Abstract
MALDONADO-MALDONADO, Alma; CARDENAS DENHAM, Sergio and CORTES VELASCO, Christian Iván. What Inhibits Participation in Student Mobility? A Study of Student Perception in Higher Education in Guanajuato. RMIE [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.88, pp.19-45. Epub Mar 24, 2021. ISSN 1405-6666.
Student mobility, as part of the efforts of internationalization, is an activity that has had positive effects on both the students and institutions of higher education. The analysis of program implementation in Mexico, however, is still limited, and particularly in terms of student perspectives. Based on results obtained from a state survey of students in Guanajuato, this article points to factors that inhibit student mobility, underlining restrictions derived from the socioeconomic context of students and their families. The findings emphasize the need to design policies that consider such factors in promoting student mobility, in order to reduce the possibility of generating new inequality gaps.
