Assessment of global trends impact on development of higher education system

The article deals with research of global regularities in the global system of higher education. The interrelation of information, Internet and educational environments, branding and marketing are investigated as a qualitative basis for sustainable development of universities. The government strategies stimulating development of international experience for students are explored and analyzed. This experience resulted in mass opening of international branch campuses and popularity of educational centers (“education hubs”). World tendencies in the field of human capital development in the sphere of higher education are revealed. Special attention is given to development of international institutional and industrial partnership. At present, the challenges facing the modern system of higher education in Russia are related to the need to ensure its competitiveness in the international arena and create centers for the innovative development within the Russian Federation. In the sphere of higher education of Russia, a number of priority projects of the higher education system can be identified, which were approved at the end of 2016: “Universities as Centers of Innovation Development”; the project of “Modern Digital Educational Environment” and the model of the export potential development of the “Russian education system”, which increases the attractiveness and competitiveness of the international educational services market in order to increase the volume of revenues from the export of educational services.

Bottleneck of China’s Higher Education Development from the Differences between Chinese and American Higher Education System

The construction of an efficient and long-term higher education system is an important prerequisite and guarantee for the development of higher education in a country, which is conducive to laying a good intellectual foundation for the enhancement of national strength. However, in the face of the shortcomings of the construction of China’s higher education system, most of the researches are limited to theoretical researches and many researches are one-sided with self-styled thinking, which lack open and inclusive ideas and practical proof to theory. In order to further analyze the bottleneck of China’s higher education development, on the basis of analyzing the characteristics of Chinese and American higher education system, this paper analyzes the difference between Chinese and American higher education system by the method of comparative research and literature research, and adopts the multi-level fuzzy hierarchy comprehensive evaluation method to deal with the relevant data of Chinese and American higher education system. Then, it discusses and contrasts the macro-control function of the American government and the direct control function of the Chinese government, and then puts forward the aspects that China’s higher education system should improve on the basis of fully considering China’s national conditions. It also proposes that while enhancing the independence of educational evaluation, we should improve the Chinese law, change the government functions, and pay attention to the construction of higher education system theory research to build a pluralistic higher education system. Compared with other researches on the China’s higher education development, this paper draws on the advantages of the American higher education system and puts forward the countermeasures and suggestions which are more suitable for the development of higher education system in China.

STRATEGI PENGEMBANGAN PENDIDIKAN MULTIKULTURAL DI INDONESIA

Multicultural education needs to be nurtured both in formal and non-formal education because of Indonesia's cultural potential, tradition, and geographical environment, and demographics is remarkable. Education has a major role to play in promoting multicultural understanding. The cultivation of such understanding should be carried out as early as possible, so that it will continue to be constructed in the cognition of the child's sense of ownership and pride of the nation's culture until he grows up so that a democratic and egalitarian attitude will emerge to accept cultural diversity. To achieve that, the strategy of multicultural education development is needed. Multicultural education development strategies that can be undertaken, ie curriculum development, professional quality improvement of educational staff, development of education management systems, development of higher education system, equality of community perception, inculcation of recognition and appreciation of diversity (culture or culture, ethnicity, race, Religion, worldview and so on), avoiding views that assume that one group is superior to the other, and fosters and accustoms to a dialogical attitude.

Higher Education Development in India and China: South Asian, Sinic, and Pan-Asian alternatives

This study investigates the development of higher education in India and China over three time periods: that of colonial India and semi-colonial China, that of the Cold War during which India was “non-aligned” and “new China” embraced Communism, and the period after India’s neoliberal economic reforms and China’s “reform and opening-up”. Our study focuses on the second period when the rationales for post-independent higher education policies were intimately connected to sovereignty. A historical cross-comparative analysis is being employed to discern similarities and differences between India’s and China’s development of higher education systems. The purpose of our study is to contextualize the sociopolitical philosophies that guided the development and transformation of higher education systems in India and China with reference to their vision as non-Western civilizations. We utilize this historical analysis to discuss whether India and China will remain peripheral in the global system of knowledge production, or provide distinct South Asian, Sino, and/or Pan-Asian alternatives in the future.

