The report focuses on the role of the international mobility of Ukrainian students in the process of shaping their worldview values and the gradual inclusion in the European educational and cultural context. The participation of Ukrainian students in the internationalisation of higher education is analyzed on the example of the National Mining University. The report examines the impact of the learning experience of the Ukrainian students abroad to inculcate in them a more active approach to life, intercultural skills and European values, awareness of themselves as part of a common European cultural space.

Introduction: The Bologna Process has initiated the “culture of reforms” in higher education, conditioning the economic and social development of Europe. Erasmus Plus is an EU programme of education in 2014-2020. Despite the numerous benefits it offers to students, their mobility within the Erasmus Plus Programme proves to be low (not satisfactory). Purpose: Review the theoretical and practical aspects of student mobility, with particular emphasis on the Erasmus Plus Programme. Materials and methods: We searched for extant networks through peer-reviewed literature and the world-wide web. Additionally, we used a data analysis on the mobility of students of medicine and health sciences in 2005-2015 within the Erasmus Plus Programme, at selected university in Poland. Results: According to the educational standards in the European Union, students of medical faculties are obliged to complete 12 semesters of studies comprising 5,500 hours under teachers’ supervision. In Poland there are 5,700 hours – these additional hours account for mandatory physical education and foreign language classes which are not taught in other countries. Data from the last decade indicate that student mobility in Poland is an overestimated phenomenon as it concerns a narrow circle of students. Conclusions: A student who benefits from a scholarship under the Erasmus Plus Programme enhances their self-esteem and development opportunities. Participation in an international programme seems to bring benefits alone. In practice, however, there prove to be numerous barriers related to student mobility, such as financial problems, language barriers and issues related to the recognition (crediting) of a period of study completed at a partner university.

In the current landscape of higher education in the UK, international students play a key role. It is an environment in which they not only cross borders physically but also transition through various identities as they develop their professional and linguistic confidence and skills to fully access and contribute to their programme of study and beyond. The aim of this paper is to outline the results of an empirical investigation into Chinese students’ perceptions of their study experiences in the context of student mobility and English-medium instruction in higher education. It reports on a study of two groups of Chinese students – one group studying in an English-speaking environment, the other in their home country where instruction is delivered through the medium of English. Semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted at each site which focused on the transition of “crossing borders” for educational purposes. The data was analysed using thematic analysis (Clarke & Braun, 2016). The main finding was that both groups experienced remarkably similar learning issues, despite being located in very different learning environments and crossing different types of borders.

The objective of this case study is to investigate the role of student mobility in the development of intercultural communicative competence in university students. In order to indicate the changes in the participants, especially about their attitudes towards Spanish culture, Spaniards and their stereotypes, an interpretative research with an ethnographic approach has been carried out, namely, we have interviewed several students of Hispanic Philology from the University of Ljubljana (level C1 of Spanish), who had spent at least one semester with the Erasmus scholarship studying in Spain. The article does not pretend to achieve a statistical generalization due to its limited sample, however it can be useful as a preliminary study.

The study investigates the linguistic and cultural experiences of Erasmus+ students from Portugal at the University of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. Special attention is paid to the chal- lenges encountered by the students in both communication and coping with cultural differences, as well as to their language needs, ways of communicating, attitudes towards the Czech culture, and the role of English in communication. The research tool was a questionnaire covering a number of questions related to the purpose of the study. As the results show, while the intercultural experience was generally enriching and the participants appreciated some interesting aspects of the Czech culture, they were particularly disappointed by the limited number of Czechs able to speak English and some of the academic teachers’ low levels of language proficiency in English. In fact, this is not limited to the lack of language skills, as communication problems can also lead to the perception of the interlocutor as unpleasant and unhelpful.

