The article describes the goals of internationalization and “interculturalization” (a term coined at the university) at the site of the case study. The study then examines points of convergence and tensions between internationalization and interculturalization and emerging Indigenization initiatives. The work draws upon conceptualizations of “imaginaries” in higher education, and identifies that plural imaginaries exist within a single institution, creating opportunities for convergence but also over–reach by particular actors. We conclude that imaginaries are a useful conceptual tool for understanding the broad-based goals of higher education and identifying their varied rationales and also for understanding intra-institutional dynamics.","PeriodicalId":47802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Studies in International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47055293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we focus on carbon emissions linked to air travel in the context of in-person internationalisation conferences. Drawing on decolonial approaches and lived realities in the global South, we argue that a return to pre-pandemic practices in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and, more importantly, an existential climate crisis, is highly irresponsible, unjust and exclusionary. We raise issues and propose questions for internationalisation professionals and organisations to consider, unpack and action, both individually and collectively, aiming to move away from exclusionary and harmful internationalisation practices and to bring about change for a new and better ‘normal’ for all.","PeriodicalId":47802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Studies in International Education","volume":"27 1","pages":"603 - 620"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45598822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic literature review in the Web of Science and Scopus reveals the majority of studies touching on this topic are descriptive, lacking definitions and theoretical underpinnings, with the word ‘strategy’ used in a generic, redundant or implicit manner. None of the 72 studies identified in this research takes a combined approach to considering the “why”, the “how” and the benefits derived from pursuing such alliances. This is necessary to explore the rationales and interconnected mechanisms that lead to strategic pathways, and to address the interplay between approaches taken and benefits derived.

While these institutional arrangements are controversial and often criticized, university senior administrators have been successfully able to advocate for and authorize them. This paper takes a closer look into the reasoning that administrators use in order to legitimize formal agreements with private pathway colleges in Canada. Drawing from the sensemaking literature within organizational theory, the following strategies are traced and analyzed: 1) normalization, 2) authorization, 3) rationalization, 4) moralization, and 5) narrativization. Through content analysis of 50 institutional documents, supported by nine semi-structured interviews with senior administrators representing two public universities and one private provider in Canada (Navitas), the paper demonstrates how neoliberal ideologies in internationalization are actively enacted in public spaces by administrators representing the public higher education sector.","PeriodicalId":47802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Studies in International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44640136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With technology, also comes the opportunity to know more about the brain and thus, how it reacts in the learning process. Mathematics is an area in which many students have great difficulty, so the present work seeks to present contributions that cognitive neuroscience brings to assist the teacher in the teaching-learning process, recognizing that studies involving these areas are increasing. Through a literature review, this article focuses on the teacher of elementary school, understanding that this educator is responsible for the knowledge base that will accompany the student during his school and academic life. Many educators are unaware of how the brain works and learns, they do not know the tools that can help them in their daily school life so that they can achieve a successful teaching-learning relationship. The main objective is to bring studies about the relationship between cognitive neuroscience, learning, and mathematics, considering that being aware of these studies leads to tools that can be used in the classroom. The results showed the importance of relating aspects of cognitive neuroscience with proposals for didactic innovation related to mathematical learning, to allow a new scenario that fosters new cognitive skills, especially in the Mathematics discipline.","PeriodicalId":47802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Studies in International Education","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74418127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here they could learn new things and participate in a sort of \"different school day\". Group participation also seemed to increase the subjects` well-being, because they felt more normal and less depressed. The concept of Gidden`s (1990) and Laing`s (1960) ontological security versa ontological insecurity were utilized to explain the importance and effect of attendance within the Ostrich farm. As well as model-learning, self-efficacy, and apprenticeship learning. The attendance within the farm also seems to ameliorate by integrating these teachers and structures into the student's lifeworld. In terms off, they can view themselves as competent, worthwhile, and consociates that have a resource in which can contribute to society. We applied inductive coding in the data analysis of the semi-structured/ open-ended interviews. Further on, we outline how participation in FELT, might also change their view of the different Lifeworld and its multiple realities (Schuetz, 1945). Through their more changed experiences of the world of working, acquired through the attendance within the Ostrich farm. All the students reported that they learned new things, as well as started to thrive from the participation within the farm. In FELT the pupils experienced a kind of fusion of horizons, as spelt out by Gadamer (1960), in their communication and interaction with the other acquaintance, and mainly the other pedagogues.","PeriodicalId":47802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Studies in International Education","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79301103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Argentine universities, which in previous years had prioritised mobility over other internationalisation strategies, have focused on exploring and developing IoC with greater commitment and effort since the COVID-19 pandemic began. In Argentina there were no theoretical references that allowed IoC to be analysed in a national context, only isolated and fragmented experiences of actions developed by some universities. This paper introduces a conceptual model for the analysis of IoC in Argentine universities, and can also be considered as a benchmark to explore underdeveloped aspects in higher education institutions. Using four levels of analysis, 12 dimensions and 96 indicators, it is proposed to review the different elements that contribute to the curriculum being understood and recognised in diverse contexts.","PeriodicalId":47802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Studies in International Education","volume":"27 1","pages":"779 - 797"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44412166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
