Institutional Efficiency

Currently, state institutions of higher education are under pressure from business, the population and the state, which leads to the creation of conditions for dynamic changes in the internal environment of universities. This contradiction between the internal and external environment of universities in the conditions of dynamically changing markets at the post-industrial stage has a negative impact on institutional efficiency, and in these conditions, with the acceleration of instability, a third managerial structure begins to appear that can satisfy the demand for innovations organizations to hybrid universities, which combine a professional, administrative bureaucracy and adhocracy, with no severe restrictions in its structure. In this regard, the authors adapted the features of adhocratic organizations to the conditions of higher education, considered the possibility of applying an adhocratic approach to building the structure and design of an organization on the example of the Astrakhan State University, and identified a number of factors that limit the spread of adhocracy in Russian universities. The main results of the study and the following conclusions were obtained: the organization of training should be carried out on the principles of teamwork for the implementation of complex innovative projects, for which it is necessary to create and develop an appropriate facilities and resources; socialization is one of the key practical models for preparing students in the context of project-based learning and an adhocratic approach; any adhocratic system is a self-learning system, the formation of which requires the creation of appropriate conditions for training and development of university staff; the transition from a professional university to an adhocratic one must be carried out gradually, combining both forms of bureaucracy and adhocracy.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the phenomenon of openness in higher education and its trends and technologies of expanding educational opportunities in the digital information society of Moldovan universities. The main concepts of openness in education are associated with the practice of online learning and constructivist approaches, technical optimization of delivering information, continuous professional development and globalization of higher education. Since skilled knowledge becomes the main value of the market, then higher education perspective as a tool of knowledge reproduction is transformed into the basic space of openness and accommodation to innovative use of educational resources. The key issues related to openness in order to impact higher education target the development of Open Educational Resources (OER), as well as implication of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs), relatively new online learning trend. There are institutional practices of the adoption and use of open education technologies in some international universities and organizations, which could be extended as well to create an open learning system in the Republic of Moldova, focusing on national practices of education. Openness of Moldovan HEIs is a strategic choice for the future in a rapidly changing educational market that should proliferate.

The latest years are marked by the considerably aggravated demographic situation in Ukraine, which enhanced the competition among higher education establishments (HEEs) on the education services market and intensified the vocational guidance work in HEEs among student youth. The vocational guidance work, gaining special significance as early as in times of Ukraine’s transition to the market economy, still remains an important element of the government policy. It helps identify and purposefully develop talents and inclinations of a person, his/her professional and cognitive interests regarding the choice of future specialty, effectively increase his/her social and professional mobility and form his/her needs and willingness to labor activities. The authors justify the need for essential change in the higher education system of Ukraine. The social background for the professional choice, the dynamics of value orientations and values of student youth, specifics of the vocational guidance work in HEEs are studied by case of the National Academy of Statistics, Accounting and Audit (NASAA). Details of the system for vocational guidance work in NASAA are given, with formulating its core objectives and outlining the phases and areas of implementation. Results of a survey lead the authors to the conclusion about a gap between the needs of the labor market in highly skilled specialists, on the one hand, and the professional orientations and choices of student youth, on the other, resulting in a higher probability of casual entrances of applicants to HEEs. This gives birth to moral and psychological collisions of the personal nature, with the subsequent dissatisfaction with the chosen profession, staff turnover and migration of young specialists across economic sectors. It is revealed that full-fledged and comprehensive information and education efforts and qualified vocational guidance services on professional choice rendered to student youth can be most effective given the concerted actions of HEEs, schools and other social institutes.   The authors’ studies allow them to identify problematic points in the vocational guidance work and outline the main areas of further improvements in the vocational guidance.

The relevance of the problem stated in the article is due to the fact that the role and functions of higher education institutions is fundamentally changing nowadays. It happens thanks to breakthrough IT solutions in various areas of human life, the development of online learning technologies, and the increased need for fast and highly specialized education. This is primarily due to the demands of the time – the transformation of the modern world economy towards digitalization. The purpose of the work was to obtain objective information about the effectiveness of the use of innovative forms in the educational process of higher education. The implementation of the priority project in the field of education "Modern digital educational environment in the Russian Federation" allowed us to deploy a national Internet platform with the possibility of integrating mass open online courses (MOOCs) into the educational process. This approach has opened up new opportunities for universities to implement online educational programs and use Internet technologies to form individual educational trajectories of students. A priori, the high quality of moocs was declared and, as a result, the high quality of students educational results. However, there were no separate studies on the quality of students' competence formation. The article considers models for organizing the educational process in higher education using mass open online courses, describes the experience of the Bashkir state pedagogical University named after M. Akmulla as a specialized pedagogical university, considers private methods for online and offline training in the higher education system, and presents experimental data on the introduction of online lectures as an element of MOOCs in the educational process of a pedagogical university. The authors as well studied the students' opinions about new forms of education.

AbstractIn contemporary higher education systems, funding is increasingly associated with performativity, assessment, and competition, and universities are seeking different forms of financing their activities. One of these new forms is crowdfunding, a tool enabled by the digitalization of finance. Based on data from the UK higher education system and two crowdfunding platforms, our study adds to previous crowdfunding research in academic settings that have, thus far, focused on research projects, and assesses who is participating, their level of engagement and the resources they have gathered from crowdfunding. Our findings show that crowdfunding is used more by universities that have fewer resources. These universities are more teaching-oriented, less prestigious, and have a student body largely derived from lower socio-economic sectors of society. The popularity of crowdfunding in this type of university suggests that crowdfunding may enhance the democratization of higher education funding. However, as optimal crowdfunding participation and engagement requires high academic-to-student ratios and total-staff-to-academic-staff ratios, universities facing a greater financial precarity may be disadvantaged in their access to and engagement with crowdfunding. Differentials between part-time and full-time student ratios may exacerbate this disadvantage. Our study suggests that crowdfunding is a viable means of obtaining additional financing for learning activities complementing the fundings from other sources, but raises concerns about the use of crowdfunding as a burden to academics and students to find resources to meet learning experiences that ought to be provided by universities in the first place.

The integration of Ukraine's higher education system into the European educational space is associated with a variety of challenges and obstacles. It is clear that modern Ukrainian society cannot continue to teach young people according to outdated principles, technologies and methods. Therefore, the issue of educational innovations remains acute and relevant today, especially in the context of Ukraine's European integration processes. The aim of the article is to study the important issue of application of modern innovative methods and technologies in higher education of Ukraine, as well as to determine the benefits of their active introduction in higher education and the challenges for university teachers in the context of forming a new pedagogical paradigm and state policy in higher education. The author determines the essence of innovation in the higher education system as changes within the system, ideas, and processes, and tools, and results, taken in the unity of qualitative improvement of the pedagogical system. Also the author defines innovations in the field of pedagogy as a purposeful progressive change that introduces stable elements (innovations) into the educational environment that improve the characteristics of both its individual components and the educational system as a whole. The author is convinced that pedagogical innovative changes of different nature and scale occur at different levels and in the following areas of the higher education system: review and update specialties and specializations; formation of new educational-professional and educational-scientific programs and their constant updating; formation of new curricula; development and implementation of new learning technologies, in particular distance learning through the introduction of distance learning platforms and services; changes in the activities and images of both teachers and students, changes in relations between them, the creation and development of innovative creative groups. Thus, it can be noted that the basis of innovative technologies and methods of teaching higher education are active methods that help to form a creative and innovative approach to understanding professional activities.
