Higher education internationalization (HEI), concept, interpretation, meaning; stagesAbstract
The article considers one of the most currant concepts which is introduced in modern leading systems of higher education - internationalization. It aims to reveal modern state of internationalization in the sphere of higher education. Study of existing internationalization interpretations enabled us to substantiate the concept and concretize the meaning of HEI at different stages of its development within chronological limits from 1980 to 2021. There was an attempt to trace evolution of the concept and renovate its systematic interpretation. Historical development stages of higher education internationalization have been defined. Understanding of the notion at modern stage has been presented. Conceptual analysis of available research and theoretic scientific papers concerning the problem of internationalization highlighting international experience of educational establishments made it possible to outline the most important phases of higher education internationalization development under conditions of globalization. The results of research can be used for renovating the content of some international disciplines such as «International education» «Comparative pedagogy», «Pedagogy of high school abroad» and others. They also might be appreciated by all parties interested in higher education internationalization. Proposed integral, multifaceted and complete vision of the phenomenon can be worthy for the further in-depth study of various phenomena development in the field of higher education at international level.
