This chapter aims to critique the methodologies of studies conducted in the field of the internationalization of higher education. The authors of this chapter selected nine articles and presented the commonalities between them and how their tools determined the findings. The authors first evaluated three articles that implemented a qualitative approach. Then they evaluated three articles that implemented a quantitative approach. Finally, the authors examined studies investigating higher education's internationalization through a mixed-method approach. The authors provide critiques, guidance, and insights into the procedural correctness on how the selected articles could be conducted better in the future.

Unlike MOOC platforms such as Coursera or edX, which typically partner with institutions of higher education, online knowledge marketplaces allow anyone to broadcast courses and charge for them. In this article, we investigate, through a mixed-method approach, the motivations and strategies of the instructors of Udemy and Skillshare. Semi-structured interviews and a quantitative analysis of the characteristics of Skillshare’s courses, obtained using a Web scraper, suggest that while a significant proportion of the marketplace’s instructors are outreach driven, the majority are income driven. They develop strategies to maximize their revenues, notably by adapting the characteristics of their courses, such as the number of videos, to the business model of the platform. Courses are shorter on Skillshare than on Udemy, where instructors’ incomes are proportional to the number of registrations. We hypothesize that the latter platform’s business model incentivizes instructors to create longer courses in order to attract wider audiences.

True Experiment

Multilingualism is the ability to use several languages with equal fluency by an individual. It has been seen to have various effects on one’s academic performance which is connected to reading speed. Through a two-part, mixed-method approach that consisted of a survey related to multilingualism and true experiment (an online reading speed quiz), data was collected from adults ages 30-59 in the United States. Both monolinguals and multilinguals participated in order to determine the effects multilingualism has on reading speed. Upon analyzing the reading speed times of the participants, it was found that multilingualism does not have a significant impact on individuals’ reading speed when compared to monolinguals. This study demonstrates that multilingualism may not be the most critical factor affecting academic performance. Among broader implications, a change in education systems to be geared toward advancing reading speed could be highly beneficial.

Cheating in academics has been on the increase and it reflects a lack of integrity on the part of students. If no efforts are made to prevent academic misconduct/dishonesty, it will contribute to the image and standing of higher education institutions (HEIs). Cheating is not only an ethical concern, but it also leads to lesser knowledge and competencies acquisition. Equally, when students cheat the faculty feel cheated and efforts wasted. The resultant may be low morale of educators which is dangerous. Hence, HEIs are making efforts to reduce cheating and strengthen academic integrity (AI) through polices, rules, and procedures. Nevertheless, the focus seems to be more on bolting the stable after the horse has left or is largely administrative in nature. Therefore, adopting a mixed method approach the core of this chapter is to focus on preventing cheating through academic approach. The objective is to discuss how student-centered teaching strategies can prevent academic misconduct with focus on management disciple.
