An essential element in the scientific and technological development has been the institutions of higher education (IHE), their role in economic development has been transcendental. The IHE’s contribute to innovation in the development of applied research aimed at generating useful technologies for society, in incorporating new technologies and in the direct or indirect application of technological innovations. The aspects worked by IHE are research, the generation of knowledge and technology, however, the challenge that currently arises for the IHE’s refers to the approach and management of their structures and actions and the preparation of their resources in the sense to place the technologies generated at the disposal of the market and society. In this context, the objective of this work was the application of a radar framework of critical success factors (RFCSF) for the commercialization of technologies in public universities, to a Technological Institute of Higher Studies in Mexico. The RFCSF allows monitoring four dimensions (Strategy and management, Culture and Structure, Market and Technologies and finally Individual Competencies) and sixteen indicators associated with these dimensions, in order to provide a diagnosis and improvements in the technology commercialization process.

Abstract Introduction:The authors of this paper base their research on the following assumption: the development of both geragogic education (older adult education) and profession is conditioned by the existence of a study program of geragogy provided by departments of geragogy created at universities (as public institutions of higher education). The fact remains that a qualified training of geragogues is absent in the Slovak conditions. Purpose:When compiling a graduate profile, inclusive of a list of competences that a geragogue should possess, a range of specific local circumstances needs to be taken into consideration. Subsequently, it is necessary to define a position of a geragogue. Geragogue is a professional working in the field of senior education, just like a pedagogue or an adult educator work in their fields. It is also important to identify and accentuate the philosophical and social context in which these professionals are confronted with the demands of today’s society, in a form of a society based on knowledge, questions of the ongoing social changes and defining the meaning of life. Results:The task of creating the department and program of geragogy is formulated as a social demand of the time, debunking the current myth of the crisis of universities. In history, a university was a vital place where the values serving social integration emerged. It was also a practice field for the educators to train so they could spread these values and transform them into social skills. Conclusion:In the conclusion, the authors propose key areas of undergraduate training of geragogues, including the definition of institutional anchoring, with the goal to contribute to ongoing professional discussion and to creation of the department and the program of geragogy.

El trabajo de investigación que se reporta busca hacer observables los posibles cambios en las trayectorias y perfiles del personal académico que podían atribuirse a la aparición e implementación, en la mayor parte de las Instituciones de Educación Superior públicas del país, de programas que tenían como objetivo el mejoramiento de los perfiles formativos, de producción e inserción internacional de los académicos, y que emplearon diferentes mecanismos de evaluación, diferenciación de ingresos y apoyos a la continuación de su formación. A través de definir una periodización que reflejara la aparición y modificaciones de dichas medidas, la propuesta de una tipología de las instituciones de educación superior y la adopción de una forma de organizar la diversidad disciplinaria, se intentaron controlar analíticamente los efectos paralelos que estos aspectos pudieran tener en la variación de condiciones de trabajo y socialización de los académicos. Con esta forma de organizar la diversidad se analizaron la evolución formativa, la combinación de actividades, el uso del tiempo, las opiniones y los resultados reportados por los académicos del país en la encuesta aplicada en 2001. Finalmente, en el trabajo que se presenta se subrayan algunos de los logros, tensiones y riesgos que parecen derivarse de las lógicas coexistentes en los mecanismos impulsados, especialmente en los ámbitos del compromiso institucional y la renovación de la planta académica actual.AbstractThe work of investigation that is reported looks for making observable the possible changes in the trajectories and profiles of the academic personal that could be attributed to the appearance and implementation, in most of the public Institutions of Higher Education of the country, of programs which  had like objective the improvement of the formative profiles, of production and international insertion of the academics, and that used different mechanisms from evaluation, differentiation of income and supports to the continuation of their formation. Through defining a periodization that reflected the appearance and modifications of these measures, the proposal of a typology of the institutions of higher education and the adoption of a form to organize the disciplinary diversity, were tried analytically to control the parallel effects that these aspects could have in the variation of conditions of work and socialization of the academics. With this form to organize the diversity were analyzed the formative evolution, the combination of activities, the use of the time, the opinions and the results reported by the academics of the country in the survey applied in 2001. Finally, this work emphasizes some of the profits, tensions and risks that seem to derive themselves from the coexisting logics in the impelled mechanisms, especially in the scopes of the institutional commitment and the renovation of the present academic plant.

