УНІВЕРСИТЕТСЬКА ОСВІТА В ІСТОРІОГРАФІЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ПЕДАГОГІЧНОЇ КОМПАРАТИВІСТИКИ: КРАЇНОЗНАВЧИЙ ВЕКТОР

The article deals with the analysis of the country studies vector of Ukrainian comparative studies on the development of higher and university education in order to identify the achievements, bottlenecks and prospects for the formation of historiography of this problem. It has been revealed the complexity, multidimensionality and interdisciplinary nature of Ukrainian historiography on the development of foreign higher and university education. Taking into account the territorial-spatial and thematic-content orientation of the research, its structure includes five conditional interrelated blocks of works that consider higher and university education: 1) as a global and regional education system; 2) in the context of the phenomena «Bologna Process/European Education Area - foreign countries – Ukraine»; 3) in certain regions (mainly European); 4) in different countries; 5) in terms of the main subject of the study. The paper identifies three stages of development of the historiographical process, which reflected the peculiarities, nature, and trends in the study of national systems of higher and university education in foreign countries: 1) the post-Soviet period (1991-2001), when their targeted study began in the mid-1990s; 2) pro-European (2002-2011/12), when the perspective of studying this problem moved to the context of understanding the process of integration of foreign countries into the European Higher Education Area; 3) country studies (since 2012), when scholars began to study foreign higher education systems as separate socio-cultural phenomena. It has been revealed a narrow country studies vector of Ukrainian comparative scholars, who focused on the study of mainly five to six national higher education systems. The author characterises the phenomenon of numerous studies that have the same subject matter: on the one hand, it is objectively determined by the research interests of the authors, on the other hand, it leads to duplication of factual material and theoretical provisions.

Educational efficiency across Spanish regions: a comparative analysis over time

AbstractThe present study aims to assess the performance of Spanish regional education systems using data from the last waves of the Programme for International Student Assessment dataset (2018 and 2022) to explore how productivity gaps across regions change over time. To do this, we apply a robust version of the base‐group base‐period Luenberger index, which allows us to estimate and compare the performance of schools from different groups (regions in our case), assuming they use different technology of production. Consequently, we can compare the technical and efficiency gaps between regions, to identify the best performers (benchmark) and explain the gaps in terms of efficiency change (catching‐up effect) and technological change. The results show that all Spanish regions have experienced a deterioration in their performance over time, thus confirming the expected negative effect of the school closures caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic. However, there are notable differences in the evolution experienced by the different regions, which allow us to draw several relevant conclusions for the design of educational policies.

Professional and personal development of newly-qualified teachers as a factor in sustainable development of the region

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problem of newly-qualified teachers’ professional development. The aim of the study is to identify the difficulties of novice teachers during their adaptation in educational settings of the region and to substantiate the ways to improve the quality of initial teacher education in the system of continuous teacher education. Materials and Methods. The methodological basis of the study consists of contextual biographical and cluster approaches. The contextual biographical approach involves studying teachers’ professional biographies in the system of continuing education, taking into account complex external conditions. The cluster approach defines the principles of interaction between various stakeholders within the regional community in order to ensure the sustainable development of the regional educational system. In order to achieve the research goal, the following methods were used: theoretical (analysis of scholarly literature, comparison, generalization) and empirical (online questionnaire, focus group method, method of independent expert assessments). Results. Based on the analysis of scholarly literature, the authors provide their definition of professional and personal teachers’ development as a basic component of their professional development during the period of initial teacher education and at the initial stage of professional development. The authors argued that the main difficulty of novice teachers during the adaptation period is their interaction with various subjects of the educational process at school - students and their parents. The article substantiates the necessity of creating a regional educational cluster as an effective mechanism for improving the quality of initial teacher education at different stages of continuous teacher education. Conclusions. Based on the authors’ idea about professional and personal development of teachers as a basic component of their professional development in the initial period of their working life, the study reveals the main difficulties of novice teachers during their adaptation in educational settings of the region, overcoming of which requires changes in the system of psychological, teacher and methods education at universities and colleges. As an effective mechanism for improving the quality of teacher education, the authors substantiated the idea of creating a pedagogical scientific and educational cluster in the region, which unites the participants of the territorial educational community interested in providing the regional education system with highly qualified teaching staff.

