Enhancing the educational experience and social connectedness for international students is the responsibility of different involved parties among whom international students themselves and host institutions play a key role. However, the question of how the condition of cross-border mobility has shaped and re-shaped international students’ responsibility towards the home and host country and other social relationships that have been formed via their mobility experiences is often neglected. This paper examines the social nature of international students’ responsibility. It is derived from a research project funded by the Australian Research Council that includes fieldwork and semi-structured interviews with 155 staff and international students from 25 institutions in Australia over 4 years. Using positioning theory as a conceptual framework, the study shows that it is important to take into account the tangible aspects of transnational mobility in understanding international student responsibility rather than merely locating their responsibility in simple cultural, personal or institutional parameters. The study suggests the important roles of host institutions and community in creating conducive conditions and opportunities for international students to exercise responsibility as social members and intercultural learners. Enhancing student social responsibility and capacity for enacting responsibility is essential for nurturing meaningful transnational citizenship. 相似文献

Within the context of broad literature on cross-border flows for higher education, this article examines the distinctive case
of mainland Chinese students in Hong Kong and Macau. These territories are a sort of bridge between the fully domestic and
the fully international. Hong Kong and Macau higher education plays a dual role, as a destination in itself for higher education
and as a stepping-stone for students’ further international development. Patterns in Hong Kong are slightly different from
those in Macau, and the territories may thus be usefully compared with each other as well as taken as a pair for comparison
with other parts of the world. The paper begins by noting the literature on the ways that push and pull factors influence
student mobility, and then turns to motivations in pursuit of academic and professional growth, economic benefit, individual
internationalisation, and enhanced social status. The paper shows that flows of mainland Chinese students are driven by both
excess and differentiated demand. Analysis of the distinctive features of this pair of territories adds to wider conceptual
understanding of the nature of cross-border flows for higher education. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Higher education in Asia is massifying at an exceptional pace and scale. In this paper, I ask how practices and discourses which inform the internationalization of Singapore’s higher education can provide opportunities for developing cosmopolitan learning that it claims to provide. Cosmopolitan learning is closely related to cross-border student mobility and plays an important role in shaping the international students’ identities, aspirations and worldviews. Based on a recent study in Singapore of a group of international students from various parts of Asia and Europe, this paper attempts to bring the theoretical and grounded realities of cosmopolitan learning in an Asian context into the fore. The aim of the paper is to provide a useful frame for rethinking the purpose of international education for cosmopolitan learning in an increasingly interconnected world that is strewn with ambivalence, and what that means in the context of Singapore as an erudite nation-state critical to building Asian education hub aspirations. 相似文献

Mobility as ‘becoming’: a Bourdieuian analysis of the factors shaping international student mobility
Ly Thi Tran 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2016,37(8):1268-1289
This paper unpacks the meanings and implications of the mobility of international students in vocational education – an under-researched group in the field of international education. This four-year study found that transnational mobility is regarded as a resourceful vehicle to help international students ‘become’ the kind of person they want to be. The paper justifies the value of re-conceptualising student mobility as a process of ‘becoming’. Mobility as ‘becoming’ encompasses students’ aspirations for educational, social, personal and professional development. Theorising mobility as ‘becoming’ captures international students’ lived realities and has the potential to facilitate the re-imagining of international student mobility with new outlooks. By theorising mobility as ‘becoming’, this research suggests the importance of drawing on the integrated and transformative nature of Bourdieu’s forms of capital in understanding the logics and practice of the social field – international student mobility. 相似文献

Higher education institutions are competing with one another to recruit students. As a major developing country with emphasis on human capital development, China has the largest group of tertiary students studying locally and aboard, including cross-border students in the Greater China region. This paper examines the destination choice of cross-border Chinese students. The empirical findings reveal that the most important attributes are programme reputation, recognition of university qualifications, availability of course information, safety and cost of living in the host cities. Importance-performance analysis was applied to the survey data. Results show that students are satisfied with the safety aspect, but not with the cost of living. Regression analysis indicates that student satisfaction was significantly affected by the perceived value of the programme, followed by accessibility. These findings can help improve the quality of education services of higher education administration by addressing the perceptions and concerns of cross-border Chinese students. 相似文献

International student destination choice: the influence of home campus experience on the decision to consider branch campuses 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Previous research has found that the country and institution choices of international students are greatly influenced by recommendations they receive from others who have experience of undertaking higher education overseas. For Western universities, it is of utmost importance to satisfy their international students, who can then encourage the next generation of international students to attend those same institutions. However, student satisfaction is not the only factor at play. Using a framework of ‘push and pull’ factors, rooted in the international student choice literature, this exploratory study investigates the determinants of destination choice of international students who decided to study at a university in the UK and examines their attitudes toward international branch campuses. The survey results and analyses suggest that overseas campuses could pose a considerable threat to home campuses in the competition for international students in the future. 相似文献

