Abstract

With a notable rise in the number of students opting for overseas education, study abroad has developed into a competitive industry over the past few decades. This study aims to identify the essential factors that affect students’ decisions to study abroad at Internalisation. A 32-item questionnaire spanning a range of topics was developed to address students’ goals and motivations for studying abroad. It was scored on a five-point Likert scale. Next, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with AMOS is used to test the factors’ validity and reliability. The study’s conclusions will aid in the understanding of the factors influencing students’ decisions and incentives to study abroad by policymakers and educational advisors.

评估影响学生决定出国接受高等教育的因素:结构方程模型研究
过去几十年来,随着选择海外教育的学生人数显著增加,出国留学已发展成为一个竞争激烈的行业。本研究旨在确定影响学生在内部化过程中做出出国留学决定的基本因素。针对学生出国留学的目标和动机,我们编制了一份包含 32 个项目的调查问卷。问卷采用李克特五点量表计分。接下来,使用 AMOS 的结构方程模型(SEM)来检验各因素的有效性和可靠性。研究结论将有助于决策者和教育顾问了解影响学生出国留学决定和动机的因素。

期刊介绍: This Journal is established with a view to cater to increased awareness for high quality research in the seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies to formulate bankable solutions to the emergent complex engineering problems. Assurance engineering could be thought of as relating to the provision of higher confidence in the reliable and secure implementation of a system’s critical characteristic features through the espousal of a holistic approach by using a wide variety of cross disciplinary tools and techniques. Successful realization of sustainable and dependable products, systems and services involves an extensive adoption of Reliability, Quality, Safety and Risk related procedures for achieving high assurancelevels of performance; also pivotal are the management issues related to risk and uncertainty that govern the practical constraints encountered in their deployment. It is our intention to provide a platform for the modeling and analysis of large engineering systems, among the other aforementioned allied goals of systems assurance engineering, leading to the enforcement of performance enhancement measures. Achieving a fine balance between theory and practice is the primary focus. The Journal only publishes high quality papers that have passed the rigorous peer review procedure of an archival scientific Journal. The aim is an increasing number of submissions, wide circulation and a high impact factor.