The significant growth in the number of Ukrainian s tudents at Polish institutions of higher education has significantly changed the face of academic education in this country. The existing model of higher education mostly based , especially in smaller centres, on studies of a single nation has been evolving over a t least several years in the direction of a bi- or multicultural model. Ukrainians currently constitute the largest group of minority students in Polish institutions of higher education , which affects social attitudes perceptible in the academic environment, arouses interest in th e Other or evokes negative cultural ste- reotypes and prejudice. In the context of these cha nges, key questions arise about the mo- bility of Ukrainian students to Poland, which can b e addressed in the following research questions: What are the motives of Ukrainian studen ts coming to Poland? Will Ukrainian graduates remain in Poland and be assimilated, or w ill the higher professional qualifica- tions earned help many Ukrainians with Polish degre es to build a new social, economic and cultural order? What is the structure of education for a Ukrainian student – one based on the domi- nance of one cultural canon or one that shows cultu ral diversity? Included these visible changes at Polish universiti es were also programmes in “Art Ed- ucation in the Musical Arts”, including those condu cted in the Institute of Music at the Pomeranian Academy in Słupsk. Since 2014, this inst itution and institute have offered “semester exchange” and “double degree” programmes for students from Ukrainian insti- tutions, and many Ukrainians have chosen Słupsk as the place for the full programme of their music and pedagogical studies. The theoretical section of the article is divided i nto three parts: 1. Academic mobility - in which select literature o n the situation of students pursuing their education abroad is discussed. At the foregro und of these discussions are the problems of students’ adaptation to a new, cultural ly foreign environment. Also con- sidered are the perceived difficulties in studying in the chosen field, as well as the question of the declared strength of the desire of Ukrainian students to emigrate to a new country, understood in the perspective of their car eer development in the profession. 2. Students from Ukraine pursuing studies in music and pedagogy form a certain image of their future professional employment, namely as a music teacher at school. There- fore, the focus of this article is the analysis of different models of this profession and their integration with the interests and musical ac tivities they engage in. Jarosław Chaci ń ski 256 3. Another area of the literature analysis, underta ken in order to learn about the changes in the consciousness of Ukrainian students, is the subject of shaping their individual cultural image, based on the dominance of their nat ive cultural canon, which then un- dergoes an inevitable process of acculturation. In this aspect, it is important to esti- mate how much they have learned and their ability t o recognize another cultural tra- dition, as well as to acquire the competence to dea l with the history of Polish culture and its most outstanding works in the musical, visu al, architectural and literary arts. The research variables identified in the theoretica l part of the article were then the main inspiration for the survey research, included in th e second part of the article, in which Ukrainian students, answering the questions in the survey, declared their attitudes toward selected phenomena in which they participate, made a self-assessment of their assimilation of the Polish cultural canon in the context of the previous canon of their native Ukrainian culture, declared their professional preferences, o riented towards performing the future work of a music teacher according to a defined model.

The problem of outbound mobility of Ukrainian students has been presented in the paper. The data regarding the number of Ukrainian students studying in Canada has been pointed out. This paper examines “push-pull” factors which motivate Ukrainian students to seek higher education overseas and factors which attract Ukrainian students to Canadian higher education establishments. The research methodology comprises theoretical (descriptive, statistical, comparative) and practical (content analysis of interviews and feedbacks of Ukrainian youth and students studying at the Canadian universities and colleges) methods. Theoretical and practical results of the research focus on analysis of the educational, social, political, economic and cultural prerequisites to Ukrainian students studying abroad, in particular at the universities and colleges in Canada; the advantages of Canadian higher education system have also been suggested. Among the perspectives of further research, we define the analysis of governmental and institutional implications of international students’ recruitment with the regard to development of inbound student mobility in Canada.

Zasadniczym celem artykułu jest ukazanie napięć pomiędzy tradycyjnym kształceniem akademickim a wymogami procesu bolońskiego oraz konsekwencji, jakie one wywołują dla funkcjonowania poszczególnych dyscyplin. Koncentrujemy się na jednym z aspektów tego problemu – mobilności studentów pomiędzy I i II stopniem kształcenia – na przykładzie nauk socjologicznych. Odwołujemy się w nim do klasycznej już koncepcji plemion akademickich T. Becher i P. Trowlera. Próbujemy w nim odpowiedzieć na pytania, które z akademickich wspólnot plemiennych wpisały się w postulaty procesu bolońskiego, a które zdołały się im oprzeć kładąc nacisk na utrzymanie studentów w gronie danej dyscypliny naukowej oraz czy w uczelniach o najwyższym akademickim prestiżu siła socjalizacji do wspólnot plemiennych będzie silniejsza aniżeli w uczelniach o mniejszym prestiżu. Dołączamy tym tekstem do dyskusji na temat kształcenia socjologów w Polsce.

