  • Higher Education Within Asean Connectivity
    Asia Pacific Studies Volume 2 No. 1/ January – June 2018 HIGHER EDUCATION WITHIN ASEAN CONNECTIVITY Yuliana R. Prasetyawati; Cornelia Alverina ¹Head of Centre For ASEAN Public Relation Studies, LSPR - Jakarta, Jl. K.H. Mas Mansyur Kav. 35 Sudirman Park, Central Jakarta, 10220, Indonesia ²Postgraduate Students, LSPR - Jakarta, Jl. K.H. Mas Mansyur Kav. 35 Sudirman Park, Central Jakarta, 10220, Indonesia ¹[email protected]; ²[email protected] Abstract ASEAN member countries are well aware of the importance of education as one of the decisive factors in developing a high quality of human resources. This is reflected in the inclusion of education in ASEAN socio- cultural cooperation dimension. This review will highlight the implementation of higher education in ASEAN connectivity described in five steps. Infrastructure connectivity makes the mobility of young people in ASEAN members become easier in pursuing education across ASEAN region. In addition, the improvement of facilities and infrastructure in educational institutions could support a conducive atmosphere in the teaching and learning process. Institutional connectivity could also develop human resources who are not only knowledgeable but also have compatible skills with industrial needs in ASEAN. In regional level, connectivity through ASEAN University Network will develop quality standards between AUN members which can be used as a benchmark standard of university quality in ASEAN. Young generation connectivity through students’ exchange program between many universities in ASEAN are not only for knowledge exchange but also to understand each other’s cultural diversity. Connectivity is the success key in building the ASEAN community. Connectivity plays a role in helping to reduce education gaps among ASEAN member countries.

  • 2Nd ASEAN University Network Regional Workshop on University
    2nd ASEAN University Network Regional Workshop on University Social Responsibility & Sustainability (USR&S) THEME: KNOWLEDGE FOR PEOPLE: RESEARCH FOR COMMUNITY LIFE 9th – 11th May 2011 Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (The National University of Malaysia) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Universities play a pivotal role in both uniting stakeholders and in educating for regional development through their education, research and service-oriented efforts. The ASEAN University Network (AUN) recently organised the 1st Workshop on University's Social Responsibility and Sustainability from ASEAN-Japan Perspectives: Sharing and Caring for a Better Community (20-22 Oct 2010, Burapha University). The basic idea of AUN University Social Responsibility and Sustainability (USR&S) involves the solid commitment of conduct for the betterment of society practised by the very components of the higher education i.e. university students and the faculty staff. With personal commitment to USR&S practised by the university, higher education could forge the personal perception and characteristics of the individuals that in turn, could promote social good in the long run. The AUN USR&S Conceptual Framework could be categorised into 4 integral areas which are: (1) Teaching and Learning, Research and Academic Services (University’s common missions), (2) University’s Governance and Administration, (3) Community Involvement, and (4) Campus Life At this workshop, representatives from the participating universities were able to share experiences and best practices in university social responsibility and sustainability (USR & S) initiatives across education, research and service from their respective universities. The general consensus at this workshop was the need to capture the knowledge on USR&S from the ASEAN region and strengthen cooperation between higher education institutions (HEIs) and diverse stakeholders in order to become a vibrant and dynamic force that can drive the development of the ASEAN community.

    Peer-Reviewed Article Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education Volume 7, Issue 1 (2018), pp. 19-33 http://ojed.org/index.php/jise doi: 10.5281/zenodo.1867898 © ISSN: 2166-2681 ASEAN University Network in Enhancing Student Mobility: A Case of Indonesia Sri Soejatminah Federation University, Australia ABSTRACT Internationalization of higher education pushes for more intensive regional collaborations as well as student mobility. There are a plethora of studies exploring student mobility patterns, but research on the transformative potential of regional mobility networks is limited. As the most predominant regional network of universities in Southeast Asia, ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) University Network (AUN) commits to boosting student mobility in the region, and thus, can be conceived to be a deliberative space capable of expanding student mobility. This paper examines the role of AUN in promoting student mobility within the ASEAN region. Indonesia’s engagement is used as a point of entry to assess the extent of policies and programs in encouraging student mobility in the ASEAN region. Keywords: ASEAN University Network (AUN), Indonesia, internationalization, regionalization, student mobility Recent trends in the internationalization of higher education in South East Asia show an advancement of cooperation among countries, reflecting the globalization of higher education which involves an increasing movement of people, culture, ideas, values, knowledge, technology, and economy (Knight, 2008, Kuroda, 2016). Globalization itself constitutes “the economic, political and societal forces pushing universities toward greater international involvement” (Altbach & Knight, 2007, p. 291). One aspect of this involvement means increased mobility of students, which in the case of ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) changed from 166,000 in 2009 to 220,000 in 2013 (SHARE, 2016, p.1).
