Just as Google shares its Year in Search’ as a throwback to the trends of the past and a glimpse into the coming year, Studyportals likes to share our insight into a fraction of this world what students are searching for. Trends evolve as fast as they pass which can make it hard to keep track. In the market of higher education, it is crucial to understand what is trending, what programmes are popular amongst students, and where prospective students are looking to study. Knowing which keywords students use the most when searching for study programmes on our portals is the insight you need to successfully stand out in their search. To help you find out which those keywords are, we made a list of the most used keyword searches on Studyportals in 2018. How Studyportals uses keywords On our portals, students can use keywords to find the study programmes that best match their interests. Our search algorithm shows the programmes whose name and descriptions contain the relevant search terms and ranks them accordingly. The student can then explore the study options that best match their interest. What does this mean for universities? To appear on top of the Studyportals search results, it is important that your programme descriptions contain the exact keywords your target audience is searching for. Those can vary depending on the linguistic preferences of the student personas you are targeting. For example, if you are promoting a Master’s in Management, pairing the word Management with either International or Global works best for British students, while Strategic or Business Management could appeal to students from a different geographical area. Our data shows that the most searched word in 2018 was “English”. This is no surprise as most students who use Studyportals are interested in finding international, English-taught study programmes. Additionally, many students were looking for online study programmes. The growing demand for distance learning opportunities only underlines the fact that students are not only shifting to mobile devices, but are also looking for a more mobile and personalised lifestyle. 2018 Most searched keyword terms on Studyportals Student search behaviour also offers insight into the study destinations that are popular with Studyportals users. “London” tops the destination list, followed by “Berlin”, “Germany” and “Canada”. The search results indicate that students on Studyportals are still predominantly interested in European study programmes. Regarding the educational level, Master’s and programmes are overtaking other degrees. In terms of disciplines, the frequent search of the keywords “Medicine”, “Psychology”,” Clinical Psychology”, “Health” “Nutrition” and “Genetics” shows that health-related studies are trending amongst students. 2018 Most popular study programme searches by cumulative count.

Most middle and high school students are not interested in science, math, and even space, teachers said in a new national poll, commissioned by Lockheed Martin, an aerospace and defense contracting company, asked 1,000 middle and high school teachers about their views on student interest in science and math. Only 38 percent said the majority of their students seem naturally interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The sample is nationally representative, and the survey was conducted online from April 5-11. Out of those four subjects, 69 percent of teachers said their students are most interested in technology. Forty-two percent said their students are most interested in science, 25 percent of teachers’ students are most interested in engineering, and just 14 percent of teachers said their students are most interested in math. Fewer than half of teachers—41 percent—said their students are eager to learn about space-related topics like planets, the solar system, space travel, and space exploration does that mean for future space missions? Lockheed Martin says that the first human mission to Mars will take place in the 2030s—meaning that the crew members are likely sitting in classrooms right now. To help bridge the gap between students’ enthusiasm and the country’s need for future scientists, engineers, and space explorers, the company released free resources, developed in partnership with Discovery Education, for middle school teachers to engage their students in STEM resources include space-themed lesson plans and activities, like a space-exploration career survey and a project to design a vehicle that can launch into space. Lockheed Martin also put out a free virtual-reality app that gives students an interactive tour of Mars. Last year, Lockheed Martin built a school bus that simulates the experience of traveling across Mars’ surface.Meanwhile, the teachers surveyed had some ideas about how to get their students interested. A quarter said their current school curriculum does not sufficiently prepare students for a STEM career, and a majority—65 percent—said they need standards-aligned supplemental STEM resources for students. More money would also help Only 31 percent of teachers said the school budget is sufficient to prepare students for a STEM career. Finally, many indicated current advances in space exploration could pique students’ interests 52 percent of teachers said it would help if there was a return to the moon in the near more ideas on how teachers can encourage their students’ interest in space, check out this blog in which a middle school teacher describes how she uses a science simulator, social media, and other hands-on activities in class to get her students excited about learning.