The major aim of this article is to shed light on the growing tensions between traditional academic education and Bologna process. It examines what implications these tensions have for academic disciplines, sociology in particular. The study focuses on the transition between bachelor and master studies in sociology invoking the T. Becher’s and P. Trowler’s seminal concept of ‘academic tribes and territories’. In the article, we address two questions: (a) which of the academic tribes in the field of social sciences have adopted the two-cycle study structure required by the Bologna process – and which ones have managed to block it; (b) do universities of higher academic prestige socialize stronger to academic tribes than those with lower academic prestige?

Artykuł analizuje wpływ mobilności uczniów na ich sortowanie pomiędzy szkoły i klasy. Strategia dla uzyskania związków przyczynowo-skutkowych opiera się na dwustopniowej strukturze polskiego systemu edukacji powszechnej oraz różnicach w gęstości szkół pomiędzy gminami. Miara homogeniczności studentów oparta jest na Matrycach Ravena. Wyniki pokazują, że większa mobilność uczniów zwiększa ich sortowanie pomiędzy szkołami oraz klasami. Dodatkowa analiza sugeruje, że popyt na wysoką jakość rówieśników motywuje dyrektorów szkół do tworzenia specjalistycznych klas.

This study investigates whether improving student mobility leads to greater sorting of students between schools and classes. I isolate an exogenous change in student mobility using the two-stage design of the Polish comprehensive education system and differences in school density across geographic areas. I construct a novel measure of student homogeneity based on Raven’s Progressive Matrix test score. One finding is that higher mobility leads to greater sorting of students between schools. Another, more novel, result shows that mobility also leads to higher sorting within a school (across classes). I provide suggestive evidence that demand for peer quality among students motivates school principals to create selective tracks within comprehensive schools.

Głównym celem badań zaprezentowanych w artykule była identyfikacja przejawów internacjonalizacji publicznych uczelni ekonomicznych w Polsce oraz rozpoznanie skłonności studentów do uczestnictwa w programach wymiany zagranicznej, a także ich oczekiwań formułowanych pod adresem uczelni w kontekście tworzenia warunków sprzyjających wyjazdom. W badaniach zastosowano podejście multimetodyczne (metodę ankietową i metodę desk research) z triangulacją danych. Ocena modeli zasięgu internacjonalizacji badanych szkół wyższych wskazała na stosowanie elementów modelu „importu” i „eksportu”. Istotnym aspektem umiędzynarodowienia jest mobilność zagraniczna – zarówno pracowników, jak i studentów. Choć studenci dostrzegają istotność wymiany międzynarodowej, to poziom ich wiedzy o programach wymiany i zainteresowanie mobilnością zagraniczną są niskie.

The article's main objective was to identify the propensity of students to participate in foreign exchange programmes and the expectations they formulate towards the HEI (Higher Education Institution) in creating conditions conducive to foreign mobility. The article presents a broader context of this mobility, presenting in the first part considerations concerning the essence of the process of internationalisation of HEIs and the strategies created for this process. The research used a multi-method approach (survey method and desk research method), with data triangulation. The assessment of the models of the range of internationalisation of these universities indicated the use of elements of the 'import' and 'export' models. An important aspect of internationalisation is the foreign mobility of both employees and students. Although students perceive the importance of international exchange, their level of knowledge about exchange programmes and interest in foreign mobility is low.

The article discusses conditions in the society of liquid modernity in lightof Zygmunt Bauman’s diagnosis. Because of those conditions, mobility (generallyspeaking, the lack of strong bonds with physical and social space) became very important.The article aims to discuss the point to which Bauman’s diagnosis coincideswith the characteristics of Poles who grew up after accession to the European Unionin 2004. The issue is analyzed on the basis of author’s pilot research into the mobilityof university students (N=92) of the Faculty of Educational Studies of Adam MickiewiczUniversity in Poznań. It concludes with an attempt to explain the researchfindings.

