У статті відстоюється положення, що духовну безпеку населення України здатне забезпечити лише демократичне правове суспільство, побудоване на основі правової компетентності та соціальної дові-ри його громадян, вияву високої громадянської позиції; одним із перспективних шляхів підтримання у суспільстві сталості і духовної безпеки, втілення ідей рівності і недискримінації є підвищення рівня правової культури та освіченості.Вищу освіту розглянуто як чинник розбудови правової держави, де правова культура громадян тісно пов’язана з усіма елементами правової системи формування правової культури молоді. Формування правової культури студентства визначене як тривалий процес, що реалізується в основному у середо-вищі ЗВО, визначає ступінь і характер правового розвитку особистості в суспільній правовій культурі, тісно взаємопов’язане з правовою освіченістю людини, зокрема, її розвиненою правосвідомістю, вмін-нями і навичками реалізовувати свої права, підпорядкувати поведінку вимогам правових норм.На основі аналізу наукової літератури встановлено, що складниками правової культури студентства є: повага до правових норм суспільства; наявність дієвих правових знань, норм права; висока культура, широка ерудованість; правові навички щодо реалізації суб’єктивних прав і свобод; особисто вмотиво-вана стала правомірна поведінка; громадсько-правова активність.Доведено, що у середовищі ЗВО є потреба у створенні цілісної системи формування правової куль-тури студентства із застосуванням різноманітних механізмів заохочення громадянської активності молоді, поширення студентського самоврядування, розвитку форм волонтерської діяльності та взаємо-допомоги. Визначено й охарактеризовано основні структурні компоненти системи формування право-вої культури студентської молоді у ЗВО: цільовий (формування всіх складників правової культури сту-дентства на основі принципів поінформованості та знань, доступності правової допомоги і підтримки, індивідуального підходу та толерантного ставлення; дотримання безпеки); суб’єкт-суб’єктний (надава-чі освітніх послуг, споживачі освітніх послуг, а також освітні стейкхолдери); організаційно-змістовий (зміст навчання студентів, специфіка виховної роботи та рівень студентського самоврядування тощо).

Comparative Information

Despite the importance of labour and overhead costs to both funders and performers of research in South Africa, there is little published information on the remuneration structures for researchers, technician and research support staff. Moreover, there are widely different pricing practices and perceptions within the public research and higher education institutions, which in some cases do not reflect the underlying costs to the institution or the inherent value of the research. In this article, data from the 2004/5 Research and Development Survey have been used to generate comparative information on the cost of research in various performance sectors. It is shown that this cost is lowest in the higher education institutions, and highest in the business sector, although the differences in direct labour and overheads are not as large as may have been expected. The calculated cost of research is then compared with the gazetted rates for engineers, scientists and auditors performing work on behalf of the public sector, which in all cases are higher than the research sector. This analysis emphasizes the need within the public research and higher education institutions for the development of a common pricing policy and for an annual salary survey, in order to dispel some of the myths around the relative costs of research, the relative levels of overhead ratios and the apparent disparity in remuneration levels.

This technology is based on the following developed in the study: 1) concentric model of information technology of digital transformation of higher education institutions, which allows to integrate methods and tools of information management to create a single higher education institutions digital space; 2 functionally independent method of information management of higher education institutions, which allows to create universal tools of informatization, which are independent of the composition and specifics of the construction of the created tools of solving functional problems; 3) interlayer information interaction methods, providing reflection in the processes of each of the layers of changes in the information environment of neighboring layers. The results of the study were used in the construction of information and analytical system of the university educational activities support, which was developed and implemented at Cherkasy State Technological University.

Didactic Lecture

This chapter examines why despite decades of research and overwhelming evidence questioning the pedagogical effectiveness of lecturing as a teaching and learning strategy, it remains the dominant pedagogical mode in most higher education institutions worldwide. The authors explore further why lectures are not the most appropriate teaching strategy in the current higher education climate for three main reasons: the way we now view ‘knowledge’; the information society in which we are currently immersed; and the diverse background and experience of today’s student population. The authors offer an alternative to the lecture which can achieve what a lecture aims to, but in a more student-centred way. Their alternative is informed by the contributing student approach, devised by Collis & Moonen (2001), whereby students collaboratively find, explore, share, and engage with the content which they would have otherwise received passively via a didactic lecture.
