Dada la riqueza y la diversidad social, cultural y educativa de América Latina, esta región geográfica se presenta como un escenario privilegiado para el aprendizaje y el desarrollo humanos de educadores de todo tipo, muy especialmente para los educadores sociales.

Este artículo se centra en el Programa Específico de Movilidad Internacional de la Facultat de Filosofía i Ciències de l’Educació de la Universitat de Vàlencia, describien…
International Mobility of PhD Graduates and the Construction of Scientific Careers: The French Example
2014
Expatriation of higher-education graduates raises much concern in many countries often in conjunction with talk about the brain drain. It supposedly entails a risk of losing the skills required for a competitive economy. The issue is all the more acute for PhD graduates, who are expected to play a major part in the knowledge economy (Dasgupta and David, 1994). However, questions arise as to the causes of such mobility and its consequences for young graduates' individual career paths. The academic literature on graduate migration discusses these questions in terms of theory focusing on the push and pull factors liable to explain the motivations behind individual PhD graduate mobility (Dongbi…
Le développement des compétences transversales en vue de favoriser l'employabilité transfrontalière : le rôle de la mobilité internationale
2018
International audience; Cette contribution a pour objectif d’identifier les compétences transversales et interculturelles que des étudiants en gestion, santé et ingénierie d’une institution de formation supérieure suisse romande développent dans le cadre de leur expérience de mobilité internationale et d’examiner dans quelle mesure ces compétences particulières favorisent l’insertion sur le marché du travail. S’appuyant sur des méthodes mixtes (qualitatives et quantitatives), l’étude exploratoire exposée démontre que si le séjour à l’étranger demeure un moyen efficace pour affermir d’autres compétences que celles purement techniques ou académiques, sa valorisation au moment de la recherche …
Transnational Aging and Quality of Life
2021
In an era of globalization and international mobility, older people’s geographic and social frames of reference have become increasingly transnationalized. These older people feel attached to different localities in different countries, oftentimes maintaining close ties with families and friends across borders. This chapter relates the various ways of older people’s transnational involvement with questions about their Quality of Life. It shows that transnational aging can have profound albeit complex consequences for several dimensions relevant for Quality of Life, including social relationships, social roles health, and dependency. However, the interrelationships between transnational agin…
Educated for migration? Blind spots around labor market conditions, competence building, and international mobility
2018
Young European graduates are crossing borders to work abroad more often than in the past. This trend is particularly evident in Southern Europe, where recent economic downturn has significantly diminished professional opportunities and career prospects. This study will investigate Spain, a country where unemployment has increased dramatically since 2008, as a case study to examine recent graduate’s experiences to develop a professional career in Germany. In particular, this study will draw upon various sources: official statistics; review literature; and education and training policies throughout the European Union. The investigation features an interview with Spanish graduates working in …
A cross-country configurational approach to international academic mobility: exploring mobility effects on academics’ career progression in EU countr…
2022
This study takes a novel perspective on mobility as career script compliance to explore the factors that might influence how mobile academics in a country perceive the impact of international mobility on their overall academic career progression and job options. We conduct a country-level qualitative comparative analysis on a sample of 24 European Union (EU) countries, based on data from European Commission’s MORE3 indicator tool. We find that these perceptions about the impact are shaped by the dominant patterns of mobility in that country, and the general perception of academics in that particular country that international mobility is rewarded in the institutional promotion schemes. This…
Anàlisi de la mobilitat de l'estudiant universitari en el marc de l'Europa 2020 per al foment de l'ocupació i les competències genèriques. Un estudi …
2012
Aquesta investigació analitza la percepció de l'estudiant universitari sobre els beneficis de la mobilitat estudiantil en l'Espai Europeu d'Educació Superior. Especialment atenem a l'anàlisi de competències genèriques que puguin atorgar més possibilitats en la recerca d'ocupació. Per això, abordem un estudi de casos a la Universitat d'Oviedo des d'una metodologia quantitativa prenent com a referència els objectius marcats en la iniciativa Europa 2020. Les conclusions donen resultats molt positius en competències interdisciplinars per a la recerca de feina, com ara el domini idiomàtic, el coneixement de noves societats i dels entorns professionals.
