Resumo: Identifying the personal and institutional factors contributing to international student mobility is an important step toward encouraging it. Based on the statistical treatment of a survey carried out among students at the University Center for Social Sciences and Humanities of the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, this work contributes to previous studies on barriers, motivations, and factors associated with student mobility, such as personal and academic background, as well as institutional elements like those related to the administration of mobility programs. Among the factors studied in the light of Bourdieu’s thinking tools of habitus and capital are language proficiency, family income, interest in mobility, knowledge of options, parental educational level, and previous international travels. Results indicate that knowledge of mobility options, recommendation of professors to undergo mobility and having an interest in studying abroad are the factors that most influence international credit student mobility, followed by academic performance, low perception of the barriers that can impede mobility, and family income. The paper ends by presenting a simulation of the impact on the chances of a student making an international stay during their university studies when three strategies are implemented in higher education institutions: a campaign to disseminate mobility opportunities, close work with professors to promote and encourage participation, and the existence of economic support to carry out the stays.

A partir del tratamiento estadístico de una encuesta realizada a estudiantes del Centro Universitario de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades de la Universidad de Guadalajara, este trabajo abona a los estudios previos sobre las barreras, las motivaciones y los factores que inciden en la movilidad estudiantil, tales como antecedentes personales y académicos, así como elementos de gestión institucional de los programas de movilidad. Entre los elementos examinandos se incluyen el dominio de idiomas, el ingreso familiar, el interés por la movilidad, el conocimiento de las opciones para el intercambio, el nivel educativo de los padres y los viajes internacionales previos, entre otros. Los resultados indican que el conocimiento de las opciones de movilidad, la recomendación de profesores para realizar estancias y tener interés en realizar una estancia internacional son los factores que más inciden en la movilidad internacional para créditos, seguidos del desempeño académico, una percepción baja de las barreras que pueden impedir la movilidad y el ingreso familiar. El trabajo finaliza con la propuesta de tres estrategias que las instituciones de educación superior pueden poner en práctica y una simulación de su impacto en las probabilidades de que un estudiante realice una estancia internacional durante sus estudios universitarios. Identificar os fatores pessoais e institucionais que contribuem para a mobilidade estudantil universitária é um passo importante para incentivá-la. Com base no tratamento estatístico de uma pesquisa realizada entre estudantes do Centro Universitário de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade de Guadalajara, México, este trabalho contribui com estudos anteriores sobre as barreiras, motivações e fatores que afetam a mobilidade estudantil, tais como histórico pessoal e acadêmico, bem como elementos de gestão institucional de programas de mobilidade. Os elementos examinados à luz das ferramentas de pensamento de Bourdieu sobre habitus e capital incluem proficiência linguística, renda familiar, interesse em mobilidade, conhecimento de opções de intercâmbio, nível educacional dos pais e viagens internacionais anteriores, entre outros. Os resultados indicam que o conhecimento das opções, a recomendação de professores e o interesse em realizar uma estada internacional são os fatores que mais afetam a mobilidade internacional para obtenção de créditos, seguido do desempenho acadêmico, baixa percepção das barreiras que podem impedir a mobilidade e renda familiar. O artigo termina apresentando uma simulação do impacto nas chances de um estudante fazer uma estada internacional durante seus estudos universitários quando três estratégias são implementadas em instituições de ensino superior: uma campanha para divulgar oportunidades de mobilidade, um trabalho próximo com professores para promover e incentivar a participação e a existência de apoio económico para a realização das estadias.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2023-01-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/12192210.1590/18070337-121922SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 No. 61 (2022): Dossier Women in Social Theory; 290-321SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 Núm. 61 (2022): Dossier Mujeres en la Teoría Social; 290-321Sociologias; v. 24 n. 61 (2022): Dossiê Mulheres na Teoria Social; 290-3211807-03371517-4522reponame:Sociologias (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSspahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/121922/87680Copyright (c) 2022 Magdalena Liliana Bustos-Aguirrehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBustos-Aguirre, Magdalena Liliana2023-01-10T17:36:29Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/121922Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologiasPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologias/oai||revsoc@ufrgs.br1807-03371517-4522opendoar:2023-01-10T17:36:29Sociologias (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