П РОГНОЗИРОВАНИЕ И СТРАТЕГИРОВАНИЕ РЕГИОНАЛЬНОЙ СИСТЕМЫ ОБЩЕГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ

In this research project of Sevastopol State University (Sevastopol, Russian Federation), an urgent scientific task has been implemented to analyze and predict the effectiveness, as well as strategize the regional system of general education. At the first stage of the study, the criteria and indicators of the effectiveness of the educational organization and the regional education system as a whole were determined. At the second stage, a non-random sample of twelve secondary schools of the city with declining educational performance was formed and analyzed, which amounted to about twenty percent of their total number, as a result of which “problem points” were identified and a forecast of the effectiveness of these educational organizations was built. At the same time, the tools of economic and mathematical modeling were used: correlation and regression analysis, time series analysis, the principal components method and cluster analysis. At the third stage, individual and general strategies have been developed for the sample schools that optimally correspond to the identified “problem points”, in addition, planning for the implementation of the proposed strategies for each of the considered educational organizations has been carried out.

Causes of Abroad Study in Higher Education from Nepal

This study explores the factors that motivate Nepali students to study abroad as well as the obstacles they face in order to understand this phenomenon. Every year, the number of students going to study abroad from Nepal is increasing. Considering this situation, this study tries to find out why Nepali students choose to pursue their higher education overseas. A quantitative approach using surveys was used to acquire opinions from one hundred Nepali students. The findings indicate a significant propensity to study overseas in order to advance professionally, advance personally and obtain better employment prospects. Concerns regarding Nepal’s political unrest and lack of employment opportunities also play a role in decision-making for abroad study. These results highlight the complex interplay between socio-political, economic and personal factors when influencing decisions about educational migration. In order to meet the various needs of Nepali students and improve the regional educational system, policymakers and educational institutions must have a thorough understanding of these dynamics. Considering all things, the study adds to the conversation about globalization, educational mobility and the goals of young people in Nepal in an increasingly interconnected world.

Человеческий капитал в теории и практике экономического роста (на примере Мурманской области)

Russia’s Arctic policy focuses on making large-scale progress in the Arctic’s social and economic domains, including the development of local natural resources and the Northern Sea Route and the establishment of high-tech centers that can create global value chains. One of the primary challenges and threats to the sustainable development of the Russian Arctic regions is the mismatch between regional higher education systems and the needs of the economy. The risks are significantly exacerbated by the global economic transformation and the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore, when considering the prospects for the innovation-driven development of the Arctic’s economy, a critical issue is the accumulation of highly educated human capital, where higher education plays a key role. The article explores the issues surrounding the formation and accumulation of human capital from the perspective of regional economic growth. The goal of this work is to empirically test the theory of increasing returns on investments in education. The key premise is that human capital accumulation has constant returns and can therefore grow indefinitely. This made it possible to put forward the hypothesis that the better the population’s access to higher education, the bigger the human capital and, accordingly, the higher the growth of gross output per capita. An empirical assessment was conducted to check the test model of the influence of university enrollment rates on economic growth. The results indicated a high coefficient of determination from the regression of the time series of the studied indicators. Also, the model showed the presence of conditional convergence, which means that a decrease in university enrollment rates is compensated for by an increase in the return on human capital due to an increase in the quality of education.

A model of management of methodological activity of a reference school based on the identification potential of a regional system for assessing the quality of education

Introduction. One of the conditions for improvement the quality of students' educational results is considered the improving the quality of human resources, as well as the arranging of methodological activities taking into account the analysis of educational results of students. It becomes important to search for to improve the quality of education in reference schools, which become the center of the methodical activities of this school district, and it is organized according to the principle of concentration and interchangeability of resources. The purpose of the research is to develop and to justify the model of management methodological activities of the reference school, aimed at filling the professional deficits of teaching staff of the school district, based on the identification potential of the regional system for assessing the quality of general education. Materials and methods. The study involved teaching staff of 10 reference schools and school districts, including 66 rural educational organizations of the Kirov region (Russia). The following methods were used: theoretical analysis, modeling, experimental work, statistical criterion of χ2 -Pearson. The measuring tools are: an author's questionnaire by the type of academic heading to identify the level of methodological competence of the teacher and the tasks of the All-Russian verification works on the Russian language and mathematics for schoolchildren. Results. A connection has been established between 6 functions of the methodological activity of the reference school and 7 components of the identification potential of the regional educational quality assessment system. The effectiveness of the construction of the methodological activity of the reference school based on the developed model through the fixation of facts is empirically substantiated: a) using descriptive statistics (in the experimental group, the proportion of teachers with a sufficient level of methodological competence increased (Russian ‒ from 32% to 77%, mathematics ‒ from 37% to 81%). 23% of Russian language teachers and 19% of mathematics teachers of the experimental group had a high level of methodological competence at the control stage, which was not revealed at the ascertaining stage); b) using evidence-based statistics: application of the χ2 -Pearson statistical criterion. After conducting experimental work, the significance of the differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of methodological competence is χ2 = 74.465 for teachers of the Russian language and χ2 = 58.329 for teachers of mathematics.This indicates a statistically significant positive shift in the development of methodological competence of teachers in the experimental group. Conclusion. The quality of students' academic results is largely determined by the quality of the methodological work organized in the reference school. An effective resource for improving the quality of learning outcomes is the identification potential of the regional educational quality assessment system and the management of methodological activities in the school district based on it.