Most students in fully online college courses live close to the educational institution offering them, and are interested in the quality, not just the convenience, of their education, according to a new survey. The survey, “Online College Students 2017,” was produced by The Learning House, Inc. and Aslanian Market Research and polled 1,500 former, current and prospective students. This is the sixth year they have conducted the survey, which seeks to explain who takes online courses, why they choose them and what they prefer to experience when taking these types of classes. Here are three highlights from the survey that show how students are interested in more than merely clicking on a computer screen to earn course credit. If a course isn’t available online, more than half of respondents said they would probably or definitely opt to attend the course in person. Only 8 percent said they definitely would not take an in-person class. This is a notable finding because many respondents say they took online courses at educational institutions that were within commuting distance from their human touch still matters, even for people who are interested in online learning. Nearly 60 percent of respondents said they want to be able to regularly engage with classmates and instructors when taking online courses. Virtual “office hours” for instructors, for example, was popular with 76 percent of the survey respondents. And 59 percent of students reported traveling to campus at least once to meet in person with an instructor or courses can’t just be about convenience, the survey found. About 60 percent of students who took an online course reported that they would change something about how they chose the course if they could do it again. Many said they wished they had shopped around more and contacted more programs before enrolling. Nationally, college enrollment overall has been decreasing for 10 semesters, due to a lower number of college-age students and, perhaps, fewer students enrolling in for-profit colleges. Online courses might seem like an easy way for colleges to increase enrollment, but this survey’s responses show that the reasons students take these courses are complex, and that they care about the quality of the courses.

Our work keeps educators and the public informed about pressing issues at schools and on campuses throughout the country. We tell the whole story, even when the details are inconvenient. Help us keep doing that. Join us today. Educational author and former teacher, Dr. Michael Schmoker shares in his book, Results Now, a study that found of 1,500 classrooms visited, 85 percent of them had engaged less than 50 percent of the students. In other words, only 15 percent of the classrooms had more than half of the class at least paying attention to the how do they know if a student is engaged? What do "engaged" students look like? In my many observations, here's some evidence to look forTeacher-Directed LearningYou will see students...Paying attention alert, tracking with their eyesTaking notes particularly CornellListening as opposed to chatting, or sleepingAsking questions content related, or in a game, like 21 questions or I-SpyResponding to questions whole group, small group, four corners, Socratic SeminarFollowing requests participating, Total Physical Response TPR, storytelling, Simon SaysReacting laughing, crying, shouting, etc.Student-Directed LearningYou see students individually or in small groups...Reading critically with pen in handWriting to learn, creating, planning, problem solving, discussing, debating, and asking questionsPerforming/presenting, inquiring, exploring, explaining, evaluating, and experimentingInteracting with other students, gesturing and movingTo boil the descriptions above down and get at the essence of student engagement, whether for teacher-directed learning or student-directed learning, engaged means students are active. Is that surprising? I shouldn't think so. If true learning is to occur, then students have to be at the very least participants in the process, and not merely and OwnershipI believe that the majority of teachers pick up on the audience cues as they direct-teach and can tell if a student is not interested or not engaged. Most teachers act on what they see and adjust their instruction to try to engage all of their students. However, no matter how hard teachers work at making it interesting, a lecture is still a lecture, and having students simply listen is still a passive action. The solution is simple If a teacher wants to increase student engagement, then the teacher needs to increase student activity - ask the students to do something with the knowledge and skills they have learned. Break up the lecture with learning activities. Let them practice. Get them moving. Get them talking. Make it so engaging that it will be difficult for students not to ultimate engagement is to put the learner in charge of learning. Create a rich learning environment and a motivation to learn, and the students do all the hard work of learning, while the teacher merely facilitates. It sounds so do not minimize the hard work involved in creating those rich learning scenarios, custom-made motivators and engaging learning content. And it is a bit risky. Sometimes it works like a charm, and other times it would have been better to assign seat work. But we keep trying, improving, and enhancing until we get it have you found success in engaging your students? Our study abroad survey collected responses from over 10,000 prospective students across 181 countries this year. Using our previous survey data, we’ve highlighted the most striking global trends in this report to give you insight into how the international student market is changing in 2021. Access our Regional Student Trends reports for detailed trend analyses of prospective student data in 7 global regions, and view