Measuring what matters? mapping higher education internationalization in the Asia–Pacific

Internationalization of higher education has gained considerable momentum worldwide in recent years, and higher education in the Asia-Pacific region is arguably the world’s most dynamic. Despite such dynamism in the region, no research to our knowledge has mapped the way in which internationalization is measured. Mapping the indicators of internationalization moves us a step closer in offering an explanation of the value of internationalization from the Asia-Pacific region. To develop this “map,” this paper examines the use and misuse of indicators, setting up a discussion of our findings as to the current sources and uses of indicators in the Asia-Pacific and ways in which internationalization has been measured. The primary questions we tried to answer are: (1) What are the current available sources of data in the Asia-Pacific? And (2) How is internationalization measured in publicly available databases and academic materials in the AsiaPacific? The larger purpose of the paper is to develop a picture of what we know and do not know about the status of indicators of internationalization of higher education in the Asia-Pacific and their use.
