1 Updates of the Study on the Indicators for Internationalization of Higher Education in Asia Hiroshi Ota, Ph.D., Hitotsubashi University Yuki Watabe, Ph.D., Tohoku University Second Stakeholders Meeting on Indicators for Internationalization of Higher Education in Asia and the Pacific November 9, Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand

2 Background of Study Internationalization evolves into a more mainstream role in higher education. Strategic efforts and approaches toward internationalization with the government support (financial support / funding programs). Need to fulfill accountability to the government and taxpayers. A lack of efficient prioritization and streamlining within the internationalization strategies. Increasing expectation: universities to be able to clarify the added value of the international dimensions and the impact of internationalization.

3 Background of Study Crucial challenge: develop the effective assessment process of internationalization efforts. Need for trusted quality control, accountability, transparency, resource management, and quantitative expansion. Requires a creative assessment methods and its related indicators: encourages overall internationalization initiatives and adds a strategic dimension to further university internationalization. 3

4 Purpose of Study Comparing the goals, strategies (approaches), evaluation (assessment) indicators and methods, and data collection of internationalization between Asian and Japanese universities. Internationalization Goals: priority Internationalization Strategies (approaches): priority Evaluation(assessment) Indicators: importance Data collection: have or have not Evaluation (assessment) methods: preference

5 Survey Methods (differences) Japan: modified Delphi method was employed. 1. First Round Survey in 2014 Asked 229 Japanese universities about the effectiveness of 152 indicators to assess internationalization of universities. 141 universities responded (institutional response). 2. Second Round Survey in 2015 Asked 37 Japanese universities about the importance of 53 selected indicators that are deemed effective for the assessment of internationalization. 37 universities selected for Top Global University Project Type A (13 univs.): leading research institutions, aiming to be ranked in the top 100 in the world university rankings (Top Type). Type B (24 univs.): Institutions that are expected to pioneer internationalization efforts in Japanese higher education and boost their international profile (Global Traction Type) 32 universities responded (institutional response).

6 Survey Methods (differences) 3. Third Round Survey in 2017 Asked academic and administrative staff working for international affairs (international offices and centers) at universities in Asia including Australia and New Zealand about the importance of 53 indicators to assess internationalization of universities. 119 responses (as of October 31): multiple responses are accepted from a single university (individual response)

7 Survey Design Four internationalization strategies (approaches) Adopted those four internationalization strategies proposed by the Higher Education Institution s Responses to Europeanisation, Internationalisation and Globalisation (HEIGLO) project Huisman, J. & van der Wende, M. (eds.). (2005). On cooperation and competition II. Bonn, Germany: Lemmens. peration_and_competition_ii.pdf Five internationalization goals & 152 indicators to assess internationalization of universities Adopted the goals and indicators proposed by Indicators for Mapping & Profiling Internationalization (IMPI) project. IMPI Toolbox Full List of Indicators Retrieved from on November 19, IMPI indicators were translated into Japanese and 152 indicators were selected based on the relevance to Japanese higher education context. 7

8 3 Sets of Internationalization Indicators 1. Core internationalization indicators: 34 indicators Indicators recognized effective and important (Mean > 2.0, CV < 35.0) 2. Context internationalization indicators: 19 indicators Indicators recognized effective, but less important (Mean < 2.0) or their importance vary among the universities (CV 35.0) Three categories: Education, Research, and Others 3. Comprehensive internationalization indicators: 97 indicators Indicators for universities to go one step further or move toward comprehensive internationalization Not selected as 53 effective indicators Scale: 3=very important; 2=Important; 1=somewhat important CV (Coefficient of Variance): a measure of spread that describes the amount of variability relative to the mean 8
