Higher education as a prioritarian way for the internationalization of knowledge. Sharing common values in a universal extension

In this presentation the authors discuss the practical experience of a joint double degree curriculum, at the level of higher education, as a prioritarian form for the internationalization of studies and, consequently, for the universalization of knowledge. Moving from the actual state of the international programmes supported by the policy of the Sapienza University, as well as by the Italian Ministry of Education, an account is given of the shared experience among Sapienza University (Magister Programme of Pedagogy and sciences of education and formation) and Moscow State university for Pedagogy and Education, Faculties of Psychology of Instruction and of Distant Learning), stemming from a previous realized joint doctoral course between the Sapienza and the Dragomanov University of Kiev, (Ukraine) and from the obtained comparative research data. The authors maintain that, the historical cultural conception in psychology, represented at the University of La Habana by the Chair of Vygotskij ( headed by G. Arias Beaton) as shared methodological conception about the formation of professionals for instruction and education, has a seminal importance for the realization of this aim. Comparative empirical research of the concrete institutional educational contexts is also needed, since it gave evidence of growing amount of shared problems and values. This is probably due to the fact, they argue, that in present-day forms of globalized communication, parents and young generation share common expectations about the future, across different countries and ideologies. As a conclusion they propose to join their experience in the frame of the universalization of curricola.
