Title: Assessment of Transversal Competencies : Current tools in the Asian region.
Author(s): Care, Esther | Vista, Alvin | Kim, Helyn | Brookings Institution | Unesco. Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education
Published: Bangkok : UNESCO : 2019
ISBN: 9789292236267
<b>ISBN:</b> 9789292236250 (print)<br />Abstract: This publication seeks to help education stakeholders address some of the pressing concerns regarding transversal competencies. These include 'how can we assess our learners if we do not fully comprehend what it is that we want to measure?’ and 'how do we overcome the subjective nature of 'observation’ vs the objective standards that most mainstream assessments provide?’ Equally important for the use and assessment of transversal competencies is that are focusing on effective teaching and learning. The study examines components within countries’ learning assessments that are already in use, and shows how these apply to and can measure transversal competencies (TVC). These studies on TVC focus on how to measure and assess these hard to define skills and competencies. Particularly important to highlight is the need to align these skills and competencies across the entire education system. [Introduction, ed]

<b>ISBN:</b> 9781760516741 (DOCX) | 9781760516758 (print ed)<br />Abstract: As international students form a large part of the student cohort in the globalised tertiary education system, design educators face complex linguistic and cultural challenges in their studios and critique systems. To advance learning and teaching in this context, this project aims to improve understanding of the needs of Asian design students, focusing on the impact of language in design, and to develop systems, protocols or information to better support international students' learning. Three main approaches were undertaken to develop a detailed understanding of the challenges faced by students and academics, which were then used to establish a Good practice guide for these groups. The formal methodologies and approaches adopted in this project could inspire and develop the foundation for future studies addressing the impact of other languages on design cognition and communication, as well as further pedagogical solutions reflecting such impact. From two sets of interview data have developed 11 themes for students and 12 themes for academics. The themes themselves may not be new points of view in education, but they address specific linguistic and cultural perceptions that contribute to improving teaching and learning in globalised (design) education. The qualitative analysis of interview data has also captured several strategies and techniques, which design educators could immediately adopt in their studio courses. [Executive summary, ed]

Title: Advancing 21st century competencies in East Asian Education systems.
Author(s): Cheng, Kai-ming | Asia Society. Center for Global Education | University of Hong Kong
Published: New York : Asia Society. Center for Global Education : February 2017
Abstract: This research project studied the education reform efforts of five primary and secondary education systems in East Asia—Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan—focused on the integration of 21st century competencies. In these contexts, there is a drive to reform education to reflect fundamental changes taking place in society in the 21st century. Although the term “21st century competencies” is not always explicitly used in East Asia (with the exception of Singapore and Taiwan), the reforms do involve similar expectations for national education systems as they try to meet today’s changed social context. Such reforms are not only about an addition of new competencies to an established set of expectations, but rather a comprehensive reconceptualization of education and its role in society. The five systems largely share similar cultural heritages, and share similar philosophies of education, despite differences in polity and ideology. All five societies are among the more advanced economies and hence are among the first to feel the challenges of the 21st century. With no exception, all five systems have experienced significant, substantial, and comprehensive education reforms, which are ongoing. [Executive summary, ed]

ISBN: 9780646977584 (pdf)
Abstract: Asian Australians are the fastest growing minority group in Australia, constituting 14.4% of the population in 2016 (ABS 2017). Asian Australian academics have been making significant contributions to the internationalisation of Australian higher education and research developments. Despite their major roles, however, research on these academics has been relatively scarce. This study aimed to provide an overview of the representation and experiences of Asian Australian academics who consist of (1) Asian-born academics and (2) Australian-born academics with Asian ancestry. With the Australian Censuses, the unpublished national data from the Department of Education and Training, the survey data and in-depth interviews, the broad picture of this emerging group was captured.

Title: International students : a guide for Australian employers.
Author(s):
Published: Melbourne : International Education Association of Australia : November 2016
Abstract: This guide is based on the premise that Australian businesses will benefit from continuing to build strong ties with Asia and that these ties are best enabled via the development of ‘Asian’ skills capability and an internationally orientated workforce. International students represent a valuable and largely untapped resource for Australian organisations. This guide serves as a starting point for employers who wish to explore engaging with international students, as part of a mentoring program, work-integrated learning placement, internship or ongoing graduate role. Chapters cover: reasons to engage international students; opportunities provided by International Education Association of Australia; policies around engaging international students; what needs to be done before and after employing international students; how to engage an international student; and how other employers have benefited from international students. An appendix on study and work visas is included.

