IMPACT OF ACADEMIC MOBILITY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL TOURISM: POLITICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS

The national development strategy of Kazakhstan in higher education is aimed at the internationalization of higher education and entry into the global educational space. In this regard, the academic mobility of students and academic staff is widely supported by the state and higher education institutions. This article analyses the impact of academic mobility on local tourism. The analysis of the main strategic documents and the current legislation in the field of tourism and higher education was carried out. Also, the basis of the research work was the reports of international organizations and non-governmental organizations in the field of tourism and higher education, special reports of experts, and the results of the research work of scientists. As a result of the study, it was shown that the development of local tourism is supported by the state and legal opportunities are created. It has been established that the approval of special economic zones in priority areas proposed by the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan is an opportunity for the development of local tourism by strengthening academic mobility in certain regions of the country. It was assumed that the creation of international campuses in some regions of the country would play an important role in the development of tourism. As a result, proposals were made to develop tourist and historical monuments, and nature reserves in the regions of Kazakhstan, and improve the economy of the regions and the socio-educational and cultural status of the population. Based on these findings, it is shown that the main strategy and legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of tourism and higher education are formed correctly. However, it shows that active actions are required on the part of the executive authorities and higher education institutions in the implementation of legislation and state policy. In addition, it is expected that the results of this work will serve as a basis for researchers who conduct research on this topic.

Educational trends in the conditions of the russian-Ukrainian war and current geopolitical challenges

The article is devoted to the issue of educational trends in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the modern geopolitical challenges Ukraine and Ukrainian educators face. The state of quarantine restrictions due to the incidence of Covid-19 caused an active transition of most spheres of activity, including education, communication of educational process to the mixed form with the help of digital technologies. In particular, they became assistants to educators at various levels: from secondary school to institutions of higher education. The adaptation was successful with some shortcomings, which can be solved at the individual level of communication between teachers and students of different levels. Such educational trends as digitalization of the educational process, continuous learning, strengthening of social inclusion, academic integrity, combination of education with science, project-based learning, academic mobility of students and teaching staff, media literacy, psychological support of students in the educational process, recognition of the results of non-formal and informal of education within the educational process, visualization, gamification, interactivity of education, soft-skills: development of social and emotional intelligence,critical thinking, ability to quickly adapt to new conditions, etc. helped all participants of the educational process in Ukraine to boldly adapt to the unusual conditions of long-term quarantine and continue their work even in war conditions. Owing to the financial and material assistance of other countries, it is planned to rebuild destroyed educational institutions and infrastructure according to new standards, develop a new network of educational institutions, and develop in science and technology. The active implementation of educational trends at ZhytomyrIvan Franko State University allows the institution to develop educational directions even in conditions of geopolitical challenges and war.

Difficulties in the Implementation of International Academic Mobility Programs: Student’s Stance. Russian-German Experience in Solving Problems in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Introduction. Academic mobility of students is an integral part of quality higher education in Russia. A frequent problem is a difficult adaption to a foreign country. The article looks into to the problem of offsetting negative consequences of cultural adaptation of Russian students in German universities during short-term stay. The aim of the article is to work out recommendations on preliminary preparation of short-term international academic mobility programs between Russian and foreign partner universities, taking into account cultural adaptation of students. Materials and Methods. The research draws on surveys of students participating in the 6-month (1 semester) international Russian-German academic mobility program. As a survey technique, a group continuous correspondence survey was employed. The questionnaire was compiled following the conditions of relevance and representativeness using empirical indicators and descriptive statistics. The method of statistical factor analysis served a tool to identify the main factors influencing the quality of adaptation; for a comparative analysis of the results of the survey, statistical methods of comparing averages and statistical visualization were used. Results. The article analyzes the results of surveys of students of the German-Russian Institute of Advanced Technologies about the main points of education in Germany that cause them difficulties. A comparative analysis of learning in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic (hybrid, almost completely remote learning) with the period before the pandemic (full face-to-face learning) was made. Conclusions are drawn about the prevailing factors that influenced the success of learning in both cases. Examples of practical recommendations are formulated as to the necessary preparation of Russian university students for studying at European universities in the years following the pandemic, taking into account the results of surveys of teachers from the host German university, as well as the observations of an expert from the Kazan National Research Technical University over the teaching process at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. Based on the results of the analysis of factors most affecting the success of Russian students in a foreign university, we propose measures aimed at accelerating and mitigating the adaptation of Russian-speaking students to a long stay in a foreign environment. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the hybrid form of education looks most effective, as it increases the success of Russian students studying abroad. Discussion and Conclusion. The proposed approach to the assessment of influencing factors and the developed methods for their elimination will help prevent similar problems in the future. The conclusions made by the authors contribute to the practice of short-stay international academic mobility organization. The article materials are of interest to the scientific and pedagogical community, faculty and management of educational institutions.

