New Colombo Plan: Australian students’ learning in and engagement with Asia

该项目旨在对澳大利亚STEM学生通过新科伦坡计划在亚洲学习和接触的情况及其对他们的身份、职业方向和未来抱负的影响进行全国性调查。澳大利亚的未来日益与亚洲联系在一起，澳大利亚约80%的贸易和超过220亿美元的最大服务出口中的大部分--国际教育--与该地区联系在一起。该项目的预期结果是提供必要的经验知识和理论见解，与澳大利亚制定政策和实践以优化澳大利亚学生在亚洲学习的需求相联系。好处包括增强澳大利亚的人力资本和与亚洲的关系。

This project aims to undertake a national investigation of Australian STEM students’ learning in and engagement with Asia through the New Colombo Plan and its effects on their identity, career directions and future aspirations. Australia’s future is increasingly connected with Asia with about 80 per cent of Australia’s trade and a majority of its biggest service export of over $22 billion, international education, with this region. The expected outcome of the project is to provide essential empirical knowledge and theoretical insights linked with Australia’s needs to develop policies and practices to optimise Australian students’ learning in Asia. The benefits include enhancing Australia’s human capital and relationships with Asia.
