Virtuality in curricular internationalization: support for intercultural encounter?

Abstract

Some advances of an evaluative investigation of a curricular internationalization proposal from the Psychology area involving four Argentine and Brazilian universities -UNL, UADER, UFMG and UFVM- are announced here. In it students from both countries carry out the same case study on adolescence or youth. To that end, they attend virtual classes taught by foreign teachers and share results in a virtual classroom and by video conferences. After describing the internationalization project and how virtualization irrupts into it, this paper reflects on adolescence and the possible uses of technologies, recovering psychoanalytic contributions. New questions are introduced that generate a concern to enhance the contributions of educational technologies to foster intercultural encounters and to advance in the creation of effective learning environments where the human face of technologies is considered.
