The Bologna Process

The creation and improvement of modern information technologies require higher education institutions to introduce new approaches to learning, ensuring the development of communicative, creative and professional knowledge, and the need for self-education. The introduction of information technology in the educational process of universities is moving to a new stage - the introduction of new multimedia educational materials. A large number of diverse information resources are being created in Russia, which have significantly improved the quality of educational and scientific activities. More and more often multimedia technologies are used in training, the spectrum of which has expanded significantly: from the creation of training programs to the development of a holistic concept for building educational programs in the field of multimedia, the formation of new learning tools. Methodically, the textbooks are structured in such a way that they meet the programs of leading universities in Europe and the requirements of a credit-modular system for organizing the educational process, which laid the foundation in our country like the ECTS system adopted in the Bologna process. The practical value lies in the fact that the textbooks allow students, bachelors, masters and graduate students of technical universities to independently master the knowledge of modern electronics. The materials of the textbook will help specialists in practice in the development, implementation and operation of electronic devices and systems, which are an integral part of electrical, radio engineering, telecommunications, computer, biomedical and other devices and complexes, technological equipment for automating technological processes, marine, space and defense equipment.

The article analyzes the issues of creating and implementing international joint educational programmes as a mandatory element for internationalization of all aspects of university activities. The participation of Russian universities in the Bologna process and in the formation of the European Higher Education Area allowed them not only to expand the scale of cooperation with leading foreign universities, but also to gain valuable practical experience in organizing joint educational activities in the framework of international educational programmes leading students to obtain degrees from several universities. The article examines in detail the readiness of Russian universities to implement such programmes, as well as the attitude of employers in Russia towards them. Speaking of the need to increase the competitiveness of Russian universities, the development of international joint programmes is revealed through the prism of exporting educational services to other countries. It is concluded that, studying in international joint programmes, students generate unique skills that are in demand in the international labor market, owing to their development by innovative approaches in the field of higher education through international inter-university cooperation in the field of education. The article also demonstrates the experience of Lobachevsky University in implementing international cooperation with foreign universities, which can be used by other Russian universities in the creation and implementation of international joint programmes.

This article draws on data from six European countries (Denmark, England, Germany, Ireland, Poland and Spain) to explore the higher education timescapes inhabited by students. Despite arguments that degree-level study has become increasingly similar across Europe – because of global pressures and also specific initiatives such as the Bologna Process and the creation of a European Higher Education Area – it shows how such timescapes differed in important ways, largely by nation. These differences are then explained in terms of: the distinctive traditions of higher education still evident across the continent; the particular mechanisms through which degrees are funded; and the nature of recent national-level policy activity. The analysis thus speaks to debates about Europeanisation, as well as how we theorise the relationship between time and place.

This paper intends to explore the scientific research model developed at the European University of Tirana (UET), a private higher education institution in Albania. This requires for a reconsideration of the position of private universities in the higher education system in Albania, not just as profitable entities, but as institutions that provide public services for citizens in the country. The paper adopts a qualitative methodology approach, i.e. it applies document analysis and literature review in order to explore the development of the scientific research model in UET. The materials consulted include documents related to the Bologna Process; legislation of higher education in Albania; policies, guidelines and procedures of UET regarding scientific research. The paper suggests that private universities in Albania, albeit being recently established, enjoy more opportunities and freedom to develop new models for conducting scientific research. The analysis of the UET scientific research model shows that UET has adopted the most advanced Western approaches and the best practices from the Anglo-Saxon universities, bringing innovation in vision, research policies, procedures, practices and forms. The paper identifies the main principles upon which the scientific research of UET is built: (i) the connection and reflection of scientific research activities in the teaching process; (ii) the students’ involvement in research activities; (iii) further qualification of academic staff including doctoral candidates; (iv) the connection between scientific research and the market. The paper argues that this model should be supported by new policies to better regulate the financing scheme of higher education in Albania, in order to provide private universities with more opportunities to further develop their scientific research. This will also lead to an increased confidence from the side of the business sector to trust private universities with their market research and other related projects.

The Bologna Process

This article contributes to the conceptual and empirical distinction between (the assessment of) appraisals of teaching behavior and (the assessment of) self-reported competence acquirement within academic course evaluation. The Bologna Process, the current higher-education reform in Europe, emphasizes education aimed toward vocationally oriented competences and demands the certification of acquired competences. Currently available evaluation questionnaires measure the students’ satisfaction with a lecturer’s behavior, whereas the “Evaluation in Higher Education: Self-Assessed Competences” (HEsaCom) measures the students’ personal benefit in terms of competences. In a sample of 1403 German students, we administered a scale of satisfaction with teaching behavior and the German version of the HEsaCom at the same time. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the estimated correlations between the various scales of self-rated competences and teaching behavior appraisals were moderate to strong, yet the constructs were shown to be empirically distinct. We conclude that the self-rated gains in competences are distinct from satisfaction with course and instructor. In line with the higher education reform, self-reported gains in competences are an important aspect of academic course evaluation, which should be taken into account in the future and might be able to restructure the view of “quality of higher education.” The English version of the HEsaCom is presented in the Appendix .

The Bologna Process

The Bologna Process, Information and Communication Technology, and market forces have brought manyinnovations and great changes to higher education systems throughout Europe. Reforms in higher educationhave taken a new direction, towards making higher education students more autonomous. However, manycountries have not really adopted this innovative way of teaching and still maintain an old ‘transmission’ stylewhich often entails teachers trying to pour knowledge into the minds of their students. Promoting autonomouslearning (the ability of students to manage their own learning) in higher education is crucial both for theindividual and society, as the idea of an academic student comprises critical reflective thinking and theimportance of becoming an independent learner. This article will discuss the importance of promotingautonomous learning throughout self, peer and co-assessment for higher education quality enhancement. Thepaper will examine the case of International Black Sea University’s MA students enrolled in the Higher EducationManagement program. The analyses of a survey will be used to discuss the significance of autonomous learningfor students and their readiness for self, peer and co-assessment.
