Teachers Education Students and Virtual Mobility Formats – Insights from a Student Survey on the Flexibilization of Internationalization
The project "Partners in Flex-Mobility" at Europa-Universität Flensburg in Germany aims to sustainably increase internationalization and foreign mobility in teacher education programs through integration and by enhancing the flexibility of foreign mobility options. To this end, we designed and evaluated different virtual and hybrid formats and carried out a quantitative study on the factors identified by educational science students as hindering their mobility abroad. Analysis of selected data on virtual mobility in general, and on specific virtual mobility formats, reveals that teacher education students are only mildly interested in doing a study-related mobility abroad, and that those who are not interested in going abroad show more interest in virtual mobility than those who are. Despite the challenges in engaging students with digital formats, the project continues to include them as part of the university's mobility portfolio. This approach allows flexible mobility pathways for all students, especially for those who might not otherwise take any further steps to deepen their international awareness and engagement.
