Abstract

COSTA, Rejane Pinto  and  CANEN, Alberto Gabbay. Internationalization of Higher Education Institutions: perceptions of scholars. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.114, pp.94-115.  Epub Jan 28, 2022. ISSN 1809-4465.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s0104-403620210002903229.

This study aims to contribute to Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within an international perspective. Our main argument is that when HEIs value international research and students’/academics’ international mobility, such institutions contribute to enlarge the view of internationalization throughout Brazil and push HEIs far beyond political, economic and commercialization processes considered to be, today, key drivers for Higher Education changes in terms of internationalization. To achieve this aim, the most recent tendencies in literature concerning the concepts of HEIs and International Management (IM) were gauged to realize the extent to which they may contribute to alternative perceptions in global Higher Education in Brazil. The theoretical framework was based on the articulation of such concepts, and data were connected to the interviews held with highly skilled scholars of three different public Brazilian HEIs using the methodology of oral histories. Data pointed traits and suggestions toward expanding internationalization in Brazilian HEIs, among which fostering international researchers and resource allocation systems for international research funding.

Keywords : Brazil; Higher Education Institution; International Management; Internationalization.
