Umiędzynarodowienie uczelni wyższych w Polsce z uwzględnieniem kierunków pedagogicznych

: The main purpose of this article is to show the specificity of the presence of foreign students studying in higher education institutions, with particular emphasis on pedagogy. At the beginning of the paper internationalization of higher education and challenges as well as opportunities of this phenomenon are discussed. Then, presented are quantitative data that illustrate the specificity of the presence of foreign students at higher education institutions, in the global and Polish context (including those related to the presence of foreign students in pedagogical faculties). Finally, there are remarks and postulates related to the needs and activities that may contribute to increasing the degree of internationalization of higher education in Poland, in the general context and in relation to pedagogical fields of study. According to author’s assumptions, the discussed issues should be an inducement to taking further actions aimed at multidimensional popularization of this phenomenon – both in theoretical considerations and in practical activities.
