Comparison Of The Motivation Differences Between Script Teaching Mode And Traditional Teaching Mode For International Business Students in Guangdong Communication Polytechnic

This study examined the differences in motivation between two classes at Guangdong Communication Polytechnic. One class was taught using a traditional teaching method, while the other was instructed using a script teaching mode. This article will explore the motivational differences observed between the two groups. Students completed the Questionnaire of International Business Motivation, which consists of 30 Likert-type questions designed to assess their motivations for studying international business. This questionnaire, adapted from Glynn (2009), aims to provide valuable insights for international business educators and researchers. Motivation in this context was conceptualized through five dimensions: internal motivation and personal relevance, self-efficacy and test anxiety, autonomy, career motivation, and degree motivation (Glynn, 2009). Students initially filled out the questionnaire before the class began and then completed it again after the class had concluded. The results of this study indicate that there are significant differences between the two classes in terms of exam anxiety, self-confidence, autonomy, personal relevance, external motivation, and internal motivation (p < 0.05). Class 3, which adopted the new teaching model, demonstrated superior performance across all these dimensions. In contrast, Class 4, which followed the traditional teaching model, showed notably lower levels in these areas.

Ethical empowerment: Examining the impact of business education in Indian universities through the lens of international standards and CIPP model

This study assessed the effectiveness of Indian postgraduate business education in addressing ethical challenges, integrating International Education Standards (IES) and the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) model. Using a positivist approach, a cross-sectional survey was conducted, focusing on 233 postgraduate business students through various sampling methods. Data analysis employed descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential (multiple linear regression) statistics. Findings revealed a significant 75% alignment with IES 4 in surveyed universities' business programs. Participative teaching methods were found to be used often in ethics instruction, particularly in accounting courses. Students perceived the program as highly effective in meeting ethical requirements, influenced by age, religiosity, and to a lesser extent, gender. Future research should explore components affecting ethical preparedness, considering content, teaching methods, case studies, long-term impacts, and cultural variations. The study, which was constrained by self-reported data and student perspectives, highlights the need for diverse viewpoints and methods in future cross-cultural research.

FEATURES OF THE USE OF THE TERMS “OVERSEAS STUDENT”, “FOREIGN STUDENT” AND “INTERNATIONAL STUDENT” IN DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXTS

The article analyzes the peculiarities of using the terms “overseas student”, “foreign student” and “international student” in various educational and cultural contexts. It was found that British scientists prefer to use the term “international student”, because it better reflects the realities of globalization, internationalization and student mobility, which meets the modern needs of educational institutions and the international community. It is emphasized that the term “foreign student” remains the dominant term in Ukrainian education due to its legal certainty and established practice, however “international student” is also gradually coming into use, especially in the context of European integration and educational exchanges. Analysis of the use of the terms “foreign” and “international” student on the example of the British Council and HESA shows how important is the correct definition of students in international education statistics. A change in the HESA counting methodology in 2009, when students were classified by nationality rather than place of residence, revealed a significant difference in the number of international students in the UK (a difference of 32%), highlighting the extent to which counting methodology can influence research outcomes and state policy.

Epistemic injustice and the “Nature of Science”

AbstractScientists and science educators have argued that learners (students, preservice teachers, and inservice teachers) should understand knowledge construction in science, in addition to figuring out disciplinary core ideas. Given this goal, some science education scholars created a construct called the “Nature of Science” (NOS), which aims to simplify the complex work of scientific knowledge production for learners. Since the 1980s, the NOS construct has shaped national and international science education reforms with the goal of creating a more scientifically literate populace. In this article, we name and question assumptions built into the NOS construct using the philosophical perspective of epistemic injustice. Using specific lenses of contributory injustice and testimonial injustice, we analyzed the 97 most‐cited peer‐reviewed NOS journal articles to examine which scholars are selected to create the NOS construct. We also examined how researchers using NOS position learners in relation to the construct. We found that White men are primarily named by NOS scholars to inform the construct. We also found that NOS research often positions learners from a deficit perspective compared to the construct. We conclude by discussing the potential injustices perpetuated by the NOS construct, and offer a vision for a more complete story of science in sites of learning.

Transnational lives interrupted: The Canadian state and Indian international student experiences during the COVID‐19 pandemic

AbstractCanada has emerged as a major education destination for international students from across the world. International students are understood to significantly contribute towards the labour market and economic growth of Canada including the higher education sector that has come to financially rely on international students. India has emerged as the largest source of international students to Canada in recent years making them a significant category of migrants impacted by the covid‐19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown measures implemented by the Canadian state. This paper looks at the experiences of Indian international students already in Canada and prospective students in India planning to pursue their studies in Canada. The pandemic delayed international education plans for many students in India while causing significant disruption to the studies, employment, and living arrangements of international students in Canada. Such disruptions created considerable uncertainty over their financial situation including meeting various eligibility requirements for work permit after graduation. This paper reveals the deeply embodied and personalised consequences for students in the face of state responses to balancing pandemic control and retaining financial and economic contribution during the pandemic.

Entrepreneurship Education in International Context: Skills, Attitudes and Competencies

Entrepreneurship plays an important role in the economic development of the nations by driving innnovation, economic efficiency, and job creation. On the other hand, entrepreneurship education and international education seem to be an important antecedent for entrepreneurship intentions. In this context, universities and campuses have an important role in fostering entrepreneurial activities, namely extra curricular and curricular programs that empower young and nascent entrepreneurs to develop skills, attitudes and competencies that can later be applied to business creation. The main objective of this study is to present the extra curricular program, EXIT program, and confirm its impact on entrepreneurial skills, attitudes and competencies acquired or developed by students. This study employs a mixed research approach that includes both qualitative and quantitative methods. The results reveals that EXIT program effectively contributes to the development of various attributes associated with student resilience. It notably boosts critical thinking, creativity, initiative, problem-solving, proactivity, responsibility, cooperation, social responsibility, and a balanced mix of ambition, optimism, and realism. EXIT’s impact on student skills development underscores its substantial positive influence, especially in domains like teamwork and communication. Feedback from the focus group discussions attested to the overall positive reception of EXIT by participants.
