State education business institutes are believed as catalyst for the economic progress (especial for commerce) of any country. In China, many regional higher education institutes (mainly be regional university) have been founded from 1998. From 2006, most of those regional higher education institutes, such as regional university, promoted to be comprehensive regional higher education institutes (CRHEIs) in succession. Now more andmore students studying in those CRHEIs, and then the quality of teaching should be improved. In this paper, we analyses ICT (Information and communication technology)–based teaching and learning issues at CRHEIs level and old higher education institutes (ORHEs) level. Using normative Delphi method, we discussed ICT-based issues and get that ICT integration in CRHE need to be in lined with proper strategy in order to get their true benefits.

The article is devoted to the problem of forming the intellectual potential of society due to the system of higher education and its quality. The author considers the factors, mechanisms, levels and stages of formation of the intellectual potential of society, as well as the relationship between the concepts of intellectual potential of society and intellectual culture, intellectual capital and scientific capital. Particular attention is paid to the role of university education in the process of forming the intellectual potential of society and ensuring the quality of education. The author analyzes the effectiveness of teaching an integrated, interdisciplinary course “Educology” for the development of intellectual potential of future professionals in education, emphasizes its theoretical and practical importance for understanding education in its dynamic development and promoting knowledge about achievements and contradictions in theory and practice of modern educational systems. The contribution of studying the course “Educology” in the study of the concept of “intellectual potential” as the ability of the social system to realize its potential, as well as the characteristics of its influence as a factor in creating a competitive society. The term “intellectual culture” is directly related to the concept of “intellectual potential”. It begins to be considered from the personality (microlevel), and then pass to another level (mesolevel), where the interaction of a set of individuals, i.e. groups. At this mesolevel, the intellectual potential of the team, institution, region, industry is already being formed. Ascending to the macro level, we determine the intellectual potential of the state, nation and society. If we talk about the intellectual potential of society, firm, enterprise, educated person, then it can be considered as available to society, enterprises, organizations stock of knowledge and information and its implementation through all components of “self-growth of value” and income by owners of knowledge and information». Intellectual potential is often understood as a set of opportunities to achieve certain goals through the systematic formation and use of intellectual resources for the analysis of economic and financial problems, development of creative ways to solve them, reasonable choice and implementation of management decisions. In a broad sense, the intellectual potential (of man, society) is a set of intellectual qualities (intellectual resources) that can be used by the system to solve problems of self-preservation and development. In a narrow sense, intellectual potential is identified either with the intellectual potential of man and the conditions of its reproduction, or with intellectual capital, in particular with its structural (organizational) component, which includes organizational and managerial experience, knowledge, skills, intellectual capital, corporate culture and others.

As innovation increasingly fuels economic growth, higher education institutions and systems face the challenge of equipping students with the skills required by innovative economies. Using two international surveys of tertiary education graduates five years after their graduation, we show that the innovative, tertiary-educated workforce comprises a mix of graduates holding degrees from all disciplines. The contribution to innovation of different graduates varies by type of innovation. When they assess the strong and weak points of their university education, graduates give a mixed picture of the quality of the education they have received. We then link the propensity to participate in innovation to the relative emphasis on theory and practice in university programmes and conclude by highlighting the importance of a competence-based approach to curriculum and pedagogy

The article analyzes the contribution of the professor of the Department of Pedagogy of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv A.D. Bondar in the development of theoretical principles and methods of conducting laboratory and practical classes in higher education, identifies the possibility of using this pedagogical experience in modern conditions. It is established that today the work and pedagogical activity of A.D. Bondar is insufficiently studied, although his work reflects the results of research on important didactic problems that are relevant today. It is analyzed that among the various types of classes in higher education an important place belongs to laboratory and practical work, because they follow one of the leading principles of didactics – the principle of connection of theory with practice. According to A.D. Bondar, laboratory and practical works are closely connected with lectures and independent work of students, they, with their proper organization, help students to creatively use the theoretical knowledge that they acquired during lectures and in the process of studying literary sources. This type of training activates the cognitive activity of students, gives them the opportunity to show initiative and ingenuity, better master the program material, get acquainted with the latest installations and devices, equipment and materials, experiment in laboratory or production conditions, helps teachers to involve students in research work, promotes the development of their thinking, ingenuity, innovation. According to A.D. Bondar, laboratory classes are an effective way to study the material, give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in practice and see the results of their work. At the same time, many factors significantly reduce the effectiveness of this important type of training. It is proved that the improvement of the quality of laboratory classes can help, in particular, the implementation of guidelines developed by A.D. Bondar almost half a century ago.
