Abstract
Four major research aspects, namely (1) educational content, (2) motivation and satisfaction, (3) wellness (flourishing, resilience and grit), and (4) satisfaction in career development, were examined. Based on an internet-based questionnaire survey of Japanese and international alumni in a domestic university in the western part of Japan, relations among them were statistically analyzed. In this research, the building of an appropriate hypothesis was highlighted, rather than rigorous hypothesis testing. The results showed that international alumni appreciated educational content more positively, had higher resilience and grit, and showed higher satisfaction in career development after their graduation. Based on these results, some suggestions were made regarding effective multicultural education strategies and career development for Japanese and international university students.