Title: The power of observation : making research visible, accessible and usable for the Asian digital economy.
Author(s): Lawrence, Amanda | Thomas, Julian |
Published: Melbourne : Swinburne University of Technology : 2015
Abstract: Research in digital form is now so abundant, in so many forms, on such a comprehensive array of topics, that it is somewhat surprising to find that while the Internet has done so much to make knowledge accessible, we still face numerous problems if we want to find, evaluate, access, understand and - most importantly - use, much of this information. Too much useful knowledge is locked up in expensive, subscription-only journals; too much data is never made public; too much material is lost through ‘link rot’, where links are not updated and lead users nowhere. The result is that the great potential of the Internet to provide universal access to information is not yet being realized. This essay considers the benefits and possibilities of an online ‘observatory’ focusing on digital economy and policy issues in Asia. We draw upon our experience developing an open-access, policy-oriented repository in Australia, (APO) which aims to make relevant research visible, accessible, and usable for policy-makers, journalists, advisors, activists, and advocates. Our work suggests that with some new ways of gathering and accessing information, initiatives such as observatories can improve the current fragmentation of knowledge across the Internet in ways that will benefit researchers, policy makers, public interest advocates, and society as a whole [Description]

Published: Canberra : ANU Press : 2015
ISBN: 9781925022599 (PDF)
Abstract: In this collection of essays, we reflect on what it means to practise the social sciences in the twenty-first century. The book brings together leading social scientists from the Asia-Pacific region. We argue for the benefit of dialogue between the diverse theories and methods of social sciences in the region, the role of the social sciences in addressing real-world problems, the need to transcend national boundaries in addressing regional problems, and the challenges for an increasingly globalised higher education sector in the twenty-first century. The chapters are a combination of theoretical reflections and locally focused case studies of processes that are embedded in global dynamics and the changing geopolitics of knowledge. In an increasingly connected world, these reflections will be of global relevance. [Publisher summary]

Title: Educational expectations of Bhutanese refugee parents : have they been met post-settlement in Cairns, far North Queensland.
Author(s): Chigeza, Philemon | Lau, Debbie |
Published: [Hawthorn Vic] : Australian Policy Online : 2014
Abstract: In the 1980s religious and ethnic persecution in Bhutan resulted in the exodus of around 100 000 Bhutanese of ethnic Nepali decent. Despite sometimes appalling conditions in the camps, the Bhutanese refugees saw education as a high priority and initiated programs that ensured their children were schooled. Against this context, a qualitative case study was conducted to explores some of the Bhutanese refugee parents' educational expectations prior to and post settlement in Cairns, Far North Queensland. Interviews were conducted with Bhutanese families and migrant settlement case workers. The study reveals that Bhutanese refugee parents held high expectation that their children would attend high school upon resettlement in Australia. The study also reveals that some Bhutanese refugee young people were denied enrolment to high school because of their age. The study identified the existence of cultural and intergenerational tensions with post-settlement educational expectations. The article discusses how the lack of knowledge and cultural differences between Australian and Bhutanese/Nepalese education systems, undoubtedly contributed to some parents' educational expectations not being met. Finally the article recommends a greater level of transparency in the education enrolment process to mitigate potential misperceptions in enrolment eligibility. [Author abstract]

Title: Why do East Asian children perform so well in PISA? An investigation of Western-born children of East Asian descent.
Series: (Working paper / University of London. Dept of Quantitative Social Science ; n.14-16)
Author(s): Jerrim, John | University of London. Dept of Quantitative Social Science
Published: London : Institute of Education, University of London : October 2014
Abstract: A small group of high-performing East Asian economies dominate the top of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) rankings. This has caught the attention of Western policymakers, who want to know why East Asian children obtain such high PISA scores, and what can be done to replicate their success. In this paper the author investigates whether children of East Asian descent, who were born and raised in a Western country (Australia), also score highly on the PISA test. The author then explores whether their superior performance (relative to children of Australian heritage) can be explained by reasons often given for East Asian students' extraordinary educational achievements. Results suggest that second-generation East Asian immigrants outperform their native Australian peers in mathematics by more than 100 PISA test points - the equivalent of two and a half years of schooling. Moreover, the magnitude of this achievement gap has increased substantially over the last ten years. Yet there is not 'silver bullet' that can explain why East Asian children excel academically. Rather a combination of factors, each making their own independent contribution, seem to be at play. Western policymakers should therefore appreciate that it may only be possible to catch the leading East Asian economies in the PISA rankings with widespread cultural change. [Author abstract]

Abstract: This advisory report look at the higher education support amendment (Asian Century) and how it can help students and Australians whilst studying in Asia. The Higher Education Support Amendment (Asian Century) Bill 2013 (the Bill) expands the eligibility for Overseas Higher Education Loan Program (OS-HELP) assistance and provides additional incentives for university students to undertake part of their course of study in Asia. The Bill implements some of the goals set out in the October 2012 Australia in the Asian Century White Paper which outlines pathways for further engagement with Asia through universities. The two recommendations which the committee recommends are : Recommendation 1, The Committee recommends that the Commonwealth Government consider extending the eligibility of OS-HELP assistance to non-CSP students; Recommendation 2, The Committee recommends that the House of Representatives pass the Higher Education Support Amendment (Asian Century) Bill 2013.

