Psychological and pedagogical understanding of the reform and development of higher education

Abstract

Introduction. The article substantiates the idea of a psychological and pedagogical understanding of the reform and development of higher education, and departure from the Bologna Process. The international project «Fundamental University Education» put forward by Russia is revealed.Purpose setting. Understanding the logic and methodology of education as a social institution that performs the function of including an individual in the culture of a given society and introducing him to it, allows us to comprehend and get closer to understanding training and education as a process of transforming external knowledge into internal, spiritual, forming and shaping a person.Methods and methodology of the study. In accordance with the objectives of the study, the following general scientific methods were used: theoretical analysis of the literature, longitudinal and cross-sectional experimental research, verification, modeling, and qualitative analysis of the reforming.Results. In Russia the educational space is formed under the influence of processes associated with the development of information transformations in all spheres of life. Therefore, informatization becomes one of the factors causing significant changes in social institutions, in particular in the educational system. In the framework of higher education in personnel training, priority should be given to the creation of the foundation of the system and structure of education, the priority of which is methodologically important long-lived and invariant knowledge that contributes to a holistic perception of the scientific picture of the world, the intellectual flourishing of the individual and its adaptation to rapidly changing conditions.Conclusion. In the development of the Russian society, the strategy of civilizational development is changing, there is a search for new values. We believed and continue to believe that it is inappropriate to abandon the Russian levels of training of professional personnel. The absence of the most important stage, the training of specialists, has caused significant harm to our youth in finding employment, because graduates of bachelor’s and master’s degree do not have a specialty, but only higher education in a certain area, which does not make it possible to professionally perform work. The departure from the Bologna System will allow us to return to the best Russian traditions aimed at the development of all levels of education.