COMPARATIVE COMPETITIVENESS OF RUSSIAN FLAGSHIP UNIVERSITIES

The article is prepared based on materials of the research on competitiveness of Russian universities with different status: 5-100 Project participants, federal universities, national research universities, classical universities of Privolzhsk Federal Area, pillar universities of the first and the second wave. At present state of development of higher education system of Russia there is already practical experience of upgrading efficacy which is important for involving potential for modernization of regional pillar universities activities in the process of effective regional development. The aim of this research article is to evaluate competitiveness of different groups of pillar universities of the first and second waves on the basis of benchmarking analysis using the data of National university efficacy monitoring - 2017 conducted by Interfax group. The results of the research allowed for identifying problem areas decreasing competitiveness of pillar universities at the national higher education market. According to the results of research it was defined that after the first year of the pillar universities development program implementation we witness lower average scores of overall and individual ratings formed within the National university rating. Correlation analysis results demonstrated that first year results of first wave pillar university development program show strengthening of modernization activities effect on the position of universities in the National university rating and their competitiveness. Conducted research demonstrates insufficient competitiveness of second wave pillar universities group in comparison with other university groups. Research conducted by the author does not claim the full representation of all potential pillar universities of Russia as it covers only winners of competitions for becoming pillar universities in 2015 and 2017. At the same time it allows for formulating main directions for improving competitiveness of pillar universities. Novelty and originality of the article is as follows: a) task -setting; improving university competitiveness management mechanisms based on external management reserves, including regional ones, b) suggested approach to solving it on the basis of generalizing best practices of interaction between regional innovation system actors, including pillar universities; c) suggested conceptual model of modernizing pillar universities main activities directions in the context of upgrading their efficacy. Practical importance of the research is defined by the fact that pillar universities managers obtain mechanisms for evaluating and upgrading competitiveness which should be supported by harmonization with mechanisms of region’s competitiveness comparative evaluation (with the aim of upgrading efficacy of university strategic projects management, modernization of educational activities on the basis of implementing project - oriented study, modernization of educational, research and innovation activities using the potential of private - state partnership), introducing mechanisms of value - oriented approach (for upgrading efficacy of university and region human capital involvement), development of mechanisms of interaction with regional innovation system actors (with the aim of maximal use of regional innovation and economic systems potential). The article is an attempt to evaluate competitiveness of national pillar universities and define the ways of improving it. It can be of interest to higher education system researchers in the context of improving approaches to university management.

Mobility, formation and development of the academic profession in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in East and South East Asia

ABSTRACTThe academic profession contributes to shaping the capacity and identity of higher education systems. In East and Southeast Asia, there is a need for further discussion on the regional identity characteristics of the academic profession to account for its multiple origins and national and international dimensions. Data from two large-scale comparative surveys and secondary sources are used to investigate the role of international mobility in the formation and development of East and Southeast Asian academics in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. Based on Kim and Locke's [2010. “Transnational Academic Mobility and the Academic Profession.” In Higher Education and Society: A Research Report. London: CHERI, Open University] framework, patterns of academic mobility are examined in relation to the formation and development of higher education systems. The analysis shows mixed trends in the international flow of academics and the formation of the region's academic profession in relation to more or less independent or colonial historical backgrounds. Recent globalisation and regionalisation initiatives seem likely to transform the heterogeneous identities of the region's academic profession.

The paper specifies a course of higher education system development, which is especially favorable for bringing up learners as free, creative and intellectually-
 enriched individuals. The mission of conditioning and enhancing the said qualities in the vocational-education space of higher educational
 institutions assumes that subject position of each learner should be developed. Personal subject position implies ability to set up and then meet certain
 objectives (tasks).
 To develop a learner�s personality as that of a subject the authors suggest the following steps: to comprehend the problem; to formulate a hypothesis;
 to draw out an algorithm to resolve the hypothesis; to implement the elaborated algorithm in a step-by-step fashion, while keeping the minutes of
 observations and acknowledging research findings; hypothesis testing. Pedagogic conditions, favorable to nurturing higher institution learners� subject
 position are described.
 Educational practice case studies are presented, to demonstrate pedagogical techniques of conditioning students� subject position. Outcomes of experimental
 program, where students tried to master techniques and procedures of research activities, meant to enhance their creative potential (and
 their subject position as well), are examined. Special characteristics are suggested for monitoring dynamics of development higher-institution students�
 subject position.

Best Practice of Benchmarking of World’s Top Universities: Lessons for Higher Educational Institutions of Uzbekistan

The significance of the higher education can be seen in terms of assisting the economy with skillful specialists who are considered to be the key force for the development of the country. Higher education is considered to be crucial in modern market-based economies. Particularly, the higher education enables the development and maintenance of the knowledge acquired by the youth. Higher education contributes to the development of the human capital, which can later act as crucial aspect of growth. This paper takes a broad perspective on the importance of higher education, precisely to the structure of Master’s degree programs, in many developed countries of the world including USA, UK and Germany. The paper uses the benchmarking method in order to analyze and apply practices of higher education systems in Uzbekistan. It is important to note that current state of higher education institutions in Uzbekistan reflects the practice of former Soviet Union institutions and needs to adopt strategies that are followed by world’s top universities. The main purpose of this paper is to critically examine the practices and evaluating the higher education system of these countries. The outcomes of the analysis are used to offer a framework for the development of higher education systems precisely in the context of masters programs, in Uzbekistan.

