Abstract

Abstract

This paper adopts Appiah’s “Rooted Cosmopolitanism” as the theoretical lens, surveying university students enrolled in the “Youth Global Competence Development Program” in 2023 via questionnaire to investigate the structural characteristics of global competence and the mechanisms through which learning engagement influences its development, thereby providing empirical support for constructing a global competence development framework with Chinese characteristics. Through exploratory factor analysis, three distinct factors were extracted, namely Glocal Responsibility, Global Competence Core, and Intention for International Mobility, and it was found that items tapping local identity and macro-level global responsibility loaded onto a single factor, lending empirical support to the applicability of rooted cosmopolitanism in the Chinese context. Through multiple regression analysis, the results showed that classroom participation exerted a more prominent influence on the knowledge-and-skill dimension and the behavioral-intention dimension, while extracurricular learning engagement exerted a more prominent influence on the value-oriented dimension, and neither gender nor grade exhibited statistically significant effects on any dimension.
