The current state of the development of Ukraine poses new requirements for the training of specialists. The task solution is related to improving the quality of economic education of specialists in all sectors of the society. With this in mind, improving the effectiveness of teaching economics in educational institutions of any level and profile is of particular value. The purpose of the article is to analyze the peculiarities of the use of pedagogical technologies in the process of teaching economic disciplines to students of higher education institutions. To achieve this purpose, such common scientific methods of research are used: analysis, synthesis, systematization, comparison, generalization in order to determine the specifics of the use of modern pedagogical technologies in the study of economic disciplines by students of higher education institutions. It has been found that the widespread use of pedagogical technologies began in the early 60s of the XXth century. This process was related to the reform of the American and European school. As it is known, the concept "pedagogical technology" was introduced to the scientific circulation for the first time in the USA. Today, the issue of determining the essence of pedagogical technologies, their classification and peculiarities of using them in teaching educational disciplines is envisaged in works of domestic scholars (V. Bespalko, V. Boholiubova, T. Ilina, M. Klarin, Z. Malkova, M. Nikandrov, Ye. Polat, H. Selevko, V. Chuprusov) and foreign ones (Anderson, J. Blok, B. Blum, R. Meidzher, etc.). According to the results of the research, scholars, who state the fact of the need to use pedagogical technologies in teaching economic disciplines in higher education institutions, express different points of view on this issue, which are significantly complementary. It is also important to consider scholars’ conclusions about the peculiarities of the use of pedagogical technologies in the activities of higher education institution in the process of teaching economic disciplines. Therefore, a modern pedagogical technology is a set of methods of pedagogical influence, involves specific techniques, methods, means. Effective use of pedagogical technologies in teaching subjects of the economic cycle helps the teacher to get a more effective result in teaching students and to enjoy the activities.

In this chapter, the authors have put together different strategies that can help fill these gaps. Many institutes have led from the front by implemented path braking methods that are giving the expected outcome. Practices that are followed and one that should be followed by institutions have been discussed.

This paper is to explore the challenges the student mobility will face under the fourth industrial revolution from the perspective of education economics. The Fourth Industrial Revolution affects not only economic activities such as production, sales, and consumption, but it also has an impact on education. Few previous studies, however, have explored the influence on international student mobility in the higher education sector. How does the Fourth Industrial Revolution change the cost-utility structure of studying abroad? What challenges do higher education institutions face? This paper analyzes the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution by employing an economic theoretic model. Some of the socio-economic changes caused by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as an increased global knowledge stock, increase demand for study abroad, while others including knowledge that rapidly becomes obsolete and the relatively high costs of studying abroad, reduce it. Higher education institutions not only face risks but also have opportunities in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The key to their success is in providing more opportunities to develop the non-cognitive skills necessary for jobs that machines cannot do.

The article addresses the study of supply and demand in the field of independent voluntary accreditation of study programmes delivered by higher education institutions in Russia. The paper presents the results of the analysis of the activity of Russian and foreign accreditation organizations as well as the analysis of the effectiveness of the national monitoring system for professional and public accreditation and European quality assurance register for higher education EQAR. In author’s opinion, the current state of public accreditation is characterized not so much by the “accreditation boom” on the part of higher education institutions, as by the “accreditation bubble” on the part of accreditation organizations. At the same time, strict requirements for accreditation organizations that are included into European quality assurance register for higher education provide confidence and recognition for independent international accreditation, which makes it increasingly in demand, especially among the country’s leading universities. The paper dwells on the following trends in the development of independent accreditation procedures: 1) during the current decade the accreditation process is gaining momentum, which is characterized by the growth of number of accreditation organizations as well as educational institutions interested in obtaining accreditation; 2) the state supports and encourages the development of the independent accreditation system for quality assurance in higher education; 3) the voluntary accreditation enables educational organizations to get an independent assessment of study programmes and thus to receive “a bonus” before a state accreditation procedure; 4) the database of External Quality Assurance Reports (DEQAR) becomes a preferred instrument for higher education institutions, whereas they are interested in raising their transparency related to the quality of study programmes and their competitiveness in the global educational space.

The article discusses the current state of professional training of engineers, in particular, electronics engineers in Ukrainian higher education institutions (HEIs) and explores best practices from US HEIs. The research outlines the features of professional training of electronics engineers and recent changes in Ukrainian HEIs. Such challenges for Ukrainian HEIs as lack of collaboration between higher education and science with industry, R&D cost reduction for HEIs, and downsizing the research and academic staff, the disparity between the available quality of human capital training and the demanded are addressed. The study attempts to identify successful practices of US HEIs professional training of engineers in order to suggest potential improvements in education, research, and innovation for training electronics engineers in Ukraine.
