The article deals with the human education problems, its role and significance for the national identity formation in the context of modern scientific discourse. The basic principles of humanitarian education and its key aspects are covered. It is emphasized that the issues of formation of outlook, Ukrainian identity, civic position, military culture are among the most urgent problems of revival and development of the Ukrainian army. It is determined that humanitarian knowledge is an important component of the higher education system and allows the formation of a person, a citizen and a patriot, not a narrowly trained professional. The role of the humanitarian component in higher education institutions is to call upon not only the transfer of scientific knowledge to the students, but also to form their value orientations and to increase the level of culture. In this context, sound thinking requires calling for the humanitarian component of education as an important factor in social change. There is a discrepancy between the amount of humanitarian knowledge (disciplines) and the possibility of their assimilation within the allotted time; formation of various humanitarian pedagogical practices; continuing to reproduce traditional forms of teaching that have largely exhausted themselves; the humanitarian component of education is poorly responsive to the problems and demands of the present. The terms “hardskills” and “softskills” are described as the core competencies that shape higher education institutions. It is determined that one of the important tasks of today is to train specialists of the new type who have key competences formed at a high level; capable of continuous updating and updating of knowledge; have a good command of foreign languages at a level sufficient for the implementation of quality professional foreign language communication. Modern modular educational technologies should be oriented to the new system of knowledge and will allow their updating and renewal in the conditions of continuous education throughout the officer's service. It is emphasized that the development of a humanistic strategy in military affairs is of great importance in creating a unified space of historical memory and shaping national identity - increasing the teaching of humanitarian disciplines in higher education institutions of the defense forces aimed at training the new type of specialists who have the key competencies of an officer-leader, patriot. It is noted that in military educational institutions of the armies of the leading countries of the world considerable attention is paid to the teaching of the social sciences as a problem of national security. The main ways to increase the effectiveness of the higher military education system of Ukraine in accordance with European requirements have been formed.

This paper presents a multi-voiced response to the question: how might conflict and difference be conceptualised in global citizenship education (GCE) imaginaries in Canada? It offers responses from six educators engaged with GCE research and practice in higher education institutions in Canada. The responses address different angles and issues related to difference and GCE, such as multiculturalism, (neo) colonialism, paternalism, indigeneity, internationalism, neoliberalism, benevolence and national identity building in Canada.

This article is based on a keynote address at the 2021 American Kinesiology Association’s Annual Leadership Workshop, for which I was asked to talk about the future of work in connection to higher education. I am familiar with the kinesiology field in my role as Dean of the School of Professional Advancement at Tulane University. This article touches on issues important to the field of kinesiology that may also be applied across other academic disciplines. Technology is changing the nature of work; the global pandemic has sped up the pace of that change. Beyond this, the potential for future pandemics and other transformational events and trends mean that work is in a state of permanent flux. Preparing students for future success in this environment requires educators to think more broadly and holistically about their roles. Higher education institutions also, arguably, have a responsibility not just to educate, but to model workplace culture.

A critical reader might well ask at this point: What is the real problem? Why is this author so worried about what most people may see as positive things in life: increased consumption, more education, promises about a working life with stronger ingredients of milk and honey? The sceptical reader may want to challenge this text and pose the following critical questions: . Why not just accept what people want? Isn’t it natural that people want more—and more? Of course, people are looking for more things and want to increase their consumption. And if they want to pay the earth for things with certain brand names, maybe they will be more satisfied with that? . So what if there is a lot of higher education, even if all the graduates do not get jobs? It’s good to keep people occupied and out of the way in a cheap and agreeable manner. And don’t the students always learn something in all these courses? They don’t perhaps become smarter, but education is better than unemployment. . Why not permit new and finer titles and labels? Why not make elites and others happy through using knowledge vocabulary to describe society, economy, and the population? And if all these university colleges, polytechnics, and other higher education institutions want to call themselves universities, why not be generous? The division between universities and university colleges only favours those snobs who work or study at the former places. And the liberal awarding of titles like ‘marketing director’ and ‘professor’ might give the people concerned a nice title on their business cards and make them happier, perhaps more motivated, and make their spouses proud. . Who cares about ‘real’ equality of opportunity for women and minorities if there are fine equal opportunity policies and programmes? If we have a sufficient number of women who are promoted to fill their quotas on the board and in higher education, we will have sufficient equality to comply with the statistics, and then everyone can be happy.

