Abstract
The paper is devoted to the analyses of specific features of internationalization of academic research institutions, first of all at National Academy of Educational Sciences (NAES) of Ukraine. We conducted a brief observation of contemporary English language literature in the area of internationalization of academic institutions and evaluation of its effectiveness. We tried to analyze the situation with internationalization at academic institutions in situation of limited financial support and restrictions, connected with pandemic situation with COVID-19. Special stress was made on elaboration and implementation of successful strategy of internationalization with realistic, accurate and measurable dimensions of internationalization. Using as an example the Strategy of Internationalization of NAES of Ukraine, which was approved by the Presidium of NAES of Ukraine on March, 18, 2021, we observed the main dimensions of internationalization with the relevant indicators, which could be implemented in other academic institutions in Ukraine. Also, we compare some of these indicators with the indicators of internationalization at leading international university rankings (QS and THE).
Highlights
Internationalization is an essential component of mission of contemporary universities and other academic institutions (Scott, 2006)
The goal of our research is to analyze the main approaches to internationalization of academic institutions, which are presented in contemporary English language literature and to propose the optimal forms of their implementation in Ukraine, based on current experience of the National Academy of Educational Sciences (NAES) of Ukraine, the leading national institution, which provides theoretical and methodological support of teaching and learning processes at all levels of education, and its strategy of internationalization, which was approved by the Presidium of NAES of Ukraine on March, 18, 2021
International dimension was essential part of the activities of NAES of Ukraine. Especially important this dimension became after 2014, when integration in European and Euro-Atlantic structures was claimed as a strategic priority for development of Ukraine. This substantial place of internationalization is reflected in main normative documents, which regulate the activities of NAES of Ukraine – in the Statute of NAES (Statute of NAES, 2008) and the Strategy of Development of NAES of Ukraine for 20162022(Strategy for Development of NAES of Ukraine for 20162022, 2016)
Summary
Internationalization is an essential component of mission of contemporary universities and other academic institutions (Scott, 2006). During last few decades it became a popular object of different researches and legitimized itself as an important dimension of institutional development. “As internationalization matures, it is becoming a more important and complex process. It is becoming a more confused and misunderstood concept. Internationalization is definitely past the “new flavor of the month” stage. It is firmly embedded in institutional mission statements, policies, and strategies as well as national policy frameworks. This signals that internationalization has come of age and is a legitimate area of policy, practice, and research in higher education” (Knight, 2011). In our previous paper we claimed that internationalization of the academic publications, increasing of fundraising activities, especially among foreign and international donors’ organizations and increasing the level of academic mobility among researchers and PhD students as main tasks for future development of NAES of Ukraine (Kremen & Kubatov, 2019)
