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

该项目旨在对澳大利亚STEM学生通过新科隆博计划在亚洲的学习和参与情况及其对他们的身份、职业方向和未来愿望的影响进行全国调查。澳大利亚的未来越来越多地与亚洲联系在一起，澳大利亚约80%的贸易和超过220亿美元的最大服务出口（国际教育）的大部分都与该地区有关。该项目的预期成果是提供与澳大利亚需求相关的基本经验知识和理论见解，以制定政策和实践，优化澳大利亚学生在亚洲的学习。这些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.
