Download or read book Elite Education and Internationalisation written by Claire Maxwell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers both a theoretical and empirical examination of elite education, at all stages from the early years to university level. The book explores the various manifestations of internationalisation of education; the implications of these for national education systems; the formation and re-articulation of elite forms of education locally and globally; and how these facilitate the reproduction or disruption of processes of inequality. The collection critically considers these questions by drawing on contributions from around the world, and focuses on how internationalisation processes shape the various stages of the education system – from early years settings to higher education – in oftentimes quite different ways. At the same time, by engaging with the issues through a range of theoretical lenses, the book invites readers to consider in greater depth the various ways we can come to understand how processes of internationalisation are both embedding but also at times destabilising the formation and purpose of elite education provision and potentially the configuration of elite groups themselves. The book will be relevant to academics, researchers, students, policymakers and educators working in or on the field of ‘education’ across the world.

Download or read book European Higher Education Area The Impact of Past and Future Policies written by Adrian Curaj and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the major outcomes of the third edition of the Future of Higher Education – Bologna Process Researchers Conference (FOHE-BPRC 3) which was held on 27-29 November 2017. It acknowledges the importance of a continued dialogue between researchers and decision-makers and benefits from the experience already acquired, this way enabling the higher education community to bring its input into the 2018-2020 European Higher Education Area (EHEA) priorities. The Future of Higher Education – Bologna Process Researchers Conference (FOHE-BPRC) has already established itself as a landmark in the European higher education environment. The two previous editions (17-19 October 2011, 24-26 November 2014), with approximately 200 European and international participants each, covering more than 50 countries each, were organized prior to the Ministerial Conferences, thus encouraging a consistent dialogue between researchers and policy makers. The main conclusions of the FOHE Conferences were presented at the EHEA Ministerial Conferences (2012 and 2015), in order to make the voice of researchers better heard by European policy and decision makers. This volume is dedicated to continuing the collection of evidence and research-based policymaking and further narrowing the gap between policy and research within the EHEA and broader global contexts. It aims to identify the research areas that require more attention prior to the anniversary 2020 EHEA Ministerial Conference, with an emphasis on the new issues on rise in the academic and educational community. This book gives a platform for discussion on key issues between researchers, various direct higher education actors, decision-makers, and the wider public.

Download or read book Internationalization of Higher Education written by H Vinod Bhat and published by Manipal Universal Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobilities of scholars seeking knowledge has been a part of the university ideal for centuries. History holds testimony to the fact that these mobilities have also altered the lives of people in different regions. Universities have played pivotal role in the movement of people across borders and the resultant transformation of societies due to transcultural interactions. In this book, the editors have brought together ideas on the changing dynamics of these mobilities of scholars and interconnectedness of higher education institutions in today’s world. Attempt is also made to record the implications of these international collaborations in knowledge generation and dissemination on the educational ecology. The notion of educational ecology is explored through the articles in the book to comprehend the power play that exists in the dimension and the direction of internationalization of higher education. All this is done with a hope that opening up of education to global opportunities may, over a period of time, lead to equitable distribution of opportunities worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the era of globalization since the 1990s, international cooperation has become one of the most challenging topics of debate and research in higher education. This book attempts to provide scientific evidence on the debates and different types of internationalization found in higher education from a Mexican point of view. It identifies German and Mexican partnership collaborations in institutions of higher education as well as the experiences of German and Mexican university personnel involved in educational projects. The findings are based on qualitative research using documentary evidence, semi-structured expert interviews and qualitative content analysis. The study encompasses three levels. At the macro level, internationalization of higher education is discussed in a general way but with a focus on the Mexican situation, presenting a typology of prevailing types of internationalization. The meso level includes a secondary analysis of official data on the bilateral relations between German and Mexican institutions of higher education. The micro level presents a case study of two particular university collaborations using the experiences of those involved in both countries. Laura Patricia Cruz Ruiz (born 1972 in Chiapas, Mexico) studied in the field of education at the Business and Pedagogical Development University (UNIVDEP) in Mexico City, where she received her Master Degree (M.A.) in 2008. She has worked at the Mexican Secretariat of Health and Education as well as in the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT), from which, in 2010, she obtained a scholarship for her doctoral studies in Germany.

This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, University of Augsburg, language: English, abstract: Ever thought about a semester abroad? Which student has never been asked this question or never asked himself? In our increasingly globalized world, it has become a matter of course that even undergraduate education is often international in nature. Learning and improving another language, getting to know other cultures and versatile teaching styles but also challenging flexibility and adaptability to new environments are elementary parts of a stay abroad. Especially these points are interesting aspects on which international and globalized companies put a lot of emphasis when someone is applying for a job. These versatile advantages for the students, research teachers and future employers are desired by the educational institution university from completely different aspects. This is because the internationalization rate of an educational institution is a very special measurement figure in the global comparison of higher education institutions. The attractiveness factor of universities can be determined by a high ratio of international students. An increase in the quota results in a positive response from potential international students, as they explicitly look for an educational institution that meets their wishes for international exchange opportunities. This attraction factor, in turn, increases the internationalization rate, potentially leading students to choose the more internationalized higher education institution in the future. The partnership of universities is a very enriching factor for the exchange between lecturers as well as between students for the universities. The partnership of universities is a very enriching factor for the exchange between lecturers as well as between students for the universities. Once cross-university partnerships exist or have been established, it is straightforward for higher education institutions to create an attractive offer for international students. In order to achieve these goals of universities to attract international students, various internationalization strategies exist worldwide. Although these cannot be captured in their completeness in students' individual decisions, they contribute strongly to the decision-making process.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Applied Geography, grade: 2,7, University of Queensland, course: Communication for Business, language: English, abstract: Nowadays, an international education becomes more and more important. Young graduates are required to be flexible, well educated as well as international skilled. This may be the reason which lets people strive for an international education. To outline the importance Germany and USA will be compared to the reasons of gaining an education internationally. The internationality of an education system in a country can be measured in different ways, e.g. how many people studying abroad, the student’s language skills, foreign students enrolled and many more (International Educator, 2006: 47). To demarcate multitude of influences, the focus will be on the willingness of students to study abroad. The reasons which influence this willingness can be government influence, school system/university influence and the culture.

This book was released on 2010-01-18 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg ; Rheinbach, language: English, abstract: The higher education industry nowadays is a multibillion dollar business and even expected to grow in the future. Higher education institutions of the Anglophone countries have been very successful in the past decades in progressing towards internationalization. As others for instance German institutions lag behind, it could be very interesting to take a look at the higher education industry of countries like the U.S. and Canada. The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework which serves for a classification of different forms of internationalization in the higher education industry in the U.S. and Canada. Furthermore some important aspects and a checklist will be added to give the reader a solid overview of certain conditions for an internationalization strategy. It addresses people which are interested in the higher education industry, especially in the context of internationalization. For this reason, it is designed for people, who are working in the higher education industry as well as students. At the beginning there will be a short introduction into higher education of both countries as the definition of higher education differs from country to country. Subsequently the meaning of the term internationalization will be described. Having clarified the meaning, rationales for internationalization are given both at the national and institutional level. In the context of internationalization, the paper provides statistical data of the higher education industry of both countries, focusing on the effect of internationalization on the economy. After this profound information, the paper enters the main part of the topic. A framework is described, which serves to classify the different forms of internationalization in the US and Canada. In addition the process of internationalization in case of the New York University and its new ways in Abu Dhabi are specified in form of a case study. A list of aspects is provided to support managers in their approach to develop a successful internationalization strategy. Finally the paper will be summarized and completed by a final conclusion.