Problem setting. Leasing out property that is involved in educational, academic, training and production, scientific activities by the public institutions of higher education often leads to violation of the rights of other participants in educational activities. They are sure to be a result of violating the limits, established by the current legislation, of exercising the rights to leasing out property by the public institutions of higher educational. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issues of state property lease have been studied by many scholars. Basic research in this area has been conducted by I. Spasibo-Fatieieva, O. Lipetsker, Ye.Kazarenko, V. Steshenko, M. Pronina, S. Puhinsky, T. Potapenkova, Yu.Basin, D. levenson, N. Khashchivska, N. Milovska and other scientists. Target of research. The aim of the paper is a comprehensive study and analysis of the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property. To achieve this goal the following tasks should be solved: 1) to define the limits of exercising the rights by the public institutions of higher education to leasing out their own property; 2) to determine the legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by the public higher educational institutions in violation of current legislation. Article’s main body. The article conducts a general study and analysis of the right of the public institutions of higher education to lease property. The author emphasizes that public higher educational institutions have the right to lease out only real estate and other individually identified property. The legal consequences of concluding lease agreements by public higher educational institutions in violation of the current legislation have been studied. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Summarizing the results of the study we can formulate the following conclusions. The public institutions of higher education have the right to lease out real estate and other individually determined property in the manner prescribed by law and subject to statutory restrictions (without the right of redemption and sublease, when it does not worsen the social and living conditions of persons studying or working in the educational institution). While leasing the property, the public higher educational institution realizes primarily their own property interests, at the same time, indirectly realizing the property interests of the state. If the lease agreement of real estate and other individually determined property of higher educational institutions is recognized as invalid, it may be recognized as invalid only for the future.

This study aims to investigate Malaysia’s Institutes of Teacher Education (ITE) students’ knowledge on sustainability toward environmentallysustainable behaviour (ESB).The model adapted is based on Hines, Hungerford and Tomera’s Environmental Responsible Behaviour Model which was established since 1987.The nature of this study was descriptive, and the data were collected using cross-sectional survey. A total of 425 participants responded to a questionnaire developed for this study. Several procedure was carried out in order to assess the validity and reliability of the questionnaire using PLS-SEM.The study revealed that the Malaysian Higher Education students showed a high level of knowledge of sustainability action skills, knowledge of sustainability strategies and knowledge of sustainability issues toward ESB and the environment. Findings associated with students’ gender, age, ethnicity, field of study and academic program were also reported and discussed.First, the participating students came from Institutions of Teacher Education. Although this institution is a major teacher training centre in the nation, further studies should include samples from other public and private institutions. Second, this study did not examine the correlation among the three main components: knowledge of sustainability action skills, knowledge of sustainability strategies and knowledge of sustainability issues.Limited studies have been conducted in Malaysia on ITE although the institutionsare supporting ESD through the Sustainable ITE program. Therefore, this study is exploring the critical success factors of knowledge on sustainability action skills, knowledge on sustainability strategies and knowledge on sustainability issues on environmentally sustainable behaviour ofteacher candidate students in Malaysia. In addition, past studies have recommended to investigate and look into the environmentally sustainablebehaviour among the younger generations, especially those with higher education levels, especially because inevitably, they are agents of change, and also they will be affected by the environmental issues that are caused by the current human activities. This paper also providesvaluable insights that foster a much better understanding in regards to the role of Institutions of Teacher Education (ITE) in assisting sustainable development, addressingthe important key issues to be considered in education system.
