Global Student Mobility Ⅲ
FLORA CHIA-I CHANG PRESIDENT TAMKANG UNIVERSITY 2014.10.28 Table of Contents Ⅰ. Global Trend Ⅱ. Global Student Mobility Ⅲ. Student Mobility in Taiwan Ⅳ. Prospects of Cooperation with Indonesia Ⅴ. Conclusion 1 Ⅰ. Global Trend The importance of study abroad as a key factor in affecting international understanding has been supported since the early 1930s. (Meras, 1932) Study abroad influences student learning and personal development. (Carsello and Creaser, 1976) Students cross borders studying is the single, most-important element of internationalization. (Altbach and Engberg, 2014) 3 Ⅰ. Global Trend Reasons: Obtaining knowledge and credentials unavailable or of poor quality at own universities. Gaining the prestige of a foreign degree. Gaining access abroad for career. Improve economic growth and global competitiveness. 4 2 Ⅰ. Global Trend Benefits of Study Abroad: Extra Perspectives on Academic Subjects. Better Proficiency in a Foreign Language. Larger Global Perspective, World-mindedness. More Experience in Personal Growth. Increased Awareness of National Identity. Stronger Interest in the Well-being of Other Nations. 5 Ⅰ. Global Trend The commercialization of international mobility: Successive budget cuts— foreign students became an alternative and growing source of revenue. The expansion of undergraduate mobility: A rapid decline in birth rate—encouragement of inbound foreign students to study as a solution. The ongoing commitment of Europe to student mobility: Erasmus+ program---By 2020, at least 20 percent of all

Knowledge Dissemination for Indonesian Dental Communities Through Telemedicine - a Report
International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 15, Issue 2, 2021 Knowledge Dissemination for Indonesian Dental Communities Through Telemedicine - A Report Aqsa Sjuhada Oki1, Shuji Shimizu2, Melissa Adiatman3, Miftakhul Cahyati4, 1Faculty of Dental Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya – Indonesia, 2Telemedicine Development Center of Asia (TEMDEC), International Medical Department, Kyushu University Hospital, Fukuoka – Japan, 3Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta – Indonesia, 4Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Brawijaya, Malang – Indonesia, 1 Email: [email protected] Knowledge dissemination in dental science is a routine activity required by dentists in Indonesia. Through scientific updates, dentists can increase their capacity and lead to the health service quality improvements. To gain quality knowledge dissemination, it often takes time and cost to attend scientific meetings, so we need a breakthrough to help with this problem. Since 2016 the Faculty of Dentistry, Airlangga University, in collaboration with the Telemedicine Development Center of Asia (TEMDEC) has initiated international dental telemedicine which is performed on a regular basis, featuring both national and overseas speakers to discuss particular topics. These activities are expected to support dentists to get knowledge updates easily, as they are available in video streaming. From the questionnaires, it was concluded that the dental telemedicine program brought the benefits of knowledge dissemination to Indonesian dental communities and improved the value of the institutions involved. Key words: telemedicine, dentistry Background Dissemination of dentistry is an important requirement for dentists in Indonesia to update and improve their scientific capacity. This increased capacity is strongly correlated with an increase in the quality of dental service.

TESOL International Journal 53
TESOL International Journal 53 Reading Comprehension in the TOEFL PBT: Which Sub-Skill deserves more Intensive Training? Elfiondri Universitas Bung Hatta Usman Kasim Universitas Syiah Kuala Faisal Mustafa Universitas Syiah Kuala Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Tomi Mandala Putra University of Queensland Abstract Studies have shown that reading comprehension is the most difficult section of the Paper-Based Test (PBT) TOEFL. Therefore, this research aimed to identify which sub-skill in reading comprehension poses the greatest challenges for the students and how this sub-skill correlates to other reading comprehension sub-skills. To achieve this purpose, this research utilized both qualitative and quantitative approaches. To collect the data, 33 advanced EFL undergraduate students and fresh graduates at Syiah Kuala University, Indonesia, were recruited to sit a PBT TOEFL reading comprehension test, comprising 50 multiple choice questions to be completed in 55 minutes. The data were analyzed in two stages. In the first stage, the analysis involved descriptive statistics to find out which subskill was more problematic. Futhermore, inferential statistics was used in the second stage using Kruskal- Wallis sum test and Spearman's correlation to seek significant evidence that each subskill is different from another and to find out how the most problematic subskill correlates to others. The results showed that the problems in reading comprehension were divided into three levels. Vocabulary was in level 1, which was the most problematic subskill, and level 2 consisted of the main idea, detail information, and inference. The least problematic subskill was reference,. i.e. level 3. In addition, vocabulary correlated to all other subskills except the main idea.

Indonesia Syiah Kuala University Development Project External Evaluator: Satoshi Ohira, Kazuhiro Takanashi (Keio University) Field Survey: February 2006 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan ・Banda Aceh (Project site) Indonesia ・ Map of project area Engineering department building constructed through the project 1.1. Background Established in 1962, Syiah Kuala University is the oldest national university in Nanggroe Aceh Darusallam Province (Aceh Province) and is the university with the highest level academic standards in Aceh. At the time of the appraisal in 1993, Syiah Kuala University had eight academic departments (agriculture, engineering, education, medicine, veterinary science, economics, law and basic science), over 15,000 students, and 835 faculty members. Teaching staffs of the University, particularly those in the agriculture and engineering departments, have played a central role in the development of the Aceh region. Without this university, reconstruction and development of the region, which was enormously damaged by the earthquake off the coast of Sumatra and the tsunami in its aftermath in 2004, would not have been possible. Staunchly opposed to Dutch colonial rule to the last moment, the Aceh region became, in 1956, the twenty-seventh province of Indonesia. Both as a Dutch colony and after Indonesia’s independence, the region lagged behind in development policies, and also was left behind in establishment of universities. Human resource development in graduating from the agricultural and engineering departments was strongly needed to facilitate the development of the Aceh region, endowed with rich natural resources. However, improving science-related departments, which needed experimental facilities and equipments, 1 couldn’t be carried out easily compared to the liberal arts departments.
