Abstract

Introduction Internationalization of higher education institutions has been an issue of increasing debate and interest among colleges and universities over the past decade. Internationalization at the national, sectoral, and institutional levels is defined as the process of integrating an international, intercultural, or global dimension into the purpose, functions (Education, research and services) or delivery of postsecondary education. One of the components of Internationalization in higher education is interactions of Faculty Members. So the purpose of present research was identifying the obstacles to International Interactions of the Faculty Members in Iran. Method To achieve the purpose, a qualitative phenomenological approach was used. The research population was all experts in the field of higher education in Iran. A sample of 17 experts were selected through purposive sampling method and based on theoretical saturation. To collect the data, semistructured interview was used and for the data analysis, inductive content analysis was applied. Results The results showed that the obstacles to Faculty Members’ International Interactions can be defined in terms of three main obstacles: inside university obstacles (limited support of the university structure for Faculty Members’ International Interactions, limited support of university culture for Faculty Members’ International Interactions and limited financial support of university for Faculty Members’ International Interactions), outside university obstacles (impact of political tensions and international sanctions on Faculty Members’ International Interactions and cumbersome administrative regulations for visa issuance) and individual obstacles(low motivation of Faculty Members for International Interactions, poor mastery of Faculty Members of the international language and lack of scientific-research abilities of some of the Faculty Members). Discussion This study adds to our knowledge about International Interactions of the Faculty Members and also the barriers and challenges of these interactions, so to have more interactions of Faculty Members at the international level, universities should endeavor to identify the barriers and eliminate them urgently.
