This article is devoted to solving the problem of systematizing the existing concepts of innovation in higher education, reflecting the new vision of the university by modern scientists. The author studied the content and conducted a comparative analysis of various concepts relating to the emergence of the future image of the University. First of all, these are the works of the classics of post-industrialism, who defined science and education as a new industry within the emerging knowledge economy and noted the need to form, in this regard, a new type of University. Important potential for understanding the role and place of the University, as well as to get an idea of its supposed (futuristic) model in the new realities have the concepts of innovatization of higher education, the analysis of which is given most of the article. Under the concepts of innovatization of higher education in the article we understand the concept of modern scientists who consider the transformation of the traditional University in its innovative model that meets the needs of the economy and society focused on innovation. The concepts of innovatization are also divided into several types, grouped according to the relevant features, which suggests the possibility of transition to the innovative model of the University in different ways.

In the XXI century distance learning has become one of the most popular educational formats in higher education. The main driver of distance learning is the new needs of the labor market, requiring employees who are ready to adapt to changing conditions of the market and are included in the process of continuous self-improvement. Until now, the major part of the achievements of distance learning lay in the field of the humanities or special technical disciplines and was almost not integrated into the teaching of Mathematics in universities. We have developed and implemented a model of distance learning, adapted to the existing conditions for the teaching of mathematical disciplines in universities. The model, which was empirically tested during experiments conducted in the period from 2004 to 2018 at Southwestern State University and the Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, demonstrated its effectiveness.

Mengusung Pembelajaran Sastra Lisan Gambang Rancag Betawi Menuju Pembelajaran Inovatif. Tujuan menulis makalah ini adalah untuk mengembangkan pembelajaran sastra lisan agar tidak terkungkung pada pembelajaran teks. Selain itu, bertujuan untuk mebuat pembelajaran sastra lisan lebih kreatif dan inovatif. Diketahui bahwa pembelajaran sastra lisan selama ini, baik di sekolah maupun di perguruan tinggi para pembelajar tidak digiring pada pembelajaran model kelisanan sebuah materi sastra lisan, termasuk memaknai teks lisan itu dengan konteksnya sehingga teks lisan yang dimaknai kehilangan maknanya secara utuh karena hanya memaknai objek (materi) sebagian. Metode pembelajaran sastra lisan gambang rancag Betawi seutuhnya diarahkan pada pembelajaran yang inovatif, yaitu menggunakan media teks pertunjukan untuk mengenali konteks sebuah materi pembelajaran. Pendekatannya dengan teori Joice dan Weil (1986), sebagai langkah pembelajaran sastra lisan dengan objek teks pertunjukan dikenali bentuk kelisanannya, sementara melalui konteks, pembelajar bisa menandai makna isi cerita sesuai konteksnya, termasuk fungsi dari cerita yang di tampilkan. Berdasarkan bentuknya akan ditunjukkan sebuah pertunjukan cerita rakyat Betawi sehingga secara utuh pemaknaan pembelajaran sastra lisan sebagai muatan lokal akan tertanam dalam diri pembelajar sebgai karakter.The objective of this paper is to develop the oral literary teaching in order to supplement textual teaching. In addition, the paper aims to create a more creative and innovative oral literary teaching method. It has been assumed that in the context of teaching oral literature in school or higher education to date, students are not exposed to a teaching model of oral literature, including interpreting oral texts within their contexts. This leads to the loss of whole meaning of oral texts due to partial interpretation. The teaching model of Gambang Rancag Betawi is an innovative model, utilizing performance texts as media to recognize contexts of a subject matter. Joice and Weil’s (1986) theory was adopted in order to unpack the oral form of the text. Through contexts, students can comprehend the gist of the story, including the function of the story. In terms of the form, the performance will be conducted so that students can arrive at a whole interpretation of teaching oral literature as local content.

Educators shape the learning experiences of students in the classroom. Their views on intelligence influence the beliefs students have about their own abilities to learn. Astin (2016) cautioned, "The faculty culture regards smartness in an almost reverential fashion" (p. 4). Research on academic mindsets has focused mainly on secondary education (e.g., Dweck, 2016; Yeager & Dweck, 2012). There is a gap in the literature about educator views about intelligence in higher education. The purpose of this study was to measure the beliefs that faculty from various academic disciplines hold about the nature of their own intelligence and the intelligence of their students. Faculty at one land grant institution participated in an eight-term Mindset survey. Position was the only statistically significant demographic factor.
