Abstract(s)
O objetivo do presente estudo é compreender e relacionar, no contexto da mobilidade académica internacional, os fatores que determinam a atratividade do destino, a decisão do estudante e a sua satisfação com a experiência. Este estudo contribui para a literatura através da abordagem conjunta a estas três dimensões relacionadas. O modelo teórico é apoiado por uma investigação empírica, de natureza quantitativa e descritiva, realizada através de um questionário aplicado a 191 estudantes brasileiros em mobilidade académica, de crédito e de grau, nas Instituições de Ensino Superior do Porto, Portugal. Os resultados demonstram que a atratividade do destino é determinante da decisão do estudante em mobilidade internacional e que ambas são individualmente determinantes da sua satisfação com a experiência, assim como a atratividade do destino, mediada pela decisão do estudante. A imagem da cidade e do país foram os fatores mais importantes para a atratividade do destino, tendo a imagem da Instituição de Ensino Superior apresentado menor importância. A influência social e as motivações do estudante em mobilidade internacional foram consideradas determinantes na sua decisão. A experiência cultural foi a componente mais importante para a satisfação do estudante, seguida pela experiência com a cidade e pela experiência social. A experiência académica foi a componente com menor relevância para a sua satisfação.
The aim of this study is to understand and relate, in the context of international academic mobility, the factors that drive the attractiveness of the country of destination, the student’s decision and the satisfaction they get out of the experience. This study contributes to the literature by addressing these three related dimensions together. The theoretical model is supported by an empirical quantitative and descriptive research carried out by means of a questionnaire applied to 191 Brazilian students undergoing academic, credit and degree mobility at higher education institutions in Porto, Portugal. The results show that the attractiveness of the country of destination is decisive in the decision of international mobility students and that both individually drive their satisfaction with the experience, as well as the attractiveness of the country of destination, mediated by the student’s decision. The image of the city and that of the country were identified as the most important factors for the attractiveness of the destination, with the image of the higher education institution being the least important. Students’ decisions were most influenced by social aspects as well as their motivations in undertaking international mobility. The cultural experience was the most important component in students’ satisfaction, followed by the experience of the city and the social experience, whereas the academic experience was the least relevant component for student satisfaction.
