Стандарти якості академічної мобільності як елемента системи вищої освіти кінця XX – початку XXI століття та як форми її інтернаціоналізації

Abstract

The article presents theoretically-methodological research conducted to characterize the process of academic mobility as an integral part of international educational landscape of the late XX – early XXI century, and at the same time as one of the forms of national policies of internationalization of higher education, which is in considerable demand when it comes to realization of effective professional activity in the globalized world of the late XX – early XXI century. This form ensures quality of educational services provided by national higher education institutions, ensures innovative character and attractiveness of national higher education for potential students (including foreign citizens). All this, in turn, strengthens the competitiveness of national educational institutions. The aspectual analysis of the mentioned processes allows to state that internationalization of national higher education involves any activity within the system (or institution) of higher education carried out with the involvement of foreign (intercultural) experience, which touches upon all subjects of educational process. International academic mobility provides for the possibility during the period of study to study one or more semesters in a higher education institution of another country, including disciplines (credits) and the period of study. Given the above, it is important to study the existing European and world standards of quality of academic mobility, developed and implemented to ensure the effective implementation of national policies of internationalization.