Opening-Up Higher Education in Emerging Economies: Autonomy and Integrity on the Rise of Globalization

Missing Workforce: Some Personality Correlates of Absenteeism

The present study aims to find out the absenteeism rate of male and female employees and the personality traits (neuroticism and extraversion) and job satisfaction of low (10 males and 10 females) and high (10 males and 10 females) absentees. The absenteeism rate of male (N=20) and female (N=20) employees was obtained from attendance record of immediate past year. Results indicated a significant difference on neuroticism, extraversion and job satisfaction of low and high absentees. The mean score showed that high absentees have low level of job satisfaction as compared to those of low absentees. Low absentees were low on neuroticism and extraversion as compared to high absentees.Qualitative inquiry revealed the role of socio-psychological and cultural factors in the process of absenteeism. Exploration of causes of absenteeism has implications for training and development in higher education system.

Spellings Commission Report on Affordability and Access to Higher Education: Changing Demographics, Economic Crisis and Investment in Human Capital

The paper discusses report of The Spellings Commission for Future of Higher Education that was set up to look into the issues facing the higher education system in the U.S., outline the challenges and offer recommendations to tackle the problems. Most importantly, The Spellings Commission Report raised the issue of the role of federal government in the development of higher education system. The paper focuses on one of the issues raised by the Spellings Commission, access to higher education. The paper suggests that today access still remains an issue for higher education in the U.S. Adjusting to changing demographic trends, increased ethnic diversity and increased enrollments with limited federal resources and complicated federal aid system is still a challenge of the future. The question that remains to be answered is: ‘Will the federal government sustain its traditional commitment to equalizing opportunities for higher education?’

Algumas características das políticas de acreditação e avaliação da educação superior da Colômbia: interfaces com o Brasil

Apresentamos, neste artigo, algumas características das políticas de acreditação e de avaliação da educação superior da Colômbia e as suas interfaces com o Brasil. Nosso intuito geral é o de contribuir para o debate referente à reflexão sobre o papel dessas políticas no desenvolvimento dos sistemas de educação superior na região. Especificamente, nos propomos a levantar, comparando com a realidade brasileira, alguns pontos relevantes da Colômbia em relação às múltiplas complexidades nas quais estão inscritos, na atualidade, os temas da acreditação e da avaliação. De modo geral, segundo os estudos parcialmente construídos aqui, os mecanismos de acreditação e avaliação estão na lista de prioridades da agenda governamental e acadêmica tanto na Colômbia quanto no Brasil. Nesse quadro, eles representam o esforço de cooperação internacional na região, porém com dupla finalidade e não isento de contradições: de um lado, para defender os interesses nacionais, dando ênfase na educação superior como bem público sujeito às ações e estratégias do Estado e não do mercado e, de outro, para ampliar a mobilidade estudantil e docente num quadro crescente de mudanças sociais, econômicas e culturais, garantindo e assegurando a qualidade da formação educacional e científica das pessoas.

Reforming higher education systems: Some lessons to guide policy implementation

Although higher education systems are in a constant state of change, they are difficult for governments to reform. This paper analyzes a wide variety of country experiences in establishing mechanisms to co-ordinate the development of higher education systems, diversifying institutional financing and increasing the efficiency of public investments. Attention is drawn to the need for effective policy structures to manage higher education, to link costs of reforms to benefits such as increased opportunity, to take account of the institutional constraints to change as well as to carefully articulate educational reforms with other public policies that influence the performance of the higher education systems.

Subordinating Democracy: The effects of fiscal retrenchment and university-business partnerships on knowledge creation and knowledge dissemination in universities

In public policy discussions in modem, developed societies, "knowledge," "economic development," and "democracy" are often juxtaposed as though the relationships among and between them are unproblematic, non-conflictual and mutually supportive. Yet the nature of these relationships has been the subject of critical examination and heated debate for some time.' Does "economic development" necessarily go hand in hand with "democratic life?" More to the point, what versions of "economic development" and "democratic life" are being referenced? Or to put it another way, are all specific projects to advance "economic development" compatible with particular versions of "democratic life?" Equally important, what is the precise relationship between "knowledge," on the one hand, and either economic development or democratic life on the other? In the language of statistical correlation, for example, are the relationships between knowledge and economic development, and knowledge and democratic life, positively correlated does the growth of knowledge lead to increased measurements of both economic development and democratic life? Does more of one necessarily lead to more of the others? I do not intend to engage in the debates about, nor resolve, all of these questions in this paper. Rather, I intend only to explore a current, concrete instance which illustrates the potentially contradictory and conflictual character of the relationships between knowledge, economic development and democratic life. My purpose in reasserting at the beginning the problematic character of these relationships, is to challenge the taken-for-granted version of these relationships that is embedded in public policy discourses that are currently guiding the development of higher education systems in many economically advanced societies of the West. It is especially important to note that the concrete instance I will explore does not involve "developing" or "third world" societies, in which the articulation between knowledge, economic development and democratic life could be considered incomplete if at all underway. Instead, it involves events taking place in the so-
