“…Another challenge for global education and academic mobility are the numerous challenges in the environment, more particularly the disruption of jobs, changing work demands, and global development focus. In the recent past, there has been a lot of focus on science and technology, as a driver of economic development, which according to Hendry et al (2017) has seen a commensurate focus on mathematics, sciences, and other related subjects in curriculum and instructions in institutions of higher learning or in entire academic curriculums. While such a focus may be aligned to the general trends, it may also result in a shift of focus from other subjects, such as arts, which in the long term may be detrimental to the global economy.…”

Globalization and digitalization have dramatically changed higher education more than any other sphere of social or economic life. Constant flow of information and free access to all possible data, news, and topics, valuable and fake alike, imposed many challenges for the stakeholders in higher education worldwide. Lecturers and students worldwide became closer thanks to the new technologies, yet they also are drifting apart enclosed in single information bubbles. It is surprising that this digital epoch is seeing an increase in academic mobility worldwide. It appears that young people are willing to leave the comfort of their homes and social networks in order to experience the academic life and culture of other countries. It appears that this trend might also have considerable economic impacts on both sending and receiving countries. Our paper investigates the link between academic mobility and financial stability. We focus on the case study of academic exchange Erasmus program funded by the European Union (EU) and its impact on the financial stability of the Eurozone based on the criteria of the Optimum Currency Area (OCA). Our findings suggest Academic mobility and financial stability: A case of Erasmus student exchange program 325 that academic mobility indirectly improves financial stability in four fields: First of all, it enhances future labour mobility. Second, it decreases path-dependence and homogenizes policy preferences. Third, it induces more intensive trade relations. And finally, it increases international solidarity which is very important for such multi-national complex projects as the EU.There are various global challenges facing higher education. A scrutiny of these challenges will show that they are closely related and will have a collective impeding effect on the use of academic programs and the general education systems to achieve the goals of a country and the global community, more so considered in the context of the globalized international community. At the very core of their purpose, higher education institutions have a responsibility of engaging in academic work, including teaching,

“…In Servant-Miklos et al 's (2019) account of how Maastricht University adopted PBL from McMaster University, these social channels are clearly visible. The same mechanisms can be assumed to hold true, more from an anecdotical perspective, for small-scale individual PBL implementations, where collegial exchange or an encounter with an engaged educational developer has often led to adoption of this concept because it was deemed an appropriate solution (e.g., Hendry et al, 2017;Hemmerich et al, 2016).…”

“…Aalborg, on the contrary, runs a model in which students work on self-selected problems in semester-long projects, which challenges them to attain a high level of self-organization due to a more loosely scaffolded process (Kolmos et al, 2019). Newer institution-wide PBL variations have, for example, experimented with short-timing of the Maastricht model to the "One Day-One Problem" approach (O'Grady et al, 2012) or with implementing a "Flipped PBL" model in an Australian high school (Hendry et al, 2017).…”

Variations in PBL implementation need to be seen as the norm rather than the exception, since local PBL practice will always diverge from the “original model”. In order to understand this phenomenon, this conceptional paper first systematizes variations in PBL implementation at the inter-institutional, intra-institutional, and individual level. Then, variation in PBL implementation is discussed through the lens of translation theory as part of the research tradition of Scandinavian Intuitionalism. Resulting insights are applied to develop guiding questions designed to help leaders and PBL researchers to reflect on PBL implementation processes. Uncharted territories in PBL implementation research are identified, and it is argued that researching PBL implementation can serve as a blueprint to understand educational change dynamics in institutions of higher education.

This framework will assist students to become future leaders as well as citizens who are knowledgeable and understand the natural of world environment.…”

Purpose: This study purposes to get a demonstration of students' competencies enhancement through a production of digital video project as a consequence the application of technology through project-based learning (PBL) framework. Thus, PBL is a key to support students to be more competitive in an external environment. Design/Methodology/Approach: The respondents were given 4 weeks to plan and organized the video project. Likert-type questionnaire is developed to identify students' viewpoint on the PBL method in enhancing student competencies. The data were collected through questionnaire from 63 respondents. Findings: There is a positive significant result in terms of student competencies through PBL framework which provides appropriate structure in determining the level of student competencies. Implications/Originality/Value: Students able to produce an educational based video on the topic they are learning. By integrating technology in Malaysia Education Curriculum through PBL, student competencies, which consist of communication, collaboration, creation and critical thinking was enhanced. PBL framework provides appropriate structure for determining the level of student competencies. This paper gives a framework which serves as a reference to facilitate the relevant policymaking in the secondary school education trend. This study adds to the comprehension on how PBL should be implemented in the classrooms to encourage students in to pursuing STEAM majors at the higher level.
