The relevance of the problem is due to the fact that the system of education in the global educational environment turned to be dependable from the challenges of a dynamic socio-cultural reality. High-technological industry with the growing role of knowledge in all the spheres of life activity, and in the sphere of an intellectual labour implies reconsideration of higher school functions as valuable social institutions. The article reveals the potential of higher schools connected with regeneration of knowledge, and with an efficient development of professional-corporative identity of the personnel, interaction with stake-holders, and regeneration of the crisis of reliability in the educational organization. The problem of preserving humanitarian values of education in the process of training as an active subject of knowledge society continues to be principally essential. Therefore, there appeared the need to search for a relatively new socio-cultural model of the university, which will be able to preserve an idea of humanity and fundamentality of higher education. The authors’ scientific positions will be of interest to the University-teachers, the researchers, the young scientists and the post-graduate students.

In the context of socio-pedagogical transformations of higher education organizations, modernization of the system of teachers’ professional development, which are now facing global challenges and requirements from new geopolitical conditions, becomes an integral component of their reform. All this causes the need for teachers to be ready for continuous development and advanced training throughout their lives. Thus, the study of the problem of university teachers’ professional development in Russia and abroad is very relevant and timely as a response to the modern requirements of civil society for the personality of the teachers and their activities in the conditions of international educational integration. The need for professional development among teachers is closely related to the desire for more successful indicators in pedagogical activities. To do this, it is necessary to fulfill several pedagogical conditions, including the teacher's own awareness of the need for professional development; the interest of the university administration and the availability of resources to organize a professional development system; having a goal and choosing a professional development model, etc. The purpose of the article is to show models of individualization of the teachers’ professional development abroad, which are aimed at improving the professional qualifications of university teachers, ensuring their adaptation and successful activity in a constantly changing educational society. Research results: 1. The article presents the possibilities of benchmarking in education, in particular, the use of a benchmarking project as a method of studying the successful experience of organizing the teachers’ professional development in a modern university. 2. Based on the analysis of the best practices of university teachers’ professional development, authors identify three main models of implementation of teachers’ professional development in higher education organizations. These models can serve as a guide for Russian higher education reformers in the context of state educational policy. The article concludes that effective European models of teachers’ professional development, identified by using the benchmarking technology, can be successfully implemented in Russian universities under certain conditions.

The paper considers the growing diversity of higher education systems and institutions by exploring three main trends of expansion, differentiation and globalisation together with linked features concerning new forms of governance and more responsive relationships with other social institutions. At the heart of this expansion and differentiation are a number of tensions concerning the role of modern higher education systems: to do with balancing autonomy and responsiveness, reproductive and transformative functions, public and private benefits, economic and broader socio-political agendas. The paper goes on to ask whether future knowledge societies will continue to need separate institutions of ‘higher’ education and, if the answer is yes, what form these will take.

One of the key problems of modern higher education is the development of programs and teaching methods relevant to the conditions of the digital educational environment, characterized by openness, variability, multiculturalism, polymodality and dynamism. At the same time, the question of the psychological readiness of teachers for activities in the new conditions comes to the fore. The article gives a brief overview of the works on the issue of readiness. The predictors of the university teachers’ readiness for activities in the electronic informational and educational environment are described. The role of the variative and invariant aspects of teachers’ readiness for changes in the system of higher education is shown. A model of the university teachers’ readiness for professional activities in the context of digitalization of education is proposed, which includes selfregulatory, motivational, value-semantic, and operational components; possible methods for diagnosing these components are described.

The paper substantiates the importance of the implementation of personality-oriented education in higher education. The author reveals specifics of personality-oriented education at the university, an integral component of which is subjectivity. The author substantiates the legitimacy of extrapolating the ideas of personality-oriented education, the implementation of which is effective in a secondary school, to the university educational process and proposes the formulation of these ideas in relation to the university: the idea of recognizing a particular students personality value; development of the students personal experience; the ascent of the student to culture. The role of a university teacher in the implementation of personality-oriented education ideas in the process of interaction with students is revealed and the need to identify the value foundations of the university teachers orientation towards the implementation of such ideas is substantiated. The author considers that knowledge has a direct impact on human morality, the development of which is carried out through the choice of values and their subsequent appropriation by a person. The author also reveals the role of the teachers moral consciousness in understanding the value foundations of the orientation towards the implementation of personality-oriented education ideas. An example of determining the value foundations of personality-oriented education idea as the recognition of the value of a particular students personality is given and it is substantiated that this value basis is the value of good. The author proves that it is possible to assess the implementation of personality-oriented education ideas according to moral criteria, in the role of which are the values that take on the meaning as values for oneself and for another, the concepts of morality good, duty, mercy, justice, honor. It is substantiated that the axiological space of the university filled with values, the meaning of which is acquired by the concepts of morality, can become a means of teachers orientation towards the implementation of personality-oriented education ideas.

The changing structure of the Swedish university system has shaped its corps of university teachers. The analytical device used to demonstrate this connection is the changing social functions of Swedish universities which serve as the lens through which we understand this change. We argue for five successive and historically added layers of functions: the training of church officials, state functionaries, experts of the industrial society, the welfare professions, and, finally, the mass of employees of the “knowledge society.” Each new function is superimposed on the existing ones, adding to the complexity of tasks, areas of knowledge, and teacher categories in the universities. The position of the university as the arbiter of the highest form of knowledge, the internal differentiation of the field of higher education, and the growth and stratification of its teaching corps are three main building blocks for this history of the Swedish system of higher education.

The conditions are investigated in which Spanish university teachers carry out their teaching and research functions. 655 teachers from the University of Oviedo took part in this study by completing the Academic Setting Evaluation Questionnaire (ASEQ). Of the three dimensions assessed in the ASEQ, Satisfaction received the lowest ratings, Social Climate was rated higher, and Relations with students was rated the highest. These results are similar to those found in two studies carried out in the academic years 1986/87 and 1989/90. Their relevance for higher education is twofold because these data can be used as a complement of those obtained by means of students' opinions, and the crossing of both types of data can facilitate decision making in order to improve the quality of the work (teaching and research) of the university institutions.
