Abstract

Quality education is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations, and the integration of international education into the teaching environment is a vision shared by educational institutions today. This integration aims to equip students with a global perspective and respect for diverse cultures. To promote the cultivation of international talent and enable students to better align with global standards, the Ministry of Education in Taiwan has issued the “White Paper 2.0 on International Education for Primary and Secondary Schools” as a policy guideline for implementing international education, reflecting a commitment to adapting to the trends of globalization. This study employs a survey method to examine the changes in students’ international literacy and learning attitudes after engaging in international education. Additionally, the study explores the predictive power of these two factors to assess whether the integration of international education contributes to transforming students’ perspectives and attitudes. The analysis reveals that international education enhances students’ international literacy and learning attitudes. Furthermore, the level of international literacy can predict the quality of students’ learning attitudes, confirming that integrating international education into curricula and environments is indeed essential for achieving the goal of sustainable development.
