SEHNEM, Paulo Roberto  y  LUNA, José Marcelo Freitas de. The participants of the Science without Borders Program by the perception of their teachers. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.1, pp.104-119. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271991919.

This work is in line with Hudzig’s assertion that “internationalization demands assessment’. It assumes as its object of study the Science Without Borders Program (CsF), due to the fact that it is the largest initiative of mobility at the undergraduate level in Brazil. The Program is what we classify as an example of the internationalization process of universities. The proposal of the article is to assess whether the motivations that lead students to seek mobility are perceived at the end of this experiment by their teachers. To this end, the following research question is pursued: what are the contributions achieved by CsF graduates in the perception of their teachers? The survey sample consists of eight professors of the Production Engineering Course of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. The subjects were selected by the criteria of previous and subsequent contact among students and teachers. This methodological procedure was taken because the prior and further knowledge of the students would make the teachers more sensitive to changes in behavior and statements of contributions resulting from the mobility Program. Data analysis pointed out that the student mobility period allows the achievement of academic contributions, such as the sociocultural, the linguistic, the professional and the individual ones. It also allows us to state that there is a direct relationship between the achievement of contributions and intercultural communicative competence skills.