Abstract Feedback from educators in England, Scotland, and the Republic of Ireland was obtained regarding the performance of U.S. student teachers in the schools of these nations. Reported in this paper are the educators' observations and beliefs pertaining to topics such as the professional and cultural/social strengths of U.S. student teachers; major cultural/social ‘mistakes’ often made by U.S. student teachers; ways in which they could better prepare for classroom teaching assignments in overseas schools; goals motivating them to seek placements in overseas schools; and ways in which the foreign pupils benefitted from the U.S. student teachers. Based on the feedback, recommendations are offered to student participants and university/college faculty for the improvement of teaching experiences in overseas nations. In addition, the need for internationalizing teacher education programs in the United States is recognized. 相似文献

Cross-border student migration has significant implications for host communities in terms of academic, financial and social consequences. In light of Hong Kong’s thirst for human resources, this paper reports on a study that interpreted the graduation plans of a group of “elite” mainland Chinese undergraduates in a publicly funded university. To fully appreciate the complexity of the participants’ graduation plans, the study examined their perceived behavioural control, attitudes towards the students remaining in Hong Kong upon graduation and subjective norms as mediated by socio-contextual conditions. The analysis revealed the participants’ ambivalent attitudes towards Hong Kong in their careers and life pursuits beyond graduation; most of them regarded it as a transition point rather than a destination for their adventures. These findings suggest that the participants had developed intercultural personhoods and regarded educational efforts as a means to acquire cultural capital for their transnational aspirations. They highlight the necessity for institutions and governments to foster and sustain close ties between cross-border students, as represented by the participants of this study, and local students. These efforts will not only develop local students’ intercultural competence but they also help these globally mobile students acquire social capital locally, which facilitates their smooth integration into host communities and encourages them contribute to the communities as part of their globally expanding social networks. 相似文献

The mobility of African students beyond national territories has become common worldwide. However, the underlying reasons motivating students to leave their countries of origin in pursuit of higher education in other developing nations and why these factors are important have not been fully explored. This study attempts to explore why and how African students travel to the United Arab Emirates for higher education. A push-pull factor theory of the international student’s choice of destination is developed to identify factors influencing the choices made by these students. The analytic hierarchy process is used to examine the relative importance of these factors. The findings of this quantitative study indicate that learning environment and geographic proximity are the two most important factors for African students, while other factors have a moderate impact. The findings contribute to a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the needs and choices of existing and potential students from this continent, with a view to applying a segmentation approach to attract these students. 相似文献

以社会流动与文化资本为理论基础,基于问卷调查所得数据,采用描述性统计与Logistic回归等分析方法,对助学贷款的社会流动功用进行了实证分析。研究发现,随着高等教育费用的快速增长,经济资本成为个体获得文化资本的必要条件之一,经济资本匮乏的贫困生获取文化资本时,在数量与质量两方面都处于劣势;但绝大多数贫困生获得助学贷款后,打破经济资本拥有不足对其文化资本追逐活动的制约,获得数量更多、质量更高的文化资本,从而在社会地位市场的竞争中具有更强的竞争力。助学贷款通过文化资本这条路径,间接发挥着促进贫困生向上社会流动的功用。为了更好发挥助学贷款的社会流动功用,研究最后提出了加快助学贷自身发展等一系列的政策建议。 相似文献

This is a documentary study of education abroad policy in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) between 1978 and 2009. By examining
the dynamics underpinning the PRC state’s efforts to shape the flow of Chinese students and scholars from and into China,
this article reveals the major strategies that have enabled education abroad to become a source of brain gain. It argues that
China’s brain gain strategies feature three characteristics: a proactive diplomatic approach to international educational
relations; strategic dependence on foreign higher education resources and a decentralized economic mechanism to raise foreign-trained
human capital. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of Chinese experience for our understanding of the complex
and dynamic relations between the state, the market, universities and international relations as relating to cross-border
academic mobility, international educational relations, and national development in a globalizing world. 相似文献

The world’s three million cross-border international students are located in a ‘gray zone’ of regulation with incomplete human
rights, security and capabilities. Like other mobile persons such as short-term business and labour entrants, and refugees,
students located on foreign soil do not enjoy the same protections and entitlements as do citizens. International students
are affected by two different national regulatory regimes, in the nations of citizenship and of education. But they are fully
covered by neither. Their position is vulnerable and uncertain, mediated by non-citizen status and the related facts of cultural
difference, information asymmetry and communication difficulties. Referring to research on international education in Australia,
which has the world’s fifth largest international student population, the article focuses on the manner in which the subordinated
outsider status of international students magnifies the problems they face. It considers what might be done to enable them
to access comprehensive protections, empowerment and human rights as defined in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 相似文献

