Reflexive Analysis

Formation of spoken and written professional language of students is connected with the increase of the level of a set of their competences. The efficiency of this process largely depends on usage of the potential of the text-centric technology in the process of teaching the Ukrainian language for professional purposes because text is the main means for creation of professional context. The aim of the article is determination of directions of implementation of the textcentric teaching technology of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes at pedagogical institutions of higher education, and analysis of the functional load of polycode text in this context. A set of methods has been used in the research process: the theoretical methods (reflexive analysis and generalization of literary sources for clarification of the level of solving the issue in the modern scientific area), the methods of visualization and generalization (for elucidation of the ways of usage of polycode texts while teaching the course). On the basis of analysis of scientific definitions of the concept “text” and its main features, there has been formulated a linguo-didactic definition of educational text and vectors of implementation of the text-centric teaching technology of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes at pedagogical institutions of higher education. Research of polycode text as a means of implementation of the text-centric teaching has been conducted, the main kinds of polycode texts and their functional load in the course of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes have been defined and analyzed. The exceptional didactic potential of hypertext as a modern form of organization of material, which is becoming especially important in conditions of distant education, is emphasized. The most efficient organizational forms of working with hypertext have been defined. Considering the features of the structure of polycode text (combination of the verbal and nonverbal components), document has been defined as its specific form. The holistic view of the studied issue is illustrated by the constructed model of the textcentric teaching technology of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes at pedagogical institutions of higher education.

A number of studies have considered the evaluation of efficiency in higher education institutions. In this paper, we focus on the issue of revenue efficiency, in particular ascertaining the extent to which, given output prices, producers choose the revenue maximising vector of outputs. We then relax the price taking assumption to consider the case in which the market for some outputs is characterised by monopolistic competition. We evaluate efficiencies for English institutions of higher education for the academic year 2012–13 and find considerable variation across institutions in revenue efficiency. The relaxation of the price-taking assumption leads to relatively small changes, in either direction, to the estimated revenue efficiency scores. A number of issues surrounding the modelling process are raised and discussed, including the determination of the demand function for each type of output and the selection of inputs and outputs to be used in the model.

Abstract Introduction:The authors of this paper base their research on the following assumption: the development of both geragogic education (older adult education) and profession is conditioned by the existence of a study program of geragogy provided by departments of geragogy created at universities (as public institutions of higher education). The fact remains that a qualified training of geragogues is absent in the Slovak conditions. Purpose:When compiling a graduate profile, inclusive of a list of competences that a geragogue should possess, a range of specific local circumstances needs to be taken into consideration. Subsequently, it is necessary to define a position of a geragogue. Geragogue is a professional working in the field of senior education, just like a pedagogue or an adult educator work in their fields. It is also important to identify and accentuate the philosophical and social context in which these professionals are confronted with the demands of today’s society, in a form of a society based on knowledge, questions of the ongoing social changes and defining the meaning of life. Results:The task of creating the department and program of geragogy is formulated as a social demand of the time, debunking the current myth of the crisis of universities. In history, a university was a vital place where the values serving social integration emerged. It was also a practice field for the educators to train so they could spread these values and transform them into social skills. Conclusion:In the conclusion, the authors propose key areas of undergraduate training of geragogues, including the definition of institutional anchoring, with the goal to contribute to ongoing professional discussion and to creation of the department and the program of geragogy.

Purpose.The purpose of this article is to describe action research in nursing education and to propose a definition of action research for providing guidelines for research proposals and criteria for assessing potential publications for nursing higher education.Methods.The first part of this project involved a search of the literature on action research in nursing higher education from 1994 to 2013. Searches were conducted in the CINAHL and MEDLINE databases. Applying the criteria identified, 80 publications were reviewed. The second part of the project involved a literature review of action research methodology from several disciplines to assist in assessing articles in this review.Results.This article summarizes the nursing higher education literature reviewed and provides processes and content related to four topic areas in nursing higher education. The descriptions assist researchers in learning more about the complexity of both the action research process and the varied outcomes. The literature review of action research in many disciplines along with the review of action research in higher education provided a framework for developing a nursing-education-centric definition of action research.Conclusions.Although guidelines for developing action research and criteria for publication are suggested, continued development of methods for synthesizing action research is recommended.

