Im/mobility in a disruptive time: The impact of Covid-19 on the size and directional flow of international student mobility
The share of internationally mobile students has risen exponentially for the last two decades until the disruptive COVID-19 period, leading to a more diverse and multipolar network structure. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused restrictions across the globe. This systematic review aims to explore how COVID-19 has affected the magnitude, flows, and direction of internationally mobile students. A total of 57 studies, retrieved from several da…
What do exchange students value when choosing a destination for their study period abroad? A conjoint experiment
Referring to rational choice theory, this paper aims to better understand the factors that drive exchange students to a particular destination. A conjoint experiment conducted among students at a Spanish public university allows estimating in an unbiased way the isolated effect of different destination attributes on the destination choice, as well as evaluating their relative importance and comparing different subgroups of students. The results s…
A “three-legged model”: (De)constructing school autonomy, accountability, and innovation in the Italian National Evaluation System
The widespread adoption of school autonomy with accountability reforms in education has generated debate regarding the relationship between autonomy, innovation and accountability. While at the policy design level, these three elements are highly related, several authors highlight the contradictions among them. By analyzing key documents and interviews, this paper aims to identify the program ontology behind the current Italian National Evaluatio…
Understanding the Stakes: The Influence of Accountability Policy Options on Teachers’ Responses
Under test-based accountability, side-effects —including practices to inflate test results, often seen as cheating—are usually associated to so-called high-stakes policies. However, the influence of different types of stakes in the generation of this type of practices has been overlooked in education research. Based on a survey experiment, our results indicate that the type and level of stakes of accountability systems (e.g., high- vs. low-stakes…
School Governance Through Performance-Based Accountability: A Comparative Analysis of Its Side Effects Across Different Regulatory Regimes
Performance-based accountability (PBA) has gained popularity worldwide due to its promise to strengthen the effectiveness and equity of educational systems. Nonetheless, its implementation does not always generate the expected reactions within schools. Through a configurative review, we systematically reviewed 133 empirical studies focusing on PBA side effects. We provide novel insights into the literature on PBA side effects, generating a better…
Unveiling teachers’ work preferences: A conjoint experiment on the implications of school governance reform across three countries
School governance reforms have changed teachers’ work in many aspects and have been associated with increasing teachers’ discontent and demotivation. Research on which school policies and organizational practices teachers prefer is scarce and faces challenges. Our conjoint experiment identifies the importance given by teachers to different work dimensions altered by recent reforms and teachers’ preferences regarding school policies in three conte…
Stuck in a Time Warp? The Great Recession and the Socio-occupational Integration of Migrants in Spain
This article examines the socio-occupational integration of the immigrant population in Spain for a time span that, for the first time, includes the post-crisis period. Using the Spanish Labour Force Survey and conducting a socio-occupational analysis, we predict the probability that a migrant would be employed in one socio-occupational class over another in three periods: before, during and after the crisis. Our main research questions are as fo…
Schools in the media: Framing national standardized testing in the Norwegian press, 2004-2018
In the education sector, media outlets have been increasingly active in reporting on standardized testing. The purpose of this paper is to identify the most recurrent discursive frames used by the Norwegian regional and local press when informing their readers about national standardized testing, and to explore whether differences over time and across geographical localities exist in the pervasiveness of frames. Our analysis is guided by framing …
Mobilités étudiantes internationales: L’attractivité de la France
du site ou, le cas chant, des conditions gnrales de la licence souscrite par votre tablissement
Les migrations pour études au prisme des mobilités sociales
Les migrations étudiantes se déploient aujourd’hui selon des modalités liées aux dynamiques récentes de la mondialisation néolibérale, au développement d’un marché du travail toujours plus tertiarisé et à la place qu’y tiennent désormais les étrangers. Les étudiants internationaux, dans ce qui est devenu un marché très stratifié et relativement complexe de l’enseignement supérieur mondial, forment néanmoins une population socialement hétérogène. …
Opening or closing borders to international students? Convergent and divergent dynamics in France, Spain and the UK
While attracting international students is the declared objective of many countries of the global North, the regulation of movements of this migrant group does not escape the tensions that characterise policymaking on migration. This paper compares the evolution of student migration policies in three major European destinations – France, Spain and the UK – since the late 1990s. The aim is to evaluate whether policies in this area have converged o…
Transnational higher education and skilled migration: Evidence from Australia
Une analyse du discours international sur la « fuite des cerveaux ». Un consensus en trompe-l'œil
Les migrations internationales font l’objet, depuis les années 2000, d’une attention accrue de la part des organisations internationales. Cela a débouché, entre autres, sur la publication de rapports et l’émergence d’un discours international sur les migrations, qui aspirent à la fois à comprendre les enjeux migratoires et à proposer des pistes d’action politiques afin de construire des mécanismes de gouvernance internationale. De tels récits sup…
"Overcoming the Ethical Dilemmas of Skilled Migration? An Analysis of International Narratives on the "Brain Drain
Migration-related issues have, since approximately 2000, been the object of increased attention at the international level. This has led, among other things, to the production of international narratives, which aim both at understanding migration and at proposing policy recommendations on how to address it, with the objective of improving the governance of migration at the global level. But this implies overcoming dilemmas stemming from the diver…
