Resumo(s)
No contexto da globalização contemporânea, a internacionalização do ensino superior emerge como um processo estratégico de governação, produção de conhecimento e reconfiguração das identidades académicas. Esta tese de doutoramento em Estudos Globais, de natureza teórica e empírica, analisa a internacionalização académica enquanto fenómeno multinível, articulando políticas públicas, estratégias institucionais e experiências individuais de mobilidade.
No plano teórico, o estudo desenvolve um contributo original ao propor um enquadramento conceptual integrado da relação entre globalização, internacionalização e mobilidade académica, analisando a mobilidade internacional como prática associada à construção de formas de cidadania global, à circulação transnacional de saberes e à produção de capital académico e social.
A investigação inscreve-se numa abordagem dos Estudos Globais, analisando as tensões estruturais entre inclusão, desigualdade, racionalidades económicas e competitivas e a missão pública do ensino superior.
Empiricamente, recorre-se a um estudo de caso de abordagem mista, composto por dois estudos complementares: (i) um estudo quantitativo, descritivo e retrospetivo, com base em dados institucionais do Instituto Politécnico de Viseu e da Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Polo de Viseu, abrangendo os anos letivos de 2016/2017 a 2023/2024; e (ii) um estudo descritivo-correlacional, com aplicação de um questionário de autorresposta a 123 estudantes em mobilidade Erasmus.
Os resultados evidenciam um reforço institucional da internacionalização e uma perceção amplamente positiva da mobilidade enquanto experiência transformadora, com impactos pessoais, académicos e profissionais. Observa-se um enviesamento de género favorável às mulheres e confirma-se o papel da mobilidade na promoção da inclusão, do bem-estar e de formas de cidadania global. Conclui-se que a internacionalização contribui para o reposicionamento estratégico das instituições no espaço global do ensino superior, em interação com dinâmicas transnacionais de cooperação e competição.
In the context of contemporary globalisation, the internationalisation of higher education emerges as a strategic process of governance, knowledge production, and the reconfiguration of academic identities. This doctoral thesis in Global Studies, of both theoretical and empirical nature, analyses academic internationalisation as a multi-level phenomenon, articulating public policies, institutional strategies, and individual mobility experiences. At the theoretical level, the study develops an original contribution by proposing an integrated conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between globalisation, internationalisation, and academic mobility. It analyses international mobility as a practice associated with the construction of forms of global citizenship, the transnational circulation of knowledge, and the production of academic and social capital. The research is situated within a Global Studies approach, examining the structural tensions between inclusion, inequality, economic and competitive rationalities, and the public mission of higher education. Empirically, the research adopts a mixed-method case study approach, comprising two complementary studies: (i) a quantitative, descriptive and retrospective study based on institutional data from the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu and the Catholic University of Portugal – Viseu Campus, covering the academic years 2016/2017 to 2023/2024; and (ii) a descriptive-correlational study involving the administration of a self-report questionnaire to 123 Erasmus mobility students. The results highlight a strengthening of institutional internationalisation and a broadly positive perception of mobility as a transformative experience, with personal, academic and professional impacts. A gender bias favourable to women is observed, and the role of mobility in promoting inclusion, well-being and forms of global citizenship is confirmed. It is concluded that internationalisation contributes to the strategic repositioning of institutions within the global higher education space, in interaction with transnational dynamics of cooperation and competition.
