Постановка задачи. В настоящее время «цифровые медиа» - не просто термин, используемый в повседневной жизни, это распространенное явление. В связи с возникшей проблемой борьбы с короновирусом возникает необходимость сформулировать новые требованиями к учебному дизайну высшего образования и/или внести в них соответствующие изменения. Цифровые технологии дают потенциал для того, чтобы, с одной стороны, предоставить новые способы обучения и поддержать процессы обучения, а с другой стороны, подготовить студентов к жизни и работе в «оцифрованном» мире. Следовательно, преподавателям также необходимы новые профили компетенций, чтобы своевременно отражать и использовать цифровые возможности и цифровые инструменты. В статье ставится задача, проанализировать информационную открытость вузов в соответствии с требованиями действующего законодательства Российской Федерации в сфере образования, рассматривается организация образовательной деятельности университетов и обеспечение доступа обучающихся и научно-педагогических работников к информационно-образовательным ресурсам. Определяются этапы разработки цифровых учебных блоков в рамках университетских учебных курсов. Результаты. На примере преподавания немецкого языка в техническом университете проанализированы функциональные стратегии при планировании и проведении дистанционных и аудиторных занятий. Выводы. При планировании занятий необходимо последовательное разделение отдельных компетенций на дистанционные и аудиторные занятия. Отправной точкой здесь является модель, при которой студенты переключаются между дистанционными и аудиторными занятиями на более длительных фазах, например, еженедельными занятиями. Statement of the problem. Nowadays, "digital media" is not just a term in everyday life, it is a common phenomenon. In connection with the emerging problem of combating coronavirus, there is a need to formulate new requirements for the educational design of higher education and/or make appropriate changes to them. Digital technologies provide the potential, on the one hand, to provide new ways of learning and support learning processes, and on the other hand, to prepare students for life and work in a "digitized" world. Consequently, teachers also need new competency profiles in order to reflect and use digital opportunities and digital tools in a timely manner. The article analyzes the information openness of universities in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of education. The organization of the educational activities of universities and the ensuring of the access of students and research and teaching staff to the information and educational resources are considered. The stages of developing the digital learning blocks within the framework of the university training courses are defined. Research results. Using the example of teaching the German language at a technical university, the functional strategies have been studied when planning and conducting distance and classroom classes. Conclusion. When planning the classes it is necessary to consistently divide the individual competencies into distance and classroom lessons. Here, the starting point is a model in which students switch themselves between the distance and classroom studies in longer phases, such as weekly lessons.

This paper examines the prevalent notion that that the production of knowledge, academic research and teaching can and ought to be audited and assessed in the same manner as the production of other goods and services. The emphasis on similarities between industry and the academy leads to a neglect of fundamental differences in their aims and, as a consequence, a tendency to evaluate scientific research in terms of patents and product development and colleges and universities in terms of the labour market. The article examines the idea of the free academy, on the one hand, and compares and contrasts it to the idea of free enterprise, on the other. It is argued that the view of the university as a supplier of specific solutions for pre-determined, non-scientific needs (a workforce with skills currently in demand, innovations for commercial partners, justifications for political decisions, etc) undermines the public legitimacy of university science and weakens the fabric of scientific training and practice. The article proposes that the university’s main purpose must be to provide a recognized neutral, autonomous agency of rigorous, disinterested investigation and scientific education, which constitutes a necessary condition for an enlightened liberal democracy: an informed, capable and critical citizenry.

This paper develops a rhetorical critique of recent cases on migration and access to health care in Britain. It argues that the national territory, once a taken-for-granted starting point for reasoning in medical law, has lost its common-sense status as a result of neoliberal globalisation. This is evident in recent decisions involving on the one hand HIV-positive asylum seekers coming to the UK and on the other hand British ‘health tourists’ seeking funding for treatment elsewhere in the European Union. Courts are aware that many of these cases are likely to call forth the sympathy of audiences for the individual concerned, further undermining their privileging of the national scale. In curbing this ‘politics of pity’ they adopt a range of persuasive strategies.

The use of smartphones, despite being mainly social, has begun to be implemented in the university environment as a tool for working in class and for communication between students regarding teaching material. However, before creating teaching methodologies that use these devices, it is important to know the opinion that the students have of them. Our objective was to analyze the personal and academic use of Smartphones by Health Sciences students from different Universities. With this objective, a form was created consisting of sociodemographic questions and the Questionnaire on perceptions and attitudes towards learning through mobile devices (CPAAM). Subsequently, a descriptive analysis of the results was carried out. In total, 233 students participated. Our results showed that the personal is the largest use of Smartphones in these students, while the perception of their educational use is relatively low. Obtaining these data is a starting point for future analyzes that associate the use of these devices with the individual situation of the student, as well as for the effectiveness of the implementation of new learning methodologies.

