Changes in society's demands for graduates of higher education programs, the transition to a high-er level of development of science, technological processes, society and new approaches to teaching and educating a person, have led to a change in educational paradigms. A higher school teacher must solve new complex problems: not only achieve an educational result, but develop new approaches to its formation and assessment. That is why the requirements for educational technologies are in-creasing, there is a need to detail their content and implementation mechanisms in order to ensure the formation of those graduate competencies that are planned by the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education. The key tasks also include fill-ing the potential of educational technologies in ac-cordance with the professional standard, which de-termined the specifics of labor functions and labor actions, for the implementation of which the future specialist is preparing for. Thus, there is a search for universal educational technologies that can quickly and effectively help in the formation of the compe-tencies of a university graduate in the modernizing conditions of modern education. The article pro-vides an analysis of the methodological aspect of the formation of graphic design technology, de-scribes the implementation of its components: the method of drawing up a collage, a logbook, an intel-ligence map and a visualization method in the edu-cational space of the Chita State Medical Academy of the Ministry of Health of Russia.

This paper examines students’ perspectives on the challenges raised by their first encounter with EMI pedagogy in higher education. The research was conducted with a group of beginner students with no previous experience in monolingual instruction in English. The case studied is based on two English Cultural Studies subject courses of the English Studies Program at a Spanish university and taught in a learning environment of total linguistic immersion. By activating their metacognitive and metalinguistic awareness, students were encouraged to take ownership of the stages of their learning process and assess it critically. Set at the intersection of EFL, ESP, and EAP, the specificities of these courses comprising linguistic and non-linguistic contents shed light on the teaching procedures employed in English Departments training programs, whose goals are to turn undergraduates into expert linguists and philologists and maximise their communicative proficiency in academic English.

The article discusses the main milestones in the development of cognitive science, which from the very beginning has been a synthesis of natural and humanitarian knowledge. The authors not only emphasize the need to strengthen the role of humanities (philosophy, linguistics, psychology, cultural studies, etc.), without which serious research projects in the field of cognitive science are literally impossible, but also point out the importance of cognitive science in the promotion of humanities in universities. Turning to the work of the representatives of Russian cultural and historical psychology L.S. Vygotsky and A.R. Luria, the authors try to show that their idea that culture is a system of supra-individual regulators that permeate mental and material-objective life forms preceded some basic settings of the cognitive paradigm long before its official establishment.

In 'What is Enlightenment?' Foucault poses the question: 'How can the growth of capabilities be disconnected from the intensification of power relations?' This article revisits that question by raising critical questions about graduate capabilities. Its aim is to reflect, and to prompt reflection, on the complexities of the definition, implementation and evaluation of capabilities-based curriculum in the discipline of cultural studies and in the higher education sector more broadly. It asks what types of graduates are being ‘produced' by universities and for what purposes? Does cultural studies construct the student subject differently from institutional graduate capability frameworks? What is the role, if any, of higher education in the development of capabilities such as ethical practice or moral standards? What of the principles that are demonstrated in institutional graduate capabilities (sustainability etc)? Are these universal values? What relations of power and processes of normalisation underpin the ‘education revolution’ of capabilities-based curriculum?

Higher education is a field of study. It does not have an integral cognate discipline that defines its extent and borders. Contributions to understanding higher education come from, among others, sociologists, historians, political theorists, economists and students of science policy and cultural studies. These were the disciplines whose exponents were assembled by Burton Clark in UCLA to summarise for a wider audience the contributions their disciplines were making to scholarship and research into higher education in the early 1980s. This paper reviews these disciplinary approaches and Clark's reactions to them in the light of later developments in higher education and its study. It concludes by claiming that the contributors showed remarkable prescience in identifying many of the main developments in higher education studies over the following quarter of a century. It also asserts that although there has been a huge expansion in higher education studies since then, and they now have all the attributes of an academically respectable field of study throughout the world, they remain dependent on their foundation disciplines for their intellectual rigour.

This paper explores the possibility of an uncanny digital pedagogy. Drawing on theories of the uncanny from psychoanalysis, cultural studies and educational philosophy, it considers how being online defamiliarises teaching, asking us to question and consider anew established academic practices and conventions. It touches on recent thinking on higher education as troublesome, anxiety-inducing and 'strange', viewing online learning and teaching practices through the lens of an uncanny which is productively disruptive in its challenging of the 'certainties' of place, body, time and text. Uncanny pedagogies are seen as a generative way of working with the new ontologies of the digital.

Abstract Since the 1990s, not only have China's universities become more in line with global standards but they now set them in some areas. This paper looks at how the production of space in Chinese higher education is employed in “new era” China to manage contested sites of globalization. From the spatial practice of scholarship to the representational spaces that map the educational bureaucracy, the production of space in Chinese higher education helps to organize social relations. This paper argues that the production of space in Chinese higher education is used to manage conflicts between global flows and localization as well as to serve national priorities. The paper contributes to ongoing discussions of the globalization of higher education and cultural studies of space and spatiality in contemporary China.
