“…This means that too much participation in household tasks by female tertiary students reduces their participation during lectures and, subsequently, negatively impacts their academic performance. Similar to these results are Chevalier, Isphording, & Lisauskaite's (2019) who observed that peer diversity, e. g. female students were overburdened by household chores, causing physical strain and a lack of concentration on their academic work.…”

<p>Tertiary student roles are a critical aspect of student life during their academic career as they significantly contribute to the success of the whole learning process and the accomplishment of the entire course. This study contributes to debates on the influence of student multiple roles on academic engagement given the limited research on this phenomenon in Africa and Zimbabwe in particular. By investigating the factors influencing the nature of students’ roles, the findings may influence researchers to investigate other aspects of students’ life situations. The study sought to explore from the students’ perspectives, how they juggle their roles and from lecturers how these students perform. A qualitative approach that employed convenient sampling used twenty-one students and six lecturers from the three tertiary institutions in the city. Open-ended questionnaires and in-depth face-to-face interviews were used to generate data from the participants. Thematic analysis was used to process data, whereby common ideas and patterns that came up repeatedly were coded leading to key issues. Factors such as family background, family life cycle stage and economic status were found to be influencing the nature of students’ roles. Students indicated that they occupy many social roles which they could not ignore. They also reported negative effects of these roles on academic engagement. Lecturers also indicated that most students were not performing to their best. The study, therefore, recommends serious consideration of the various interplay underpinning factors that may impact negatively on student role behaviour. The incorporation of time-management and ingenuity into the university curriculum may benefit all students.</p>

“…(2d) Learning Style : Adaptation to pedagogies is reflected in higher education in a unique and important way because of the diversity involved in ISM (Chevalier et al, 2020). For international students, the challenge is not only about learning professional knowledge but also about addressing the gap between the domestic and host teaching cultures, which increases the impact of individual learning (Griffiths et al, 2005).…”

“…More inclusive and experiential pedagogies may be better suited for international classes (Mangan et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2016). Avoiding language segregation is also key to educating international students (Chevalier et al, 2020). Online courses and internet technology have significantly enhanced the presentation of teaching content (Guerrero et al, 2021).…”

This study aimed to synthesize fragmented knowledge about international student mobility (ISM) in higher education to provide an understanding of existing studies and directions for future research. To this end, the authors conducted a systematic literature review using a hybrid approach that integrated bibliometric analysis with the theory, context, and method (TCM) framework (Paul et al., Journal of World Business, 2017;52(3):327-342). Applying bibliometric analysis, this study found publication trends, prolific journals, influential articles, and major themes in the field, whereas the TCM framework helped identify widely used theories (motivation theory, immigration theory, acculturation theory, learning theory, and capital theory), research contexts (destination country or region, population, and others), and methods in research and provided future study directions. The identified gaps in the existing literature suggest that future research should develop theoretical foundations and research designs to analyse new processes, patterns, and issues in ISM in higher education within the context of today's changing international environment.In addition to identifying the key research themes and research foundations of ISM in higher education, this review can help add value to the ISM literature from a marketing perspective. This is the first comprehensive literature review of this topic using a hybrid approach.

“…Third, it is possible that students modify their occupational preferences after enrolling in university, as their new environment and peers shape and influence their aspirations (e.g., Chevalier et al, 2020). Our analysis suggests that changes in occupational preferences can increase dropout rates if they result in a mismatch between the student's occupational preference and university major.…”
