The article presents the authors interpretation of anomalies in higher education as violations of the substantial, structural and functional nature, determined by the mismatch of actions and interactions in universities with the fundamental norms of higher education. The research aims at providing typologies of anomalies in higher education. The practical meaning of these typologies is to use them as a basis for developing social technologies, mechanisms and forms of prevention and overcoming various types of violations in higher education. The authors use three methodological approaches - institutional, structural, and community-based - to introduce a theoretical framework for the study of anomalies in higher education. The typologies of anomalies were identified on the basis of the following criteria: 1) the nature of norms violated - anomalies of deviant (violation of moral norms) and delinquent (violation of legal norms) types; 2) the nature of anomalies manifestation - explicit and latent types; 3) the spheres of their manifestation - anomalies in the educational process, research, management, and social activity; 4) the levels of their manifestation - institutional, systemic and community-based anomalies; 5) subjects of abnormal behavior - anomalies in the communities of students, pedagogical, scientific stuff, and managers.

Different aspects of modern education are considered in the article. The subject of the analysis are the processes of changing the Russian higher education system associated with Russia’s accession to the Bologna Declaration, which, in particular, led to the emergence of new requirements for university teachers. Against the background of active processes of integration with foreign-language education systems, the discrepancy of many Russian teachers with the new conditions of the educational process becomes obvious: ignorance of foreign languages (English, first of all), lagging behind the informatization of education, mismatch with the principles of humanization and humanitarization of the learning process, differentiation of education. The article raises the question of the need to increase the psychological, pedagogical, computer and economic literacy of university professors. Authoritative opinions of Russian and foreign experts on the prospects of the educational sphere are given. Attention is drawn to the need to follow the best traditions of domestic education, based on the unity of education and upbringing. The article talks about the important role of studying the native language and literature both in the school and in the university course of study. The urgency of the outstripping nature of education is emphasized, which, in the opinion of the authors of the article, is an important factor in the country’s forward movement.

The COVID-19 pandemic has tremendously affected higher education systems in Russia and all over the world, forcing to transform curriculum into an online format, which is a challenge for all the educational process participants. The current study discusses the implementation of online learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the Russian higher education context and investigates the challenges experienced by university teachers during this period to define their readiness for online education. To address the above-mentioned issues, a study was conducted in Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. A variety of methods of scientific and pedagogical research were used including systematic structural analysis, synthesis, work with research papers, the generalization of experience and experimental work, observation, surveys, etc., with 87 university teachers asked to respond to several sets of questions describing their online teaching experience after the launch of online education amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis of the participants’ answers helped to identify the following main challenges experienced by university teachers: computer literacy level, the university electronic environment and support, academic staff readiness and students’ readiness for online learning, the last two being the most important hindering the implementation of the efficient online education process. It was also underlined by most respondents that methodological work of a teacher in a digital educational environment differs from conventional teaching methods. Thus, psychological, technological, methodological support and teachers’ professional development programs are of vital importance to minimize the negative impact of the rapid changes of the educational process and to ensure efficient online education.

Spiritual Satisfaction

The article reveals the relationship between personal values and adaptation of students in the transfer of the method of "learning by doing". It is shown that the value of creativity in the stable component was associated with maladaptation, and in the dynamic on the contrary, which indicates that respondents are able to show creativity when needed, "here and now", ie in critical situations. Contradiction is observed in the professional component with the importance of the value of spiritual satisfaction - material well-being. That is, if the team or the environment of the respondents are dominated by spiritual values (morality, morality, belief in the good), the process of adaptation will be faster and easier, and if the material (money, benefits), the adaptation is difficult. This may indicate altruism and selflessness. Values have been shown to play an important role in the adaptation process. Regarding the constituent values, both dynamic and stable components are important. Of particular importance is the experience of transferring the method of "Learning by Action" (Service Learning) in higher education institutions. This method belongs to the methods of education in the interests of sustainable development and involves the integration into the educational process of higher education institutions of social activity of students. The effectiveness of the method is that students of higher education institutions who have experienced volunteer work in social projects in the educational process are more prepared in practical terms for the labor market and are able to see the meaning of activities in various social institutions. The main goal is to develop students' social responsibility and other key competencies through the use of the "Learning by Action" method. Key words: students, values, adaptation, learning, action, activity.

