Some Questions Regarding the Properties of the Declarative Mapping Sentence

The authors present a flexible framework for the understanding of international student mobility. The framework is in the form of a mapping sentence, which has been found to be useful to assist in the understanding of areas of complex human behavior. The second author has previously proposed a mapping sentence for understanding international students' issues in general. The present mapping sentence adapts this framework and suggests a series of important dimensions along which international students' mobility issues can be understood. The proposed mapping sentence in this chapter does not offer data or results from empirical research. Rather, the mapping sentence is suggested as a theoretical interpretative device that may be used to bring order and insight to extant and future research in this area. The mapping sentence constitutes a guide for researchers to design consistent flexible research tools to address international student veridical mobility experiences.

Intercorrelation Matrix

800 individuals were given a battery of 8 spatial tests which had been assembled with the aid of a mapping sentence of four content facets: rule type, dimensionality, presence or absence of rotation, and test format. An intercorrelation matrix of 49 items from these tests was analyzed by Smallest Space Analysis, SSA-I. All three facets formed distinct regions in a two-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional space. It is suggested that further facets be hypothesized to elaborate on the structure of spatial abilities.