EXPERIENCE IN THE BRUNCH OF INTERNATIONALIZATION OF HIGHER PHARMACEUTICAL EDUCATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF PHARMACOGNOSY AND MEDICAL BOTANY DEPARTMENT OF I. HORBACHEVSKY TERNOPIL NATIONAL MEDICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract. Internationalization of higher education is one of the key factors of efficiency and competitiveness of a higher educational institution. The main forms of international cooperation through which the process of internationalization of education takes place are institutional partnership, integration of educational standards into curricula, mobility of educational programs, professional mobility of teachers and academic mobility of students.
 
 Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University Ministry of Health of Ukraine is making a lot of efforts on the way to internationalization and setting a number of strategic tasks.

They publish the results of their scientific research and development in rated international publications. These artic­les are indexed in various scientometric databases, including Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, Index Copernicus and others. Foreign students study at the department and are trained to work abroad as highly qualified specialists. Employees of the department organize All-Ukrainian scientific and practical conferences with international participation “Chemistry of natural compounds”. They also participated in the 18th Hellenic Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry (Greece) and the international conference “Contemporary Pharmacy: Issues Challenges and Expectations 2022”. Every year the department revises and modernizes educational programs and tasks, adding to them the information that was “gathered” in the framework of the exchange of experience with colleagues from other countries of the world. The result of this is the training of highly qualified, competitive specialists.
 Thus, the internationalization of higher medical education is an important issue of the integration of Ukrainian higher education institutions into the world educational and scientific environment.

Student Academic Mobility and its Impact on Personal Development: The Experience of Finnish Universities

The article presents an analysis of the main aspects of student academic mobility in Finnish universities and accents on its impact on the personal development of students. It is based on the theoretical analysis and systematization of literary sources, as well as empirical data of a survey of Finnish students who studies at the University of Turku and the University of Jyvaskyla. The article considers that Finland is a country of well-known achievements in education and its experience can be useful for the future of higher education in Ukraine in its current extremely difficult time. The article reveals that academic mobility of students as one of the most important among the program strategies of internationalization of higher education is an opportunity to bring new ideas, experiences and resources that can improve the quality of research and teaching, and promote innovation and cultural understanding for educational institutions, as well as to develop scientific potential, gain international experience and develop professionally for students, teachers, and researchers. It is shown that international academic mobility significantly increased over the past decade. The article discusses that Finnish universities have a developed network of partner institutions around the world, which provides students with opportunities to exchange experiences and gain new knowledge. The article presents the detailed results of an empirical study, namely a survey of Finnish students studied at the University of Turku and the University of Jyvaskyla, who have personal experience of participating in student academic mobility programs, which relate to countries where students carried out their academic mobility, advantages of student academic mobility, the impact of academic mobility on the career of students, possibility of their independent research, and other aspects firsthand.