The philosophical foundations of the Uhuyu education system

The new digital culture, the prospects for the development of education in the third millennium, and the tasks of humanizing education objectively bring to the fore a philosophical understanding of ethnopedagogic methods of education in the context of the development of the regional education system. In the context of the transformation of value attitudes in the youth environment, an appropriate model of upbringing and education of young people is needed, associated with the creative development and formation of a holistic worldview culture, moral stability, and patriotic spirit. In modern conditions, the priority task is to identify the unique features of traditional ethnopedagogic methods of upbringing and education in the development of socio-philosophical research. From the point of view of methodology, this is achieved primarily by introducing students to a certain system of ethnocultural values, customs and traditions. In this regard, the article presents an analysis and description of the work experience of the Mandar Uus Kyhata summer school for young males. For many years, the summer school has been proactively developing, and currently this project works as an ethnocultural center developed by teachers of Bayaga community and A.E. Mordinov Tatta Lyceum, based on the teachings of Boris Neustroev – Mandar Uus. In this regard, the system of Yakut education “Uhuyu” is analyzed and characterized, which is an integral model of education and upbringing based on genealogical research methods of pedagogical dynasties. The presented model continues the traditions of ethnopedagogic methods of upbringing and education and is aimed at preserving, reviving, and spreading traditional ethnocultural and spiritual and moral values in the modern world. It emphasizes the importance of developing practical skills among students and the need for continuous selfdevelopment and adaptation to changing conditions. The results of the study can contribute to the field of socio-philosophical research that addresses the issues of studying the foundations of the pedagogical culture of the family in the context of the development of the regional education system. The experience and results of the work can be used in the development of regional programs for the implementation of family policy and social support for young people

Introduction. Digital technologies contribute to the rapid development of communications in various spheres of society. However, MOOCs, despite being a young and exciting phenomenon, have both positive and negative aspects. The purpose of the article is to study and analyze the phenomenon of MOOCs in its global and regional dimensions, and assessment their future evolution, identifying the strengths and weaknesses in their development, especially for the development of regional education systems. Materials and Methods. Theoretical research is carried out in the context of a systematic approach to maximize the study of all the features and patterns of the phenomenon under study, which is a system. The research methodology used is SWOT analysis, which helps to identify the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and threats for the future of higher education. The method helped to identify, on the one hand, the positive and negative aspects of the development of massive open online courses of the MOOC, on the other, to identify the opportunities and threats of online learning systems for the future development of higher education (global and regional levels). Results. The authors show that open online courses are an important addition to traditional university education, built on the basis of common forms, but working within the framework of a regional dimension. They allow you to increase the level of knowledge and competencies in various industries and beyond territorial borders by building specific online communities). However, the authors also show that this open communication system is considered by many of its participants not as a specific addition to the traditional one, but as its real alternative. The main results of the study is the identification of hidden and unexpressed weaknesses in the MOOC system. Instead of the expected democratization of education and enlightenment, if the existing threats are underestimated, it may lead to degradation and a new phase of the global educational crisis. The scientific novelty of this research lies in the fact that the phenomenon of MOOCs is still young and has been poorly studied in scientific literature. Discussion and Conclusion. In conclusion, the authors summarize the specifics of the manifestations of an open system of knowledge communication (its global and regional dimensions). The practical significance of this study of the authors lies in the analysis and generalization of the problems of the development of online education. This article will be useful for anyone interested in research issues of theoretical and practical aspects of the modern education system development (both regional and global levels of its formation).

