“…In line with Taušová et al (2019) , we believe that a comprehensive model of acculturation needs to consider the role of fellow sojourners for individual outcomes, as this appears to be one important group to share the experience of adaptation with. This is especially important in the case of international students, who usually embark on short-term mobility and move around in spaces that enhance the contact with other internationals (e.g., Fincher and Shaw, 2011 ; Williams and Johnson, 2011 ; Hendrickson, 2018 ); which may influence how open to other cultures they become ( Vuong and Napier, 2015 ) and their future life choices ( Nada and Legutko, 2022 ).…”

Social media use, social identification and cross-cultural adaptation of international students: A longitudinal examination

et al. 2022

The mobility experience is an important life event for international students, and achieving successful psychological and sociocultural adaptation is crucial for this experience to be positive. Through a three-wave longitudinal study among international students enrolled at universities in Spain, Portugal, and Poland (n = 233), we examined the relationships between social media use, social identification, and (sociocultural and psychological) adaptation across time. Results of cross lagged panel modeling (CLPM) showed that social media contact with home nationals predicted greater identification with this group. Social media contact with host country nationals predicted poorer adaptation. Social media contact with other international students did not show any effects, while identification with this group predicted better adaptation. Our results point to the dynamic nature of the adaptation process, showing that the role of social media use and identification targeted at different social groups may play different roles than was previously found in cross-sectional research.

“…Using active learning approaches and inductive teaching techniques shifts the role of "teacher" to "facilitator" of learning (Smart et al, 2012), with experiential learning lending itself well to a transformative approach to enterprise education (Alam, 2022). Constructivist in nature (Davis, 1993), enterprise education actively encourages students to ask questions and construct their knowledge rather than being passive recipients of information (Alam, 2022;Bain, 2004;Nada and Legutko, 2022;Syaharuddin et al, 2022), with students actively involved rather than passively listening. This leads students to develop analytical and evaluative skills as they are actively engaged in the module and therefore encouraged to explore their attitudes and values within that learning environment (Bonwell and Eison, 1991).…”

PurposeSimulation in education has been well documented. Business simulation games (BSGs) are often digital and run by a third-party provider. This can create barriers to engagement from educator and student perspectives. This paper explores a facilitator-led BSG, posing the question: can facilitator-led BSGs provide practical experiential learning experiences within a taught setting.Design/methodology/approachExploratory inductive research recruited a sample of 45 student participants, an external examiner and a module leader. Qualitative data were collected using focus group discussion, participant obsession and facilitator reflection. Mixed-method feedback forms were also used.FindingsThe facilitator-led BSG offered a flexible approach to challenge or problem-based learning, experiential learning, collaborative learning and critical reflection. Student feedback was positive, and there was an increase in engagement within all elements of the module.Originality/valueThis paper presents a case study example of the implementation of a facilitator-led BSG, providing an alternative solution for teaching practitioners to structured simulations run by third-party hosts. This paper highlights a flexible approach to student-centric experiential and challenging learning through enterprise education within small-group settings. There are opportunities for further evaluation and exploration of the notion, which can be developed from this paper in future works.

In a world that is becoming more globalized, education is one of the top priorities for nations. Countries have started to invest more money into global education. Numerous short and long-term education and exchange arrangements are created with this aim. One of the most popular of these exchange agreements is the Erasmus+ Exchange Program. Based on this, the study sought to examine the causes, incentives, expectations, and experiences that led students participating in the Erasmus+ Exchange Program in Klaipėda, Lithuania, to participate in Erasmus as well as the benefits of Erasmus to students. The study used a qualitative research methodology, and the semi-structured interviewing approach was utilized to gather data. Comparative analysis and content analysis were used for the gathered data. The analyses conducted revealed that most of the expectations of the Erasmus-participating students were similar. For example, traveling in Europe, socializing, experiencing a different educational system, and language development. Additionally, it has been observed that Erasmus affects students in both positive and negative ways. It has been observed that these effects are within the framework of personal development, education, socialization, language development, and cultural experience. Students who enrol in Erasmus with similar goals and expectations may experience the program in quite diverse ways from one another. It has been noted that most students choose the country for Erasmus, particularly considering economic considerations, and it has been emphasized that in some cases their economic predictions may not come true.
