Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Taiwan International Higher Education Students' Mobility: Student Perspectives from Vietnam

COVID-19大流行導致高等教育國際化、全球化產生了深遠影響，國際學生流動性的降低，與傳統推拉因素相比，COVID-19大流行後對學生出國留學的考慮產生重大改變。研究目的針對越南留學生在疫情後，仍對出國留學感興趣，而且選擇臺灣為留學目的國，其動機為何？本研究屬於質性研究，研究方法透過訪談方式進行資料蒐集，訪談對象為國立暨南國際大學教育政策與行政學系之越南留學生。研究結果發現：本研究對象暨南大學越南留學生的觀點，COVID-19大流行後對出國留學仍感興趣，從拒絕渺小個人圓夢，提升第二外語能力到自我實現與增進職場能力，這些和疫情的流行似乎沒有顯著的差異，與學者的研究相差不遠，出國留學與否，取決於留學生個人強烈動機。國際學生選擇臺灣為其留學目的國之動機，研究發現越南留學生選擇臺灣為其留學之目的國之動機：（一）臺灣政府友善的南向政策、社會制度和人文信仰；（二）臺灣資訊公開透明，先進醫療科技成功防疫；（三）臺灣高科技智慧技術，跨領域學習專業與通識相輔相成。COVID-19大流行後國際高等教育的「新常態」，造成越來越多學生和家長在考慮健康和安全因素之下，國際學生流動性從傳統的東西向模式轉變為以東亞區域化為導向，臺灣成為國際學生受歡迎的目的國。
