Abstract
This research paper aims to socialize an experience of training teachers and administrative technical workers of a Higher Education institution for internationalization at home. The focus of the course was to familiarize the participants with the theoretical and practical conceptions surrounding the theme of internationalization at home, including administrative and linguistic issues, as well as analysis and ideation of internationalization practices. Following a qualitative methodological perspective, the perceptions of the teacher trainer were recorded in field notes throughout the course and the opinions of the other participants were collected through semi-structured questionnaires at the end of the course. The results point to the relevance of the course objectives and to the quality of the proposed modules. While reasons external to the participants' willingness, such as lack of time and the period of the offer, led to dropouts, reasons related to the quality of the pedagogical proposal and to issues concerning mediation and interaction led to permanence. We conclude that training activities of this nature are indispensable for Higher Education institutions in Brazil to mobilize allies in their own institutions to foster internationalization at home. As a contribution of the research text for readers interested in the topic, we highlight the identification of good practices for offering training courses of this nature, which should consider: the heterogeneity of prior knowledge, the socialization of experiences, and the perception of institutional identity.
