持作用，而 IM 的其他组成部分需要进一步确定。因此，本文建议修订以跨文化能力和全球参与为特征的框架，并确定这些属性的更具体组成部分，即知识、技能、性格和能动性。
