INTERNATIONALIZATION AS EDUCATIONAL POLICY: THE UNIVERSITY OF ALCALA IN THE EUROPEAN HIGHER EDUCATION AREA

The new functions of the university in the integral development of the student suppose a strategy of continuous innovation to adjust, and even anticipate, to the prospective needs, both professionally and personally, of the citizens who will coexist in a global, interdependent and changing reality. The University of Alcala integrates the historical tradition, the European geostrategic situation and its policy of flexibility, evaluation and constant adaptation to the company and society where it is located. Educational policy needs to have a clear purpose that allows the development of teachers' teaching competences to be combined with a perspective based on dialogical learning, formative and shared evaluation, collaborative work, inclusion and the management of uncertainty.
