The leading trend in the development of Ukrainian and world pedagogical science is fundamentalisation, which is the basis of the "advance" education in the context of sustainable development of society. The primary principles of pedagogy in its interdisciplinary measurement was established through the activities of the university and academic centres where scientific schools were formed in retrospect. Accordance to this, the elaboration of methodological, theoretical, and practice- oriented achievements of scientific schools in the pedagogical and educational environment occurs through the continuity of generations of scientists, the actualization of achievements of experienced scientists, and their combination with the innovations of young scientists. The synthesis of these two layers of science allows solving present issues that arise in modern pedagogical science and educational practice. There is the need to globalise the experience of development of scientific schools in the contemporary education and pedagogical environment of Ukraine, particularly in academic centres, that represents the development of pedagogical science in the personalised dimension and confirms the crystallisation of its fundamental principles and innovative nature of scientific research.We summarised the achievements of the leading academic institution of Ukraine – the Institute of Pedagogical and Adult Education of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine – in the personalised context and outlined the prospects for the development of scientific schools of the Institute to meet modern challenges of reforming education and science.We described the trends in the development of scientific schools of the well- known Ukrainian scientists and educators (I. Ziaziun, S. Honcharenko, N. Hychkalo, L. Lukianova, L. Khomych), which were formed on the values of pedagogical mentoring, intellectual leadership, empathy, ethical and aesthetic philosophical guidelines.

The paper begins by considering the profession of pedagogist and then looks at the challenges faced by pedagogists in educational practice, with a focus on the activities to which pedagogists want to devote more time in conditions of change, and on the ways in which pedagogists obtain information on the results of their work in schools. The paper presents part of the findings of a study on the the views of pedagogists-educationalists in primary and secondary schools in Serbia. The aim of the research was to identify the professional activities to which pedagogists want to devote their activities in educational practice, and the ways they are informed about the results of their work at the level of the school, noting the differences related to the type of school in which pedagogists are employed. The findings of the research are indicative and suggest that the activities to which pedagogists want to devote more time at work are primarily professional development and student counselling, while the findings concerning the way in which pedagogists are informed about the results of their work point to the need for more enterprising, active and effective action by school pedagogists in educational practice which will also affect the work of pedagogists in the contemporary education system

In the modern conditions of the massive impact on the consciousness of the young generation of multidirectional social factors and influences, the development of moral immunity among students becomes of increased importance. The article notes insufficient development of this problem in modern psychological and pedagogical science. The authors offer their own approach to the interpretation of the concept of “moral immunity” as a special personal neoformation that performs the functions of providing psychological resistance to negative factors that can disrupt the normal course of development and socialization of an individual, as well as creating the basis for the formation of a stable moral position in relation to other people and oneself. In the structure of moral immunity, the value, sensory and moral components are distinguished. Based on the material of an empirical study of students with different professional orientation, it is shown that the last two components are characterized by a certain mismatch of their manifestations. The article reveals some areas of work with students that ensure the development of their moral immunity in the educational environment of the university.

Universities foster a collaboration with industry with their commitment towards society. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices of organizations facilitate implementation of the recognition of prior learning (RPL) in higher education, while creating long-term opportunities for sustainable development. The researchers of this study come from two different disciplines, and aim to embed sustainable development strategies for transforming education by utilizing the capacity of educators and industry professionals, while also contributing to the community and economy. The researcher with a specialization in economics identified the well-being of the community and economy, and another researcher with a design and ergonomics background brought the concept of service design. Results of the conducted surveys imply that a skill gap exists in the labor market and participants from the community are interested in receiving hands on training from the industry. The researchers introduce a model focusing on the significance and implementation of RPL, allowing youth and adults to accumulate credit through non-formal and informal learning experiences. The model reflects how the university assesses the current skills and needs of the target communities, how they are communicated to industry by identifying potential areas of development, how industry responds to the needs by providing training, and how the university acknowledges prior learning and promotes potential candidates to contribute towards industry.

Mapping Exercise

The United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development identifies 17 goals as a shared blueprint for peace, prosperity, people and the planet. Australian academic libraries have started documenting and planning how academic libraries contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the identification of assessment frameworks and key performance indicators. In 2019, the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) Library stepped through an exercise of understanding how our day-to-day work and annual planning targets mapped to the SDGs. The article is a case study. The authors outline how an academic library’s services, projects and action plans were mapped to the SDGs and how the mapping exercise was communicated to the community. The article will situate this activity among the broader approaches being taken by the Australian library community, including the 2030 stretch targets for Australian libraries. USQ Library staff found that existing services, collections and projects correlated to eight of the 17 SDGs. Activities were mapped to these eight goals and reported to senior executive of the University. The mapping exercise increased the awareness of library staff about the broader cultural and societal implications of their roles. The communication strategy led to conversations that increased university leaders’ awareness of the SDGs and the value and impact of USQ Library in improving access to information as well as the library’s role in transforming the lives of USQ students and community. By undertaking an exercise to map collections, services and projects to the SDGs, USQ Library has been able to demonstrate how their knowledge and information infrastructures which enable student achievement and research excellence. The SDGs can be used by university libraries as a benchmarking tool and as a challenge to set stretch targets aligned with the United Nation’s 2030 agenda.

Growing environmental problems and increasing requirements of green jobs force universities around the world not only to transform their curricula but also to enrich existing ones with contents related to the promotion of sustainable development. This paper aims to show the importance of measuring and monitoring the share of green contents in all university activities, as only in that way it is possible to monitor trends and give realistic assessments of their effect and importance. The paper presents a comparative analysis of different types of methodologies for assessing sustainable activities at universities as well as research conducted at the University of Novi Sad in Serbia and its comparison with the University of Gothenburg (Sweden). This research aims to point out the importance of increasing competitiveness in higher education through assessment of green content in a curriculum and its promotion. In this way, through eco-labeling methodology, it would be easier to identify those contents that, in a certain share, contribute to the promotion of sustainable development. Furthermore, this methodology can easily be extended across the country and the region, which would bring positive effects to all stakeholders in higher education.