Академическая мобильность студентов: ценности, установки и социальные практики на Юге России

Relevance: Academic mobility, as a special type of movement for the purpose of ed-ucational and scientific practices, is one of the mechanisms of self-regulation of the learning process of Russian students. In the South of Russia, expanding the prospects for intra-university and intra-Russian academic mobility contributes to improving the quality of education, creating a unified intellectual environment and promoting tour-ism practices. Scientific problem: A critical analysis of the scientific literature has shown that the scientific literature has not yet considered how the prevailing ideas about education and values affect students' attitudes to academic mobility. The pur-pose of this study was to identify the features of attitudes and social practices of ac-ademic mobility of Russian students, limited by formal external barriers existing in universities in the South of Russia. Methods: The theory of mental programs is used to study the concepts of education as a value, attitudes and social practices of aca-demic mobility. The analysis is based on the study of significant relationships of vari-ables through the Chi-square criterion. Research results: Attitudes to intra-university mobility are highest among students with pragmatic views, although, in general, ideas about education have little effect on intra-university mobility. Students with con-servative ideas show a great attitude to the practices of intra-Russian mobility, see them as an educational value. While students with liberal and pragmatic views believe that this may interfere with their studies at their native university or they are not in-terested in it. Most students have an attitude to international mobility, but do not have the financial opportunity for it. The number of implemented social practices is largely due to external factors, that is, the opportunities that exist in the universities of the Rostov region and the Republic of Crimea, as well as the state of academic mobility in Russian higher education in general. Conclusions: Academic mobility of students in Russia is of particular importance for improving the quality of higher edu-cation in the country. The student youth in the South of Russia, showing a high de-gree of self-regulation, demonstrates high attitudes to all types of academic mobility. However, the nature of attitudes is largely determined by the conservative and liberal ideas of students that have developed in the process of social programming.

The experience of teaching public administration in Russia during the pandemic in 2020–2021

The main aim of the study was to analyze the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic both on the public services and on public administration (PA) education, to find out how the process of teaching of future public administrators had changed during the Pandemic and how these changes could possibly influence the process of teaching public administrators in future. The research methods included theoretical and analytical research methods, the methodology of empirical research, and comparative research methods. The latest works of PA scholars in the global context, the materials of the study provided by the teams of teachers of the leading Russian universities concerning teaching experience during 2020, and the latest data provided from the analysis carried out at the Institute for Social Sciences of Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Moscow, in the conditions of distant and mixed learning in 2020–2021, allowed the author to give some practical advice to teachers and education managers concerning the improvement of the educational programs for PA students regarding the new conditions of the study. The main conclusion made on the results of the analysis is that digitalization of teaching and learning process and organization of distant learning at the time of the Covid-19 Pandemic should be considered to be the most important issues in PA education which could be applied in PA education in future. The recommendations concerned such aspects as the development of digital competencies of students, distant regime implementation, new pedagogy and digital didactics, socialization of students, internationalization and academic mobility of students, improving the qualifications of teachers and university management teams, research work, and the development of meta-competencies of future public servants.

Психологическое сопровождение академической мобильности студентов в условиях высшей школы

We consider the expediency of implementing psychological and pedagogical support for academic mobility among students of a modern university on the basis of theoretical and methodological analysis. We present the main characteristics of academic mobility, as well as personality qualities influenced by academic mobility. Psychological support is a purposeful and organized process that allows students to develop adaptive capabilities, forming their academic mobility, interethnic tolerance, flexibility of thinking. Development of academic mobility of students affects the optimization of interethnic relations among young people. Developed program of socio-psychological training is an integral part of the training of university teachers to provide psychological support for the academic mobility among students. The effectiveness of this psychological support is confirmed by the positive dynamics of the results of an empirical study. The reliability of the data obtained is proved by retest diagnostics and the results of factor analysis. The data obtained confirm the effectiveness of the proposed program of psychological support of academic mobility of students in the conditions of a modern university, although this problem requires more in-depth study and further work.

