This paper explores the application of a design-based research (DBR) methodology to inform the re-design of pedagogical strategies for studio-based classrooms within undergraduate higher education programmes. The goal is to establish a transferable model that is student-centred around authentic educational and professional learning environment as described as Dewey for the digital age. The paper outlines the initial analysis and exploration stage of a DBR methodology that leads to the development of a proposed ecology of resources designed to stimulate rhizomatic pedagogical environments intended to support collaborative student teams rather than the traditional classroom structure. The main aim of this project is to look at alternative models to the studio or classroom environment that can enhance and improve the more traditional teacher-centric environments of the classroom through focusing upon what the student does and their graduate profiles. These ‘ontological pedagogies’ will guide the student through the educational process but also provide them with the necessary skill set to enter into the professional design based working environment once they have graduated.

AbstractIntroduction:Colleges and universities are experiencing increasing demand for online courses in many healthcare disciplines, including emergency medical services (EMS). Development and implementation of online paramedic courses with the quality of education experienced in the traditional classroom setting is essential in order to maintain the integrity of the educational process. Currently, there is conflicting evidence of whether a significant difference exists in student performance between online and traditional nursing and allied health courses. However, there are no published investigations of the effectiveness of online learning by paramedic students.Hypothesis:Performance of paramedic students enrolled in an online, undergraduate, research methods course is equivalent to the performance of students enrolled in the same course provided in a traditional, classroom environment.Methods:Academic performance, learning styles, and course satisfaction surveys were compared between two groups of students. The course content was identical for both courses and taught by the same instructor during the same semester. The primary difference between the traditional course and the online course was the method of lecture delivery. Lectures for the on-campus students were provided live in a traditional classroom setting using PowerPoint slides. Lectures for the online students were provided using the same PowerPoint slides with prerecorded streaming audio and video.Results:A convenience sample of 23 online and 10 traditional students participated in this study. With the exception of two learning domains, the two groups of students exhibited similar learning styles as assessed using the Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scales instrument. The online students scored significantly lower in the competitive and dependent dimensions than did the on-campus students. Academic performance was similar between the two groups. The online students devoted slightly more time to the course than did the campus students, although this difference did not reach statistical significance. In general, the online students believed the online audio lectures were more effective than the traditional live lectures.Conclusion:Distance learning technology appears to be an effective mechanism for extending didactic paramedic education off-campus, and may be beneficial particularly to areas that lack paramedic training programs or adequate numbers of qualified instructors.

A educação a distância envolve múltiplos sujeitos, cenários e experiências através das tecnologias digitais, promovendo um processo educativo que se modifica constantemente. Assim, este artigo tem como objetivo identificar quem são os estudantes matriculados, de 2007 a 2016, na modalidade a distância em cursos de graduação e pós-graduação da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande: FURG. Para tanto, realizou-se um levantamento no sistema da Universidade para ter acessos aos dados de matrícula que permitissem realizar o mapeamento. A análise foi balizada nos estudos do processo evolutivo entre as gerações Baby Boomers, X e Y na perspectiva de Oliveira (2009). Situar temporalmente quem são esses estudantes e quais são as gerações presentes na educação a distância torna-se fundamental, para refletir e elaborar estratégias pedagógicas que atendam os anseios e as especificidades do contexto atual da educação superior pública. Da mesma forma, problematizar o tema é como uma mola propulsora para que as instituições de educação superior (re)pensem a educação a distância como uma latente possibilidade de interações e construções neste processo educativo e coletivo. Palavras-chave: Educação a Distância, Estudantes, Gerações, Tecnologias Digitais. The Generations in EaD: Connected RealitiesAbstract Distance Education involves multiple subjects, scenarios, and experiences through digital technologies, promoting an educational process that is constantly changing. Thus, this article aims to identify who the enrolled students are, from 2007 to 2016, in distance mode in undergraduate and graduate courses of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande: FURG. To do so, a data collection of student registration in the University was conducted to allow the mapping. The analysis was based on studies of the evolutionary process between the Baby Boomers, X and Y generations from Oliveira (2009) perspective. To situate temporarily who these students are and which are the generations present in distance education, becomes fundamental to reflect and elaborate pedagogical strategies that meet the wishes and specificities of the current context of public higher education. Likewise, seeing that as a problem is a driving force for higher education institutions to (re) think distance education as a latent possibility of interactions and constructions in this educational and collective process.Keywords: Distance education, Students, Generations, Technologies.