ABSTRACTCommunity colleges have long been recognized as pivotal institutions for broadening educational opportunity for a variety of marginalized populations, including first-generation students. These institutions are also an important starting point for students desiring to eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics discipline. Our qualitative study explores the experiences of 15 first-generation community college transfer students majoring in engineering. We use the theory of community cultural wealth and the concepts of experiential capital and transfer student capital as lenses for analyzing and interpreting our semistructured interview data and for formulating recommendations to improve the transfer experiences and educational outcomes of this population. This sample of students enacted several types of community cultural wealth and experiential capital when navigating the engineering transfer pathway and in their engineering studies. They were less likely to enact the elements of transfer student capital, however. Instead, our results indicate that the participants attribute their successful transitions to their self-motivation and initiative associated with community cultural wealth and experiential capital, rather than institutional interventions associated with transfer student capital. We conclude with recommendations for strengthening institutional programs directed at first-generation engineering transfer students. 相似文献

In this paper we examine the perceptions of ERASMUS agents’ of Polish students’ participation in the EP. We provide a Bourdieusian analyse of the cultural and social capital acquisition of students based on the qualitative data, collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with Erasmus agents, of a European research project. We argue that: Polish students’ participation in the EP has a positive impact on their academic achievement, cultural, social and linguistic capital, but, at the same time, it has a negative impact on degree completion of students as they get highly paid jobs, which prevent them from fully developing their cultural capital; ERASMUS Tourism has its value and place in the EP, because it provides students with the opportunity to develop their cultural, social and linguistic capital; and a Bourdieusian analysis of the experiences of ERASMUS students provides a better understanding of the impact student participation in the EP on their development. 相似文献

In January 2012, Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond announced a radical measure that would see every Scottish school student study a Scottish text from a prescribed list. In 2010, Michael Gove announced that ‘Our literature is the best in the world’ and that every pupil should study particular authors. The ‘cultural heritage’ model of English is increasingly dismissed by teachers and students However, it is this ‘cultural heritage’ model which is preserved in the discourse of politicians. This paper explores the role that literary heritage texts play in the discourse of education policy in the context of devolution in twenty-first century Britain and considers the drivers and differences which can be seen in England and Scotland. 相似文献

Building on international migration theories and the literature on the dynamics of student mobility, this study sketches a
two-dimensional framework and examines its utility to understand the rationales of in-bounding student mobility in Turkey.
The empirical part of the study was conducted with 331 international students studying in public universities of Turkey. The
results suggest that private rationales are prominent for students coming from Western and economically developed countries.
In contrast, economic and academic rationales are prominent for students coming from Eastern and economically developing countries.
The study suggests three insights which are instrumental in re-interpreting the position of the countries in the periphery
in international student mobility. First, the nature of cultural, political, and historical proximity between home and host
countries determines the size and direction of in-flowing student mobility in economically developing countries. Second, for
developing countries pre-departure pulling rationales at private level are more prominent than public rationales. Third, despite
the general trend that student mobility flows from economically less developed toward economically developed countries, this
study suggests that in the periphery there are regional hubs attracting students largely originating from other countries
of the periphery. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis article critiques international assessment of adult literacy using research findings from students completing a Māori tourism certificate who achieved significant gains in assessment. It is argued that the focus of literacy assessments potentially forces educators to narrow their teaching and learning approaches, manoeuvring them into teaching toward singular or convergent literacy. This leads to utilising teaching and learning strategies drawn from the cultural and social capital of the dominant culture, which is problematic for students without abundance of such capital.Blending Kaupapa Māori research theory with appreciative inquiry, research revealed that students made significant gains in assessment scores because their educators acknowledged and utilised ways in which they made sense and meaning of their world. Educators drew upon the social and cultural capital of students and engaged them as partners in culturally based teaching and learning processes. Relating to students’ multiple literacies, and the contexts with which they bring meaning to their world in this way, is referred to as drawing from divergent literacies.This study proposes a need to develop and research alternative ways for improving convergent literacy outcomes. It is suggested that multiple interventions using multi-modal and 360° approaches need to occur simultaneously for best outcomes. 相似文献

This paper explored the power dynamics between domestic and international students in the context of higher education in an Asian non-English speaking country, Korea. Despite increased international student mobility in recent years, little is known about the relationship dynamics among students from different countries, especially related to power issues. The findings in this study suggested that international students’ countries of origin and language of communication created different power statuses compared to Korean students by their empowerment and discrimination. Power differentials also existed among Korean students due to variations in their English ability to interact with international students. Conversely, international students’ attitudes and acceptance influenced Korean students’ attitudes toward them, irrespective of power differentials created by countries and language, as perceived by Korean students. The implications related to the recent trend of international student mobility are discussed. 相似文献
