У статті автори аналізують роль кураторства і тьюторства у процесі адаптації майбутніх вихователів закладів дошкільної освіти та вчителів початкової школи до умов навчання в закладі вищої освіти. Роз-криті типові проблеми, види і форми адаптації студентів-першокурсників до умов нового освітнього та соціального середовища, обґрунтовано актуальність адаптації студентів в аспекті професійної підго-товки до партнерської взаємодії.Розкрито сутність понять «адаптація», «адаптація студентів до умов ЗВО» «тьюторство», «взаємо-дія», схарактеризовано їх ознаки.У статті наголошено на нагальній потребі розвитку тьюторства як спеціально організованої профе-сійної діяльності.Із метою з’ясування рівня адаптованості до умов закладу вищої освіти проаналізовано результати опитування студентів-першокурсників спеціальності «Дошкільна освіта», «Початкова освіта» педаго-гічного факультету Херсонського державного університету.Респонденти продемонстрували низький рівень готовності змінюватися, інтегруватися у нове сере-довище життєдіяльності, схильність до уникнення нових вражень та емоційних переживань. Суб’єк-тивний показник загальної задоволеності від вступу до закладу вищої освіти також нижче середнього.На основі аналізу цих показників сформульовано висновки щодо труднощів пристосування першо-курсників до нового соціального середовища та запропоновано шляхи ефективної адаптації студентів у закладі вищої освіти.Отримані результати мають практичну цінність і можуть бути застосовані при впровадженні систе-ми тьюторства.У статті наведено конкретні приклади форм роботи з першокурсниками у період адаптації.Зроблено висновок про те, що на першому році навчання у закладі вищої освіти існує потреба в роз-робці наскрізної методичної системи адаптативної діяльності тьюторів для формування в майбутніх педагогів загальних та фахових компетентностей, особистісних якостей, необхідних у науковій та педа-гогічній роботі. The article analyses the role of curatorship and tutoring in the process of adaptation of future educators of preschool institutions and primary school teachers to the conditions of study in the higher education institution.The typical problems, types and forms of adaptation of first-year students to the conditions of the new educational and social environment are revealed, the relevance of students’ adaptation in the aspect of professional preparation for partnership is substantiated.The essence of the concept “adaptation”, “adaptation of students to the conditions of HEI”, “tutoring”, “interaction”, their features are characterized.The article emphasizes the urgent need for development of tutoring as a specially organized professional activity.In order to determine the level of adaptation to the conditions of higher education institution, the results of a survey of first-year students of specialties “Preschool Education”, “Primary Education” of the Pedagogical Faculty of Kherson State University were analyzed.Respondents showed a low level of willingness to change, to integrate into a new living environment, a tendency to avoid new impressions and emotional experiences. The subjective rate of overall satisfaction with the admission to higher education institution is also below average.Based on the analysis of these indicators, conclusions on the difficulties of adaptation of fist-year students to the new social environment are formulated, the ways of effective adaptation of students in higher education institution are suggested.The obtained results have practical value and can be applied in the implementation of the tutoring system.The article gives specific examples of forms of the work with first-year students in the period of adaptation.It is concluded that in the first year of study in higher education institution there is a need to develop a comprehensive methodological system of adaptive activities of tutors for the formation of general and professional competencies of future teachers, personal qualities required in scientific and pedagogical work.

The article discusses the principles of selection of lexical units in teaching a foreign language in a technical higher education institution. The author analyses the matter described in the works of such scientists as Igor' Rakhmanov, Lev Shcherba, Natal'ya Gal'skova, Nadezhda Gez etc. Based on the analysis of the literature the author describes the basic principles of selection of lexical units. The principle of frequency, the thematic principle, the principles of semantic and word-formative value are chosen as efficient ones for the formation and expansion of vocabulary in the process of learning a foreign language in the first year at a technical higher education institution. According to the principles identified by the author the vocabulary was formed for first-year students of engineering specialties. On the basis of these principles a system of exercises for the formation and expansion of vocabulary for reading texts in the specialty will be developed in the future.

Purpose Retention is one of the key performance indicators in university quality assurance processes. The purpose of this paper is to identify the causes leading to low retention rates for first-year undergraduate computing students in a UK higher education institution (HEI). Design/methodology/approach The study applies Tinto’s student integration theory, and connects it with the behavioural patterns of students. Data were collected from 901 students using Pascarella and Terenzini’s questionnaire (integration scales). This data were combined with student enrolment information and analysed using the structural equation modelling technique. Findings The study results indicate that Tinto’s student integration theory is useful in analysing student retention, but this accounts for only a modest amount of variance in retention. Nevertheless, important relationships amongst student’s initial and later academic goals and commitments have been identified through this new approach to analysing retention. The largest direct effect on retention was accounted for by initial goals and institutional commitments, followed by later goals and institutional commitments. In addition, the results show that academic and social integration constructs can have an influence on the student retention processes. When all, or some, of these relationships are operating towards students’ benefits, appropriate services or programmes, such as student support systems, can have their maximum benefits. Originality/value The authors mapped behavioural-related retention factors using a learning community lens. The study explored students’ social and learning experiences within the context of a UK HEI by employing Tinto’s model. This is the first time the model has been tested in this context.

This chapter examines the emergence of the global artistic-entrepreneurial university, the increasing importance of interdisciplinary and innovative pedagogies, and how these new emphases are shaping institutional change. The first section analyzes the global university as an “assemblage,” a process that gathers ideas, materialities, digitized platforms, and human beings into a new form of higher education. Because of the impacts on higher education of the flows of capital, technology, people, and cultural practices in both the “East” and the “West,” this form of the university transcends regional and national boundaries as it builds networks of learning around the world. The second section of the chapter focuses on the increasing importance of interdisciplinarity and developing active and integrative pedagogies organized around fundamental skills and questions. In order to ground the discussion in particular sites, the authors use examples from the University of Hong Kong’s new Core Curriculum and from the University of Washington Bothell’s Discovery Core for first-year students. In the final section, the chapter addresses what the next steps might look like as institutions change themselves to fit a globalized context. This section returns to the idea of the global university as a “hub of an ecology of studio-labs” (Parks, 2005, p. 57) and suggest that the “managerial” university is transitioning into a more flexible model of the “artistic-entrepreneurial” university in order to prosper in an extremely competitive and generative global environment.