Educational emigration of Iranian and Tajik students to Russia: a comparative analysis

Academic mobility of students is a complex phenomenon that plays an important role in the process of socio-economic and cultural development of receiving and sending countries. With the beginning of the globalization process, the movement of scientists, professors, students, etc. has become easier, faster, and more convenient, which has prompted universities and research institutions to attract students from abroad. Russia, like many other countries, has created the project «Development of the export potential of the Russian education system». However, there are different internal and external factors affecting the export process of Russian educational services. The purpose of this study is to compare the motives of foreign students from Iran and Tajikistan who chose Russia as a destination country to continue their education. This study uses a qualitative approach using open, semi-structured interviews with international students from Iran and Tajikistan. In total, 33 students from four cities and 6 different universities in Russia were interviewed with 21 men and 12 women aged 20 to 31 years old. The results of this study show that Iranian and Tajik students have much in common in terms of language, culture, values, and traditions but differ in their motives and decision-making process.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND CONTENT ASPECTS OF STUDENT ACADEMIC MOBILITY IN THE USA

The integration processes, taking place in modern society, impact the system of higher education. The united world educational environment is being formed, demonstrating the coordination of educational standards, programmes, approaches to the training of future specialists in higher educational institutions of various countries. The integration of the system of Ukrainian higher education into the world educational environment determines the growth of academic mobility of students, for which the USA higher education is famous about. The aim of the article is to study the organizational and aontent aspects of academic mobility of students in the USA higher education. Research methods applied: analysis and synthesis of psychological and pedagogical literature; study of experience of particular American universities in the context of academic mobility, systematization, and generalization. Internationalization has been defined as one of the most important principles of academic mobility organization in the USA. Internationalization is a process in which the goals, functions and organization of educational services acquire an international dimension. This process involves the integration of national education systems, defining and development of general and universal concepts and components of their functioning, i.e. those principles that form the basis of diversity of national cultures, contribute to their mutual enrichment and provide systemic changes in higher education. Academic mobility is a form of organization of the educational process (in particular, by distance learning means), which provides the opportunity to study, teach, train or carry out research in another educational institution, even abroad, resulting in self-realization in learning and professional activities. The temporary study in other institutions of higher education is a characteristic feature of academic mobility of students. The main goals of academic mobility of students in the USA are the acquisition of professional and intercultural competencies, cultural experience of the host country through training in academic mobility programmes, in summer and evening language schools, project implementation, and research.

Peculiarities of the nostrification of higher education diplomas

This article examines the problems of nostrification of foreign diplomas in Ukraine and the recognition of educational programmes, taken by graduates of foreign universities. Ukraine today is a wide market of professions, where our citizens with foreign diplomas and foreigners, who were educated at home, find jobs. The state is also guided by the educational process, which takes place in European countries and has its own characteristics and traditions. Work on universalization of education should have a positive impact on faster and better implementation of programmes of exchange of scientific and pedagogical experience between countries, academic mobility of students, postgraduates, teachers, etc. The article also mentions the traditional exchange of students and professors, the exchange of scientific achievements between universities in different countries, building mutually beneficial partnerships, which is why Ukrainian universities have to focus on the European labour market.
 The article also discusses the peculiarities of the document flow for nostrification of diplomas, lists the main documents and reveals the problems, associated with their processing. The research problem has an interdisciplinary status, because it raises problems of documentation work, recognition of diplomas and problems, faced by graduates of foreign universities

Личностные индикаторы академической мобильности студентов с инвалидностью в контексте профессиональной подготовки

The openness of a modern university ensures that students from heterogeneous groups are included in education. Academic mobility is a significant trend in the global educational space. The success of the education of students with disabilities is determined by their personal readiness to be active and academically mobile. The authors note a tendency towards the implementation of academic mobility in the process of professional training mainly through the creation of external conditions. At the same time, insufficient attention is paid to the analysis of mobility as a personal education, which determines the weak provision of the mechanisms of its formation, especially among students with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the personal indicators of academic mobility of students with disabilities based on respondents' portfolios containing information about the facts of academic mobility in the experience of students, a survey about the perceptions and motivation of respondents to implement academic mobility, the Tomsk Rigidity Questionnaire G.V. Zalevsky. The results obtained indicate the low activity of students in educational, scientific activities that go beyond the educational program. At the same time, more than half of the respondents are ready for academic mobility. Comparative analysis of the studied components in the samples of students with health standards and with disabilities showed: lack of expression of rigidity in students with disabilities; correlations between the characteristics of rigidity and disability features; the severity of the components of personal readiness for academic mobility among students with disabilities. The presented results are unique and prove the importance of inclusive transformation of the educational space of universities to ensure the possibility of learning and academic mobility of students of heterogeneous groups.