Современный этап развития образования позволяет зафиксировать «разрывы» между профессиональной подготовкой педагогов и запросом образовательной практики на специалиста определенного качества, преодоление которых стало возможным с обеспечением взаимодействия педагогических вузов с образовательными, научными, общественными организациями, региональными и муниципальными органами управления образованием, представителями производственной среды и бизнеса по вопросам развития непрерывного педагогического образования. Этот вектор развития определил новые требования к разработке основных профессиональных образовательных программ, направленности профессиональной подготовки педагогических кадров. Одной из причин открытия невостребованных программ бакалавриата и выпуска невостребованных специалистов является недостаточное внимание к осуществлению мониторинга потребностей ведущих работодателей региона, который позволяет получить информацию о востребованности специалистов определенного профиля с определением профессионально значимых качеств и компетенций. Анализ результатов мониторингового исследования, сопоставление их с требованиями профессиональных стандартов, федеральных государственных образовательных стандартов высшего образования и возможностями вузов позволяют разработать компоненты актуальных основных профессиональных образовательных программ. Цель статьи – выявление особенностей проектирования образовательных программ бакалавриата по направлению подготовки «Педагогическое образование» (с двумя профилями подготовки) с учетом квалификационного запроса работодателей на подготовку педагогов-организаторов, способных в современных условиях осуществлять профессиональную деятельность в образовательных организациях различного уровня и типа, исходя из региональных потребностей; выделение состава профессиональных компетенций. Показаны особенности прогнозирования общественной потребности в педагогических кадрах и результаты исследования запроса рынка труда на специалистов – педагогов-организаторов; представлены результаты опроса работодателей и их представителей, касающиеся квалификационного запроса на подготовку специалиста, способного осуществлять проектирование и реализацию воспитательного процесса на всех уровнях общего образования. В результате проведенного исследования выявлен квалификационный запрос руководителей образовательных организаций на разработку новой основной профессиональной образовательной программы в соответствии с федеральным государственным образовательным стандартом высшего образования по направлению подготовки 44.03.05 Педагогическое образование (с двумя профилями подготовки), определены профили данной программы, выделен состав профессиональных компетенций будущих воспитателей и педагогов-организаторов, определен состав и направленность модулей программы. The current stage in the development of education makes it possible to fix the «gaps» between the professional training of teachers and the request of educational practice for a specialist of a certain quality, overcoming which became possible with the provision of interaction of pedagogical universities with educational, scientific, public organizations, regional and municipal educational authorities, representatives of the working environment and business on the development of continuing teacher education. This vector of development has determined new requirements for the development of basic professional educational programs, for the focus of professional training of teaching staff. One of the reasons for opening unclaimed bachelor’s programs and graduating unclaimed specialists is insufficient attention to monitoring the needs of leading employers in the region, which allows obtaining information on the demand for specialists of a certain profile with the definition of professionally significant qualities and competencies. Analysis of the results of the monitoring study, comparing them with the requirements of professional standards, federal state educational standards of higher education and the capabilities of universities allows us to develop components of current basic professional educational programs. The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the design of bachelor’s degree programs in the direction of training Pedagogical education (with two training profiles), taking into account the qualification request of employers for the training of educational organizers who, in modern conditions, are able to carry out professional activities in educational organizations of various levels and types, based on regional needs; highlighting the composition of professional competencies. The features of forecasting the social need for teaching staff and the results of researching the demand of the labor market for specialists − teacher-organizers are shown; presents the results of a survey of employers and their representatives concerning the qualification request for the training of a specialist capable of designing and implementing the educational process at all levels of general education. As a result of the study, the qualification request of the heads of educational organizations for the development of a new basic professional educational program in accordance with the federal state educational standard of higher education in the direction of preparation 44.03.05 Pedagogical education (with two training profiles) was identified, the profiles of this program were determined; highlighted the composition of professional competencies of future educators and educators-organizers; the composition and direction of the program modules has been determined.

