TLDR
In this paper, a qualitative case study was conducted to discover the experiences, perspectives, perceptions and paradigms of the chosen participants, who manage and develop a higher education institution in northern Thailand.Abstract:
This qualitative case study was concerned with discovering the experiences, perspectives, perceptions and paradigms of the chosen participants, who manage and develop a higher education institution in northern Thailand. Predominantly, the rationale of this study was not to discover precise responses to internationalizing a particular program/faculty/department, but to develop an understanding, and stepping forward to internationalize the university as a whole as a step toward the ASEAN economic community (AEC). The major findings were reported and discussed with reflection to previous literature in Eastern and Western higher education institutions. These encircled the overall perspectives of the internationalization of the university, the internationalization of the university in the AEC, critical strategies, and a virtual research system.read more