Pedagogical support of future teacher for academic mobility at the university

Professional training of future teachers in the twenty-first century is impossible without taking into account its global context. For professional success in a rapidly changing world, new personality traits are required: mobility, flexibility, adaptability, tolerance. In this regard, the internationalization of pedagogical education and the teaching profession is becoming a global trend today.The purpose of this article is to analyze the current situation of academic mobility in the Republic of Kazakhstan, identify barriers that hinder the development of academic mobility of students, experimentally test the effectiveness of the orientation course on academic mobility for students. In order to provide pedagogical support and develop motivation for academic mobility of students at the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, we have developed and implemented an orientation course for 2nd year undergraduate students «Student Mobility: Opportunities and Prospects» in the first semester of 2020, which prepared and acquainted future teachers with the possibilities of international academic mobility programs and the features of credit technology of education. According to the results of the introductory course of the second year bachelor’s degree, changes were noted in the motivational component of readiness for academic mobility of students in the experimental group. In conclusion, we noted that to provide pedagogical support of future teacher for academic mobility at the university , it is necessary to use various kinds of programmes in the educational process in order to increase readiness of students for academic mobility. It is also necessary to carry out systematic pedagogical support of students for academic mobility, to involve tutors, advisers, teachers, coordinators of the international department to eliminate linguistic, organizational, informational, resource, normative, meaningful barriers to academic mobility of future teachers.

Regional determinants of the environment of educational emigration of the population of the Carpathian region

The problem aspects of the environment of educational emigration in the oblasts of the Carpathian region are determined and the directions for their regulation are substantiated. The problem aspects of the environment of educational emigration are outlined across the main determinants (defining factors): educational migration capacity; academic environment quality; educational migration motivation; cooperation between universities and industries in the research; institutional conditions in education. The paper suggests the calculation of the Regional Index of Forming the Educational Migration Environment (RIFEME) to evaluate and analyze the environment of educational migration that pushes the young students abroad. It is calculated across 28 parameters by the data for 2017-2018. The selected parameters characterize various conditions of forming the educational migration environment: educational, educational–scientific, informational, socio-economic, political, socio-demographic, innovative, institutional. An aggregate estimation of determinants (integral index) shows the place of the oblasts of the Carpathian region by the condition of forming the educational migration environment. Systemic RIFEME calculation (calculations are performed for 2017-2018) forms the information base for monitoring the environment of the population’s migration activity and condition of educational services market based on academic mobility of students, teachers, and researchers and their cross-border mobility, for detecting the problems of the educational emigration environment, and for determining the ways to regulate it. Main directions to regulate the environment of educational migration in social, scientific-technological, economic, educational, and informational public policies are substantiated. The suggested tools and measures of regulation of the educational migration environment aim to reduce the paces of educational emigration and prevent possible losses of resources capacity and human capital of domestic higher educational institutions and scientific schools.

Модернизация системы профессиональной подготовки будущих врачей во Франции: образовательные траектории

The integration processes associated with Russia's joining the Bologna process have influenced the system of Russian higher education, in general, and medical education in particular. The process of integrating Russian medical universities into the international educational space requires taking into account many factors and conditions aimed to improve the quality of training of future doctors. Currently, the solution to this problem is associated with the internationalization of higher education, a component of which is the academic mobility of students. Much has already been done in this area in Russian higher education, but to maintain this high level, it is necessary to look for new ways of development. To a certain extent, this can be done by studying the experience of training medical students in France, since in the process of its development the French system of training medical students has already solved the problems facing Russian education today. In this regard, there is a need to study the practice of professional training of future medical professionals in France and evaluate it. The article analyzes the system of professional training of future healthcare professionals in France, which has undergone fundamental changes over the past half century.