ABSTRACTThrough the analysis of narratives on sorrow and pain, this paper attempts to verify the extent to which speakers seem to find relief and internal resources to rebuild their lives within their own processes of narration. The proposed reflections derive from two correlated experiences: (i) observing speeches of parents belonging to a group that supports grieving parents. These speeches led to a favorable mourning development; and (ii) the fact that the researcher had the opportunity to act as a ghostwriter of an unusual story: the one involving a transsexual who decided to undergo sex reassignment surgery and write about the experience to transform her pain into narrative. In both cases, the narratives seem to have been critical to transform their lives. In both cases, the empathy of the interlocutor(s) was fundamental to promote what I freely call “curative effects”. The starting point is the perception that each speech act can be understood in its wealth only within the broader context of its production. This includes checking – for the case of the fragments presented – the appearance of discourses about illness, death, loss, sexuality, which permeate our culture and get materialized into the speeches of the interlocutors. It is understood that curative effects as well as identity empowerment cannot be explained solely through the narrativization of personal stories about sorrow and pain, but it is equally understood that one needs a widely-held comprehension about the language movement that is enabled in those specific situations as to evaluate how language can be optimized in similar processes where transforming pain into narrative can be a matter of survival. My conclusion makes a few considerations on how these narratives can be deemed speech acts with curative effects that can promote life and reconstruct identities and how they act independently within the enunciative process. Austin’s (1975) speech act theory is the main theoretical prospect adopted, in a combination with recent debates about identity and reflections over the relations involving language, literature, narrative, and health promoted by GENAM, the Narrative and Medical Science Study Group of the University of São Paulo, Brazil.RESUMOEste trabalho busca verificar, por meio da análise de narrativas sobre dor e sofrimento, em que medida os respectivos enunciadores parecem encontrar alívio e recursos internos para refazer suas vidas por meio do próprio processo de narrar. As reflexões propostas são desdobramento de duas experiências correlatas: (i) a observação das falas das mães/pais pertencentes a um grupo de apoio a pais enlutados; falas tais que promoveram um desenvolvimento favorável do luto; e (ii) o fato de esta pesquisadora ter tido a oportunidade de ser a ghostwriter de uma história incomum: a de um transexual que decidiu realizar a cirurgia para mudança de sexo e resolveu escrever sobre sua experiência de modo a transformar sua dor em narrativa. Nos dois casos as narrativas parecem ter sido decisivas para transformar vidas. Nos dois casos, a empatia do(s) interlocutor(es) foi fundamental para que se promovessem o que chamo livremente de efeitos curativos. Parte-se da compreensão de que cada ato de fala pode ser entendido em sua riqueza apenas se inserido no contexto mais amplo de sua produção, o que compreende verificar, no caso dos fragmentos apresentados, a emergência de discursos sobre doença, morte, perda, sexualidade, que atravessam nossa cultura e se materializam nas falas dos interlocutores. Entende-se que os efeitos curativos e o empoderamento identitário não podem ser explicados unicamente através da narrativização das histórias pessoais de dor e sofrimento, mas igualmente entende-se que é preciso compreender melhor o movimento de linguagem que é acionado nessas situações específicas, para que se avalie como se pode otimizar a linguagem em processos semelhantes, em que transformar uma dor em narrativa pode ser condição de sobrevivência. Concluo com algumas considerações a respeito do quanto tais narrativas podem ser consideradas atos de fala com efeitos curativos capazes de promover vida e reconstruir identidades e o quanto atuam independentemente no processo de enunciação. A principal perspectiva teórica adotada é a teoria dos atos de fala de Austin (1975), combinada com debates recentes sobre identidade, e reflexões sobre as relações entre linguagem, literatura, narrativa e saúde promovidas pelo GENAM.