W artykule, w nawiązaniu do myśli Zygmunta Baumana, zostały omówione warunki w społeczeństwie płynnej nowoczesności, które sprawiły, że mobilność stała się dla jego członków jedną z podstawowych wartości (wyznacznikiem sukcesu). Celem tekstu jest próba ustalenia, w jakim stopniu płynnonowoczesny stosunek do mobilności (najogólniej mówiąc: brak przywiązania do określonej przestrzeni fizycznej i społecznej) jest obecny wśród młodych Polaków, wychowanychw Polsce po 2004 roku (po akcesji do Unii Europejskiej). Kwestia jest analizowanana podstawie wyników badań pilotażowych (N=92) nad mobilnością młodzieży akademickiej (studentów Wydziału Studiów Edukacyjnych UAM w Poznaniu). Rozważania kończy próba wyjaśnienia uzyskanych rezultatów badań.

What is analysed with the use of new data, some peculiarities and trends is the internationalization of Ukrainian higher education (HE) with regard to academic mobility and cooperation. The asymmetry between the outgoing and incoming internationalization in HE is reveled. Poland, German, and Russia are priority destinations for HE abroad (70% Ukrainian students abroad study in these countries). Poland has become a key destination recently and the number of Ukrainian students there is increasing rapidly (33% and more). The biggest groups of international students in Ukraine are from Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, India, Nigeria, Morocco (52%). At the same time, there are 8.1% of students from OECD, from the EU – 2.9%, G7 – 0.9%, and from the neighboring countries – nearly 14%. Georgia replaced Russia among the top 10 countries supplying students to Ukraine. The total levels of exporting/importing HE measured by student mobility in Ukraine are smaller than 4/5% in both cases. There is an essential regional disproportion of internationalization of HE by incoming students in favor of Eastern and Southern parts of Ukraine. The overall language learning context for international students has changed from Russian (57%) to Ukrainian (49%) domination lately. The inreasing trend of broadening cooperation in the context of European Higher Education and Research Areas of the EU and partner countries through Erasmus+ and Horizon 2020 programmes is confirmed. The recent modernization of the legislation concerning HE enhances the internationalization of HE in Ukraine.

Przy użyciu nowych danych, w kontekście aktualnych tendencji, poddano analizie zjawisko umiędzynarodowienia szkolnictwa wyższego na Ukrainie pod kątem mobilności studentów i współpracy międzynarodowej, wskazując przede wszystkim na jego asymetrię. Polska, Niemcy i Rosja są priorytetowymi krajami dla ukraińskich studentów podejmujących studia wyższe za granicą (70% ukraińskich studentów uczy się w tych krajach). Polska stała się kluczową destynacją niedawno, a liczba studentów z Ukrainy gwałtownie wzrasta (ponad 33%). Największe grupy studentów zagranicznych na Ukrainie pochodzą z Azerbejdżanu, Turkmenistanu, Indii, Nigerii i Maroka (52%), podczas gdy jest tylko 8,1% studentów z krajów OECD, 2,9% z UE, 0,9% z G7 i prawie 14% z państw sąsiadujących. Gruzja zastąpiła Rosję wśród 10 głównych państw dostarczających studentów na Ukrainę. Całkowite poziomy eksportu i importu w szkolnictwie wyższym mierzone mobilnością studentów na Ukrainie są mniejsze w obu przypadkach niż 4/5%. Można również zauważyć zasadniczą dysproporcję w regionalizacji umiędzynarodowienia edukacji wyższej poprzez przypływ studentów na korzyść wschodnich i południowych części Ukrainy. Ogólny kontekst nauki języków obcych studentów międzynarodowych zmienił się ostatnio z dominacji rosyjskiego (57%) na dominację języka ukraińskiego (49%). Potwierdza się także wzrastająca tendencja do rozszerzania współpracy, w kontekście Europejskich Obszarów Szkolnictwa Wyższego i Badań, UE i państw partnerskich w obrębie programów Erasmus+ oraz Horizon 2020. Ostatnia modernizacja legislacyjna dotycząca szkolnictwa wyższego wzmacnia jego internacjonalizację na Ukrainie.
