Internationalization and the dialogue between basic higher education: the problem of teacher training

Abstract

In the Latin American scene, determined by international trends of the globalized world – on one hand, and the demands of national education policies on the other, certain tensions become visible whereas hinder a systemic understanding of education in the regional context and within education systems in each country. The research supporting these reflections, it was used: documentary analysis, interviews, focus groups; and set up the theme in an inter / relationship: national education policies, which are determined by international parameters and local institutional realities. The problem arises in terms of the relationship between international policies patterned by multilateral agencies and educational policies in the territory. Specifically, in this article the interlocutions between the demands and challenges of Basic Education in each country with the innovations of Teacher Education installed within an increasingly internationalized higher education are addressed. This is a series of qualitative studies within the context of hermeneutics, which concludes with some recommendations for re / articulate national regional / national / sub relationships at various levels.
