AbstractThis paper makes a contribution to the debate on university organisational actorhood by theorising the determinants of institutional strategic positioning. It argues that besides environmental forces and managerial rationality, the organisational dimension needs to be accounted for. Addressing the mixed empirical evidence in the relevant literature, we conceptualise the organisational dimension as a meso-level intervening variable mediating both external influences (outside-inside) and organisational action (inside-outside). We operationalise the organisational dimension along three components: organisational structure, identity and centrality, which are further elaborated in sub-components and indicators. A set of hypotheses to be tested in empirical research is provided. The paper offers new perspectives on the dynamics of change in higher education and on strategic agency of organisational actors.

The research is devoted to the study of the specificity of disorders of written speech in efferent motor agraphia, depending on the functional orientation of writing. The theoretical prerequisite for the work was the functionalist approach developed in the direction of cultural-historical psychology. The goal of the study: to reveal the variability of writing disorders in efferent motor agraphia in the conditions of different types of written speech performance in terms of functional orientation. The study used ecological tasks, which were developed in the culture of everyday writing activities, and traditional diagnostic tasks aimed at assessing separate writing operations. The study involved 22 patients with post-stroke efferent motor agraphia, 13 of them were men, the average age was 55,0±8,0 years. Nineteen patients had higher education, 3 — secondary education. The results of statistical calculations did not reveal significant differences in any of the types of errors at the level of individual words. The analyzed types of written errors were revised in favor of syntactic ones. Intraindividual analysis using nonparametric criteria revealed differences in 5 types of syntax errors. The obtained differences are explained by the choice of certain writing strategies that meet the written task assigned to the patient. The analysis shows the need to take into account not only the various instrumental components of speech and structural units of the language, in particular, syntax, but also functional changes manifested at the level of pragmatics.

Epistolary Culture

Our question is what tasks a higher education teacher should set himself in the context of electronic communication. The teacher and student / master's student are seen as mediators between different epistolary styles. The teacher is seen as the guardian of the traditional style of emailing, and the student youth — as the creator of the new one. Examples are given to characterize the epistolary culture of students in the format of distance learning. As a result, it is argued that during educational correspondence between a teacher and a student, new standards of speech communication and new expressive means generated by the digitalization are formed.

Purpose Student satisfaction is an important indicator of educational quality in higher education institutions. Learning environment factors are assumed to play a role in determining student satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to examine the intrinsic relationships between five learning environment scales embedded within one measure; and examine the associations between each of these scales and an overall measure of education program satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach In this cross-sectional study, 175 first-year occupational therapy students in Norway completed sociodemographic information and the Course Experience Questionnaire. The data were analyzed with Pearson’s correlation coefficient r and with linear regression. Findings All intrinsic associations between the learning environment scales were positive. In the adjusted analysis, higher education program satisfaction was significantly associated with higher scores on “clear goals and standards,” “emphasis on independence” and “good teaching.” The final model accounted for 45.0% of the outcome variance, of which the scores on the learning environment scales contributed 41.8%. Originality/value The learning environment is vital for student satisfaction. More specifically, efforts to improve student satisfaction may include strengthening student-focused teaching, strengthening the autonomy of the students, and ensuring that the goals and standards of courses are clear and easy to understand.

Higher education is a fundamental social institution that supports the latest theoretical developments and builds advanced skills. All institutions of higher education require that undergraduate and postgraduate students acquire performance skills as communication. Despite the fact that nearly every higher education program and discipline includes such skills among their learning outcomes, there are few instruments available with which to assess such complex competences. This article presents the findings of a study in which an instrument to measure communication skills was operationalized according to Habermas’ theory of communication, which distinguishes between strategic and understanding-oriented communication. The instrument introduced and used was based on role-plays that included standardised instructions and standardised observation forms. In addition to the empirical investigation into the theoretical dimensions of strategic and understanding-orientated communication, this study also examined two correlations: the correlation between performance-based testing and self-assessments and the correlation between performance-based testing and non-verbal communication. Two dimensions can be found in confirmatory factors analysis. Furthermore, the study found a medium correlation with non-verbal skills, but low correlation with self-assessments. Following a presentation of the study, the article concludes with a discussion of the benefits as well as limitations of such an instrument.

