Resilient education: The role of digital technology in supporting geographical education in Ukraine

AbstractThis commentary spotlights the continued impact of the Russian invasion on geography education in higher education in Ukraine. From discussions with Ukrainian geographers in institutions in contrasting regions of the country, we describe their resilience in adapting the delivery of the physical geography curriculum, especially in the essential area of fieldwork and the use of digital tools. This ‘lived experience’ perspective builds on the theoretical contributions to the discussion initiated by Klinke (2023) in this journal about the challenges posed for geographers. In the third year of the conflict, the challenges set out are considerable, long term, and we call for individuals, universities and funders to further facilitate teaching and learning collaborations despite the limited funds available for the exchange of teaching and learning support and innovation.

Legal regulation of education in Ukraine. Part 6: Features of admission to higher education in Ukraine

This article examines the legal issues of regulating the access of citizens of Ukraine to higher education of the third educational and scientific degree (doctor of philosophy) in the paradigm of international acts, the Constitution of Ukraine, the Laws of Ukraine, and Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in the field of education. This is related to the existence of certain legal conflicts in the education sector, which arose as a result of the ambiguity and imperfection of the legislation of Ukraine on education, which the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine uses to illegally restrict the access of citizens of Ukraine to higher education of the third educational and scientific degree. Taking into account the requirements of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations, and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the article presents the results of a study of the peculiarities of the application of the provisions of the relevant legislative acts in the field of education (with all changes and additions introduced as of September 1, 2024), namely the Law of Ukraine “On Education” (dated September 5, 2017, under No. 2145-VIII), the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education” (dated July 1, 2014, under No. 1556- VII) and the “Procedure for Training Candidates for Higher Education Degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Sciences in institutions of higher education (scientific institutions)”, approved by Resolution No. 261 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (dated March 23, 2016). At the same time, the research is mainly focused on the peculiarities of applying the above­mentioned legislative acts to determine the differences in the conditions of access to free and paid education and the established legitimacy and feasibility of certain elements of such conditions. Principally this concerns the introduction by the State of Ukraine of unified professional exams and other tests (with the use of external independent evaluation) as a condition for access to the next stage of tests, namely, entrance exams and other tests for admission to study introduced by higher education institutions of Ukraine. That is, the legality of establishing a two-level system of competitions and entrance tests for those who wish to obtain a higher education of the third educational and scientific degree (doctor of philosophy) on a paid basis (i.e., at their own expense or the expense of non-state grants and scholarships) is being considered. The article is the sixth one within the cycle of studies in which the peculiarities of access of Ukrainian citizens to higher education in martial law conditions are addressed.

Adapting Japanese Methods of Holistic Education in Ukrainian Higher Education: Advantages and challenges

This study examines the potential benefits and challenges of integrating Japanese holistic education methods into Ukrainian higher education. Japanese holistic education, characterised by an emphasis on the development of the whole person, including emotional, social and moral aspects, has demonstrated success in nurturing well-rounded individuals. In contrast, Ukrainian higher education emphasises academic achievement, often overlooking holistic development. This study aims to address this gap by exploring how Japanese educational principles can be adapted to the Ukrainian context. Through a comprehensive literature review, surveys and interviews with educators and experts from both countries, the study identifies key principles of Japanese holistic education and assesses their applicability in Ukraine. The findings suggest that the application of these practices can significantly improve students’ well-being, critical thinking, and social skills. However, the study also identified a number of challenges, including cultural differences, resistance to change and logistical constraints. The study concludes with practical recommendations for policymakers and educators in Ukraine, emphasising the need for a gradual and context-sensitive approach to implementing holistic educational practices. By addressing these challenges and building on the identified strengths, Ukrainian higher education can continue to evolve to support the holistic development of students better and prepare them for the complexities of the modern world.

The article substantiates the relevance of the problem, provides a theoretical analysis of scientific sources on the concepts of “values” and “professional values of a modern teacher,” and defines their role in ensuring the quality of higher education during wartime. It was found that teaching in wartime has become a challenge for all the participants in the educational process and a real test for higher education institutions, which enable young people to receive not only knowledge but also psychological support, and maintain a sense of belonging to the Ukrainian community. Ukrainian educators demonstrate lessons of resilience, struggle, and victory to the world daily. Due to their work, Ukrainian youth can continue learning despite numerous challenges and threats. Ensuring access to quality education at all levels has become a priority of state educational policy. This direction includes creating conditions for continuous learning, developing new models of the educational process, supporting teachers and students, and providing access to innovative technologies and educational materials. It is emphasized that the professional values of teachers have gained particular significance in Ukraine's higher education system. Their activities during the war focus on training specialists who uphold and affirm the values of Ukrainian statehood. Teachers not only educate the new generation but also strengthen belief in the future, inspiring active citizenship, readiness to defend their values, and build a peaceful society. Conclusions are drawn that the modern teacher possesses values that determine the success of their professional activities and ensure the quality of higher education. The main values include: respect for the dignity and rights of higher education students, academic integrity, continuous professional growth, innovation and creativity, collaboration and partnership, empathy, and social responsibility; determination, etc. It is worth noting that emotional resilience and balance are crucial for teachers working in wartime conditions.

