This study was administered to determine the perspective of Pangasinan State University – Open University Systems (PSU-OUS) towards internationalization as perceived by the academic unit’s professors as the initial step for its implementation and realization. The method of research that was used in the study is descriptive. Total population sampling technique was used in determining the respondents, all of whom 20 faculty members of PSU-OUS. Mean average and 4-point Likert scale were used in analyzing and interpreting the data gathered. The questionnaire was validated by experts which include deans and directors in the graduate school level to ensure its validity and reliability. Google Forms were used as data gathering tool. The level of readiness of PSU-OUS in internationalization as perceived by faculty members is moderately ready. The faculty members’ level of understanding towards internationalization is also moderate in extent. Further, faculty members perceived a high extent of opportunity in relation to internationalization. Finally, faculty members discern the internationalization challenges as less serious in PSU-OUS. PSU-OUS and other institutions across the world should give emphasis on indicators in the understanding of internationalization such as international students’ recruitment, facilities and support system and diversity of income generation. Institutions should intensify its awareness on internationalization through seminars and forums. Further, the institutions should review its policies regarding the perceived very serious challenges of internationalization such as high cost of investing in building and infrastructure, lack of efficient quality assurance mechanism, and lack of stakeholders’ and staff orientation.

潘加斯南州立大学的国际化视野：开放大学系统

进行这项研究是为了确定Pangasinan州立大学-开放大学系统（PSU-OUS）对国际化的看法，这是该学术单位的教授认为是实施和实现该计划的第一步。研究中使用的研究方法具有描述性。总人口抽样技术用于确定受访者，所有受访者均为PSU-OUS的20名教师。均值和4点Likert量表用于分析和解释收集的数据。该问卷已由包括研究生院级院长和董事在内的专家验证，以确保其有效性和可靠性。Google表单被用作数据收集工具。教职员工对国际化中PSU-OUS的准备程度已经足够了。教职员工对国际化的理解程度也中等。此外，教职员工认为与国际化有关的机会很大。最后，教师们认为国际化挑战在PSU-OUS中并不那么严重。PSU-OUS和世界各地的其他机构应着重于了解国际化的指标，例如国际学生的招生，设施和支持系统以及创收的多样性。机构应通过研讨会和论坛增强其对国际化的认识。此外，各机构应审查其有关被认为非常严重的国际化挑战的政策，例如在建筑和基础设施方面的高投资成本，
