The purpose of the article is to propose the indicators for the evaluation and monitoring activity, thedeveloping structure and functioning of business incubators located in the academic environment whichwould allow the organization of internal and external processes for researchers and students. The success ofa business incubator in the university environment represents primarily its value for the university and for theeconomic environment and the ability to react quickly to changing conditions inside and outside and developing the entrepreneurial ecosystem at national level. The degree of development of university incubators, thecapacity and quality of their functioning depends not only on the intensity of the support of the environment inwhich they operate, but also on their efficiency through attractiveness, promoting viable businesses and atthe same time being an alternative source of financing and propelling potential entrepreneurs.

Self-study skills are one of the soft skills that play an extremely important role for students in the university environment. However, some universities in Vietnam, at present, have not introduced this skill into teaching soft skills, including Tra Vinh University. Self-study skills determine the majority of students’ learning outcomes, but in fact, not many students are aware of this. By questionnaires and in-depth interviews conducted in May 2019, the authors wish to present the current situation of self-study skills of students of the Department of State Management, Office Administration and Tourism, thereby proposing solutions of integrating self-study skills into specialized knowledge teaching in order to improve the learning quality of students of the Faculty in particular and Tra Vinh University in general.

Educational research constitutes a major lever for socio-economic development. It contributes to improving the quality of training, and developing the improvement of education and teaching. However, no training establishment for educational executives belonging to the Moroccan education sector appears today among research operators at the national level. To determine the current state of educational research carried out in this sector, we analyze the contents of the national education and training charter, the emergency program and the strategic vision of the reform. The results show that educational research, as the ultimate goal of the national education sector, has performed poorly on several indicators. The recovery from a pessimistic situation requires, first of all, the establishment of adequate research structures, connected to the university and accredited. In addition, the structures must be made permanent and exercising their missions in liaison with the field. Finally, they would need to be equipped with effective steering mechanisms, allowing the implementation of theoretical and practical aspects of educational research.

The article discusses the significance of responsibility in providing safety of the environment surrounding the person. The problem is caused by the contradiction between the human need for security and impossibility in many cases to satisfy it because of inadequate fulfilment of the duties by employees. The purpose of the article is to outline the ways of solving this contradiction by pedagogical means. The methodological basis of the research is systematic, activity-based, and subject-subject approaches. The author reveals the essential features of responsible behavior and prerequisites for the formation of a responsible person: macro-level (organization of public life); family and other micro-communities; educational institutions. Importance of effort consolidation of all subjects of pedagogical influence for solving urgent educational problems is noted. The role of certain principles of education in the formation of a responsible person in the past and at the present stage is shown. Particular attention is paid to the role of higher education in the formation of responsibility, since it is in the university environment where students develop such patterns of behavior that afterwards may be used in public and everyday life, and in their profession. This approach makes a purely pedagogical issue socially important.

Introduction. The article reflects the authors’ system for calculating the level and quality of digitalization of the educational process in Russian universities. This task is actualized by a number of circumstances of modern realities. The need to create a digital twin / double for each university has become a trend due to the importance of providing applicants, students and graduates with the most accessible educational environment. The high-quality digital environment of a university during the spread of pandemics is an important condition for maintaining the stability of the educational process. Today, the ability of universities to quickly adapt the digital educational space to the needs of distance learning is a significant sign of the viability and quality of the management staff of higher education institutions. Methods and materials. To develop the system, the authors used a mathematical tool – the method of summary indicators for calculating the level of digitalization of universities, which allows to evaluate various characteristics of the value, efficiency and quality of objects with a significant number of different parameters. Analysis. To develop indicators – basic rating indicators – the authors used the results of a preliminary study of the best practices of digitalization of the university environment of leading foreign and Russian universities. The system takes into account the needs for digitalization of the educational environment of three different categories: applicants, students and graduates. Results. The introduction of the rating into the Russian practice will allow to justify a system of recommendations to university administrations to improve the level and quality of their digitalization of the educational process.

Modern life is improving as a result of the research that corporations, research centres, and universities, in particular, conduct. Moreover, besides their teaching function, the quantity and quality of universities’ research activities comprise an essential criterion for measuring the university’s quality. Today, universities around the world face global competition. Although one facet of the effort to attract productive researchers entails offering more and more, individual incentives are not enough. Universities must also create an attractive academic environment for researchers. This study sought answers to the following question: “What incentives and requirements are necessary to create a productive academic environment?” As the result of a literature review in pursuit of the study aim, the study findings include a total of 10 incentives for researchers and requirements for universities to build a productive research environment in academia.

Business incubators that are hosted by universities provide researchers and students from first cycle (undergraduate), second cycle (master), and third cycle (PhD) with ample opportunities for self-realization. However, these incubators primarily offer support in advising and developing new projects, such as creating competencies in research and applying new technologies, but they do not fully provide the entrepreneurial culture and leadership skills necessary for young entrepreneurs to turn ideas into reality. In this regard, it is very important to elaborate and create the structure of internal and external processes of the incubator right from the beginning. It is necessary to substantiate in detail the allocation of each element and determine the stakeholders and the type of activity, that form the model for structure and functionality of a business incubator hosted by a university. The purpose of the article is to reveal the methodological aspects oriented towards the formation of the structure and functioning of business incubators located in the academic environment which would allow the organization of internal and external processes for researchers and students of different cycles. It was found that the business incubator located within the University environment is a link within a complex system whose success depends on external factors, such as the macroeconomic situation, legal system in which the incubator carries out its activity and entrepreneurial culture, but also on internal factors, such as: technical-scientific, the abilities of the academic (university) staff, team activity, access to financial sources and programs, etc. The methodology of structuring university business incubators and their internal processes is an important factor in their development, as it provides an opportunity to evaluate and monitor the activities of these incubators.

In contrast to the traditional view on economics, related to productivity and economic growth, we focus our attention on the development of modern technologies, services, and the knowledge economy. The fast pace of technology innovations requires higher-quality education. In this matter, the objects of the research are universities that influence the population and economic development as well as the regional development as one of the involved institutions. The paper deals with the contextual analysis of the university environment within the conditions of regions in the Slovak Republic upon the selected subindexes, such as macroeconomic performance and stability, innovation policy, institutional quality, and the quality of human resources. The differences between the regions are analyzed through the Index of the quality of regional university environment (IQRUE) that enabled to recognize these differences better. The ranking of the regions has been created according to a daily index when interpreting the results by the comparison of each region. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Spearman’s ranking correlation coefficient were used to testing the relationship between GDP and science and research expenses. The results are presented in the tables and graphs. The conducted research enabled the identification of the deficiencies of the university environment in every region of Slovakia. As a result, some universities are disadvantaged within the competition. Continuous elimination of deficiencies should not be a priority of universities only, however, the entire society should prioritize it. The state, local self-government bodies should play the leading role to create the conditions to improve the quality of the university environment and pay attention mostly to the disadvantaged regions.
