“…There is limited research about the factors influencing Chinese students choosing Australia as their overseas study destination (C. Wang et al, 2015). Although international academic mobility of Chinese students increasingly becomes a topic of public concern and concentrated research interests, there is no systematic review in this research field (Roy, Newman, Ellenberger, & Pyman, 2018). Several review articles have concluded a series of factors influencing Chinese students' academic mobility, but they are fragmented in terms of research context and research methods (X.…”

Under the third wave of international student mobility, Australia has become the third largest country receiving international students. Compared with the United States and the United Kingdom, Australia can still maintain a stable increase in terms of hosting Chinese students. For Australia, attracting international students becomes an important part of Australian universities' business and cultural diversity. This paper reports the Chinese students' initiations of choosing Australian higher education and motivations for returning, aiming at contributing to a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of Chinese students' international flows. By retrieving all relevant literature published from 2000 to 2017, this paper engages with a systematic review to provide an overview of what exactly motivates Chinese students choosing Australian higher education and returning. Based on the robust assessment criteria, we selected 68 articles for analysis, and according to the coding results, we developed four themes influencing Chinese students' choice of Australia, including academic requirement and attainment, employment and future career prospects, host country environment, and social connections and three themes for returning: emotional needs, culture and integration in Australia, and career opportunities in China. The research results contribute to policy implications for Australian international higher education development.

“…As explained by [14], new and creative ideas are prone to be generated by students who study abroad compared to students who do not study abroad. [15] stated there are three outcomes from international mobility programs: cultural, personal, and career. Therefore, aside from having different cultural perspectives and increasing creativity, even participating in short term mobility program could enhance careers and working productivity.…”

International experience is seen as one factor of advancing networks for researchers, which would lead to heighten the researchers’ performance. By searching through researchers’ past academic publications and countries in which they pursued their higher education, the networks could be developed early and become fruitful to identify the performance of researchers. Quality of university is also questioned when it comes to the performance of researchers, which follows the debate of private and public universities’ quality. Therefore, this study is intended to comprehend the association between three salient variables: type of university, availability of international co-authors, and pursuing higher education abroad. This study takes place in Indonesia, where top researchers whose performance is on the top 150 among all researchers and university lecturers are collected and analyzed. We collected top 150 researchers in Indonesia according to Indonesia’s government official research index website and partake in searching their education and academic background. Using descriptive analysis and chi-square for test of independence, this study generates a new perspective about relationship of performance of researchers in Indonesia with their international experience. Thus, certain policy recommendation emphasizes in support for Indonesian researchers to undergo international experience in form of studying abroad or short research programs abroad.

Interfaculty collaboration for improving international mobility experiences: sustaining a dialogue across difference

Higher education institutions promote interfaculty collaborations in research and education projects, but few studies have examined the challenges of such collaborations. This case study investigates how a heterogeneous interfaculty group worked in a community of practice for two years curating an educational e-resource to support the professional learning of academic leaders of student international mobility experiences in their university. Focusing on the journey of working within this community of practice rather than the destination (the e-resource they produced), the study explores how the different members of the group negotiated the tensions and uncertainty associated with an interdisciplinary collaboration. Data in the form of reflexive 'critical incident' narratives written by all seven authors reveal the challenges of sustaining a 'dialogue across difference' in this cross-disciplinary collaboration. The study supports existing research that argues interfaculty collaborations are potentially rich and generative, but shows why success should not be taken for granted.
