This study provides an account of the conceptualization of international-mindedness and existing assessment instruments and further works toward the development of an interpretation of international-mindedness that is relevant to current situations of 21st century education. The study involves research in four areas: 1) an analysis of official IB documents to describe and make inferences about international- mindedness in the IB, 2) a comprehensive literature review on international-mindedness and other related constructs, 3) an examination of models based on contemporary theories, issues and tools in the field, and 4) the identification of instruments for assessing international-mindedness within the context of grade K-12 education worldwide.
