ASSESSMENT OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM AVAILABILITY IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION FOR THE TRANSITION TO EDUCATION 2.0

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to highlight and detail the issue of the availability of the higher education system in the Russian Federation for the transition to the new concept of Education 2.0. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: descriptive methods, statistical methods, economic and mathematical methods, as well as methods of group expert assessment. As a result of the work done, the average level of availability of the higher education system in the Russian Federation for the transition to the new concept of Education 2.0 for a certain date was determined with high accuracy, and its constituent elements were also detailed within the middle levels for key projections: information, technological, legal, social, and economic. As a result, it was concluded that the entire system of higher education in the Russian Federation is not sufficiently prepared in the near term for the analyzed transition. As a recommendation in the area under consideration, it was suggested that it is advisable to implement the Education 2.0 concept locally in higher educational institutions in the Russian Federation with a high relative level of project funding (for example, in extended education programs, in retraining senior management personnel, as well as in the framework of specialized MBA and DBA programs). The novelty of the work done by the authors is determined by the projection structuring of the analyzed problem within five interconnected fields, as well as the obtaining of quantitative results with a high level of objectivity in the presentation of quantitative and qualitative results achieved including through the use of a complex of logically and analytically processed opinions of qualified experts.
