THE REVOLUTIONARY ATTACK ON «FREEDOM OF EDUCATION», OR THE PROLETARIAN READING OF SOCIAL DISCIPLINES IN THE 1920s: FROM CONCEPTION TO IMPLEMENTATION

The article examines the problems of the Soviet education formation in one of the most troubled periods of the Soviet history – in the 1920s. The features of the policy of the Soviet government in this direction are studied. Through the study of a number of steps taken by the Soviet government in the field of university curricula transformation, a general picture of large-scale changes in the entire educational system is given. The work focuses on social disciplines that became key ones in creating the Soviet educational system. On the example of the activities performed by two universities in the Volga region (the largest at that time) – Saratov State University and Kazan State University -the main reasons and principles of introducing new social disciplines are studied. What it involves first is Marxist-Leninist social disciplines, which are actively implanted by the new government in the educational programs of the country’s universities in general and the universities of the Middle Volga Region in particular. The process of building social institutions designed to accumulate the study of Marxist-Leninist disciplines in universities is shown. On the basis of examining the archival documents reflecting the activities of these universities, particular moments of history associated with the beginning of the introduction and teaching Marxist-Leninist disciplines were reconstructed. The emphasis is placed on studying the reflection of the higher-education teaching personnel and their individual representatives on the ongoing changes. Individual statements of university teachers, their speeches, articles, and their direct social practices became one of the main sources that made it possible to reconstruct the attitude of the university intelligentsia to the flooding of the educational process with Marxist-Leninist disciplines and to the transformation of their professional space as a whole. The paper also traces the methods of the university intelligentsia’s influencing the ongoing changes. The interconnection between the socio-cultural practices of university professors and lecturers and the results of social disciplines transformations is revealed. It is noted that the initial plans of the authorities were largely adjusted, largely under the influence of the higher-education teaching personnel. In general, the article defines the significance of socio-cultural practices of the university intelligentsia for the emerging Soviet educational system.

Hybrid Solar Energy System as Alternative Power Supply in Mindanao State University-Sulu: Impact on Quality Services

To ascertain the hybrid solar energy system as alternative power supply in Mindanao State University-Sulu and its impact to quality service, This study aims to investigate the extent of benefits of hybrid solar power in terms of a) cost, b) availability, and c.)sustainability, moreover, it also investigate its preferability of hybrid solar power over traditional electricity, while it identifies the significant impact of Hybrid Solar power as a source of power supply to the quality of service of MSU-Sulu Administration, significant correlation between the preferability level and the impact of Hybrid Solar power. The quantitative data was analysed and interpreted using statistical tools weighted arithmetic mean and correlation and for qualitative data which is the interview, thematic analysis was utilized. The researcher was able to analyzed the gathered data through Mix Method for the preferability of hybrid solar power over traditional electricity and hybrid solar power its impact to quality service were obtained. The respondents of this study were the forty eight (48) teaching personnel and thirty eight (38) non-teaching personnel and an expert on solar panels. Purposive and random Sampling was used in the selection of the respondents. The instruments of the study were Guided Interview Questions and survey questionnaire. The qualitative data were obtained from the interview by the expert on solar panels. The quantitative data checklist questionnaire were obtained personally by the researcher and validated by three (3) Experts. The study revealed that the use of hybrid solar energy system as an alternative power supply has an impact to the quality service of Mindanao State University-Sulu, thus, both teaching and non-teaching personnel preferred the use of Hybrid solar energy system over traditional electricity. The extent of benefits of hybrid solar power in term costs is feasible for the costs of its installation will be treated as an investment for its 5 or more years of use of its naturally free electric power supply. In the long run, the Hybrid Solar energy will ensure a return of investment in its electric consumption. In terms of availability, it is guaranteed available by the partner company and in terms of its sustainability, it can support the entire university for 5 year’s or more with quality solar equipment that it turns, the university will be able to provide quality service to its clientele. Hence, the following are the recommendations of the study. on research agenda, the school administrator should consider this study as beneficial to the school, the adaption of the Hybrid Solar Energy power to the electric supply of the Mindanao State University-Sulu, Quality service entails the need of uninterrupted power supply and this hybrid solar energy power is the solution, and Quality service rendered by both teaching and non-teaching personnel would be maximized with the help of this hybrid power energy system. On this note, the following are the recommended policy: School administrator must look into ways on the adaptation of the hybrid power energy system into the university, Rigorous planning and careful assessment on the applicability of hybrid solar energy power on each college as well as administrative offices, pioneered application among key services provider of the university like registrar and cashier’s office, gradual use of hybrid Solar Energy power among colleges, mainly on the enrolment process to the releasing of grades, and School administrator should conduct a seminar to its constituents on the cognizance on the benefits of using solar power and raising an awareness on how to conserve Energy and use it in a proper way.
