Together with the rapidly changing global environment, higher education internationalisation has reached a crossroads. Through a constructivist grounded theory design, this study explores experts’ thoughts about the coronavirus crisis’s influences on the internationalisation of higher education and its future direction, taking different national and regional contexts into account. Interviews with 20 world-leading scholars in the field suggested that COVID-19 has had complex effects on university internationalisation and it is necessary to consider such effects beyond the simple distinction between challenges and opportunities. New approaches to conceptualise and implement internationalisation are essential, while the logic of capitalism remains powerful. When looking at the future, many factors other than the coronavirus will exert their force. New conditions have raised new requirements for internationalisation, and therefore, new knowledge is needed to maintain its relevance and sustainability.</p>","PeriodicalId":51727,"journal":{"name":"Tertiary Education and Management","volume":"187 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138534491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While such participation is positive for students’ overall development, the participation in university administration is not that effective.

In Malaysia, the Malaysian Research Assessment (MyRA) was developed to evaluate the research performance of universities and Research Centres of Excellence (RCoEs). This paper reports on a participatory action research approach aimed at developing a new framework for measuring research performance of Malaysian RCoEs. The introduction provides the contexts leading to the development and adoption of the MyRA including the challenges and its appropriateness as a tool for evaluating the research performance of relatively smaller entities namely, RCoEs. A stepwise approach in developing an alternative system of assessment for RCoEs is then described, leading to a list of prioritised components and criteria for the newly proposed tool. Finally, some of the wider implications of the new assessment framework are discussed, including the applicability to other contexts, lessons learned, and the contribution to the literature.</p>","PeriodicalId":51727,"journal":{"name":"Tertiary Education and Management","volume":"165 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138534492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
