Abstract

This paper explores the negative impact of the shutdown of contact-based learning on learners’ mental health as a result of COVID-19 and provides recommendations to promote learners’ mental health during and post COVID-19. A qualitative research method was used to guide the collection and analysis of the data. Data was collected from a sample of 20 learners from Cape Town and analysed through thematic analysis. The study findings revealed that with the shutdown of contact-based learning as one of the COVID-19 containment measures by the government learners experienced social anxiety disorder and sleeping disorder. Youth policymakers need to design interventions that promote mental health in after-school programmes implemented by qualified youth workers and social workers. Youth workers should take the courses of action in a non-formal education to promote youth mental health.

Abstract

Internationalisation is initiated to drive organisations' success, including higher education institutions (HEIs). This systematic literature review aims to i), determine the prevalence of existing research and publications on internationalisation practice in the HEIs, and ii), identify new practices that are reported in the scholarly literature and offer these new thoughts on the advancement of effective internationalisation practice in the HEIs. A wide-range strategy was employed to search and identify research papers from Web of Science and Scopus. The chosen papers were between the years 1994 and 2023. Out of 425 results generated, 80 publications representing 65 selected papers were chosen and themed for discussion. Investigating internationalisation in higher education is an in-depth multidisciplinary research approach that assists in determining the effect of HEIs. The findings identified challenges such as a lack of effective policy framework, decolonisation of the curriculum and digital transformation, which requires further studies on strategies for effective internationalisation practice in HEIs. Considering HEI's new focus on internationalisation, it is prudent to carry out more investigation to appreciate internationalisation’s many nuances.