our fully customizable Student Insights 2021-2022 dashboard to see the entirety of this year’s survey data. 1. South Korea rises by leaps and bounds while Australia plummets The popularity of the UK as a study abroad destination continues to drop each year, while the US holds steady at around 14% of students in this year’s and last year’s survey. This is still a huge drop from it’s supremacy as an overseas study destination in 2019 21%. Canada has made the largest gains in the top three this year. In this part of North America, there’s been a 10% growth in student interest from last year and a 14% increase from the year before. Canada’s rising popularity pales beside the rise of South Korea this year. Perhaps driven by the South Korean government’s ambitious Study in Korea initiative, including an increased number of English-taught programs at Korean universities, international student interest in Korea as a study abroad destination has skyrocketed. Since last year, more than double the proportion of prospective international students surveyed say they want to study abroad here, and more than triple that of 2019. The destination grew in popularity by double in the United States since 2019, and more than quadrupled in Asia. Australia has suffered the most this year, especially as border closures are only more recently opening up for international students from long-lasting pandemic closures. With most of Australia’s international student population coming from Asia, it’s shocking that Asian student interest has dropped by 35% since 2019. Along with heightened attention to studying in Korea, Japan has also grown significantly in popularity for Asian students - a 71% increase from 2019. Will the Australian international education market recover once borders reopen, or will students be turning towards more non-English speaking countries for their studies? 2. Student safety concerns high As many prospective international students are looking towards first-time opportunities of living abroad, it’s crucial to have a multi-dimensional understanding of their anxieties in the thought process - including their worries about safety. This year, only 15% of all prospective students indicated they have no concerns with safety when heading abroad, leaving 85% with significant concerns globally. These numbers are overwhelmingly large in Africa and Asia. Across Africa, 91% say they are concerned about their safety when thinking about studying abroad, with 60% of that percentage citing racial discrimination as their biggest source of unease. Proportions of apprehensive students are even higher In Asia. With 93% indicating safety concerns, 26% of this group of Asian students are thinking about potential racial discrimination, and 25% are worried about Asian-hate abroad. The rise of xenophobia towards international students in popular host countries like the United States and Australia is not unnoticed by prospective students. Creating safe spaces and providing robust student support will be increasingly crucial for international students looking for friendly, multicultural environments during their studies away from home. 3. Career paths a big focus As the pandemic continues to shape international student decision-making, finding job security in the face of economic uncertainty has become more of a priority than ever. International students from around the world have made huge leaps in focus of how their degree will place them in the workforce. Achieving career goals has become the top motivation for students looking to study abroad overall, with the highest percentage prioritizing this factor in the regional area of the Middle East, Caucasia, and Central Asia 54%. When looking at the most important aspects of a program, 70% more European students prioritize graduate career prospects as a top program factor this year than last. Particular regions of Asia are also looking towards their future career path. Southeast Asia and South Asia saw a 26% increase since 2020 in the proportion of students valuing graduate career prospects in a program the most. 4. Mental health has become increasingly important Connected to the heightened safety concerns and anxieties about future jobs is mental health. More attention is being paid to the mental well-being of international students, especially as the world continues to adjust to new global realities. When comparing with our previous survey looking at mental health in 2020, there is little change in the proportion of students who are not considering the importance of mental health support services when deciding on a university. There is, however, a shift in those who do prioritize the importance of these services when making decisions. Compared to last year, there’s been a 14% increase in the percentage of students who say that a university’s mental health support services are very important. Though the overall proportion of students who see this as important is nearly the same, it’s also clear that mental health services are only becoming more essential for international students around the world. 5. YouTube plummets - Instagram reigns king In 2019, we asked prospective students from around the world how important different social media platforms were to them when researching study abroad options. Two years ago, YouTube was the resounding winner across the board. This year, Instagram claims the top spot as the most helpful social media platform when looking for information about a university. Though Facebook has dropped to be the preferred platform for only 10% of students in North America, Facebook still overtakes Instagram in Africa with 31% of students. With over a billion users and a push towards more advertising opportunities, TikTok shouldn’t be ignored. Already, 2% of North Americans and 3% of Oceanic students prefer this app for learning more about universities. We can surmise that this number will grow even larger in the coming years. 