Актуальность статьи обусловлена необходимостью определить содержание универсальных педагогических компетенций, владение которыми позволит современному педагогу отвечать на вызовы времени, решать многообразные педагогические задачи в условиях стремительно меняющегося мира. Цель статьи: обосновать, что важнейшей универсальной педагогической компетенцией является риторическая культура учителя – владение совокупностью норм, правил, традиций и ценностей речевого общения. Раскрыты основные компоненты риторической культуры, на примере устных и письменных речевых произведений, созданных учителями в различных ситуациях педагогического общения, показан невысокий уровень владения современными учителями риторической культурой и сделан вывод о необходимости специально организованного обучения ее основам в процессе подготовки будущего учителя в вузе. В качестве учебной дисциплины, решающей эту задачу, предложена педагогическая риторика. Статья предназначена для работников системы высшего образования, руководителей образовательных организаций, исследователей. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to determine the content of universal pedagogical competencies, the possession of which will allow a modern teacher to respond to the challenges of the time, to solve various pedagogical tasks in a rapidly changing world. The purpose of the article: to prove that the most important universal pedagogical competence is the rhetorical culture of the teacher-the possession of a set of norms, rules, traditions and values of speech communication. The main components of rhetorical culture are revealed, using the example of oral and written speech works created by teachers in various situations of pedagogical communication, the low level of knowledge of modern teachers of rhetorical culture is shown, and the conclusion is made about the need for specially organized teaching of its basics in the process of preparing a future teacher at a university. Pedagogical rhetoric is proposed as an academic discipline that solves this problem. The article is intended for employees of the higher education system, heads of educational organizations, and researchers.

The article deals with the results of empirical research on the types of personality moti-vation structure of women who are acquiring higher education in psychology. Two types have been singled out: expressive and impulsive. The expressive type comprises two com-ponents: ideal motivation aimed at life necessities, general activity and social utility, and real motivation aimed at comfort, social status and communication. In the structure of the impulsive type there are three components: real motivation aimed at life necessities, so-cial status, general activity and social utility; real motivation aimed at communication and comfort; creativity motivation aimed at self-development and creative activity. Women belonging to the expressive type of personality motivation structure have more positive self-attitude and a higher level of psychological well-being than women belonging to the impulsive type.

The PERMA theory brings together elements of the PERMA model, character strengths, and well-being. Set in the context of positive education this study set out to empirically test this multidimensional theory with emerging adults in higher education. 516 female and male students aged 18 to 29 years studying in Universities in Greece were asked to participate in a web-based survey of (a) the five elements of PERMA, i.e. positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishment; (b) four character strengths, i.e. curiosity, gratitude, love for learning and humor; and (c) three well-being indicators, i.e. flourishing, resilience and positive perception. The patterning of associations within and between the three components of the theory was examined, leading to insights regarding both the multidimensionality of well-being and the specificity of relations between the three components. Conclusions were drawn regarding the theoretical and applied implications of the results for advancing positive youth development in higher education.

Methodological approaches of studying the distance learning process of students in higher education institutions are evolving alongside changes that occur in the educational system and in the global space. Therefore, the systematisation of theoretical, methodological and practical factors on which the modern methodology of distance learning is based makes it possible to form new opportunities for the education system in the direction of its modernisation. One of the components is communicative competence, that is, the ability to perceive and (re)produce the information in a foreign language in accordance with the conditions of speech communication. The purpose of the study is to characterise modern interactive methods of distance learning for the organisation and management of students’ educational activities. To achieve this goal, theoretical research methods were used: analysis, systematisation, substantiation of the conceptual apparatus of the study; the formulation of its conceptual provisions and conclusions; analysis of pedagogical documentation, content analysis of curricula and methodological support of the educational process to determine the possibilities of using educational IT-technologies in distance learning. The peculiarities of the innovative technologies usage while studying foreign languages and the theoretical and methodological foundations of Physical Culture and Sports are characterised. Distance learning of different disciplines should be included in the curricula. Several innovative forms of language “warm-up” are proposed. Modern educational WEB-technologies are studied, which allows us to expand the methodological components of distance learning in higher education institutions. The most effective distance learning means in higher education institutions has been established. The application of the Case method, the interactive «science brain storm» technology, the online versions of AWWAPP and RealtimeBoard, the use of the PRES formula and the Flipped classroom methodology has been analysed. For blended learning, it is proposed to use a traditional textbook in combination with interactive online tasks – Blended Learning – using the online tool MyEnglishLab. An important aspect is that during practical classes, the Zoom software is used for fine differentiation and accurate identification of textual material. The applied innovative teaching methods, combining new and effective methods of the educational process (knowledge generation, transfer and accumulation), will contribute to the intensification and modernization of education, as a result of which the synthesis of students’ certain competencies is achieved.
