Resumo: |
Academic mobility, phenomenon that drives significant contingent of students across borders, however has beenin the agenda of political and academic debate. Most visible face of the of higher educationinternationalization acquires intensity in the context of globalization. However, this process identifies asymmetries between sending and hosting international students. Brazil has no tradition of welcoming international students, yet has received increasing stock of students who are interested in the experience of living a season of study in institutions of higher education in Brazil. Seeking to understand this phenomenon, this research focused on international students' motivations to invest in a period of study in Brazil and higher education institutions in the cities of São Paulo and Belo Horizonte. The relevance of the study is associated with the possibility that the results collaborate in the formulation of policies and institutional and governmental projects to attract and appropriate host these students. To enable it to understand the environment in which academic mobility lies investing to theorists who study globalization and its impacts, such as Ianni (2001,2002), Chesnais (1996) and Harvey (2009). Regarding the internationalization of higher education, it wasto supported by the studies of researchers who excel in the investigation of phenomena such as Knight (2006), Murphy-Lejeune (2002). About mobilities, the contribution comes from studies by Urry (2006, 2010); Sheller (2011) and Simmel (1972, 1981). In terms of networks, the contribution stems from authors such as Granovetter (1973, 1983) and Elliott; Urry (2010). This research followed the route guided by a methodological triangulation in exploratory prospect of quantitative research which objective was to map the categories that reveal the motivations of students under the three units of social studies. Within qualitative research, considering the voice actors of academic mobility it was possible to further understand the motivations and the motivations underlays. In this sense, the interest in setting to know Brazil, learning Portuguese, having a differential and invest in an international career reveals the status of the country in the international economic scene, represented by its potential in order to provide, if not a career in their own country, but the possibility of doing business with Brazilians. Expected to identify aspects that could impact on the motivation of students and verify their relationship with the networks. However, the findings reveal that although the networks may influence the choices, they do not constitute standards for determining which students invest in academic mobility programs in Brazil. |
