As the largest exporter of international students, how has China’s outbound mobility been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic? In the face of the risks and uncertainties brought by the pandemic, how do undergraduate graduates from elite Chinese universities respond and make corresponding decisions about mobility / non-mobility? This research attempts to analyse this issue based on the interviews conducted between January 2020 and March 2021 and a survey between December 2020 and February 2021. The theory framework of decision-making under uncertainty is used to inform the findings. This study finds that the pandemic has greatly increased the opportunity cost of studying abroad. However, due to the high sunk cost of the initial investment and the long-term institutional habitus and personal preferences that are difficult to change, the pandemic did not cause a significant impact on the willingness of elite college students to go abroad. Nevertheless, the pandemic has indeed brought some substantial impact. Some interviewees had to cancel or temporarily cancel their plans to go abroad. Under the conditions of the pandemic, elite college students’ understanding and resilience to risks and uncertainties differed by their social backgrounds. Elite college students from the disadvantaged class have significantly weaker preferences and ability to resist risks and are therefore more likely to give up their plans to go abroad. Lastly, we should combine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic with the changes in international relations (especially Sino-US relations) to fully understand the elite college students’ decision- making about mobility/non-mobility. (This keynote speech is based on the paper co-authored by Wenqin Shen, Yilin Chai, Ziyou Mo, Jing Feng, Kun Zhang, Feifei Gu, and Xueting Liu.) P a g e 4 Higher Education and COVID-19 Pandemic: Challenges and Responses PANEL 1 Utilising Video Annotation Tool to Enhance Preservice-Teachers’ Reflection Skills and Communication Competence through a Video-Based Learning Platform: A Blended Learning Pedagogy during COVID-19 Peter Yee Lap To Lingnan University, Hong Kong SAR This study investigated how peer comments made using a video annotation tool (VAT) through an online learning community improved student-teachers’ level of reflective thinking and communication competence. Eighty students from two classes of the course “Comprehensive School Guidance” participated in this study, and two videos for their tripartite practice on parent consultation are all recorded for self-evaluation and peer comments. Forty students were in the comparison class and provided general comments to their peers on the learning platform, while those in the experimental class used the VAT on the learning platform to provide comments to their peers. Two post-practice online questionnaires and reflective journal entries, which aim to measure communication competence and reflective thinking ability, were administered to the student-teachers after the first and second consultation practice. ANOVAs were conducted to examine whether students in the experimental (VAT) class improved their reflective thinking ability and communication competence more significantly than those in the comparison (non-VAT) class. The results showed that students in both the VAT and non-VAT classes had statistically higher scores for communication competence and reflective thinking in the second role-play practice. Students with the support of VAT, in comparison to those without, significantly improved their average reflective thinking ability. P a g e 5 Higher Education and COVID-19 Pandemic: Challenges and Responses PANEL 1 Exploring the Relationships between Taiwan Home-Return Students Self-Directed Learning and Employability Anxiety through Distance Learning: Depression from COVID-19 as a Mediator Louise Yi Ning Tsai National Chengchi University, Taiwan COVID-19 pandemic had an enormous impact on global education. It shifted student mobility from physical to the virtual mode along with the challenges and opportunities for teaching and learning. About 95% higher education institutes provided distance learning which has transformed student learning skills and access to technical tools during lockdowns. Students’ engagement was the main challenge to distance education in the COVID-19 era. Self-directed Learning (SDL), as the leading means of adult education, focused that a self-directed learner knows what to learn with autodidactic learning. Garrison (1997; 2003) explicated the significance and integrated self-management, self-monitoring and motivational learning into a comprehensive model, which supports understanding of adult students’ engagement and management

  • Assessing Hong Kong's Blueprint for Internationalising Higher Education1
    The International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives, 2012, 11(2), 81–102 ISSN 1443-1475 © 2012 www.iejcomparative.org Assessing Hong Kong’s blueprint for internationalising higher education1 David Skidmore Drake University This paper provides a critical assessment of the key recommendations for internationalising higher education in Hong Kong issued by the University Grants Committee in December 2010. Key topics include the rationale for internationalisation, the process by which internationalisation will be carried out, the proposal that Hong Kong aspire to become a regional “education hub,” the roles of English, Cantonese and Putongua in instruction and the impact of internationalisation on curriculum reform and student learning. In general, the report represents a missed opportunity to provide clear and compelling guidance to the university sector in Hong Kong regarding internationalisation. [Key words: internationalisation, globalisation, curriculum, Hong Kong] The internationalisation of higher education in Hong Kong has been quietly building steam at some institutions for more than a decade but has recently received new impetus and high-level attention. Internationalisation was the central focus of the report Aspirations for the higher education system in Hong Kong issued by the University Grants Committee (UGC) in December 2010 (UGC, 2010). The report recommended actions by the Hong Kong government and UGC-supported institutions of higher education in support of internationalisation. This article provides a critical assessment of relevant sections of the UGC report and its recommendations. While the spotlight that the UGC places on internationalisation is laudable, the approach suggested by its report is flawed. In particular, the UGC envisions a relatively top-down internationalisation process that threatens to stifle bottom-up innovation and choke off diversity at the level of individual institutions.
