Apprenticeship is a contractual form of work-based learning that has existed for centuries, but despite its historical impact on innovation and competitiveness, it has been perceived as a system for the shop floor or low-skill jobs. The dual apprenticeship system combines school study with training on the job. Well developed in several European countries it can lead to highly qualified jobs, so attracting the interest of universities and other higher education institutions. Academic, business and government stakeholders working together enact a Triple Helix (TH) framework. This article analyses how the TH is suitable for the governance of apprenticeship systems and discusses the implications of the model.

AbstractThis article explores the importance of motivating factors for the international mobility of undergraduate students who participated in a mobility programme and completed part of their studies at selected higher education institutions. The empirical research was conducted on a population of 3,539 mobile undergraduate students, who took part in mobility programmes between 2006 and 2011 at three selected higher education institutions in three different European countries (1 - Germany: Duale Hochschule Baden‑Württemberg Karlsruhe, 2 - Norway: University of Tromsø, 3 - Slovenia: University of Primorska, Faculty of Management). The purpose of this article is to present the underlying motivating factors in relation to the selected institution on a sample of 288 undergraduate students during the period studied. On the basis of these findings, we came to the conclusion that most of the students participated in students’ mobility programmes especially to gain international study and life experiences. Furthermore, we established a statistically significant difference in the duration of a mobility period in connection with gender and the satisfaction with the mobility programme.

The article touches upon the problems of modernizing the professional preparation of the students of pedagogical Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). It proves that the deepening of market relations and the contemporary level of the development of public life put great demands on the HEIs in terms of preparing highly qualified specialists. Due to the socio-economic transformations,  it is required that the entire education system of pedagogical HEIs should be reformed and a new graduate model should be elaborated. Among the significant problems, the authors single out the modernization of the system of the specialist preparation, the elaboration of new integrated educational strategies, models and technologies for the development of higher education systems, mutual understanding and collaboration among various education systems. Therefore the issues of the future specialists’ professional competency, reflective teaching/learning, the development of meta-competences, competitiveness and media literacy come to the fore. The solution to these problems implies a change in the requirements of the HEI graduate model, approaches and expected outcomes. The problem of developing a new methodology for the preparation of specialists in pedagogy at HEIs and improving the quality of the professional preparation should be considered in terms of functional, systematic, cultural, competence and anthropological approaches. The article provides justification for the claim that the process of the future pedagogues’ professional preparation should be regarded as the integrity of interrelated structural components, including the aim, content, management, operation, outcome. The effectiveness of the professional preparation at contemporary pedagogical HEIs is conditioned by certain managerial functions, principles, methods, implementation of innovations into the management of the higher education policy and the modernization of the content of the graduate model. The article presents social pedagogical conditions for the effective preparation of the HEI students and highlights a number of factors that contribute to the effectiveness of this process.

Abstract In the article, the importance of studying foreign experience in order to improve quality of future Masters’ training in higher education institutions has been justified. The main peculiarities of training Masters in Technology education in European countries, namely, in Germany, Sweden and France have been outlined. It has been revealed that European education systems aim at developing future handicraft and technology teachers’ practical abilities and skills. It has been established that organization of teacher placements in each European country somehow differs: in Germany, teacher placement lasts approximately one or two years; in Sweden, teacher placement is rather cross-cutting; in France, teacher placement contributes to individualizing future technology teachers’ training. It has been determined that syllabi for training handicraft and home economics teachers in Germany are oriented toward not a specific discipline, but toward a set of specialties within the framework of general professional industry. It has been specified that modern challenges and paradigm shifts in education have led to implementation of the latest reform in training Future Masters in Technology Education in Sweden. It has been justified that modern French teacher education, in particular, education of technology teachers, is based on the principles of individualization. It has been noted that syllabi of European higher education institutions are rather variative, yet they always contain three types of disciplines – compulsory, partially elective and completely elective. Based on the research findings, it has been concluded that exchanging experience is extremely necessary nowadays and will contribute to improving Ukrainian system of teacher education. It has been determined that education systems in Germany, Sweden and France possess several advantages, namely, information openness, a diversified network of higher education institutions, favourable conditions for lifelong learning.

