People’S Attitudes

This article focuses on the attitude to innovations and the stress of innovations in higher education. Numerous researchers identify different types of learning (teaching) focused on more or less innovativeness, including more or less procedural, methodological, etc. creation. Thus, the traditional, reproductive and “theoretically oriented” type of education is associated with the retransmission, reproduction of social experience, the second, “practically oriented” – with a creative search based on the existing experience and thus with its enrichment. However, in reality it is impossible to find such forms and formats of teaching and upbringing, in which the practice of teaching was reduced only to the organization of pure reproduction of knowledge and skills, it is even more unrealistic to imagine teaching on an exclusively creative, practical, research, meta-subject basis beyond the reproductive retransmission of the most important knowledge and skills left by the predecessors to the living generations. We are usually talking about the quality and focus of education, its moral, ideological, social, psychological and other conditions and results. The authors discuss the concept of the stress of innovations. The stress of innovations in educational institutions is the stress that occurs in the process and as a result of the introduction of innovations in education. The innovations cause a situation that gives rise to stress and post-stress disorders in students and teachers (didactogenies in the forms of pediogeny, mathetogeny, eductogeny). The main goal of the study is to comprehend the types of people’s attitudes towards innovations in education in the context of the concept of innovation stress. The main method of this research was a theoretical analysis of the problematics of people’s attitudes to innovation in education in the context of the concept of innovation stress. All productive and effective innovations in education are connected by one idea – the creation of conditions under which the development of a person as a person, partner and student/professional is inevitable, and not just stated or impossible. When developing an integrative model for the prevention and overcoming of the stresses of innovation for students and teachers (in case of mathetogeny, pediogeny and eductogeny) it is important to set and solve the tasks of prevention and correction of stress in the context of the development of subjects of education in different contexts: in the context of educational, professional, personal and interactive development. Prevention and correction of stress in innovative education (and in the stress from innovation) is associated with the prevention and correction of pediogenies (harm caused by the wrong, destructive and pathological attitude of teachers to students), mathetogenies (harm caused by the wrong, destructive and pathological attitude of students to teachers), and eductogenies (harm associated with the deformation of organizational conditions and forms of training and education). One of the components of the work is psychological (psychotherapeutic) assistance to the subjects of education (in the form of one-time consultations and trainings, coaching and systematic support). Such assistance, even in the form of one-time consultations, should nevertheless be aimed at systematic, integrative prevention and correction of stresses in education, including the stresses of innovation.

<p>Although a number of claims have been made describing massive open online courses (MOOCs) as a disruptive innovation in education, these claims have not yet been proven through research. Instead, MOOCs should perhaps be considered as an integrative model for higher education systems, but to do so will require recognition of credentials. Initial experiments of MOOCs were not offer academic credit, but recently there have been some attempts to offer course credit for MOOCs or MOOC-like courses. However, does earning a credit will affect students’ performance and behavior in MOOCs has not been explored closely. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the effect of crediting on students’ achievement, perceived intrinsic and extrinsic goal orientations, and perceived course value. A causal comparative research design was applied. Data was collected via 516 responses to an online survey and achievement tests. Three credit conditions were compared: credit bearing, non-credit bearing, and credit careless. ANOVA results showed a significant difference between the credit bearing groups and non-credit bearing groups for all dependent variables. The credit bearing group also scored significantly higher achievement scores than the credit careless group. Credit clearly and significantly affected all dependent variables investigated in this study. Therefore, various possible models can be adopted by higher education institutions to integrate MOOCs as a credit. Further studies can explore the effects of credit on students’ online behaviors, such as engagement with online activities and user events on MOOC platforms.</p>

The article examines the problem of creating a comprehensive gender-sensitive educational space in the general secondary, vocational pre-higher, and higher education institutions in terms of finding ways to improve the quality of educational services for career guidance and professionalization of individuals in the new socio-cultural situation in modern Ukrainian society. The main provisions of the article reflect progressive ideas of international organizations and the requirements of Ukrainian legislation on equal rights and opportunities for men and women in all areas of human life, especially in education. The purpose of the article is to conduct a gender analysis of spatial and organizational conditions of educational institutions of different levels and substantiate a possibility of introducing a gender-sensitive approach in the general secondary, vocational pre-higher, and higher education institutions as a basis for quality assurance and professionalization of students. The study uses a comprehensive methodology of gender audit of educational institutions, which includes analysis of scientific and practical, as well as instructional and methodology literature, documents on the organization of educational process, questionnaires for teachers, monitoring of pedagogical communication, interviews with education providers and students, and preparation of a report and recommendations for improving the quality of the educational environment in terms of career guidance and professionalization of adolescents and youth. The results of the gender audit of educational institutions at various levels prove the link between a non-discriminatory environment and the efficiency of preparation of adolescents and youth for conscious and balanced professional choices. They show continuity of each level of education in the creation and cementing of gender stereotypes about social roles and division of professions by gender, which hinders successful professional self-determination of girls and boys; specific typical educational cases with latent discrimination and the reasons that cause lowering of the potential in students of both genders are presented. It is determined that the creation of gender-sensitive educational space promotes the development of critical thinking of adolescents and youth, rethinking and destruction of gender stereotypes in all participants of the educational process, their motivation for creative and innovative activities, their readiness to accept new ideas, and efficient career guidance. Practical recommendations for optimizing spatial and organizational conditions of educational institutions and providing educational services in the process of career guidance of school and college students have been developed.

New Challenges

Currently, traditional formal education has taken an unexpected turn due to the events caused by the pandemic as a consequence of COVID-19 and social distancing, leading to educational institutions changing the way of imparting knowledge and skills, study modalities, by strengthening and prioritizing virtual education and distance education (e-learning). Under this scenario, new challenges arise and adaptation and/or creation of new processes, which the different higher education institutions are forced to adapt to remain competitive in the market. The case of a higher education institution in Lima is presented, which, from the global crisis presented by COVID-19, had to adapt to a one hundred percent virtual education. The strategy defined by the business school and the monitoring of the implemented measures is favorably influencing the student experience.

Today, distance learning is no longer surprising, most educational institutions of various levels in Russia and abroad use distance technologies in the pedagogical process to one degree or another. Many students today consider this form of education as an alternative to the usual one, not only when receiving a second education, advanced training, but also choose this method for obtaining a first higher education. There is no escape from modern trends, and many universities understand this and are trying to develop in this direction. It is correct to say "distance learning" and not "distance education", because it is just a different way of forming a student's knowledge and skills, while the content of education remains unchanged. Medical education is a complex thing that requires a lot of energy, time and money, as well as certain practical skills, so the possibilities of distance learning in this regard are very limited. Such training is suitable only for professionals who want to improve their qualifications, especially when it comes to medical and diagnostic professions, or for future pharmacists, whose occupation is inextricably linked with medicine, but is still a separate field.

The dynamics of several demographic indicators of Russia - child and teenage cohorts in 1970-2000, life expectancy in 1995-2000, migration flows among federal districts in the period between two censuses of 1989 and 2002 - are considered in the article. The author puts forward the hypothesis about the influence of these indicators on the level of education in narrow and broad senses - in educational institutions and the society as a whole. He estimates the perspectives of regional higher educational institutions under conditions of absence of plan distribution of graduates and the double cyclical fall in the number of high school graduates. The agenda for the development of a two-stage system of higher education corresponding with international integration processes is formulated.
