Abstract

La urgencia de mejores indicadores de gestión de la educación superior colombiana, evidencia necesidad de mayor eficacia en los procesos de internacionalización. Las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) públicas presentan dificultades para enfrentar esos retos. Este artículo analiza la cooperación académica en dichas instituciones, como instrumento idóneo para mejorar los procesos de internacionalización. Los hallazgos muestran concentración de capacidades en pocas IES públicas, comprometiendo su contribución al desarrollo económico y social de las regiones. Asimismo, la internacionalización de estas instituciones, experimenta actualmente un estado de transición entre un modelo pasivo y organizacionalmente aislado, y uno de entendimiento estratégico y de ejecución dinámica y participativa del proceso. La cooperación académica no es adecuadamente asimilada en la mayoría de los casos. El estudio identificó significativa relación entre altos niveles de ejecución de la cooperación académica y el índice calculado de internacionalización; entre altos niveles de manejo del idioma inglés y altos índices de internacionalización. ****** The need for better management indicators in Colombian higher education is an evidence of the lack of greater efficiency in internationalization processes. Public higher education institutions present difficulties while facing these challenges. This article analyses the academic cooperation as an ideal instrument for improving internationalization processes in these institutions. Our findings show abilities concentration in few public universities committing their contributions to the economic and social development of the regions. In this regard, the internalization of these institutions is currently experiencing a state of transition between a passive and organizationally isolated model and a model about strategic understandings and dynamic and participative execution of the process. In most cases, academic cooperation is not properly assimilated. Throughout our study, we identified a significant relationship between the academic cooperation’s high levels of implementation and the calculated index of internationalization in high levels of English proficiency and internationalization.
