Digital transformation of the promotion of educational services of Kazakhstani universities

Digital channels have become the modern priority channels for promoting educational services. Integration into the international educational space, changes in the priority of communication channels, and digital transformation have led to the need to rethink existing approaches to the digital promotion of educational services of Kazakhstani universities. Particular interest in modernizing the promotion of educational services is caused by the fact that representatives of the new generation, Generation Z, are now becoming consumers of educational services. The basis of this study was the analysis of digital promotion channels as the main source of information and value, the needs of generation Z, who are now becoming the main consumers of the services of universities, including those in Kazakhstan. The purpose of the study is to determine the priorities for the digital promotion of educational services, to build a model for the digital promotion of university educational services, taking into account the needs of key consumers—generation Z, digital channels, and educational programs of the university. Hypothesis: priorities for digital promotion of educational services of universities should be differentiated depending on the popularity and technical parameters of the sites. The web resources similarweb.com, pagespeed.web.dev, wordstat.yandex.ru, sitechecker.pro were used as analysis tools. A correlation analysis of queries on university websites and the core values of generation Z was carried out. The closeness of the pairwise correlation between the total number of visits and website performance, search engine optimization, recommendations, and special features was determined. Based on the research, a model for promoting the university’s educational services has been structured, highlighting key components: educational programs, digital technologies, and the values of generation Z.

Creative and Predictive Management of Vocational Education in the Context of Social Partnership Development

This research aims to theoretically substantiate the effectiveness of creative-prospective management in the professional training of contemporary youth in the context of developing social partnerships. Additionally, it aims to describe the functional model of creative-prospective management in professional education within the social partnership framework. The study involved 482 South Ural State Humanitarian-Pedagogical University students, the Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University, and the Shadrinsk State Pedagogical University. Furthermore, 100 graduates currently employed in secondary education institutions participated in the study. The following methodologies were employed in the experiment: the Mehrabian Achieving Tendency Scale (used by employers and social partners to determine the relationships between partners in social partnerships) and the modified Magomed-Eminov (1989, 2002) scale (utilized by employers and social partners to assess the quality of graduates' professional training). A multistage quota sampling technique and a review of the modification questionnaires were used to ensure the experiment's reliability. Respondents participated in the assessment of the effectiveness of professional education managers. The empirical research revealed synergistic connections between an expanded list of specialities and training directions associated with the differentiation of professional education and the employability of graduates in the Ural labour market. It was determined that creative and prospective management is necessary to prepare highly qualified and competitive graduates. This allowed for identifying key criteria for assessing the quality of higher education and their indicators, including the level of overall development and professional qualifications of graduates, as well as the employability of graduates in the labour market. Implementing creative and prospective management can serve as the basis for the dynamic expansion of international educational agglomerations. The development of social partnerships can increase the competitiveness of educational organisations involved in diversification processes within the international educational space. The analysed theoretical and practical positions emphasise the challenges and possible solutions associated with the system of social partnership.

ПРОФЕСІЙНА ПІДГОТОВКА МАЙБУТНІХ БАКАЛАВРІВ З КОМП’ЮТЕРНОЇ ІНЖЕНЕРІЇ В УМОВАХ МУЛЬТИДИСЦИПЛІНАРНОСТІ STEM-ОСВІТИ

The article is devoted to one of the urgent problems of training future bachelors in computer engineering in the conditions of multidisciplinarity of STEM education. In particular, the essence of such concepts as STEM education, the analysis of its functioning in the international educational space is revealed. The purpose of the article is to analyze the essence, content, approaches and features of modern innovative STEM education in the preparation of bachelors in computer engineering in Ukraine, as a new and priority direction, taking into account world and domestic historical experience. The main approaches to the implementation of STEM education programs are highlighted: the expansion of educational experience in individual STEM subjects, using problem-oriented educational activities, during which analytical concepts are applied to real world problems, with the aim of better understanding of complex concepts by students; integrating knowledge of STEM subjects to create a deeper understanding of their content, which will ultimately lead to the expansion of opportunities for students to choose a career path in the future; the use of a multidisciplinary approach, which relies on integrativeness in teaching the necessary disciplines, as it is done in real production conditions. Thus, the student will be able to apply his knowledge to solve poorly structured technological problems, develop technical capabilities and more intensively master the skills of highly organized thinking; the introduction of innovations in the teaching methodology of each of the individual STEM subjects. The importance of teachers’ readiness to introduce STEM education is proven, which is due to the fact that in the education system the emphasis is on theoretical subject knowledge, and the connection between learning and solving pract ical tasks remains weak. Therefore, it is important to popularize STEM technologies, organize practice-oriented courses to improve the qualifications of teachers. It is emphasized that the implementation of STEM education programs in the training of future bachelors in computer engineering allows to satisfy the need of the state and society for highly qualified engineering specialists, to increase the interest of modern youth in engineering professions, to significantly improve the quality of education, and to prepare students for real life. Our analysis allows us to consider STEM education as a complex valuable, socially important, systemic-institutional, personal-developmental, process-active and technological phenomenon.

