Az IKT eszközök a paradigmaváltás ígéretét sugallják a nevelés területén is, de komplex kihívást teremtenek azáltal, hogy nemcsak az oktatás folyamatát támogatják, hanem annak tárgyává is váltak. A technológia oktatásba való integrációja nem az elvárt eredményességgel valósul meg, kényszerítő hatású érvényesülése sokszor rossz módszertani gyakorlatot eredményez. Kutatásunkban az ország 24 elismert oktatásinformatikai, felsőoktatáspedagógiai szakértőjével készítettünk interjút azzal a céllal, hogy a felsőoktatás digitális oktatási kultúrájának jelenlegi helyzetét bemutassuk, egyfajta korlenyomatot biztosítva. Az interjúkérdések a módszertan, az önfejlesztés és a digitális oktatási kultúra értékelése tématerületek köré szerveződtek. A kapott válaszokat kvalitatív módszerrel dolgoztuk fel és a leírt szövegeket a tartalomelemzés szabályai szerint kódoltuk. Az eredmények bemutatása során a szakértői véleményeket szintetizáltuk, mert így kívánjuk segíteni a felsőoktatásban dolgozók módszertani kultúrájának formálását, tévképzeteik eloszlatását a pandémia által bevezetett kötelező digitális oktatás kihívásokkal teli időszakában.While ICT tools are promising a paradigm shift in education, they are  also presenting a complex challenge by being not only an aid to the  process of education but also the subject of it. The integration of  technology into education has not been bringing the expected success,  and when implemented by force, they often result in poor methodological  practice. In our study, we interviewed 24 renowned experts in  educational informatics and higher education pedagogy in Hungary in  order to acquire and present a picture of the current state of digital  educational culture in higher education. The interview questions are  centered around the topics of methodology, self-improvement, and the  evaluation of digital educational culture. Responses were processed  qualitatively and transcripts were coded according to the standard rules  of content analysis. In the discussion of the results, answers were  synthesized, because our aim is to shape the methodological culture of  teachers in higher education and to dispel their misconceptions in this  challenging period of compulsory digital education forced upon them by  the pandemic.

Observing the different progress rates of the available data, information and knowledge (on one side) and human capacity to process these available data, information and knowledge (on the other side), the author becomes aware of the higher pace of the first –in the midst of impetus of new communication and information technologies –and argues that, at this point in time, we are eye-witnessing a real education paradigm shift. The education system is at a critical point in time (call it critical point in education –CPE) when the educator’s role must change from knowledge repository to skilled, expert knowledge explorer and identifier, switching from teaching the subject to teach students how to pick the right and relevant information related to the subject –from the ocean of available data. The current corona-crisis –which started by the time when the ideas for this chapter were put together –made this question more acute, asking for re-thinking the education system and educator’s role. This chapter launches the thesis of the education paradigm shift –in that respect of the educator’s role in the predictable future, to provoke a discussion, and to open a research path, for higher education strategists, policy makers, scholars and educators.

The purpose of this research article is to investigate the perceptions of EFL students during the Covid-19 pandemic on implementing e-learning at university-level education in the EFL context of Afghanistan. The covid-19 pandemic has globally led the universities towards a paradigm-shift. As well as the instant development of ICT has restructured the content and the context of education particularly teaching and learning EFL. To determine the barriers and opportunities of implementing e-learning in EFL education, a qualitative method with semi-structured interview are applied to perceive the perceptions of EFL students. The study purposefully selected EFL students (N= 21 male and female) from Afghanistan universities as respondents. The data from the semi-structured interview is analyzed thematically. Results show that EFL students perceive e-learning approach as a better alternative to traditional face-to-face classrooms. Despite being regarded as an interactive method for EFL education, the lack of regular electricity connection, low internet bandwidth, high costs of ICT tools, lack of infrastructures, and lack of ICT knowledge of the teachers and students are perceived to be the barriers to implementing e-learning in Afghanistan higher education. In brief, the study contributes to establishing an in-depth understanding of the e-learning implementation and EFL instructions in Afghanistan higher education during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The expediency of introduction of mixed forms of studying in higher educational institutions is considered. The opinion and the current state of the application of mixed forms of teaching among the teachers of the department of computer technologies in the management and teaching of the Berdyansk State Pedagogical University have been studied. With this purpose, a questionnaire and an analysis of the results obtained were held. Considerable attention was paid to the study of the following issues: Is it appropriate to use mixed learning in the preparation of bachelors and masters? Do you use mixed learning in your professional activity? During which of your classes, do you often use distance learning platforms to organize mixed learning? Which distance platforms do you use during lectures? What kind of remote platforms do you use during laboratory tests? Which distance platforms do you use during practical classes? What are the main benefits of mixed learning can you mention? What are the main disadvantages of mixed learning? In the article a meaningful analysis of the results of the study was conducted. The obtained results are presented with the help of histograms and graphs on the basis of which the following conclusions have been made: currently mixed learning is rapidly developing and is popular among the target audience. Most often yogis are used in the learning process during laboratory work. The most commonly used remote LMS Moodle and Google services platforms were identified with a view to further development of methodological recommendations for their use by practitioners of higher education institutions. The advantages and disadvantages faced by teachers in their practical activities have been explored and they highlight the opportunity to teach a large number of students, provide a quality control and quickly obtain learning outcomes that significantly accelerates the process of learning. Among the disadvantages of possible technical difficulties in deficiencies attention should be paid to their prevention. On the basis of the accomplished research, it was concluded that the subject under investigation is relevant and needs further improvement.