Прогностический подход в процессе совершенствования личностного и профессионального уровня педагогов с учетом развития региональной образовательной системы

The article is devoted to the study of the issue of a prognostic approach in the process of improving the personal and professional level of teachers in view of the development of the regional educational system. One of the features of the socio-political development of the Russian education system today is the qualitative renewal of the federal structure of our state. Modernization and reform of the educational system in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is justified by the increased responsibility of the regions for the quality of education and the need for integration into the educational space of the state. The regional education system of the various republics of the Russian Federation, having certain general invariant characteristics, always remains conditioned by geographical, economic, sociocultural, national-ethnic, and confessional specifics. The formation of regional labor markets is relevant, and the most important task of the process of improving the personal and professional level of teachers is to take into account the specifics of the regional educational system of vocational education, ensuring the social protection of teachers by introducing regional production specifics into the content and organizational forms of this type of activity.

Learning and teaching amidst and beyond the covid-19 pandemic: sustaining and enhancing students’ solidarity

This research aims to explore the issues of learning and teaching online at Russian universities, including during the COVID-19 outbreak. With movement and contacts restricted, all full-time students and all educators had to master new technologies in a very short term, develop special course layouts for remote teaching mode, and cope with the motivational challenges. The methods include but are not limited to content analysis of media publications, domestic regulations, and local normative documents. The concepts of macro-social and group (particularistic) solidarity together with the methodological position of the interplay between solidarity, autonomy, and agency, constitute the original theoretical ground of the research. Comparing in-person, blended, and complete virtual learning modes during COVID-19, the study discusses teachers' work overload, students' acceptance of distant modes of education, and their solidarity when interacting with university administrations and governments. The paper provides a meta-analysis by exploring the impacts of digital transformation and the Covid-2019 outbreak on justice, transparency, agency, and solidarity at universities. The findings show challenges and ways of self-realization of students and teachers in complex socio-economic, psychological, and educational conditions and are of decisive importance for teachers who develop and conduct philosophical disciplines online. Showing systemic shortcomings of the regional educational system, the paper raises our awareness of how emergency situation, political and managerial measures interact with challenges and coping practices of educational and non-educational actors.

Methodology for express assessment of human resource potential in the regional system of secondary general education

This article presents a methodology for the quick assessment of human resources potential within the regional system of secondary general education. Its relevance is dictated by the extreme importance of human resources for improving the quality of education in the region, the need for well-founded managerial decisions to enhance the effectiveness of teaching, and the demand by regional education management bodies for tools to evaluate and develop human resources. The tasks, solved with the help of the proposed methodology, include identification (using statistical and econometric methods) significant general, professional, and motivational characteristics of teachers that affect the results of their students’ Unified State Exams (USE); determining profiles of successful and unsuccessful teachers and their location in regional schools; projecting the expected USE results for a new teacher’s class based on their characteristics; setting targeted goals for the development of human resource potential in the region, and targeted interventions in the problematic areas of the regional education system. Thus, this methodology holds high practical significance for the improvement of the regional general secondary education system.

Interaction practices between pedagogical universities and regional educational systems: Indicators of scientific and educational effectiveness

Introduction. The paper raises the issue of interactions between pedagogical universities and regional educational systems (hereinafter – RES) in the context of improving the efficiency of universities. The purpose of the study was to identify and systematically describe the nature of the interaction between pedagogical universities and RES in its relationship with the indicators of scientific and educational effectiveness of universities. Materials and Methods. The theoretical and methodological framework of the study is based on the ecosystem approach and the concepts of the educational environment. The authors used a mixed design of the study; the characteristics of the interaction between 33 federal pedagogical universities and RES were analyzed. The information posted on the official websites of universities was subjected to content analysis and inductive thematic analysis. Quantitative indicators of universities that made up the sample of the study were also analyzed based on the results of monitoring the activities of higher educational institutions. The data obtained were subjected to frequency, comparative, cluster and factor analysis. Results. It is revealed that universities are more likely to implement practices of interaction with the RES, aimed to strengthen practical preparation of students and meet the employment needs of regions. The results of the cluster analysis made it possible to substantiate the provisions on four types of practices of interaction between universities and RES: "integration", "cooperation", "development" and "presence". It is shown that universities implementing integration and developing interaction practices demonstrate higher indicators of scientific and academic efficiency. The authors come to the conclusion that with the coincidence of the targets of federal universities and RES, there is a need to develop mechanisms for their interaction. Different practices of interaction between universities and RES are generated by different strategies of their construction, which determine the role of a pedagogical university in the educational space of the region. It is shown that scientific and academic excellence of the university is associated with the implementation of integration practices of interaction. Conclusions. According to the research finding, the nature of the interaction between federal pedagogical universities and RES is revealed and described, the key types of interaction practices reflecting the vectors of inclusion of the federal university in the regional educational space are determined.
