Key Topics

In Education Abroad: Bridging Scholarship and Practice, co-editors Anthony C. Ogden, Bernhard Streitwieser, and Christof Van Mol set out to create a helpful desktop reference for new professionals and emerging scholars of international higher education. The purpose of the book is to synthesize existing research in the growing field of education abroad into one place and to set directions for future research. The book analyzes five key topics: participation, programming, student outcomes, institutional outcomes, and societal outcomes. Each topic is divided into subtopics, identifying for each subtopic existing literature, implications for practice, and areas of needed further study. As relative newcomers to the field of international education ourselves, we overall found it to be approachable and accessible.

The paper analyzes measures adopted by the Russian Federation on internationalization and globalization of the higher education system, its integration into the international scientific and education area. One of the initiatives of the authorities of the Russian Federation in this direction is Project 5-100, designed to increase the competitiveness of both a selected group of universities and the Russian higher education system as a whole. Among the successful practices of Project 5-100, one can identify the presentation of a single stand of participating universities at the international education exhibitions APAIE, EAIE, NAFSA. Within this study, we explore the cooperation of the universities participating in Project 5-100 with potential international partners at global educational exhibitions by means of network analysis with graphs. The effectiveness of such cooperation from the point of view of integration of the universities from this group into the international higher education area is determined through estimations of the usefulness of participation in such events made by the universities and through scientometric analysis. As a result of this study, it was revealed that active participation in international educational exhibitions including negotiating, establishing contacts with international partners, contributes significantly to the promotion of the universities participating in Project 5-100 in the international arena.

Recent Policy

International higher education has become a major income producer for Australia for more than two decades. The prime goal of internationalization was moneymaking, which resulted in creating problems in ethics, quality, and academic integrity. The recent policy change in reducing international students has affected institutions that had been too dependent upon high proportions of international enrollments. All of this is a predictable outcome of commercialism shaping international education.

Careful Management

As education becomes accepted as a service like any other, the market for trade of education services has developed significantly, with a diversity of providers competing to provide education outside their national boundaries. As well as providing an international experience to students, this can facilitate the sharing of expertise among students, educators, and policy makers who can learn from successes in other countries. This appears to be particularly important in the education market for software engineers and computing professionals, where the knowledge base is rapidly evolving. This requires, however, careful management of the service provision, which results in increased focus on quality assurance. Assuring quality is made difficult by many factors, some shared with quality assurance of education in general, and others unique to the international context. We present seven factors that represent the core challenges for the quality assurance of international higher education, and as such, represent a valuable tool for computing educators and others either currently involved in, or intending to become involved in, the international education market.

Abstract This is a systematic literature review of the internationalization of higher education in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative (bri). Following the systematic literature review methods, the author selected eight English and 29 Chinese studies in the academic databases. Through an inductive thematic analysis, the author synthesized five primary themes: (a) philosophical and theoretical foundations of bri education; (b) introduction of higher education development in bri countries; (c) higher education cooperation between China and bri countries; (d) international higher education and economic development; and (e) international student education management. The goal of this review is to underline new opportunities and challenges of bri education discussed within the literature and to present how the research can inform scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of international higher education. It called for more joint research among Chinese scholars and overseas scholars in bri countries. In terms of the future research direction, the author suggested more research on the theoretical exploration and empirical investigation in international higher education within the context of bri.
