Abstract
To explore the intrinsic relationship and influencing factors between teachers' attitudes toward educational internationalization and their readiness for integrating global perspectives into curricula in preschool education, this study took 58 teachers from the Affiliated Kindergarten of Jinan Preschool Education College as research subjects. A descriptive, comparative, and correlational research method was adopted, with data collected through a self-designed questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS. The results showed that teachers held a positive attitude toward educational internationalization (overall mean = 2.90) and their readiness for integrating global perspectives into curricula was above the medium level (overall mean = 2.93). Demographic variables such as age, gender, educational attainment, teaching experience, and type of training attended had no significant impact on teachers' attitudes and readiness. Two attitudinal dimensions—openness to cross-cultural perspectives and adaptability to international teaching methods—were significantly positively correlated with readiness (p<0.05), while the correlation between overall attitude and overall readiness was not significant (r=0.098, p=0.465). The study reveals that targeted professional development, resource support, and collaborative mechanisms are needed to promote the transformation of teachers' attitudes into practice, and a global curriculum integration training program is proposed accordingly.
