“…Bamber (2014) conducted research on Chinese students studying in other countries and argued that overseas study experiences are beneficial to students because they not only learn the latest knowledge and experiences at overseas schools, but will also earn a better salary after graduation. Meanwhile, higher tuition and living costs are the major obstacles deterring students from studying abroad.…”

A high quality workforce with global competence is the key to survive today's globalized market. The Taiwan government published its White Paper of International Education for Primary and Secondary Schools in 2011. This research examined the relative importance of objectives of international education announced by the government, and to determine the most efficient international academic exchange approaches for achieving the objectives. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was adopted as the major calculation instrument, and a self-developed questionnaire was administered to school principals in Taiwan. The research results indicated that cultivating keen observation capability for international comparison, understanding critical global issues, and understanding interdependence of global relationships are the most important objectives for international education at the primary and secondary levels. Moreover, as different implementation approaches may contribute to different objectives, it is important for school principals to select the right implementation approaches to fit their unique environmental and educational focus.

“…Para la presente investigación fueron utilizados diferentes instrumentos como un cuestionario de datos biosociodemográficos, creado a partir de investigaciones realizadas con estudiantes internacionales y de posgrado (BAMBER, 2013;FARO, 2013 Se identificaron posibles participantes por medio de Facebook grupos (29) de colombianos o estudiantes extranjeros en Brasil; se contactaron vía e-mail universidades (69) con programas reconocidos por la Embajada de Brasil donde se compartió el link de la investigación. Se rastrearon colombianos activos en los últimos 3 años en plataformas Lattes y ScienTI; se enviaron mails a personas de listados públicos de estudiantes extranjeros que se encontraban en Brasil y referidos de participantes que cumplieran con el perfil, bajo la estrategia de bola de nieve.…”

Pero a pesar de no haberse encontrado correlaciones entre escalas y diferentes áreas investigadas, la literatura sugiere que las tareas y demandas académicas pueden desencadenar malestar en esta población (FARO, 2013;GARCÍA-ROS et al, 2012;HASHIM, 2003).…”

“…This approach was applied to explore life satisfaction (Edwards and Lopez 2006); to study matters related to their sex lives (Mustanski et al 2011); to look at immigration (Suarez-Orozco et al 2010), drug use (Ravn 2012) and so on. Mixed methods are often used in studies on education (for example , Bamber 2014;Mao 2014). Clarke and Yaros (1988) note that combining research methods can be particularly effective in areas concerned with complex phenomena, which call for the use of data from a large number of perspectives.…”

Recent political and economic problems in Russia have sadly pushed pertinent demographic challenges into the background. Yet according to demographic forecasts, population growth in the next 3-5 years will give way to population decline, which will only increase with every year. Thus the study of the reproductive plans and intentions of young people in Russia is highly topical today.The paper presents the results of quantitative (a survey) and qualitative (essay about future family) research among female students. We analysed the young women's perceptions about family composition, the number of children they assumed they would have and the time they expected to devote to parental commitments. Our study was created using convergent design, one of the basic types of mixed methods designs.The results of our research showed that young women have strong, persisting views on the family size and structure, and the number of children they intended to have. The qualitative and quantitative data showed a modal tendency towards two children. Yet as far as substantive ideas about parenting, the students hold quite contradictory, non-specific and superficial views.We believe that the use of mixed methods to study young women's views on family and parenting enabled us to obtain well-rounded and relevant results. The use of mixed methods to study young people enables researchers to obtain a deeper understanding of demographic prospects.