The present study predicted vocational purpose from thinking styles, a construct at the interface of intelligence and personality. 233 students majoring in history and computer science from a large research-oriented university in the People's Republic of China completed the Thinking Styles Inventory and the Iowa Vocational Purpose Inventory. The participants also rated their own analytical, creative, and practical abilities. In general, results indicated that thinking styles contributed to vocational purpose beyond self-rated abilities. Specifically, the more creativity-generating and complex thinking styles tended to contribute positively to vocational purpose, whereas the more conforming and simplistic thinking styles tended to contribute negatively to vocational purpose. This article points to the need theoretically for integrating the construct of thinking style into the definition of differential psychology. Practical data argue for a collaborative working relationship between teachers and vocational counselors in institutions of higher education.

The Relationship

Institutions of higher education, national governments and (inter)national organizations have become more proactive, comprehensive, diverse, and innovative in their approaches to internationalization. Critical reflection on their outcomes, and in particular their impact on student learning, has resulted in a search for approaches to internationalization that have deeper meaning and greater impact. However, it is only relatively recently that questions related to the relationship between the internationalization of higher education, the curriculum and the disciplines have been explored in depth. Some of these questions are discussed, such as the relationship between ‘at home’ and ‘abroad’, the role of mobility, the role of contexts and the definition of internationalization of the curriculum.

Goals And Objectives

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the need to build an effective methodological system of teaching the Ukrainian language in a professional aspect, which requires the definition of specific goals and objectives of the discipline. The purpose of the training course should be reflected in the milestone and meet the components of the global goals of educational training, while understanding the purpose and the intended use of the discipline consolidates and enhances its status in higher education, ensuring its long life cycle. The purpose of the study is to clarify the life cycle and status of the discipline in modern pedagogical institutions of higher education, to determine the goals and objectives of teaching the Ukrainian language in a professional aspect. The work uses a set of scientific methods: reflective and comparative analysis, generalisation – to study the information field of the problem, component analysis of the formulation of the purpose of teaching the Ukrainian language in a professional aspect; scientific abstraction and visualisation – to reproduce the life cycle of the training course, to determine its status. The concept of “life cycle of the discipline” is formulated: the time of its functioning in the educational system of the country, during which it is capable of effectively performing the current educational functions. It is proposed to formulate the purpose of teaching the Ukrainian language in the professional aspect of future pedagogical workers: the development of oral and written professional speech of students by increasing the level of certain competences, developing innovative thinking and working with information, maintaining interest in professional activities in order to develop a personality of a highly competitive specialist ready for self-improvement in the chosen area of work

Curriculum Reforms

AbstractIn an urgent effort to internationalize curricula, institutions of higher education are rethinking the role of language study. Many administrators, faculty, and staff are realizing that language study is more than merely a means of communication. More importantly, it is the key to understanding how people from diverse cultural backgrounds, especially those who are engaged in our academic institutions, interpret their cultural experiences. Three important questions will be discussed in this paper: (1) If we accept the idea that curriculum reforms should mirror the changing world, then what curricular changes are needed to promote internationalization?, (2) What role does language study play in this reformed curriculum?, and (3) If we accept a new definition of knowledge as having a language and cultural component, then how can we better prepare our students to gain multilingual and multicultural competence?