Analysis And Synthesis

The purpose of this article is to review and compare ideas about the changes taking place in the process of Russian higher education modernization. The methods used are theoretical and empirical (an analysis and synthesis of literature, interviewing, observation and analysis of the educational process at a University). As a result of the research it is shown that the modernization is complicated by such factors as insufficient financing, poor infrastructure, psychological inability of the professorial staff to comply with the demands of a modernizing society, bureaucracy, and lack of university-business cooperation. The development of Russian corporate education may bring about considerable changes in the sphere of professional training and retraining. It may trigger off a change in the role of traditional institutes of professional development. Classical universities are no longer the only suppliers of the labour force. In the contemporary labour market, they compete with corporate educational institutions. It is concluded that traditional educational institutions and corporate educational institutions will be able to collaborate effectively in postindustrial Russia. Traditional universities should record, systematize and transmit universal cultural norms and values. They should preserve cultural heritage preventing it from disappearing. The improvement of university-business cooperation promotes government-business partnership, which is well illustrated by the Skolkovo Innovation Center.

The article analyzes the main trends in the transformation of the modern system of higher education in Russia, which contain objective risks and contribute to the growth of social tension in the educational environment. The author points to the main aspects of considering significant changes in the higher education system, including: active dissemination of new digital technologies in the educational process; the consequences of integrating the Russian higher education system into a single European educational space; the emergence of new educational and management practices; the consequences of the commercialization of the higher education system. The period of transition of the higher education system from the traditional model to the digital one is characterized by the exacerbation of existing structural contradictions and social inequality, as well as the emergence of new risks in development.The article examines possible sources of social conflicts in the higher education system and provides their typology: conflicts of the “society — higher school” type, “administration — collectives of an educational institution”, “subject-subject”. A significant source is also the contradiction between the traditionally established educational practices and new digital practices that require special training of scientific and pedagogical personnel and an effective information base.The author conclude that the growth of social tension and, as a consequence, the emergence of new forms of social conflicts in the educational environment, can be explained by the unpreparedness of the Russian higher education system and society as a whole for the ongoing changes. Results of the transformation of the modern higher education system in Russia, on the one hand, new prospects have appeared for training and professional development of participants in the educational process, and on the other hand, sources of social tension and conflict in the educational environment have become more active. To implement a systematic and effective final transition from a traditional to a digital education model, a radical restructuring of the entire higher education system at the state level, the introduction of modular digital educational environments and the creation of an effective information base on an integrated educational platform are required.

The development of the personal-value paradigm in the Russian higher education during reforms and counter-reforms is considered. The role of the scientific community in the process of developing and implementing a personal-value concept is revealed. Special attention is paid to the organization of the personalistic educational process in autonomous universities. According to the author, the personality-value model of higher education is the most effective in the humanitarian higher education. The personalist axiology of education determined the goals, forms and methods and ways of learning scientific truth, with the active involvement of students in the process of research work, which contributes to the development of their creative personalities. Constant updating of the didactic complex: goals, content, forms and methods of teaching implies the need to build an educational process adequate to the advanced level of achievements in the evolution of science. Society as a customer forms a university focused on obtaining the socio-cultural skills necessary for the progress of science and education. The personality-alienated model levels the axiology of science and higher education and focuses on the criteria of usefulness and competence, which significantly reduces the level of qualification of graduates. There is a conflict of ambitendent innovation processes: the personality-alienated model leads to an authoritarian trend in education, while at the same time, the super-valuable technologization of the educational process aimed at the formation of narrow specialists is carried out in higher education.