Ensuring quality higher education in Ukraine in times of war

This study focuses on exploring the issue of ensuring quality higher education in the conditions of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It synthesizes and analyzes literature sources, legal documents, secondary data, original (survey) data, and the author’s experiences with enhancing the quality of higher education. Using analysis of the legal documents, such as the National Doctrine of the Development of Education, the Law of Ukraine ‘On education’, and the Law of Ukraine ‘On higher education’, I study the legal framework for Ukrainian higher education. Using secondary data obtained from online sources, I find irrefutable evidence of mass destruction from Russian military aggression on educational institutions of Ukraine and the educational process in general, and specific initiatives from the Ukrainian state, Ukrainian universities, and international institutions to support the Ukrainian higher education system in wartime conditions. Using original data collected through surveys, I present first-hand information on the processes of changes in higher education in Ukraine under the conditions of Russia’s ongoing military aggression and the issue of ensuring quality higher education through the prism of the experience of students at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. Using the author’s personal teaching experience in the implementation of joint global classrooms, I analyze the possibilities of developed partnerships for motivating students and ensuring quality higher education in the conditions of war. Based on the analysis and synthesis of secondary data, I identify the main responses of the higher education system of Ukraine which enable it to maintain the quality of higher education as the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals during the war, namely (i) improvement and wider implementation of an online education system; (ii) organization of work of higher education institutions relocated from the occupied territories to territories controlled by Ukraine; (iii) support of international institutions; and (iv) partnership programmes with partner universities. The analysis of the results of the survey of students highlighted that the top priority of a Ukrainian university during wartime should be the safety of all participants in the educational and research process and high-quality education, and the most serious problems that create obstacles to ensuring the quality of education are the distressed psychological states of the participants in the educational process and organizational issues in the conditions of military aggression. By analyzing the experience of the implementation of joint global classrooms format, I also highlight that this format can be an effective additional measure in motivating students and ensuring the quality of higher education in the difficult conditions of war, and a developed partnership plays a crucial role in its implementation.

FUNCTIONING OF AN EDUCATOR IN A DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT

In the current period of development of higher education in Ukraine, there is active integration of digital technologies, which radically change the usual pedagogical approaches and methods of teaching. Digitalization of education opens paths to autonomy in learning and individualization of the educational process, simultaneously generating challenges associated with the need to adapt to a rapidly changing educational environment. The main goal of this article is to analyze the new opportunities and challenges arising from the implementation of digital technologies in the sphere of higher education. Particular attention is paid to the educator’s image and the legislation regulating this process, including legislative norms that establish criteria for quality and directions for the development of education in the digital era. An important aspect of the article is the study of the psychological and cultural challenges of digitalization, including the adaptive barriers faced by educators and students. Recent research results indicate a complex balance between the positive and negative aspects of digital learning, which is of strategic importance for the development of online education in Ukraine. The conclusion of the article offers recommendations for the effective implementation of digital technologies in higher education, emphasizing the importance of developing digital competencies among all participants in the educational process and improving the infrastructure necessary to support continuous education. The subject of the study is the impact of digital technologies on the educational process in higher education, analyzing changes in pedagogical methods and the adaptation of educators to new teaching conditions. The object of the study is the formation of elite and burlesque meta-linguistic personalities (mMP) of educators in the digital environment. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the introduction into scientific circulation of the concept of "burlesque meta-linguistic personality" (burlesque mMP), which until now had no clear definition in linguistics and cultural studies. The concept of burlesque mMP allows for a deeper understanding of the dynamics of language transformations in the digital environment, where ironic and parodic use of language becomes a significant communication tool. The article details the main characteristics and features of the burlesque mMP, including its impact on the stylistic and ideological diversity of contemporary linguistic practice, which is conditioned by unconventional ways of using language that traditionally were not considered "literary". Such research opens new possibilities for analyzing digital communication and the interaction of linguistic identities in the virtual space.

