A major cluster of economic engines that have changed Asian higher education, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan have all developed high-income societies as well as world-class universities which linked local “knowledge economies” to global science and created hubs for international collaborations and mobility. However, there has been limited analysis of interdependencies between the rise of world-class universities and changes in the flows of international talent. This paper elaborates on the concept of higher education internationalization that aims at enhancing geopolitical equity in global mobility and re-positioning local students for improved access to the world-class excellence. The paper compares key themes and patterns that define the Tiger societies’ unique positions in the field of global higher education.

Goal: To develop and experimentally test an interactive technique for the diagnosis and control of tactical thinking volleyball players of different ages.Materials and Methods. The following scientific methods were used during the research: analysis, synthesis, systematization of scientific and science-method literature, publication, computer testing of psycho-physiological functions. The research was conducted on the SC “Sumykhimprom” base, Sumy city, the participant of Ukraine Championships among Super League teams and “SumDU” VC, Sumy city, a volleyball team on the base of Sumy State University, a representative of Ukraine Championships among the teams of Higher League. The study involved 42 players of different sports categories from youth to masters of sports and in terms at the age of 14-34 participated in the research. Results. The players 14-15 age are found to have 12,91±1,71% index of tactic thinking in offense and 14,16±0,83% – in defense. Volleyball players aged 16-17 age are found to have 23,16±1,41% index of tactic thinking in offense and 22,44±1,61% – in defense. Volleyball players aged 18-19  age are found to have 39,44±1,75% index of tactic thinking in offense and 38,33±2,35% – in defense that differ reliably from the indexes of volleyball players of 16-17 age  (р<0.05). Volleyball players aged 20-22 age are found to have 57±2% index of tactic thinking in offense and 56±1,28%  – in defense that differ reliably from the indexes of volleyball players of 18-19 age  (р<0.05). Volleyball players aged 24 and older are found to have 64,44±1,27 % index of tactic thinking in offense and 59,27±2,13% – in defense. Conclusions. These features of tactical thinking volleyball players of all ages in offense and in defense is primarily due to the difference of playing experience and different levels of competitive activity.

Issues related to open access to scientific publications and the reuse of research data concern research actors, academic communities and society as a whole. Many countries have mobilised themselves around these issues in order to establish policies in favour of the opening up of science. France is both a promoter and coordinator of open science at national and European level. This country has also expressed its commitment at the international level by joining world-class initiatives and coalitions. Faced with the power of certain private players in the publishing market, France insists on its current position: the aim is not to destroy them but rather not to be totally dependent on them. This communication proposes to take France as an example to complement and reinforce the commitment of certain countries to the Open Science movement.

The research aimed at describing Enlgish literacy competency of students, including information literacy. The rational of this research is taken from the vision of Universitas Negeri Medan which is planning to be a world class university. This educational institution which mostly supplies teachers should prepare students the better literacy competency. The first step to develop the competency is to do mapping about English literacy competency of students, including information literacy based on five information literacy standard of Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) and The Australian and New Zealeand Institute for Information Literacy (ANZIL). The method used in the mapping is mixed methodology, qualitative and quantitative. The data of the research is  157 students from first and second semester of Indonesian letters Department. The tests done are reading, speaking, listening, speaking and writing, including students competency in accessing and understanding infromation in the internet. The result shows that English/information literacy competency of students vary (60 % low, 30%  medium, and 10 % high). There fore, it is necessary to do some efforts to improve English literacy competency of students at the Department of Indonesian Letters Faculty of Language and Arts Universitas Negeri Medan.

The launch of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Community in December 2015 is expected to accelerate structural transformation in Southeast Asia. It is also an initiative that shifts the landscape of higher education in Southeast Asia, which needs to meet the challenges posed by the process of regionalization of higher education. Based on the review of theoretical and conceptual works on regionalization in higher education, a broader scope of regional cooperation in higher education in Southeast Asia is suggested. Such broader scope is enable to survey the main actors (stakeholders) engaged in regional cooperation in higher education in Southeast Asia at multiple levels of cooperation: universities/higher education institutions (HEIs); government/intergovernmental cooperation; and intra-/interregional cooperation. Furthermore, two priority areas for harmonization in higher education, namely, quality assurance (QA) and credit transfer, are highlighted as particular forms of regional cooperation. Both internal and external QA systems are explained. In particular, the Academic Credit Transfer Framework for Asia (ACTFA) is introduced, which would serve as a main framework for credit transfer for Southeast Asia, by embracing credit transfer system/scheme which exist in Southeast Asia. In lieu of conclusion, main actors (stakeholders) including their mechanisms to engage in regional cooperation in higher education are summarized according to functions such as capacity building, credit transfer, grading, student mobility, mutual recognition, qualification framework, and quality assurance. Future directions in regional cooperation are suggested to pave the way towards the creation of a “common space” in higher education in Southeast Asia, or eventually the Southeast Asian Higher Education Area (SEAHEA), by developing and adapting common rules, standards, guidelines, and frameworks to be applicable to Southeast Asia.

The objectives and the core elements of the European Course Credit Transfer System (ECTS) are briefly described. ECTS is a tool to manage student mobility as it facilitates transparency, academic recognition, and commitment of the student and involved institutions. The impact on student mobility and teaching after implementation of ECTS at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is reported. The ratio of guest students attending advanced environmental engineering courses at DTU increased from 7 percent of class to almost 50 percent over a three-year period. The number of DTU students studying abroad was also affected by the implementation of ECTS in combination with DTU's additional internationalisation activities. In 1998 DTU achieved balance between the inflow and outflow of students.

PurposeIncreasing flexibility and student mobility are among the most important objectives of today’s universities. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effects of student exchange process (SEP) on a campus management system (CMS), compare different models and recommend an improvement handling transfer process.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive literature review of how credit transfer is handled in today’s CMS was conducted to understand the information management methods used in the student transfer process. On this basis, a flexible task-based system design is recommended to facilitate the transfer of educational gains between universities. For evaluating the effectiveness of different system designs in the SEP, the duration of information processing process steps was measured quantitatively via on-site observations and user interview in a university’s horizontal, vertical and the Erasmus student exchange (SE) data.FindingsBuilding a flexible system design based on a loosely coupled mapping between curriculum and educational activities, and increasing the self-management capabilities of a student will facilitate managing SE data in an integrated environment and reduce the university staff’s workload considerably.Originality/valueTo the author’s knowledge, this is the first study making quantitatively measurement and comparison of different credit transfer methods of CMSs. Based on this result, the authors have recommended a new flexible method that supports increasing a student’s self-administration capabilities, reducing the workload of university staff, and contributes academic mobility.
