ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore how postsecondary institutions with high and low study abroad participation rates communicate with students about study abroad opportunities. We were especially interested in identifying institutional policies and practices that focused on inequalities in access to study abroad. We addressed this purpose using a mixed-methods research design. We first conducted a quantitative regression analysis to identify two groups of institutions with especially high or low study abroad participation rates. We then applied a comparative qualitative content analysis to these institutions’ study abroad websites. Results suggested ways in which institutional policies and practices either perpetuate exclusion or promote access among diverse student populations.

从排他性到包容性：留学参与和实践的混合方法调查

摘要 本研究的目的是探讨留学参与率高低的大专院校如何与学生就留学机会进行沟通。我们对确定侧重于出国留学机会不平等的机构政策和做法特别感兴趣。我们使用混合方法研究设计解决了这一目的。我们首先进行了定量回归分析，以确定两组出国留学参与率特别高或特别低的机构。然后，我们对这些机构的留学网站进行了比较定性的内容分析。结果提出了机构政策和实践在不同学生群体中永久排斥或促进入学的方式。
