INTERNATIONALIZATION OF INDIAN HIGHER EDUCATION- A CASE STUDY

Abstract

Internationalization in higher education is rapidly gain importance as educational institutions respond to globalization effects. Earlier, there are several models and frameworks indicated by researchers to analyze the internationalization process in any institution; this study uses the Dynamic Systems  Theory (DST) framework to analyze the nature and development of the internationalization of Indian higher education and suggest that the internationalization process is dynamic. The framework of DST includes 5 primary levels, i.e., Global, National, Institutional, Program and Personal, each level includes further 5 components such as Purposes, Programs, Approaches, Projects and Outcomes, and every level has its environment, and a developmental range depends on the dynamic connection across the factors. There are three states, such as Initial, Attractor, and Control Parameters are other vital factors in examining the internationalization of higher education at individual levels. Internationalization of O.P. Jindal Global University will be discussed as a case study of implementing a dynamic systems approach to the internationalization of Indian higher education. This study aims to provide theoretical and practical implications for defining, developing, and strengthening the internationalization of Indian higher education through the DST framework.
