COSTA, Joyce Pereira da; COSTA, Ana Ludmila Freire da and YAMAMOTO, Oswaldo Hajime. Concepts of internationalization in debates over graduate studies in Psychology. Rev. Polis Psique [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.1, pp.227-245. ISSN 2238-152X. https://doi.org/10.22456/2238-152X.97820.
The present study aimed at determining which concepts of internationalization are present in the reflections used in this process in Brazilian graduate studies in Psychology. Documents were analyzed from National Association for Research and Graduate Studies in Psychology (ANPEPP) events, which discuss the direction of graduate studies in the area. The primary results demonstrate that there are several forms of conceiving internationalization, such as activities to broaden interaction between national and foreign researchers; publish in international journals; and improve the quality of the knowledge produced, in addition to using languages other than Portuguese, mainly English. Underlying these ideas, internationalization is understood as both a means for scientific and social development and an end in itself. The implications of these concepts for the internationalization process and the science developed in graduate studies in Psychology are also discussed.
