: Practical teaching has been paid more and more attention in the process of cultivating applied undergraduate talents, but practical teaching is still an auxiliary teaching method of theoretical teaching in practical teaching. At the same time, the traditional practical teaching system lacks integrity, coherence, coordination and systematisms, and it is difficult to improve the comprehensive skills of students' employment. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively design the practical curriculum system and practical teaching level. Based on the results-oriented education (OBE), this paper follows the principle of reverse design. The practical teaching of financial mathematics includes professional skills and professional comprehensive quality. The practical teaching system of financial mathematics is divided into four ability modules according to the ability level and structure: financial perception ability, financial data ability, financial modeling ability and financial innovation ability. According to the above ability requirements, the support matrix table of the practical ability training system of financial mathematics specialty and the progressive practical teaching system of professional ability are constructed, and the corresponding ability training has the corresponding curriculum group, which can ensure the realization of the goal achievement. It provides a new idea for the teaching reform of financial mathematics practice course, and provides a scientific basis for the improvement of teaching system and evaluation mechanism.

ABSTRACT Internationalization of higher education (IHE) has become one of the most prominent strategies in national policies and universities’ agendas during the past three decades. IHE provides numerous benefits to nations, institutions, and higher education stakeholders and plays a vital role in improving the quality of education and research. However, it is difficult to argue that all countries equally benefit from IHE; that is, power inequalities between countries in the world are reflected in universities’ efforts and outcomes regarding internationalization. To analyse the effects of national boundaries on IHE, this article presents qualitative research conducted in two European countries: Poland and Turkey. Thirty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted with international office professionals. The results revealed that IHE in Poland and Turkey, as examples of peripheral countries in terms of IHE, is restricted by political instability, economic impotency and socio-cultural legacies. These factors lead to a nation-bounded internationalization experience for higher education institutions and individual stakeholders in both countries. The results also revealed some differences between the two countries and it is argued that decentralized internationalization strategies designed based on nations’ unique characteristics are needed to drive the progressive values of IHE forward.

ABSTRACT This paper critically examines two policy responses related to Canadian study permit processes that were adopted during two crises: the COVID-19 pandemic and the displacement of Ukrainian nationals due to war. We look at the expansion of the Student Direct Stream (SDS) to the Americas in 2021 and the creation of the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) in 2022 to discuss the effects of these crisis responses on the access to higher education (HE) in Canada for international students and forcibly displaced people. In this study, we conduct a policy analysis that draws on Bacchi’s post-structural approach named ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ (WPR). We use the WPR approach to answer the question: how are students constituted as policy subjects in policy responses to crisis? Findings indicate that the two responses are accompanied by power imbalances that deepen barriers to equity in the access to HE in Canada.

ABSTRACT With the growing trend of globalisation and the internationalisation of higher education, China actively recruits more international students to study at Chinese universities. Notably, international doctoral students are a significant cohort in this trend. Although many studies have investigated international students’ learning experiences in China, few have explored their motivations to pursue doctoral degrees in China. To fill this gap, through the push–pull model, we explored the motivation of 55 international doctoral students from three Chinese universities. The findings show that various national, institutional, and individual factors comprehensively influenced their choice to pursue doctoral studies in Chinese universities. Their experiences also reflect that China is progressively establishing a systematic mechanism to attract international doctoral students by taking advantage of economic development and Chinese academic returnees. While these advantages attract international doctoral students to study in China, Chinese universities may still play an alternative role in international doctoral education. This study contributes to international higher education and doctoral education. Implications and suggestions for future studies are discussed.

ABSTRACT Interrupted international mobility since 2020 emphasized the limited nature of focusing higher education internationalization on the recruitment of international students. Likewise, the term ‘internationalization’ has lost appeal as it connotes for some the imposing of Western approaches and colonialist assumptions about best practices. To assist universities as they reimagine international education in Australia, this article discusses a study that explored how students conceptualize an internationalized university and the importance they place on various strategies. Analysis compared the responses of those who commenced their studies pre-pandemic, at the start of the pandemic and mid-pandemic to explore the influence of the pandemic on students’ ideas. Findings suggest consistent beliefs that common internationally minded strategies and graduate skills are important; however, some university characteristics, such as a diverse student population, seem more strongly associated with ‘internationalization’ than others. Slight differences based on when students commenced their studies suggest that some characterizations of internationalization are more static while others might be outdated. Such insights can assist universities in restructuring their internationalization approaches for this current period of change or future crises.
