Abstract

Internationalization in (pre)school teachers' education presents a great challenge for all professionals included in the Higher Education (HE) sector, especially professors. As such, it implies a significant change that is accepted by students and professors who see it as a way of enrichment. In relation to the experiences of an Erasmus Coordinator and Assistant Professor in the field of social sciences (psychology major) at the Faculty of Teacher Education in Rijeka, Croatia, this chapter describes and analyzes this information in the context of internationalization promotion within this faculty. Implications that could be drawn from this analysis are closely related to running objective empirical research on students and professors toward internationalization in (pre)school teachers' education, creating clear and formal Erasmus procedures, and developing the pre-requisites for international (post)graduate study programs.
