Mapa del Proceso de Internacionalización de las Instituciones de Educación Superior Colombianas

The objective of the present investigation was oriented to structure the map of the internationalization process of the Colombian Higher Education Institutions (IESC), in this way, the strategic, key and support activities that really generate value were identified. The main authors considered are: Sorolla (2019), Mayer and Catalano (2019), Castro and Wolf (2018), Ganga, Perez and Mansilla (2018), Hoyos and Villamizar (2018), Colciencias (2017), Colotta, Lavallen and Presa (2017), Perez (2009), among others. Research is considered descriptive, under a qualitative approach, with a non-experimental, transectional design. In a first phase, IES internationalization models were reviewed in countries such as China, Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico, Cuba, among others. Next, work tables were developed to classify the activities that make up the process map. From this study, a series of open interviews were conducted with the staff of the internationalization area of the main IES located in the Department of Antioquia. Finally, the structure of the Internationalization process is proposed, indicating not only the fundamental activities, but also the strategic interrelation that they must maintain, to ensure its effectiveness.