Abstract: The changing role of schools in Asian societies is concerned with the debate about the nature of modern schooling in Asia. Traditionally schools are historical constructions reflecting the social, economic and political needs of the societies that invest in them. As Asia faces the challenges posed by the 'knowledge economy', its schools have taken on a new and quite different importance. This book outlines the broad policy contexts in which these transformations are taking place and the practical strategies that are needed to meet this objective.

Published: Strawberry Hills NSW : Australian Learning and Teaching Council : 2010
Abstract: Final report from a project that studied the influence of increasing numbers of cross-cultural students on teaching and learning approaches in Australian education. It aimed to improve the understanding of Asian students' cultural backgrounds, their previous learning approaches, and their perspectives on Australian culture and modes of education with the objective of helping international students to overcome the difficulties of cross-cultural study. In 2008 the partner institutions conducted a student questionnaire survey and interviews among business and information technology students. Data showed that international students experience significant cross-cultural and language difficulties in their learning process. Apart from language problems, the study found that unfamiliar environment, different teaching methods and culture shock are the main difficulties experienced by first-year international students. Based on these findings, the project devised guidelines for lecturers and education managers to improve approaches to teaching/managing students from diverse cultural backgrounds, as well as guidelines to assist students of Asian background to develop better study strategies in their cross-cultural learning environments.

Abstract: This is the eleventh survey of the ELICOS sector commissioned by English Australia. The purpose of the study is to gain a clear picture of the number of overseas students and visitors who undertook English language studies in Australia in 2006. Particular attention was taken to obtain statistics on student numbers by nationality; student numbers by via type; numbers of individual and group enrolments; length of enrolments; and enrolments in each state or territory. This report presents the main findings of the study. Data is analysed to provide an overall profile of the ELICOS sector, as well as a profile for Asia, Europe, Central and South America and, for the fourth year, the Middle East. [p.4, ed]

<b>ISSN (online) :</b> 1327-5216<br />Abstract: The aim of this research is to explore the similarity and differences international students encounter while studying and living in a regional area as compared to their homeland. This study builds on both academic and lifestyle issues previous identified in research and explore the international students' experiences on their academic adjustments while living in a regional area. The findings of this investigation identified three themes: education, finance and culture. The analysis identified that students experience some level of difficulties at an initial stage but were positively accustomed to the local settings after a period of time. These findings are valuable to educational institutions especially those of regional areas seeking to understand how international students behave and act when studying and living in a regional area. Also, this paper gives prospective students an overall understanding of what to expect when they choose to study in a regional area in Australia. [Author abstract, ed]

<b>ISSN (online) :</b> 1327-5216<br />Abstract: The higher education environment in Australia has undergone a radical change since the 1980s with the phenomenal increase in the intake of international students, particularly from what are referred to as Confucian Heritage Cultures (CHC): China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore. Students from these countries view the Australian higher education system very favourably. The present increase in the proportion of full-fee paying students at Australian universities is also a result of decreasing government funding to the Australian higher education sector, which has now risen to be one of the most important elements of the Australian economy. These push-pull factors have drawn more Australian tertiary institution providers into the market place, as they seek more international student enrolments for their domestic campuses and also establish campuses overseas. Potential higher education students are becoming more discerning in their choices and are choosing learning environments that offers them both relevant and stimulating educational experiences and good qualifications, along with a range of both IT and academic support services that cater to their individual learning needs. Increasing competition, both within Australia and internationally, calls for a focus on student satisfaction in order to sustain the existence of the providers. This paper addresses the issue of what international students seek in terms of academic support and demonstrates that present levels of cost efficient services by Australian higher education providers, generally characterized by IT and language support services, are inadequate and do not meet the specific needs of the students.

