Abstract

This article aims to address these special circumstances in the post-pandemic era. Based on the investigation of the willingness of Chinese high school students to study abroad in the post-pandemic era, it adopts a combination of questionnaire and interview surveys and builds on the analytical models of push and pull factors proposed by foreign scholars to propose a new model that interacts with internal and external factors. The new model takes Chinese high school students studying in Canada as samples, focuses on individual student factors, and uses a four-subject, five-dimensional subjective and objective factor analysis model for research. The main exploration includes: (a) examining the changes in the push and pull factors of study abroad in the post-pandemic era; (b) understanding how objective driving factors and subjective factors interact to influence students’ intentions to study abroad, and (c) exploring the essence of Chinese high school students’ intentions to study abroad in the post-pandemic era and the relationship between internal and external factors.
