The article deals with the issue of second language (SL) teaching in the higher educational institutions. The achievement of SL training goals by students is closely connected with the implementation of teaching and learning techniques based on concepts of individualisation and differentiation in higher education. Having analysed the concepts mentioned above, the authors define their role within the framework of SL training of the future specialists and, on this basis, outline SL teaching strategies that can be applied both during classroom and self-study work. They are defined as general mechanisms for the most effective planning, organisation and implementation of SL teaching based on students’ psychological peculiarities. They are aimed at creating the best and most comfortable conditions for the student’s SL learning and developing new ways of mastering a SL. They increase students’ motivation and maintain interest to learn SL when certain organisational conditions are observed and the offered exercises correspond to the students’ temperaments, personality types, and learning styles.

Higher educational institutions are widening participation through the introduction of new programs, using different approaches to deliver learning so that many people can have access to education. With the growing number of students in our higher educational institutions, coupled with learners who are working and by virtue of their job commitments cannot do traditional face-to-face education, using information technology (IT) to support lessons in higher education institutions has become very laudable. The introduction and use of technology have brought changes in the way we teach and support students in our higher education institutions. This, therefore, calls for effective IT leaders who will be able to motivate, inspire, and meet the learning needs of the diverse students in our institutions while improving teaching and learning. The IT leaders should not only be individuals who can only lead the change crusade but should be able to manage the change process.

<p>A in a university setting, class scheduling is vital for teaching and learning process. Academic institutions rely on time tables in their day to day activities. University Course Timeframe problem can be resolved by using multi-agent systems-based method which may increase the independence of each department's class scheduling, adaptability in a distributed environment and prevents conflicts between events or resources, and unforeseen allocation through intervention between agents in a dispersed environment. Class timing is performed manually in most of the higher educational institutions, which is a very challenging and time-consuming process. The main objective of the study is to build a multi-agent class timing system that automates the process of class scheduling of higher education institutions (HEIs) using the Prometheus methodology. The implementation of the Prometheus approach in the development of a multi-agent framework has resulted in a complete and comprehensive system covering all phases of software development as applied to the agent systems.</p>

The global lockdown due to COVID-19 is a major concern as all higher educational institutions face disruption in teaching, learning and assessment. Social work educators in Malaysia’s higher educational institutions are not spared of this disruption. Conventional teaching methods are now being replaced by non-conventional modes of teaching, which include online teaching and assessment using various platforms such as Zoom, WebEx and others. In embarking on online methods of teaching, social work educators will have to undergo many changes. It is particularly so as social work has a practice component that involves field training, which will be a different challenge to educators and students in this new and unexpected environment. This paper aims to discuss the implications of COVID-19 on the changes that have taken place in social work teaching and learning in Malaysia and potential responses.

Information and communication technology (ICT) is major backbone of Indian education system. Now days, the higher educational Institutions are using ICT based teaching and learning. Many of researchers, educators and students from the world are adapting sharply ICT in their educational life. Indian students have variety of thoughts towards ICT usage in their education. We have tried to explore the outlook difference among Indian students receiving higher education in Universities. More than five hundred students from six Universities located in Haryana and Punjab have participated in this study. This article is focusing on to find outlook difference among students towards ICT in relation to their locality and level of study. The statistically test like Z-test and T-test proves that educational standard and demography of students did not affect the outlook towards ICT awareness in higher education. This paper will support to investigators over the globe those are conducting their research on ICT awareness in higher educational institutions.


In the period of globalization new requirements of the level of teachers’ preparation for their pedagogical career have significantly increased. Consequently, it demands higher educational institutions the necessity to draw special attention to enhance the efficiency of educational processes in preparing future teachers. In this article, the mechanism of implementation monitoring processes on improvement of the system of preparation teachers for pedagogical career in the high educational institutions has revealed. In this monitoring the distributional parameters of the corresponding processes according to the direction has taken into consideration and provided prognoses of them on the basis of interrelation and impact between indicators. On this purpose, the algorithmic model of interrelations between indicators of argumentative, procedural and productive directions of a process has developed. This model gives the chance to obtain the predicted information on educational process based on certain evidence, to define necessary organizational and pedagogical measures by comparison with the expected results, corrections, specifications and modernizations of teaching and learning processes.

This chapter focuses on the critical analysis of evidence of higher education improvement strategies in improving teaching and learning in higher education institutions. Several higher education improvement strategies such as preparation for accreditation and student learning assessment has been utilized in the area of teaching and learning in higher education institutions with diverse outcomes. Overall and despite some recorded successes, there still exist some situations where improvement strategies create challenges and conflicts in the institutions as a result of the improvement strategies not serving their defined purpose. Some of these challenges are ineffective teacher professional development initiatives and lack of specifically developed programs designed for specific students' needs. In order to resolve higher education improvement challenges, decision makers in higher educational institutions must be willing to involve key stakeholders in designing the right approach to quality assurance in higher educational institutions.

Introduction. The important factors affecting health and performance of young people are the conditions of education, in particular, a comfortable microclimate in the classrooms of higher educational institutions. Materials and methods. In view of the urgency of this problem, an analysis was made of the microclimate parameters of educational organizations of different profiles (Ufa city, the Republic of Bashkortostan). 294 classrooms were studied in 22 buildings of 4 leading universities in Ufa. A total of 3,822 measurements were taken to determine the parameters of the microclimate. The analysis of ionizing radiation in the aerial environment of classrooms. There was performed determination of radon and its affiliated products content. In order to assess the conditions and lifestyle of students of 4 higher educational institutions of the city of Ufa, we conducted an anonymous survey of 1,820 students of I and IV years of education. Results. The average temperature in the classrooms of all universities studied was 23.9±0.09 C. The average relative humidity in all classrooms was 34.2 ± 0.42%. Analysis of ionizing radiation (radon and its daughter products decay) in the aerial environment of the classrooms and sports halls located in the basement determined that the average annual equivalent equilibrium volumetric activity of the radon daughter products (EROA ± Δ222Rn) ranged from 28 ± 14 to 69 ± 34.5 meter, which meets the requirements established by SanPiN. Conclusion. The hygienic assessment of the microclimate parameters of educational institutions of various profile revealed a number of deviations from the regulated norms. The results indicate the need to control the parameters of the microclimate, both from the administration of universities, and from the professors. According to the results of the study, recommendations were prepared for the management of higher educational institutions in Ufa.
