Comprehensive Study

The relevance of the research topic consists in the necessity of a comprehensive study of the educational and scientific activities of the departments of musicology of Krakow and Lviv universities during the first half of the twentieth century in the context of coverage of the interaction experience between Ukrainian and foreign higher education institutions so to determine in such way the features and values of the Ukrainian music science in the European scientific and educational space. The purpose of the research is to discover and to analyze the creative activity of the departments of musicology at the Krakow and Lviv Universities in the context of Jagellonism through the consideration of the principles of European musical academic education since the establishment of these institutions in 1911-1912 and till the beginning of the XXI century. The scientific novelty of the research consists in finding out the leading role of Z. Jachimecky and A. Chybi?ski in the formation and development of national musicological schools in Poland and Ukraine as inheritors of the cultural genetic code of Jagiellonism. That cultural genetic code consisted of special attention to the inter-Slavic relations within the Western-Eastern cultural heritage.

Paradigmatic Change

AbstractThis study is a philosophically sociological and pedagogical reflection on the current status of universities as institutions and the profile of university education. It draws attention to the original characteristics that made up the idea and essence of university, which should not be forgotten at a time when higher education institutions are being diversified. It analyzes the development of higher education in terms of its functions and value in the context of societal change in the era of industrialization and globalization. It contemplates the university’s loss of identity at a time when financial capital prevails over science and technology, and educational preferences favor the market and practice. It considers paradigmatic change in university education as well as the future role of universities. The paper reflects on global trends through the eye of transforming countries, although it does not directly cover these countries directly.

Radical Transformation

The term “digital native” entered popular and academic discourse in the early 1990s to characterize young people who, having grown up surrounded by digital technology, were said to be highly technologically skilled. The premise was mobilized to criticize education for not meeting the needs of young people, thereby needing radical transformation. Despite being repeatedly discredited by empirical research and scholarly argument, the idea of the digital native has been remarkably persistent. This chapter explores the myth of the digital native and its implications for higher education. It suggests that the myth’s persistence signals a need to better understand the role of technology in young people’s lives. The chapter conceptualizes technology “practices,” considers how young adults experience technology in their college and university education, and how their practices are shaped by childhood and adolescence. The chapter closes with some propositions for educators, institutions, and researchers.

Categories of the academic revolutions and innovations in a perspective of educational policy at the higher school are considered. Special attention is paid to the development of innovations in training at the foreign and Ukrainian universities, since X1X of a century up to now. It is noted that agricultural, industrial, global, demographic and other revolutions created basis for the academic revolutions which resulted from transformations of society and caused innovations in higher education systems. The contribution of the academic revolutions in strengthening of role of the universities in society is confirmed. The major innovations in training stimulated university teaching throughout all academic revolutionary periods (after 1867, 1945, 1983) in developed industrial and developing countries, such as the USA, some states of the European Union and Ukraine. Emergence of innovations in policy of teaching at the universities during the first academic revolution, their modification during the second one, and new turns in transformation of innovations during the third academic revolution is investigated. Introduction of innovations in teaching differed in intensity and scale during the academic revolutions. On examples of teaching it is shown how political and ideological processes in society influenced functioning of the universities. An attempt to compare educational processes during three revolutions and to reveal the most innovational period was made. It is proved that innovations in training were implanted in three academic revolutions, the third one turned out to be the most innovative. The major innovations in policy of teaching were connected with the development of scientific and technical knowledge that contributed to the emergence of the information society. The developed countries offered the introduction of policy of cooperation in the higher education that made impact on innovations in university education. The Coronavirus pandemic of 2019/20 demonstrated the need to use various forms of Internet communications (Zoom, Google Classroom, Moodle, Whereby, etc.) to switch to new opportunities to teach students in higher education institutions around the world at the beginning of the XXI century.

The Declaration of Bologna and subsequent documents have drastically changed the European university panorama and the future role of universities as providers of continuous education for a lifelong learning. There will be a convergence not only in academic titles, but also in the way we see university education. The previous EEE symposium gave some clues on the approaches taken by different European countries: organization of EE studies, integration of graduates into the market, and interaction with professional bodies. Bologna's outcomes were sold in Spain as a change into an American (USA) model, which, as any other model, has advantages and drawbacks. This paper deals with an open reflection on the future of university studies in Europe.

Higher Education Change

The purpose of this study is to look at whether higher education has an effect on value perceptions of students. In particular, the researcher will examine the role of 'foundation' or 'private' universities on the priorities of value perceptions. The results are limited to the 115 students participated in the study. In order to have a more generalizable and comprehensive analysis, large number of students from other universities should  also be studied. That way we could have a more convincing claiming about whether university education have negative or positive effects on the change of certain values. However, for the current study we can claim that university education is changing the level of value perceptions of students mostly in negative ways.

Education In Brazil

Focaliza algumas articulações entre educação, ciência e tecnologia, enfocando duas tendências correntes, sobre o papel da educação para a ciência e tecnologia e, em contraste, o papel da ciência e da tecnologia para a educação. As práticas científicas têm ganho grande flexibilidade nas últimas décadas. CT não está mais restrita às primitivas fronteiras, anteriormente demarcadas nos campos das ciências físicas e biológicas. Houve uma incorporação das humanidades e a inserção das tecnologias sociais. Nesta perspectiva, o artigo discute a questão da “humanização” da tecnologia, bem assim a possibilidade de reconectar ética, conhecimento e ação, com ênfase nos propósitos da educação, ciência e tecnologia com vistas à realização da cidadania. Quanto à educação superior, especificamente, o artigo analisa o assim chamado “boom” universitário, o colapso dos modelos napoleônico e humboldtiano (ambos elitistas) e a emergência do sistema americano (de acesso em massa ao ensino superior). Finalmente, discute alguns impasses peculiares à educação superior no Brasil e, em escala global, a busca por novas alternativas em resposta aos megadesafios de nosso tempo. Palavras-chave: educação superior; ciência, tecnologia e humanidades; modelos universitários; sistema brasileiro de ensino; educação cidadã. Abstract This article addresses a few central articulations among education, science and technology, by focusing on two current trends, namely the role of education for science and technology and, in contrast, the role of science and technology for education. Scientific practices have gained greater flexibility in the last decades. ST can no longer be narrowly contained within its former boundaries, previously drawn within the fields of physical and biological science. As a result, there has been an incorporation of the humanities, and the insertion of social technologies. In this perspective, the paper discusses the question of "humanization" of technology, as well as the possibility of reconnecting ethics, knowledge and action, with emphasis on the bearings of education, science and technology on the achievement of citizenship. With regard to higher education specifically, the paper analyses the so-called university boom, the collapse of the Napoleonic and Humboldtian models (both elitists) and the emergence of the American system (of mass access to higher learning). Finally, it discusses some impasses peculiar to higher education in Brazil, and, in global scale, the search for new alternatives in response to the mega challenges of our times. Keywords: higher education; science, technology and humanities; university models; brazilian model of university; education for citizenship.