МЕТОДИЧНА ПІДГОТОВКА МАЙБУТНІХ УЧИТЕЛІВ БІОЛОГІЇ ДО ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇДОСЛІДНИЦЬКОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ УЧНІВ

The article analyzes the state of methodical training of future teachers for the organization of research activities during biology education. The article analyzes model programs "Biology. 7-9 grades" for institutions of general secondary education. The current state of methodical training of future teachers for the organization of research activities during biology education has been clarified. It has been found that the research approach in the education of education seekers is implemented through the study of all educational disciplines, the formation of research biological skills, takes place during the training of professional disciplines, and is consolidated during the training of selective disciplines and practical training. Acquiring research skills by students is one of the priority tasks of modern biological education. Because STEM education is based on the practical, interdisciplinary application of knowledge and skills to solve practical tasks that students face, not only during education, but also in everyday life. Accordingly, training should aim to teach students disciplines in a pleasant and, above all, practical way, since it is a project-based form of training. Higher education should be aimed at awakening the scientific interest of students and developing their ability to solve problems. The purpose of such training is to teach students to apply an interdisciplinary approach during training, to adapt knowledge and skills to real-life problems, to give them more tools for future professional activities. Mastering research skills by students is one of the priority tasks of modern biological education. STEM education is based on the practical, interdisciplinary application of knowledge and skills to solve practical problems faced by students, not only during their studies but also in everyday life. Accordingly, education should aim to teach students disciplines in an enjoyable and, above all, practical way, as it is a project-based form of learning. Higher education should be aimed at awakening students' scientific interest and developing their ability to solve problems. Implementation of these changes will require significant efforts from all participants in the educational process. However, if these efforts are successful, they will contribute to improving the quality of higher education in Ukraine and ensure that higher education students are prepared for successful professional activities in modern society.

ДУАЛЬНА ОСВІТА СТУДЕНТІВ У ЗАКЛАДАХ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ НІМЕЧЧИНИ

The article reveals the peculiarities of dual education of students in higher education institutions in Germany. To solve the set goal, the following research methods were used: theoretical: analysis of pedagogical literature, normative documents, materials of periodicals on the research topic; structural-logical analysis and systematization; comparison of different views on the problem; generalization. It has been established that the dual form of education in Germany has the right to be chosen by students who study full-time or in other forms of education and have expressed a personal desire and passed the selection process at the employer. In Germany, the following models of dual higher education are presented: higher education with integrated professional (vocational and technical) education (Ausbildungsintegrierendes Duales Studium). This is higher education combined with professional and technical (professional) education. That is why this model is covered by the Vocational Training Act. A special feature is the combination of training in a higher education institution and in a vocational and technical education institution, as well as in a company, where the applicants are in the status of a "student" and not an intern or an employee of the enterprise; higher education with integrated practical training (Praxisintegrierendes bzw. kooperatives Duales Studium). This is the most widespread model in Germany, which involves long-term practice at the company as an intern/trainee. The alternation of periods of stay in an educational institution and in a company depends on many factors, including the type of vocational training; higher education with integrated professional activity (Berufsintegierendes Duales Studium).This is a combination of education and professional activity. Thanks to the dual education model, Germany provides permanent training of qualified young professionals who study with an orientation to the existing needs of enterprises, that is, after receiving a dual education, young people have good employment prospects. Therefore, dual education plays an important role in effectively overcoming youth unemployment. At the same time, the combination of efforts of the state, educational institutions and the economy corresponds to the basic principles of the social market economy, where the state creates the necessary for the free development of the economy. We see the prospects for further exploration directly in the study of the possibilities of applying the experience of dual education in Germany in the system of higher education in Ukraine. Key words: dual education, institutions of higher education, experience of Germany.

DEVELOPING A SYSTEM OF QUALITY ASSURANCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

University Architectures Re-Invented: Re-Conceptualizing Forced Migration, Historical Consciousness, and Coalition Building in Ukraine After the Full-Scale Russian Invasion

The purpose of this article is to describe the creation of displaced universities (DUs) as spaces for coalition building, resistance, and decolonial practice that have re-invented the university architecture. This article offers a multi-perspectival and historical exploration of higher education in Ukraine before and after the full-scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, with particular focus on the coalitions around Ukrainian DUs. DUs can be seen as one form of decolonial creations, as a unique organic coalition and intellectual community. This organic coalition includes a process of social resistance, resilience, and policy, which are being shaped by people whose lives were and still are uncertain. These people affiliated with higher education created invisible connections that re-shaped the vision and relationality of DUs. The interwoven life trajectories of forced migrants, Ukrainian academics, administrators, and students who made the decision to move to mainland Ukraine and establish (in)visible DUs while continuing their work and education in Ukrainian territories under the control of the Ukrainian government.
