Abstract

Abstract The article discusses the envisaged outcomes of internationalisation policy of higher education in the context of the European Higher Education Area, and the effect of internationalisation policy on quality in higher education. In Lithuania, internationalisation of higher education is supported by large amounts of public finance, in the hope that internationalisation will provide added value to the quality of higher education. However, there are no tools for collecting evidence of whether that investment is properly used. The research question of the study is how the internationalisation policy impact on quality in higher education and its influence on wider society may be measured in a particular national context. The article presents exploratory research findings based on an extensive literature review and views of policymakers, higher education administrators and academics evaluated as a set of indicators and criteria to be used in assessing the impact of internationalisation policy on quality in higher education and its influence on wider society.

评估国际化政策对高等教育质量的影响及其对社会发展的影响的参数:立陶宛案例

摘要本文讨论了欧洲高等教育区背景下高等教育国际化政策的设想成果，以及国际化政策对高等教育质量的影响。在立陶宛，高等教育的国际化得到了大量公共财政的支持，希望国际化将为高等教育的质量提供附加值。然而，没有工具可以收集证据，证明这笔投资是否得到了适当的利用。本研究的研究问题是如何在特定的国家背景下衡量国际化政策对高等教育质量的影响及其对更广泛社会的影响。本文基于广泛的文献综述和政策制定者、高等教育管理者和学者的观点，提出了探索性的研究结果，这些研究结果被评估为一套指标和标准，用于评估国际化政策对高等教育质量的影响及其对更广泛社会的影响。

期刊介绍： The Central European Journal of Public Policy (CEJPP) is an open-access, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal with primary focus upon analytical, theoretical and methodological articles in the field of public policy. The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges. The aim of the CEJPP is to provide academic scholars and professionals in different policy fields with the latest theoretical and methodological advancements in public policy supported by sound empirical research. The CEJPP addresses all topics of public policy including social services and healthcare, environmental protection, education, labour market, immigration, security, public financing and budgeting, administrative reform, performance measurements, governance and others. It attempts to find a balance between description, explanation and evaluation of public policies and encourages a wide range of social science approaches, both qualitative and quantitative. Although the journal focuses primarily upon Central Europe, relevant contributions from other geographical areas are also welcomed in order to enhance public policy research in Central Europe.