Nowadays, students expect that their university will not only provide a valuable source of practical knowledge for them, but will also be ready to offer appropriate distance learning opportunities both on a daily basis to diversify and enrich the study process experience and during global pandemic crises, which will probably be the reality of their lives in the next decades. The novelty and topicality of this study is justified by the need to assess the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the European Union higher education system and its adaptability to switch from traditional to remote study forms. The objectives of the study were: 1) to analyse the need to improve digital skills in the European Union by investigating the achievements of the Digital Economy and Society Index; 2) to assess the current digital environment of Latvian public universities and conduct an in-depth study of the digital environment of Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies. The research methodology is based on the desk study, social survey, comparative analysis and logical construction research methods. The results of the study revealed the digital gap that still exists between the more developed Nordic European countries and the less developed Southern and Eastern European countries. However, detailed analysis of the situation in Latvia leads to the conclusion that Latvian higher education institutions have significantly increased the amount of digital content in both external and internal communication systems and can offer competitive educational services that comply with the contemporary education requirements.

The need to train highly qualified translators necessitates the need to train professional translation teachers in higher education institutions of Ukraine. The purpose of our work is to analyze the situation in the field of training translation teachers in higher education institutions of Ukraine and other countries, analyze the ways and methods of training translation teachers today and develop proposals for possible formats for training these specialists. In order to determine the requirements for translation teachers and determine the conceptual and categorical apparatus of our research we used a number of methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization of scientific and educational sources (Ukrainian and foreign ones), as well as observation, questionnaires and surveys to identify problems in the professional growth of translation teachers. It was revealed that today there is a situation when translation is taught either by the translators who do not have pedagogical education, or by the teachers of foreign languages who do not have translator’s diplomas and often do not have practical translation experience. Both categories require additional training that complements their education. The current system of short-term advanced training courses does not fully meet the task of filling gaps in the professional education of translation teachers. The author suggests the development and implementation of programs for retraining and training translation teachers that can be provided for different content depending on the previous experience of translation teachers. In both types of programs, the pedagogical and translation components of education will complement each other, so that graduates will be able to form the educational competencies necessary for a qualified translation teacher in higher education institutions. Special attention should be paid to translation didactics which has not yet been taught either in educational program for training translators, or in programs for training and advanced training of teachers. The prospects for further scientific research in this direction consist in designing and developing with taking into account modern achievements in science and practice of translating the content of the program and implementing it in higher education institutions that need such programs.Key words: translation teachers, educational program, translation, retraining program, advanced training, higher education institutions. Необхідність підготовки висококваліфікованих перекладачів диктує необхідність підготовки професійних викладачів перекладу в закладах вищої освіти України. Метою нашої роботи є аналіз ситуації у сфері підготовки викладачів перекладу у закладах вищої освіти України та інших країн, аналіз способів і методів підготовки викладачів перекладу сьогодні та вироблення пропозиції щодо можливих форматів підготовки цих фахівців. Задля визначення вимог до викладачів перекладу та поняттєво-кате-горіального апарату дослідження було використано низку методів, таких як аналіз, синтез, порівняння й узагальнення науково-освітніх джерел (вітчизняних і закордонних), а також спостереження, анкетування та опитування для виявлення проблем у професійному зростанні викладачів перекладу. Було виявлено, що сьогодні склалася ситуація, коли перекладу навчають або перекладачі, які не мають педагогічної освіти, або викладачі іноземних мов, які не мають диплома перекладача і часто не мають практичного досвіду перекладу. Обидві категорії потребують додаткової підготовки, яка доповнювала б їх освіту. Наявна система короткострокових курсів підвищення кваліфікації не зовсім відповідає завданню заповнення прогалин у професійній освіті викладачів перекладу. Автором пропонується розроблення та впровадження програм для перепідготовки та підготовки викладачів перекладу, що передбачає різне наповнення залежно від їхнього попереднього досвіду. В обох типах програм педагогічний і перекладацький компоненти освіти будуть доповнювати один одного, отже, випускники зможуть сформувати освітні компетентності, необхідні для кваліфікованого викладача перекладу у закладах вищої освіти. Особливу увагу необхідно зосередити на перекладацькій дидактиці, яка досі не викладалася ні в освітніх програмах підготовки перекладачів, ні в програмах підготовки та підвищення кваліфікації викладачів. Перспективи подальших наукових пошуків у цьому напрямі полягають у проєктуванні та розробленні з урахуванням сучасних досягнень у науці та практиці перекладу змістового наповнення такої програми та впровадження її у закладах вищої освіти, які цього потребують.Ключові слова: викладачі перекладу, освітня програма, переклад, програма перепідготовки, підвищення кваліфікації, заклади вищої освіти.
