Process Comparison

It is shown that the implementation process of the European higher education system in Ukraine lacks a deep understanding of the real consequences and possible perspective of this process. Comparison of European and Ukrainian levels of higher education is performed. It is stated that the degree of junior bachelor can be claimed in the wide labor market. It is proved that the degree of doctor of sciences in Ukraine does not fully correspond to the degree of habilitated doctor of sciences in Germany and other countries, and the requirements to the level of qualification exceed the EQF requirements for these scientists. It is proposed to reform the Ukrainian professional development system to assign graduates a doctorate by profession as analogy with universities and higher professional schools in the United States. . The most detailing of higher education standards should be the subject of the utmost attention from the educational community and state institutions in Ukraine. It is stipulated that the implementation of international academic mobility can contribute to the outflow of Ukrainian prospective skilled personnel abroad. It is stated that the research components of PhD-training programs should be followed by the formation of individual, non-formal, even unique programs. The laws of Ukraine do not provide for educational and research doctors of sciences training programs. It removes from the agenda the issue of doctoral studies programs in Ukraine, leaving, at the same time, high requirements for the qualification of this category of scientists that exceed the EQF requirements. It is proposed by the example of the Baltic states to grant automatically a PhD-degree to all candidates of science who so desire and who are entitled to it but former doctors of sciences to habilitate. It is suggested to continue scientific researches of Ukrainian higher education system in order to ensure effective entry into the European educational community.

The purpose of this paper is to explore and describe the status of technology integration in Moroccan higher education system. Forty-six university English language teachers were selected from two universities: Moulay Ismail University Faculty of Arts and Humanities – Meknes and Sidi Mohamed Ben AbdellahDahr – El Mahraz – Fes . The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages. The findings revealed that teachers consider Information and Communication Technology very essential in their teaching. The results also showed that computer technology is integrated in Moroccan universities at low levels. This lack of use of the new technologies in instruction and learning was attributed to several barriers including insufficient professional development, inadequate access to computer technologies, and lack of computer training to name only few.

Assessing learners’ performance is crucial as it informs about learners’ achievement levels in addition to their strengths and weaknesses, not only in face-to-face but also in online teaching. The study aimed at investigating the challenges faced by language teachers in assessing learners during online teaching and to offer some suggestions regarding language assessment courses in teacher training programs. The study adopted a qualitative approach to data collection and analysis. The participants included 22 language teachers whose age was between 24 to 48. Of these teachers, 8 were male, while the rest were female. Their teaching experience varied from 2 to 25 years, with an average of 11.8 years. The data was based on the responses of the participants during semi-structured interviews. The participants were asked to attend ZOOM meetings to be held, considering their availability. The interviews lasted 10 to 25 minutes. The results of the study indicated that the challenges faced by the participants included five major themes: Assessment type, assessment item formats, support, previous training (assessment literacy), and academic integrity. Several suggestions were offered considering online testing and assessment literacy and language assessment courses in teacher training programs.

Text Talk

The study aims to explore literary text-talk in higher education and how some students’ reception of a poem is influenced by their interaction with each other. A particular focus is on whether and how the students use a set of literary conceptual tools when they talk about the poem. The study also illuminates factors that prompt the students perform close readings of the text. The data comes from four recorded and transcribed text-talks, where the students from different teacher training programs in Sweden, Denmark and Norway talk about a poem. These text-talks have been analysed through a thematic analysis. The results show that the students start by focusing on details and try to interpret the vocabulary rather than trying to understand the poem in its entirety. Initially, they also perform close readings and then continue with more extra-textual interpretations. However, because of the interactive nature of the text-talk, the students keep returning to the text. All the four groups use quite a few literary concepts, but they hesitate about the meaning and the use of these concepts. The results further show that the students help each other achieve a deeper understanding of the poem, and the talk itself has an impact on their reception of the poem.

The results have shown positive dynamics in overcoming xenofobia on cognitive, emotionally estimated and behavioural levels. The basic idea behind the xenophobic prevention model implementation included pedagogical support for students to form a critically meaningful space of their own knowledge and relationships. The developed pedagogical conditions for the prevention of xenophobia have proved to be effective, as evidenced by the results of statistical processing of diagnostic data.

The formation of a modern system of higher pedagogical education takes place in conditions of significant renewal of its conceptual foundations for the national direction, increasing the importance of the Ukrainian language as the state language at all levels of the educational process. The state progress of the Ukrainian language increases the attention to the issue of training teachers of Ukrainian language and literature in view of the latest requirements facing domestic teachers and which need to be correlated with existing pedagogical experience.

Focused on the purpose and content of education of future teachers of Ukrainian language and literature, as this issue had a political context due to the connection with the language policy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics towards Ukraine.

Spirituality is concerned with eternal truth and universality and is essential for sustainable development. Many education systems also view spirituality as a part of religion as religious organizations also consider that their activities promote spiritual development. Such a situation has led many secular nations to avoid spiritual education. However, universities in secular countries have been conducting studies on spiritual intelligence of individuals and also spiritual development in students and teachers reflected in their day to day activities. Certain school systems have been giving stress on spiritual development of students. Many co-curricular activities including prayer classes contribute to the development of spirituality in school students. At the higher education stage, discussions and debates play crucial role in making students realize the limitations of religions and evil effects of religious fanaticism. Spiritual development has its origin in the mother’s womb. The spiritual practices of the mother have much influence on the baby. Later, family members contribute to the spiritual development of the baby. Although the foundation of the spiritual development of an individual is laid by one’s family members, it is nurtured by a formal education system that is steered by teachers. Hence, the preparation of teachers for this role has assumed significance. The teaching about various spiritual leaders and their contributions to education system is utilized by teacher training programs in making their trainees aware of importance of spirituality in the life of an individual. High quality teacher training programs Train their trainees in skills of conducting debates, dialogue sessions, discussions and conducting a plethora of co-curricular activities for developing spirituality in school students.