Специфіка формування конкурентних переваг ЗВО на основі ціннісного підходу в умовах війни

The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for the formation of competitive advantages by higher education institutions in the context of war based on a value-based approach. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the work is a system of general sci-entific and special methods of scientific knowledge, which are directly related to the purpose and objectives of the study. The research methods used in the study include statistical, comparative analysis and generalisation methods to identify the factors influencing the change in demand in war-time. Index methods were used to assess the severity of competition and the core of the higher edu-cation market. The method of hierarchy analysis by T. Saaty was used to establish the weight of value criteria by students, independent of the subjectivity of their choice. Findings. It has been found that in the higher education market, the concept of marketing in-stitutionalisation was applied in response to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the specifics of higher education institutions in wartime. This has forced the educational, scientific and innova-tive components of higher education institutions to undergo dramatic changes. Based on the analysis of the competitive environment of higher education institutions and the results of a marketing study of student opinion, the value parameters of students' choice of higher education institutions in times of war are identified. The value parameters of the choice of higher education institutions include: the level of qualification of the teaching staff; the region of location of higher education institutions; cooperation with foreign universities; reviews in social networks; and the availability of the chosen speciality. Using the method of hierarchy analysis, T. Saaty has established a ranking of universities ac-cording to the criteria that are valuable for students. As a result of the study, recommendations are made on the implementation of value parameters of students' choice of higher education institutions in the model of providing educational services of higher education institutions. It is proved that the model of providing educational services of higher education institutions should be developed taking into account the strategic directions of development of higher education institutions, hierarchical, value-based approaches, added value and complementary development of related and compatible sectors of the economy. Practical implications. The model of providing educational services by higher education insti-tutions based on the value-based approach is recommended to be used in the development of pro-grammes to motivate students to return to the country after completing their studies in order to re-store Ukraine's economy in the post-war period by the marketing departments of such institutions as the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, the State Employment Service under the Ministry of Econo-my of Ukraine and other institutions. Value. The implementation of value-based parameters of choice by higher education institu-tions in the model of providing educational services by higher education institutions increases the ability for dynamic growth in innovation and integration, adaptive flexibility to changes in the glob-al higher education market, and ensures the realisation of national interests in education. Taking in-to account international rankings will help to raise awareness among consumers of educational ser-vices about the priority of educational services, identify the professionalism of staff, improve the quality of management of educational processes, and facilitate the integration of higher education institutions into the international scientific and educational space.

The Student-As-Consumer (SAC) Approach in Higher Education in Kazakhstan: Theory and Practice

After joining the Bologna process in 2010 the Kazakhstani system of education has transformed into 3 cycle training: Bachelor – Master – PhD. The process of integration of Kazakhstani universities into the international educational space has also begun. One of the main points of transformation was the attitude towards a student, which is declared by the student-based approach of the Bologna process, humanistic bases of modern theories of education and «student-as-consumer» approach (SAC). The article is aimed at detailing the features of a modern trend of promoting the concept of SAC (student-as-consumer) in the Kazakhstan, and the existing contradictions, or pressure, to grip the students' view in a time frame of 30 years of a new system of higher education, to propose recommendations for overcoming them in line with global trends and experience. Research methods: literature analysis and a survey of teachers and students. The article offers an overview of the «student-as-consumer» approach, which is associated with the emergence of market relations and the increase in personal financial contribution of students to their higher education. The focus of the study is to identify how students perceive current higher education and whether universities are in line with the «student-as-consumer» approach. The survey indicates that the attitude of a student as a consumer of educational services is still at the stage of formation. It also discusses the consequences of the «student-as-consumer» approach for both universities and students.