Currently the development of entrepreneurial potential of the youth becomes a priority of socioeconomic policy of the country, as well as a strategic vector in modern higher education. The subject of this research is the essence, content and specificity of entrepreneurial potential of university students. The goal consists in the development of theoretical approaches towards determination and clarification of the concept of entrepreneurial potential of students within the system of higher education. Research methodology is based on the systemic, competence, and subject-activity approach, as well as included the methods of theoretical analysis and summarization of the results of scientific research. The authors examine different approaches towards determination of the essence and content of the concepts “entrepreneurial potential” and “entrepreneurial potential of an individual”. A conclusion is made that under the current circumstances the concept of “entrepreneurial potential of a student”, which would reflect the peculiarities of student as a carrier of entrepreneurial potential, does not exist. Being a subject of educational activity, student is engaged in the process of formation of the own entrepreneurial potential. This defined the need to view student’s entrepreneurial potential inseparably from organizational-pedagogical conditions of the process of its formation as educational. The authors present an original definition of the concept of “entrepreneurial potential of a student” with consideration of the determined peculiarities, which can be used for the development of students’ entrepreneurial potential within the system of higher education.

Participationis not just symbolic . In some cases, the children are still used as a tool or even not at all involved in a study, both in the preparation and execution of the research process . This allows the children involved in the institutional and cultural context. The involvement of children is very important to know their views or perspectives of the problem and the expected demand . One method to understand the level of participation, using the approach of Roger Hart's ladder of participation. Involving children is an opportunity and a challenge the right of participation the children . The benefit is improving the mainstreaming the children’s right programs, activities and policies. Participatory approaches in research, encourage children to be actively, not only as a decorative or maniputif. Encouraging the child inisitaif to participatory research . This context, it should also ethical principles in research with children, including the principle of consent to engage, appreciate the views of the child, as well as confidentiality of information, and the child initiative. To involvement of children in research, need to give children the opportunity to engage in the research process from the planning, implementation and publication . And the important in the participation of children, need support of the community and institutions of higher education to facilitate the process of participatory child research.Keywords: child participation, research with children, child mainstreaming.Partisipasi bukan hanya sekedar simbolik. Dalam beberapa hal, anak-anak masih dijadikan sebagai alat atau bahkan sama sekali tidak dilibatkan dalam sebuah penelitian, baik dalam persiapan maupun pelaksanaan proses penelitian. Hal ini memungkinkan anak-anak terlibat dalam konteks institusional maupun kultural. Keterlibatan anak-anak menjadi sangat penting untuk mengetahui pandangan atau persepektif mereka atas masalah dan kebutuhan yang diharapkan. Salah satu metode untuk memahami tingkatan partisipasi, menggunakan pendekatan tangga partisipasi Roger Hart. Melibatkan anak-anak dalam penelitian, merupakan sebuah peluang dan tantangan untuk memberikan ruang bagi anak-anak dan memberikan hak partisipasinya. Manfaatnya diharapkan akan bisa mempengaruhi berbagai program, aktivitas dan kebijakan yang lebih mengarusutamakan hak anak. Pendekatan partisipatori dalam penelitian, mendorong anak-anak terlibat secara aktif, tidak hanya sebagai dekoratif atau maniputif saja. Keterlibatan anak secara aktif, mendorong inisitaif anak sangat diperlukan dalam mendorong penelitian yang partisipatif. Konteks ini, juga harus mempertimbagkan prinsip etik dalam penelitian bersama anak, termasuk prinsip persetujuan untuk terlibat, menghargai pendapat anak, serta kerahasiaan informasi, dan mendorong inisiatif anak. Untuk mendorong pelibatan anak dalam penelitian, perlu memberikan kesempatan pada anak untuk terlibat dalam proses penelitian dari tahap awal perencanaan, maupun implementasi dan publikasinya. Termasuk mendorong terbentuknya ruang partisipasi bagi anak, dengan dukungan masyarakat dan lembaga pendidikan tinggi untuk memfasilitasi proses penelitian anak yang partisipatif.Kata Kunci: partisipasi anak, penelitian bersama anak, pengarusutamaan hak anak