Education like others spheres of life of modern society is in the state of dynamic changes. New formats of universities as well as their missions and roles in the social and economic development are actively discussed by professional environment. A number of external and internal factors that determine the depth and scale of transformation have effects on the development of the system of higher education. The system of higher education is under the influence of the system and institutional dynamics, which dictate the need for changes. The activity of universities as centers of education, science and culture is one of the most important bases of social progress. This role becomes especially important in XXI century, which is based on new knowledge and principles of technological development. First of all a university takes new features in the current conditions of globalization. The fundamental task that needs to be solved in order to achieve the goals of a modern University is the change of meanings, goals and content of education by active participation in the internationalization processes of the system of higher education and by introducing reforms in educational process. Of course new economic conditions (global market and information technologies) require modifications. It was stated that the commercialization of University innovations in Azerbaijan is a relatively new direction, since the country is just adopts the path of an innovative economy. In this regard the transformation of a scientific idea to a product or a service faces a number of difficulties. It was investigated the problem of commercialization of the results of scientific activities of higher educational institutions in Azerbaijan. For the first time Azerbaijan State University of Economics has implemented its rebranding in the educational system of the country in order to strengthen the market position of the educational institution and realization of innovative marketing strategies.

The author reveals the necessity of introducing into the educational and professional programs of preparation of masters of non-pedagogical specialties of the discipline "Didactics of higher education". Formation of pedagogical competences of the teacher of the higher school will allow the future specialists professional activity in the institutions of higher education. The article reveals the essence of didactic competence and peculiarities of its formation in higher education students in the current conditions of organizing the initial process. The competency approach should permeate all aspects of student training. Therefore, a special (didactic) competence should be included in the list of the graduates' learning outcomes. The didactic competence is the ability to apply knowledge of psychology and pedagogy (didactics) in the educational process of higher education institutions. In the orientation of the educational and professional program of the master of non-pedagogical specialties it is necessary to enter competencies that allow him to engage in teaching activities. General competences add to the ability to carry out pedagogical activities using innovative educational technologies, and special competences add to the ability to organize the educational process and carry out scientific research in order to solve topical problems of the theory, methodology, organization and practice of higher education students. One of the most important compulsory (normative) disciplines that enable the future specialist to teach special and professional disciplines in higher education institutions should be "Didactic of Higher Education". This is the main feature of forming didactic competence in higher education institutions. But the competent approach in higher education does not come down to a separate discipline, but because the phenomenon of integral and dynamic develops in the process of formal, non-formal and informal education and is in constant development and self-development. All stages of preparation of the master of non-pedagogical specialties for teaching activity should be directed on achievement of the main purpose of the educational process — formation of pedagogical competences of applicants of higher education.

To Receive

The conventional introductory course rests upon the pedagogical assumption that the teacher's function is to transmit information (or knowledge) and that the student's function is to receive it. According to this transmitter-receiver model of the educational process, teaching begins with a “knower” who “transmits” what he knows to a “learner.” In higher education, certain euphemisms are employed to soften and furnish a color of legitimacy to this model: the teacher is a “scholar,” and “authority,” in his field; he possesses an “expert knowledge” which the student has come to school to “learn“; the student is the “learner.” The teacher's role, accordingly, is the active one of transmitting information and the student's role, accordingly, is the passive one of receiving and recording (or memorizing) this information.
