Förväntningar och realiteter: internationella mastersstudenters syn på utbildningskvalitet i svensk högre utbildning / Expectations and Realities: International Master's Students' Views on Educational Quality in Swedish Higher Education

Sahlström, Maria January 2024 (has links)
International student mobility has increased significantly, and Sweden is no exception. However, this increase brings challenges, not least when it comes to perceptions of quality in higher education among international students. The purpose of the present study is to gain increased knowledge about how students on English-speaking master's programs at a Swedish university experience the quality of their education, as well as to gain a better understanding of what the students initially expected from the education and their experiences so far. By using a qualitative method, involving a survey (n= 90) and semi-structured interviews (n= 16) conducted in the period of October to December 2023, the expectations and perceptions of international master students are examined. The results show that students’ original expectations are often high, characterized by an expectation of high educational quality and good future career opportunities. However, many experience challenges related to linguistic and cultural adaptation, which affects their perception of the quality of education. Furthermore, the study shows that a considerable portion of international students particularly value practical elements within the education, and they express a strong desire for the course content to be more clearly linked to concrete professional skills useful in future career ambitions. The discussion highlights the need for improved support structures and adapted educational strategies to enhance the academic and social experiences of international students. The study contributes to an increased understanding of the complexity of the internationalization process and its impact on educational quality, which is important for policy development and quality assurance in higher education.

The scenario used takes into account changes in the contemporary international context, particularly in terms of the inclusion of emerging countries such as India, China and Brazil among the academic partners of education programs in management. More specifically, the contribution of the article results from the critical approach focused on management education that recognizes the role of emerging countries in the production and consumption of knowledge. The questioning of the subject, following a qualitative approach, is based on the description and analysis of the IMPM (International Masters in Management Practice) with recent academic partnerships in China and in Brazil. The results indicates that international education programs in management are interested in performing activities in emerging countries, but these partnerships not always result in a legitimate role that move them from their peripheral positions to the center of knowledge production in management. Finally, we raise the question that international education programs in management, though present in these countries through the establishment of local modules or the participation of students of these countries continue to function as instruments to disseminate universal management knowledge. / O propósito deste trabalho foi compreender como a prática de um programa internacional de educação em gestão desvela a dominação do conhecimento ao se internacionalizar para países emergentes. O cenário utilizado leva em consideração as alterações ocorridas no contexto internacional contemporâneo, principalmente em termos da inserção de países emergentes tais como Índia, China e Brasil entre os parceiros acadêmicos dos programas de educação em gestão. Mais especificamente, a contribuição do artigo decorre da abordagem crítica focada em educação em gestão que reconhece o papel dos países periféricos tanto na produção quanto no consumo do conhecimento. A problematização do tema, de caráter qualitativo, está baseada na descrição e análise do caso IMPM (International Masters in Practice Management), com recentes parcerias acadêmicas na China e no Brasil. Os resultados obtidos indicam que os programas internacionais de educação em gestão estão interessados em realizar atividades em países emergentes, mas estas parceiras nem sempre resultam em um papel legítimo que desloque os parceiros de suas posições periféricas para o centro da produção de conhecimento em gestão. Por fim, levantamos o questionamento de que os programas internacionais de educação em gestão, mesmo que presentes nestes países pela realização de módulos locais e pela participação de indivíduos de diversas origens, continuam funcionando como instrumentos de disseminação do conhecimento em gestão universal.
