1 Define the goals and outcomes

When internationalizing the curriculum and pedagogy, it's essential to define the goals and outcomes that you want to achieve and to ensure they are aligned with the mission, vision, and values of your institution. Additionally, you should take into account the needs and expectations of your students, faculty, staff, and external stakeholders and how they can benefit from an internationalized education. Possible goals and outcomes include developing intercultural competence and communication skills, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills related to global issues, promoting awareness of diversity and inclusion in the classroom, encouraging civic engagement and social responsibility among students and faculty, and enhancing the academic quality and reputation of your institution in the international arena.

When defining goals and outcomes, I immediately think about: 1. Alignment with Mission, Vision, and Values: Strategic Integration: It's crucial to ensure that the internationalization efforts are not just add-ons but are integrated into the core mission, vision, and values of the institution. This alignment ensures coherence and sustainability in internationalization initiatives. 2. Stakeholder Considerations Holistic Approach: By considering the diverse needs and expectations of students, faculty, staff, and external stakeholders, institutions can create a more inclusive and relevant internationalized curriculum. Engaging these groups in the planning process ensures that the outcomes are practical and beneficial for all parties involved.

2 Design the curriculum and pedagogy

The next step is to design the curriculum and pedagogy that will support the achievement of your goals and outcomes. This involves reviewing and revising existing courses, programs, and learning outcomes, as well as incorporating international and intercultural perspectives. You should also consider the level and type of internationalization, pedagogical methods and strategies, and assessment and evaluation tools. Depending on resources, capacity, and objectives, you can choose to internationalize a whole curriculum, a specific program, or a single course. Opt for different types of internationalization such as comparative, integrative, or transformative to achieve the desired degree of integration and innovation. Pedagogical methods such as collaborative learning, experiential learning, service learning, case studies, simulations, guest lectures, online platforms should be selected to facilitate the development of intercultural competence. Formative and summative assessment methods should be used to measure the effectiveness and impact of your curriculum and pedagogy. Involve students and faculty in the assessment process to solicit their opinions and suggestions.

3 Implement the curriculum and pedagogy

The third step is to implement the curriculum and pedagogy that you have designed, and to monitor and adjust it as needed. This involves ensuring the availability and accessibility of the necessary resources, such as materials, technology, facilities, funding, etc. You should also provide adequate support and training for your students and faculty, such as orientation, mentoring, coaching, workshops, etc. You should also communicate and collaborate with your internal and external partners, such as other departments, units, institutions, organizations, etc., to share best practices, challenges, and opportunities.

Durante a etapa de implementar o currículo, a equipe deve estar alinhada e todo o processo testado. Um produto vai ao ar quando todos os cenários foram investigados para possíveis falhas que possam prejudicar esse novo currículo.

4 Review and improve the curriculum and pedagogy

The final step is to review and improve the curriculum and pedagogy that you have implemented, and to celebrate and disseminate your achievements. This involves analyzing and interpreting the data and feedback that you have collected from the assessment and evaluation tools, and identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of your curriculum and pedagogy. You should also report and share your findings and recommendations with your stakeholders, and seek their input and feedback for further improvement. You should also recognize and reward the efforts and contributions of your students and faculty, and showcase their work and achievements in various platforms, such as publications, presentations, exhibitions, etc.

Nem sempre o que é um exemplo de sucesso em um local automaticamente terá sucesso em outro. Existem muitas camadas a serem consideradas: origem dos estudantes, objetivos e clareza sobre eles, contexto socioecon?mico, valores e virtudes.