Capacity For Change

Peter Vaill’s evocative metaphor of “living in permanent whitewater” is very relevant to universities today. Leaders in our institutions (and elsewhere) are navigating unfamiliar territory—and they are doing so without a map. The demands and expectations placed on leaders can be extreme and is testing the abilities of our institutions’ leaders to the extreme. Leaders and leadership paradigms has been disrupted and the old model of fear and control do not work. However, the primary leadership challenge is not simply to develop a new leadership competency model—describing a group of behaviours we expect from our leadership. The deeper challenge is to develop a new mind-set that anchors, informs, and advances these new behaviours. The ability to question your own deeply entrenched assumptions and well-established worldviews, habits and mind-sets will be critical. When unpacking the case for change versus the capacity for change, this chapter surfaced, five kinds of shifts needed to lead in a world characterised by complexity, disruption and uncertainty. I have labelled these shifts as the Awareness shift, the Identity shift, the Mindset shift, the Paradigm shift and lastly the shift from Fear to psychological safety. Are these the only shifts that matter in the current state? I am sure not, we can add many more. But, I believe that these four shifts that demonstrate the complexities of the challenges facing higher education has the potential to reposition and reinvent our leadership for the future.

AbstractThis article deals with the question of how internal crowdsourcing can be used as a tool to support employee qualification measures and help develop their competencies in organizations. The first chapter examines the current state of the competence research. A paradigm shift from ‘qualification and professional development’ towards ‘competencies’ and the implications for the concept are described. Chapter “An Introduction to Internal Crowdsourcing” deals with the analyses and work on the subject of competence acquisition and development, including considering the results of two interview series and two workshops. In chapter “Managing the Crowd: A Literature Review of Empirical Studies on Internal Crowdsourcing”, the authors present a combined and practical approach to support competence development through internal crowdsourcing in organizations. Finally, the last chapter sums up main results and perspectives for competence development through a combination of virtual and face-to-face working processes.

The article presents a methodological approach to studying iterative processes in the school course of geometry, by the example of constructing a Koch snowflake fractal curve and calculating a few characteristics of it. The interactive creative environment 1C:MathKit is chosen to visualize the method discussed. By performing repetitive constructions and algebraic calculations using ICT tools, students acquire a steady skill of work with geometric objects of various levels of complexity, comprehend the possibilities of mathematical interpretation of iterative processes in practice, and learn how to understand the dialectical unity between finite and infinite parameters of flat geometric figures. When students are getting familiar with such contradictory concepts and categories, that replenishes their experience of worldview comprehension of the subject areas they study through the concept of “big ideas”. The latter allows them to take a fresh look at the processes in the world around. The article is a matter of interest to schoolteachers of computer science and mathematics, as well as university scholars who teach the course “Concepts of modern natural sciences”.

This paper focuses on the understanding of service quality in the context of Vietnamese universities. It proposes an approach for measuring the quality of the higher education service provided by universities in Vietnam. Firstly, an exploratory study was conducted. Then, the set of items which were generated became the subject of a questionnaire that was then administered to 675 students of a Vietnamese university to determine the dimensions of higher education service quality in this context. The obtained results permit us to appropriate a measurement scale which is slightly different from the SERVQUAL scale widely known as the standard for measuring service quality. The results also show that tangible elements, responsiveness and assurance seem to be three specific dimensions of the higher education service of Vietnamese universities.

Abstract We are witnessing a paradigm shift regarding the theatrologist’s position in the Romanian theatre environment. While, until recently, theatrology meant cultural journalism, this definition is no longer sufficient or attractive for secondary school graduates. Romania’s higher education offer has changed increasingly in the last years, in the attempt to keep up with the requirements of the labour market; the solution was provided by the area of cultural management. Every last faculty in this sector covers the new direction of study and research. This article seeks to investigate the existing educational offers, which should allow an understanding and a new complete image of the theatrologist in Romania; in our opinion, this image will have an increasing impact on the national theatre community, shaped, of course, by the new directions of study.