6. Schools growing in importance, Country dropping as a first priority Around the world, double the percentage of prospective students this year are looking at the school as a first consideration when decision-making as compared to 2019’s numbers. African, European, and Asian students are especially more interested in looking at the institution first since 2019, with an increase of 133%, 96%, and 93% respectively. Students from Oceania are a notable exception. Here, the proportion of students considering the school first has decreased by half in the same time period. The study abroad country is diminishing in favor of other factors as a first consideration in several regions. The country has decreased in importance over the last two years in Latin America by 38%, in Europe by 34%, and by 25% in North America. Though there’s been a slight drop worldwide, the program became more often a first priority in decision-making in North America, Europe, Oceania, and Latin America. Growth levels shot up especially high in Oceania and Latin America over the last few years, where 59% and 21% more students respectively say that finding the right program is the most important when decision-making. 7. Students are divided on whether they want a flexible study mode or face-to-face campus instruction When asked about preferred class mode, there is one thing for sure - most students are not looking for completely online learning experiences when studying abroad. More surprisingly, 43% prefer blended learning, or a mix between online and in-person classes. In this year’s survey, we asked students who prioritize the program as a first consideration what is most important in a program. We found that the study mode and flexibility of a course have double the importance to American students 42% than for Canadians 20%. In addition, we saw that on-campus delivery is almost four times more crucial for South Asians since last year as a decision-making factor when looking at study abroad programs 24%. In-person delivery as a program factor was also chosen more often this year in Europe by more than double, demonstrating an education landscape affected by the pandemic. Though students still seem to turn away from programs that are completely online, it's possible that mixed-mode delivery could be here to stay. 8. Peer-to-Peer continues to be very influential The weight of peer-to-peer communication is hard to ignore. This year, 63% of prospective students said that they want to talk to international students at the school before applying to a university. Compared to only 17% that want to talk to the alumni of a program or university, these statistics indicate the importance of student ambassadors who are currently studying abroad. In another survey question this year, 39% of prospective students cited student stories of studying abroad as a most helpful factor when deciding where to study. Student stories hold even more influence than the global average in Oceania 56%, North America 52%, and Europe 47%. Noting students’ increased preferences towards more personal communication is paramount. Peer-to-peer signals a desire for prospective students to hear about the international student experience from someone that they authentically relate to. 9. When students plan to go abroad for their studies varies heavily by region Looking at the student journey reveals lengthening planning periods in all areas but to different extents. In Southeast Asia, 80% more students are planning to study abroad four or more years in advance than in 2020. Also since last year, there are more than twice as many African students planning one year in advance, and huge jumps in the proportions of students from Latin America, the Middle East, Caucasia, and Central Asia planning one year in advance as well. It’s difficult to predict student mobility at this time, and when students will freely flow around the world again is anyone’s guess. What is comforting to see is the heavy tilt towards planning one year in advance. As the student journey has been getting longer since 2019 overall, it will be interesting to observe how the scale will tilt once students are no longer restricted by travel limitations. Will the student journey continue on the longer side? Or will things become more balanced? 10. Concerns in the pandemic vary heavily by region While students will always have certain worries to overcome when they are making a decision on an international program, the pandemic has blurred the lines between the concerns we expect to see and what has emerged due to the virus. So, what are students’ newer pandemic-related concerns? The responses to this survey question brought out significant differences within global regions. Worries about travel entry to their country of choice reach over half of students in Oceania and Africa 59%. Oceanic students are the most concerned with staying focused and motivated for their studies 35%, and African students have the highest proportion of students anxious about teaching flexibility 13% and the recognition of online qualifications 13%. Students from Asia are alo highly worried about online qualification recognition 12% as well as time differences in online programs 18%. Limited cultural opportunities are at the front of nearly half of prospective students’ minds in North America 48% and Latin America 47%. Europeans, however, are the group most concerned about their social life and interactions with classmates 42% when thinking about studying overseas. Europe also has the highest numbers worried about understanding course material in an online format 30%. The world is an uncertain place, and an international education may be a big leap for some. Yet, with the right information and enough support, we can help these students along to their dream study abroad program in no time.