Mathematics forms the foundation for all the engineering disciplines. Students have trouble transferring this mathematical knowledge from their mathematics classes to the rest of their undergraduate engineering classes. This study is borne out of a desire to ‘be better,' to endeavour always to try to improve, but first, you need to know where one the starting point. The authors are also passionate about mathematics as it relates to engineering. Anecdotally the authors had heard that both students and faculty were disappointed and aggravated with the current status of mathematics teaching in undergraduate engineering. With no known study in Canada looking at how mathematics connects with engineering the authors went down the path to find out how strong the connection between mathematics and undergraduate engineering is at the University of Toronto.Through a mixed-method survey, the goal was to measure respondents’ (i.e. The teaching staff) views on the importance of and students’ competence of both mathematical topics and specific mathematic skills. A survey was administered in the 2017 fall semester to all of those who teach in the Faculty of Applied Science at the University of Toronto. The first part of the survey used a 5-point scale, the second part of the survey had open-ended questions.The responses to the 5-point scale questions demonstrate that the selected mathematic topics and specific skills were all seen as important and that the students’ competence was lower than their rated importance. The open ended-questions asked for respondents definitions and views as they related

ABSTRACTThis article discusses the reflective dialog from the documented experience with regard to teaching methodologies in subjects of practices, corresponding to the career of educational psychology, during an academic year at the Universidad Andres Bello, Viña del Mar, Chile. The question that guides the work said relationship to how you generate reflection in the university. On the basis of this research is established what we call a reflective rationality, process of poor practice to the inside of the university training, which involves among others, a dialectical process. Installing the need of setting up an identity of the professor that form trainers. This identity would be the one that allows in the good teachers a capacity of connection. They are able to weave a complex network of relations between themselves, their subjects and their students (Weller, 2010). In order that these become explicit there be had problematize the educational experience, it will have to become irregular, and it needs of one to want, of not refusing to the analysis of that one that it has been an engine of educational acts.RESUMENEste artículo analiza el diálogo reflexivo a partir de la experiencia documentada respecto a metodologías docentes en asignaturas de prácticas, correspondiente a la carrera de psicopedagogía, durante un año académico en la Universidad Andrés Bello, Viña del Mar, Chile. La pregunta que orienta el trabajo dice relación a ¿cómo se genera reflexión en la universidad?A partir de esta investigación se establece lo que denominamos una racionalidad reflexiva, proceso de escasa práctica al interior de la formación universitaria y que supone entre otros, un proceso dialéctico. Se instala la necesidad de configuración de una identidad del profesor que forma formadores. Esta identidad sería la que permite en los buenos profesores una capacidad de conexión. Son capaces de tejer una red compleja de relaciones entre sí mismos, sus asignaturas y sus estudiantes (Weller, 2010). Para que estas se hagan explícitas se tendrá que problematizar la experiencia educativa, se tendrá que hacer irregular, y ello requiere de un querer, de un no negarse al análisis de aquello que ha sido motor de actos educativos. Contacto principal: [email protected]

Regional branding is one of several ways to promote rural regions and support development of socially, culturally and environmentally oriented economies in areas that are interesting due to their natural and cultural heritage. The article attempts to review the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of branding as conveyed by leading authors in the marketing field. The aim of this paper is to define brand as a broad complex of variables, which are used in building of its identity as a basis for creating value proposition and the position of a brand. Article briefly describes the most comprehensive labeling system for regional products at the micro-regional level is the one guaranteed by Association of Regional Brands (ARB). The main contribution of this article is a theoretical model of strategic management of a regional brand, which captures the interdependence of the individual steps of brand building as well as stakeholders. The starting point for building of brand value is a strategic analysis of the brand, including analysis of customer and competitors. The analysis of external factors is followed by analysis of the brand itself. The resulting relationship between the brand and the customer is based on value proposition representing benefits (functional, emotional, self‑expression). The concept of total product is connected with the concept of total brand and it is offered to the customer as a regional product. Finally it suggests possibilities for further research.

The article focuses on the activities that regional higher education institutions carry out in the market of educational services in difficult social and economic conditions. Such factors as the needs for educational services in the region, the demand for graduated specialists, the employers' requests, the established image of the university, the financial situation, the solvency of the population, etc. reflect the performance of the regional university. In the course of transition to the new federal state educational standards (FGOS 3 ++), the Russian universities assume certain changes in the structure of basic higher educational programs. On the one hand, this relates to increasing the choice of disciplines, on the other hand, the block of the obligatory disciplines should be strictly adhered to. These changes entail changes in the management of educational processes, therefore, control actions or decisions must be effective for increasing the competitiveness of the regional educational environment. The formulation of the problem of choosing management decisions in a fuzzy environment proposes a method of their selection based on a set of parameters that have been determined to assess the management of available resources and teaching staff for decision-making in the activities of the educational and methodological management of a regional university.
