Internationalization of Higher Education
Abstract
The internationalization of higher education is a trend that increased its development in recent years. Educational institutions increased the academic mobility, knowledge exchange, international partnerships for research. This research aims to conduct a systematic review of all articles published about internationalization of higher education in international journals during the period from 2012 to 2017. The research method is quantitative and qualitative. The sample consists of 56 scientific articles. The results show a trend toward increasing production and discussion about the theme, and that the case study method is the most recurrent method. The UK has the biggest number of publications. The five most productive and cite authors about internationalization of higher education are: Hugo Horta (Portugal), Nan Jiang (UK), Victoria Carpenter (United Kingdom), Li Xiaoqing (UK) and Joanne Roberts (UK). Thus, this research highlights the importance of empowering the institutions, faculty and staff, for internationalization, and demonstrates the importance of an international curriculum.