Author(s): Mitsis, A. | Foley, P. | Victoria University of Technology. School of Management
Published: Melbourne : School of Management, Victoria University of Technology : 2005
Abstract: This paper presents results from two studies that have been conducted with higher education business students at Victoria University, Melbourne Australia. The first study examines the relationship between business students’ demographics, cultural values profile and the level of course satisfaction of 548 higher education business students. Similar to the first study Robertson and Hoffman’s Cultural Values Scale, derived from the work of Hofstede was used to gauge students’ cultural values profile, and a course satisfaction measure was derived from the work of Netemeyer, Krishnan, Pullig, Wang, Yagci, Dean, Ricks and Wirth and Harris and Uncles. A major finding of this second study was that high Collectivism and high Uncertainty Avoidance ratings and Participant Age form the key determinants of Course Satisfaction. The second study examines the relationship between business students’ cultural values profile and the Teacher-Driven learning preferences of 364 higher education business students. Two empirically driven inventories were used: Robertson and Hoffman’s Cultural Values Scale, derived from the work of Hofstede and Honey and Mumford’s Learning Style Questionnaire, derived from Kolb’s theoretical framework. A major finding of this study was that high Masculinity, high Confucian, high Uncertainty Avoidance and high Collectivism ratings form the characteristics of the Teacher-Driven learning style.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to report findings of students' perceptions of group projects as a means for developing interpersonal and communication skills. A survey result of 969 students indicates that students learn a great deal from group members and they value the importance of working together in a group. Statistically significant differences were observed for age, year of study, class attending, and country of usual residence, with no significant difference for gender. The students do not consider that some group members may simply take advantage of being in a group and do not carry their fair share of the work. However, Australian students rated all components of the importance scale significantly lower than the Asian students, in particular compared with Malaysian and Indonesian students.

Title: No place like home? : the experiences of South-East Asian international university students in New Zealand and their re-entry into their countries of origin.
Author(s): Butcher, A. | Massey University
Published: Auckland NZ : Massey University : 2002
ISBN: 0476001110
Abstract: This thesis on the experiences of Southeast Asian tertiary international students and their re-entry into their countries of origin falls broadly into three parts. The first part examines the political and philosophical background of export education in New Zealand; the second part examines the perceptions of and about international students in New Zealand; and the third part examines returnees' experiences of re-entry. It charts the shift in education policy from the Colombo Plan through to neo-liberal government policies and current government policies. It identifies and analyses the perceptions of and about Asian migrants and students in New Zealand, historically and contemporarily. It identifies the re-entry transitions, particularly as experienced through disenfranchised grief and changing worldviews. It argues that these transitions challenge returnees' notions of self-identity, self-narrative, and ontological security. In particular, it argues that returnees' sense of 'home' is disrupted and challenged and that a sense of homelessness is a defining feature of the re-entry experience. It is argued that home can be defined beyond geographical boundaries, transnationally and through computer mediated communities. The difficulties of re-entry can be mediated someway through self-reflexive preparation and social support in returnees' countries of origin. Together, these can lead to re-entry being an ultimately positive and enriching experience. [Author abstract]

Author(s): Auletta, A. | Sauer, G. (ed) | Australia Malaysia Cultural Foundation
Published: Panorama S Aust : Australia Malaysia Cultural Foundation : 2001
ISBN: 0958014205
Abstract: The Colombo Plan was a formative influence on the relationship between Australia and Malaysia. Initiated before Malaysia’s independence, it paved the way for an education relationship of extraordinary depth. Several thousand Malaysians studied in Australia under the Colombo Plan. Many thousands more came to Australia as private students. In the fifty years since the start of the Colombo Plan in 1951, some 200,000 Malaysians have graduated from Australian institutions. This book grew from an aim to recognise the relevance of the Plan to the present closeness of relationships between Australians and Malaysians across the wide spectrum of our societies. The editor has drawn on the reflections of a small sample of the Plan’s alumni on the influence participation in the Plan has had on their careers and indeed on their lives. The book provides a glimpse of what the Colombo Plan meant to a group of Malaysians who went on to make important contributions to their country. It is not an official history but a snapshot of personal experience and anecdotes. [Forewords, ed]

Abstract: This report explores sexual health issues among homosexually active male international students. The researchers were informed that international students from Asian backgrounds were reluctant to access student health and counselling services on issues of sexuality and sexual health, and that some international students were undertaking high-risk behaviours and presenting at off campus clinics, services and organisations with STD and sexuality concerns. Simultaneously, various health services and student services stated they were becoming increasingly aware that specific understandings were required when addressing the sexual health of homosexually active male international students from Asian backgrounds.

Title: Study abroad : a manual for Asian students.
Author(s): Ballard, B. | Clanchy, J. |
Published: Kuala Lumpur : Longman Malaysia : 1984
ISBN: 0582724295
Abstract: Designed to help Asian students make a successful adjustment to study overseas, the book begins with an analysis of the major problems encountered by students from Asia when they settle into schools, colleges and universities abroad. It explains what teachers and academics expect of students at each level of education. The book is an attempt to make clear the underlying problems of adjustment to new approaches to study - in particular, the demand for 'critical thinking'. The strategies for coping with these problems are based on the experience of successful overseas students in an Australian University. Key topics covered include: (1) writing essays and theses in English; (2) getting the most out of reading, lectures and laboratory work; (3) joining in discussions and seminars; (4) dealing with 'study shock' in a foreign country.
