The International Baccalaureate: International Education and Cultural Preservation.
Hayden, Mary C.; Wong, Cynthia S. D.
Educational Studies, v23 n3 p349-61 Nov 1997
Examines how well the International Baccalaureate (IB) achieves its aims of inculcating international attitudes while maintaining students' cultural identities. Finds that international attitudes may be more affected by the social environment of IB programs than by the curriculum; success at cultural maintenance varies by culture, with Western cultures being better supported.