In the face of global competition and rising challenges that higher education institutions (HEIs) meet, it is imperative to increase innovativeness and efficiency of their management. Benchmarking can be the appropriate tool to search for a point of reference necessary to assess institution’s competitive position and learn from the best in order to improve. The primary purpose of the paper is to present in-depth analysis of benchmarking application in HEIs worldwide. The study involves indicating premises of using benchmarking in HEIs. It also contains detailed examination of types, approaches and scope of benchmarking initiatives. The thorough insight of benchmarking applications enabled developing classification of benchmarking undertakings in HEIs. The paper includes review of the most recent benchmarking projects and relating them to the classification according to the elaborated criteria (geographical range, scope, type of data, subject, support and continuity). The presented examples were chosen in order to exemplify different approaches to benchmarking in higher education setting. The study was performed on the basis of the published reports from benchmarking projects, scientific literature and the experience of the author from the active participation in benchmarking projects. The paper concludes with recommendations for university managers undertaking benchmarking, derived on the basis of the conducted analysis.

The unprecedented COVID-19 global pandemic radically changed the way we do things. The face mask is now a must to put on, and you do not handshake anyone. We are not even allowed to go near any person within six feet to maintain social distancing. The sudden pandemic lockdown forced all face-to-face classes into online classes overnight. It added immense pressure and stress to both instructors and students that brought many negative consequences. The sustained disruption has challenged higher education institutions to maintain academic continuity and put them into a grave financial situation due to a substantial decline in cash flow. This paper presents a case study of the transition to online learning for the Computer Information Systems classes at Medgar Evers College during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. We present the method we used to maintain academic continuity, examine the challenges of abrupt online transition, and assess what we learned from its outcome. In conclusion, we discuss the threats and opportunities for higher education institutions in the post-pandemic, which might change the entire landscape of higher education.

RESUMOA pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 colocou grandes desafios às instituições de ensino superior (IES), e o Politécnico de Leiria não ficou imune a esta crise. Num contexto em que a educação ao longo da vida faz parte das agendas políticas nacionais e internacionais, as instituições de ensino superior portuguesas têm vindo a reconhecer a importância desse paradigma, proporcionando momentos formativos e de partilha intergeracional para públicos diversificados. Com este artigo pretende-se perceber o processo de adaptação a contextos de ensino a distância pelos estudantes de uma formação sénior - o Programa 60+, do Politécnico de Leiria -, perante a situação pandémica. A partir de um estudo de caso, de contornos descritivo-exploratório, procuramos refletir sobre os processos de mudança de um sistema de ensino tradicional e presencial para a utilização de metodologias de ensino e aprendizagem suportadas por ferramentas digitais. Participaram no estudo 35 estudantes seniores inscritos no 2º semestre do ano letivo 2019/2020. Concluiu-se que a maioria dos respondentes sentiu dificuldades na adaptação ao novo contexto que se impôs de forma inesperada. Mais de metade não participou nas atividades a distância e afirma preferir as atividades presenciais. Dos que participaram nas atividades a distância, a maioria não sentiu dificuldade no acesso às plataformas e na utilização das ferramentas digitais, o que permite evidenciar a importância da formação neste domínio. Resultados que vão ao encontro das orientações nacionais e internacionais para a adoção de estratégias que promovam a literacia digital.Palavras-chave: Educação ao longo da vida. Ensino a distância. Seniores.ABSTRACTThe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic posed major challenges for higher education institutions (HEIs) and the Polytechnic of Leiria was not immune to this crisis. In a context in which lifelong education is part of national and international political agendas, Portuguese higher education institutions have been recognizing the importance of this paradigm, providing training and intergenerational moments of sharing for diverse audiences. This article intends to understand the adaptation process to home online schooling by students of a senior training - the Program 60+, from the Polytechnic of Leiria -, in the face of the pandemic situation. Based on a descriptive-exploratory case study, we seek to reflect on the process of changing from a traditional and face-to-face teaching system to the use of teaching and learning methodologies supported by digital tools. Thirty-five senior students, enrolled in the second semester of the academic year 2019/2020, participated in the study. We concluded that most subjects experienced difficulties in adapting to the new context that was imposed upon themselves unexpectedly. More than half did not participate in the proposed online activities and claim to prefer face-to-face activities. The majority of those who participated in the online activities did not experience difficulties in accessing the platforms and in the use of digital tools, which highlights the importance of training in this sort of learning. These results are in line with the national and international guidelines for the adoption of strategies that promote digital literacy.Keywords: Lifelong education. Distance learning. Seniors

Abstract The pandemic COVID-19 has had an impact around the world and in the European Union, putting unprecedented pressure on education and training systems. It has fundamentally changed the way we learn, teach, communicate and collaborate in our education and training communities. This has implications for students, families, teachers, trainers, institutional leaders and society as a whole. Most European Member States have decided to extend the physical closure of education and training institutions, while mobilising alternative solutions and support for distance education and learning, especially digital solutions. This transformation has challenged education and training systems and stakeholders in these areas in Member States, particularly students and families, as well as teachers and trainers, but it has also provided them with valuable learning and training experiences, accelerated the digital transformation of education and training institutions. Emerging and disruptive technologies have undergone numerous and sufficient changes to ensure this. Thus, they will change the face and vision of higher education institutions.
