Session Type: Oral
The public debate, policy agents and stakeholders, and academic research brought to the center of the debate the issue of Internationalization of Higher Education. Along with questions about what (and how) should be taught, the definition and measure of teaching and learning quality, the equity and diversification on Higher Education institutions, emerge the discussion on the meanings of internationalization trends and models in HE.
What does Internationalization mean? Are there any measures or methodological parameters to assess it? Which institutional models become dominant in the internationalization processes? Are there global and local policies and strategies for internationalization? How do they work? How do they connect to democratization of higher education? How does professors and students’ mobility work? Could they be associated to more openness and diversity in campuses? Which are the main agents in the internationalization processes: professors, researchers, staff, students, or other stakeholders?
