Resumo: Internationalization has become a key strategic priority of many universities around the world. It is frequently regarded as a means to enhance the quality of higher education through strategic partnerships, collaborative research and teaching initiatives, for knowledge exchange and creation. Higher education internationalization often focuses primarily on the mobility of both staff and students as a means to improve their international outlook and intercultural capabilities. However, this paper argues that if universities are to become truly ‘international’, they should start ‘at home’. It considers how a review of current internationalization practices, involving educators, students, staff development and professional service units, and those in leadership positions, can help higher education institutions to move towards a more values-based and ethical approach to internationalization.

Es frecuente considerar las medidas para mejorar la calidad de una educación superior a través de una estrategia de colaboración, una colaboración de colaboración y de enseñanza, para el intercambio de conocimientos y la creación. Higher Education internationalization a menudo se centra en la movilidad de ambos equipos y los estudiantes a fin de mejorar sus perspectivas internacionales e intercultural. Sin embargo, este documento argues que si son universales para llegar a ser verdaderamente internacional, se deben iniciar en el home. En el caso de que se trate de una evaluación de las prácticas de internalización, los educadores, los estudiantes, el equipo de desarrollo y las unidades de trabajo, y en las posiciones de liderazgo, puede ayudar a las necesidades de educación superior para desplazarse hacia más valores basados en el enfoque y la inclusión de la integración.Internationalization has become a key strategic priority of many universities around the world.

É comumente considerada uma forma de ampliar a qualidade da Educação Superior, através de parcerias estratégicas, pesquisas colaborativas e iniciativas de ensino, bem como na troca e produção de conhecimento. Em geral, a Internacionalização da Educação Superior se concentra na mobilidade de pessoal e estudantes, de modo a melhorar suas perspectivas internacionais e capacidades interculturais. No entanto, este artigo argumenta que, se as universidades querem ser verdadeiramente “internacionais”, elas devem começar “em casa”. Para tanto, faz-se necessário realizar uma revisão das atuais práticas de Internacionalização, envolvendo educadores, estudantes, desenvolvimento de pessoal, unidades de serviço profissional, e aqueles em posições de liderança, ajudando as instituições de Educação Superior a se orientarem em direção a valores básicos e abordagem ética para Internacionalização.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2017-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/faced/article/view/2901210.15448/1981-2582.2017.3.29012Educação; Vol. 40 No. 3 (2017): Dossier - InternacionaliZation of higher Education; 368-374Educação; Vol. 40 Núm. 3 (2017): Dossier – INTERNACIONALIZACIÓN de la EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR; 368-374Educação; v. 40 n. 3 (2017): Dossiê – Internacionalização da educação superior; 368-3741981-25820101-465X10.15448/1981-2582.2017.3reponame:Educaçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/faced/article/view/29012/16530Copyright (c) 2018 Educaçãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRobson, Sue2018-03-12T14:03:19Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/29012Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/faced/indexONGhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/faced/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br||reveduc@pucrs.br1981-25820101-465Xopendoar:2018-03-12T14:03:19Educação - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
