Abstract

The phenomenon of culture shock has some impacts on  foreigners (i.e. psychological impact and intellectual impact), especially for foreign students studying in a new country. This research  is aimed at figuring out the dominant aspects of culture shocks faced by the three Thai students studying at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang and how they cope with it. Descriptive-qualitative method was used in this research.To collect the data, the researchers used interview and questionnaire. Coding technique was used in analyzing the data. The results showed two dominant aspects of culture shocks found, namely: academic shocks (i.e teacher’s role and attitude, poorly organized program and classroom organization, and local students’ attitude). and social shocks (i.e.women-men relationship, community bonding, habits in social gathering). Generally, the three Thai students coped with the shock by preparing mental and psychology, as well as learning academic destination.
留学生的文化冲击&以就读于巴望大学的泰国留学生为例
文化冲击现象对外国人有一些影响(即心理影响和智力影响),尤其是对在新国家学习的外国学生。本研究旨在了解就读于巴望穆罕默德大学的三名泰国学生所面临的文化冲击的主要方面以及他们如何应对。本研究采用描述性定性方法。为了收集数据,研究人员使用了访谈和问卷调查。数据分析采用了编码技术。研究结果表明,文化冲击有两个主要方面,即:学术冲击(即教师的角色和态度、组织不力的课程和课堂组织以及当地学生的态度)。以及社会冲击(即男女关系、社区纽带、社交聚会习惯)。一般来说,三名泰国学生通过准备心理和心理学以及学习学术目的地来应对冲击。
