Place-based initiatives, such as the federal Promise Neighborhoods grant, attempt to coordinate interventions, supports, and services with a myriad of organizations to targeted communities. Although Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), inclusive of academic medical institutions, are among the most overall researched anchor institution, Non-Institutions of Higher Education (NIHEs) have led more Promise Neighborhood grants since the inception of the program in 2010. Therefore, this study compared the revitalization efforts proposed by IHEs ( n = 5) and NIHE ( n = 5) in their applications for Promise Neighborhoods grants awarded between 2016 and 2018. Although similarities existed within and across the applications from NIHEs and IHEs, namely focused on improving academics and health/wellness, the specific interventions, supports, and services proposed by each lead institution largely reflected the individual needs of the targeted communities. The findings from this study illustrate how IHEs and NIHEs are similarly positioned to effectuate change within their communities. Implementing place-based initiatives requires anchor institutions to allocate considerable time and resources in order to adapt to the current needs of the community in real time. Therefore, future lead agents of Promise Neighborhoods should seek to promote an environment that fosters on-going collaboration and mutual trust across and within multiple stakeholders, while also exploring sustainability efforts to extend gains made beyond the duration of the grant.

The article considers the main provisions of blended learning organization in medical institutions of higher education. The main online platforms and digital teaching aids, that are used in medical institutions of higher education during the educational process based on blended learning, are identified in particular: distance learning platforms (Equity Maps, Google Classroom, Moodle), mobile-digital applications (Classtime, LearningApps, Quizizz) and online communication platforms (Google Meet, ZOOM, WeBex). The concept of blended learning is defined as a harmonious combination of students’ classwork and the use of information and digital technologies in extracurricular activities (independent work, group work, etc.). The principles of organizing the educational process in institutions of higher medical education include a general didactic approach in working with large groups, discussion in small groups, individual training and learning using information and digital technologies. An important aspect in the training of highly qualified medical professionals in the blended learning format is blended laboratory courses. Such an organization of training, as shown in the study, is popular with both students and teachers of laboratory bachelor courses. Note that in this process, teachers mainly focus on the development of students' abilities for autonomous learning, and not just on the transfer of theoretical knowledge. The best experience of blended learning usage in the world medical institutions of higher education is considered. The advantages of blended learning in medical students’ preparation are shown. In further scientific research it is planned to study the current experience of organizing blended education of Kharkiv National Medical University in the conditions of adaptive quarantine in the 2020/2021 academic year.

Abstract Efficiency and equality are both important goals and values in higher education, and their concurrency (balance) has been one of the main concerns of higher education scholars and policy makers over the past decades. The aim of the present study is to discover the causal mechanism and contextual factors that are likely to result in concurrency of equality and efficiency in higher education. To this end, the combination of two explanatory theories of equality and efficiency were used. The theory of equality focused on three dimensions of equal opportunities, modernization, and cultural differences. Likewise, to explain efficiency, Chalabi’s three-level causal model of sustainable production of science was used. Methodologically, a multiple case study method was adopted, and the cases under study (nine countries) were selected based on purposive sampling. The findings showed that for the concurrency of equality and efficiency in higher education, a set of conditions must be present in the configurational and combinational causality. The preconditions for this concurrency is the presence of some social conditions such as productive economy, the rule of law, inter-societies competitiveness, social cohesion, democracy, universalism, egalitarianism (at macro level), meritocracy, academic autonomy, and organizational competitiveness (at the meso level) and the absence of some other conditions including fatalism (at the macro level).

This research aimed to find out the effectiveness of an organization at higher education 'X' in Surabaya, Indonesia. In this research, the focus was on the measurement of organization effectiveness using Holistic Organizational Effectiveness. The research was qualitative with case study method. Moreover, the analysis data were observation result, interview, and documentation. The research result concluded that the scale level of organization effectiveness was under four in Holistic Organizational Effectiveness graphic. It meant that the organization has not been effective yet. Therefore, to increase the effectiveness of sustainable holistic organization, it needed to strengthen the employee effectiveness, choose, develop and maintain better leaders and employees. In addition, it also needed to strengthen the culture; to build structure, system, process of more effective organization; to give better training; to strengthen communication and collaboration effectiveness; and to apply process of effective performance measurement and compensation. Besides, it also needed to have award and recognition program, to evaluate and reduce the organization risk, and also to support the sustainable effort.

In accordance with the purpose, the article describes the general organization, stages of conducting and the results of pedagogical experiment on checking the effectiveness of the implementation of didactic conditions for forming the information-digital competence of students of medical institutions of higher education. The author proposes the model and ways of realization of the didactic conditions: actualization of the motivational-value training of students of medical institutions of higher education; organization of interaction of students and teachers of medical institutions of higher education on the Internet through the creation of information-digital educational environment on the basis of individual support for the student; creation of individual educational routes for students in the course of training and production practices. At the ascertaining stage of the pedagogical experiment, the criteria and indicators were specified: motivational (presence of positive motivation for the formation of information-digital competence), cognitive (systematic and thoroughness of theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the formation of information-digital competence of students), operational (development of skills for organization), implementation, evaluation, improvement of information-digital competence formation), personality-reflection (introspection and reflection); levels of information-digital competence of higher education medical institutions students (high, average, low), which contribute to the positive dynamics of information-digital competence of students of medical institutions of higher education. At the formative stage of the pedagogical experiment, the didactic conditions of forming the informational-digital competence of students of medical institutions of higher education on the target, procedural and evaluation-effective stages of the developed model were realized. At the control stage of the pedagogical experiment, there was a significant increase in the level of information-digital competence of students of medical institutions of higher education in the EG: by 21.3% the number of students with a high level of education increased; by 24.3% ‒ with an average level; 45.6% decreased the number of students with the initial level of their information-digital competence. According to the results of the statistical processing of the data of the pedagogical experiment participants, there was a significant increase in the levels of all indicators that were measured. It is established that the formation of information-digital competence of students of medical institutions of higher education is facilitated by certain didactic conditions.