THE ESSENCE AND CONTENT OF THE COMPETITIVENESS OF A MATHEMATICS TEACHER IN THE CONTEXT OF PORTER'S «FIVE FORCES» THEORY OF COMPETITION

Addressing the topic of competitiveness in the educational industry is due to the society needa and the New Ukrainian School for teachers with a new style of pedagogical thinking, with creative approaches to solving educational problems, adequately responding to non-standard learning situations, capable to effectively organize professional and pedagogical activities. The article purpose: to research the essence and components of mathematics teacher's competitiveness through the lens of M.Porter's «five forces» model of competition. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature, systematization (to clarify key research concepts), generalization (for the purpose of forming author's conclusions). It is substantiated that the problem of competitiveness is extremely relevant for mathematics teachers today. The results of the international PISA research, the annual reports of the independent higher education institutions in mathematics testify not only to the insufficient level of mathematical literacy of Ukrainian students, but also lead to the identification of a number of factors that cause such educational results. Among others (imperfectness of educational programs, textbooks, lack of motivation of students to study mathematics, unpreparedness of teachers and students for blended learning, insufficient level of teacher qualifications, etc.), the low level of competitiveness of domestic teachers in both the domestic and international educational space is also highlighted. Mathematics teacher competitiveness is a professionally significant quality that ensures demand in the educational market. It is characterized by the desire to compete with others and the ability to realize the pedagogical potential due to a high level of formation of general and professional competencies (mathematical, pedagogical, methodical knowledge and skills, personal traits), determined by the competitive environment. By M.Porter's «five forces» model, five components of the competitiveness of mathematics teachers are identified, which determine the formation of the following components: «Competition in the field» – mathematical knowledge, skills and abilities, personally significant traits; «Threat of new participants» – professional focus, digital literacy, multicultural competence, leadership skills; «The threat of changing services» – professional mobility, creativity, research skills, pedagogical reflection; «Suppliers» – high level of education, ability to make decisions, work in a team, continuous learning, entrepreneurship; «Buyers» – the formation of humanistic values, readiness to use productive forms and methods in working with students and parents.

Managing academic mobility as a tool of «soft power» in contemporary China

The paper deals with the phenomenon of academic mobility in the context of internationalization of higher education in modern China. It focuses on such problems as specificity of Chinese approach to internationalization of higher education and functioning of academic mobility in the context of transformation of international educational space. It is shown that the image of the future educated China is based on the traditional project of “Great Unity” society (Datong society in Confucian concept of social ideal). At the same time the idea of a united humanity is not exceptionally Chinese, but has deep historical roots and a universal nature. Cautious about the supranational extrapolation of this idea, modern China is nevertheless expanding international cooperation and strengthening cross-national contacts, using cross-border academic mobility as one of its “soft power” tools.

The study of disciplines during the professional training of future teachers of technology and drawing which form the appropriate level of psychological, pedagogical and methodological training is extremely important. The proposed material will be of interest to teachers of higher educational institutions in the field of labor training, technology and drawing.

МЕЖДУНАРОДНОЕ ВЫСШЕЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ: ПРОБЛЕМЫ КАЧЕСТВА И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ

Currently, characterized by unprecedented anti-Russian sanctions restrictions, issues of functioning of all spheres of human activity are acute. The sphere of higher education was no exception. The agenda of economic and educational forums increasingly includes issues of ensuring the quality of higher education in the context of globalization processes, discussing the prospects for the implementation of international educational programs, analyzing the current state of international student mobility and ways to expand it to cover new areas of education, compliance of higher education with global humanistic values. In the context of globalization processes, quality issues in the field of higher education are of particular importance due to a group of factors, including: the massization of higher education, the development of cross-border education and the expansion of its opportunities due to the new forms and technologies of education, the popularization and expansion of the availability of international educational programs, the strengthening of competition of educational organizations for foreign applicants as sources of funding, etc. The effect of these factors in the international educational space, on the one hand, requires compliance with uniform standards, which include European standards and recommendations for quality assurance of higher education in the European Space (ESG–QA), on the other – may lead to a decrease in educational standards, including under the influence of external factors of the so-called insurmountable strength. We are talking about the impact of COVID-19 and the escalating geopolitical situation on the stability of international partnerships and the preservation of the principles formalized in a series of global documents on quality assurance of higher education, and the enduring universal values.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR MEASURING THE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS WORK

Today, the old methods of management are transformed into qualitatively new achievements of management science. So, the question of the effectiveness of management of educational institutions is still open. One of the important areas of management reform is the use of the latest management technologies, such as information systems that are successfully integrated with proven management methods. The source of information for determining qualitative and quantitative indicators of the work of higher education institutions (HEI) should include special systems and services, which will provide the processing of indicators of scientific, educational, economic activities, etc. Indicators and criteria for their evaluation should be clearly defined and approved, and, accordingly, special algorithms and approaches to their calculation and analysis should be developed. Accordingly, the aim of the article is to suggest algorithms and tools for measuring quantitative and qualitative indicators of the work of HEI, and their implementation on the example of Kherson State University. In particular, the method of rating evaluation of research and teaching staff was considered in the paper. The main tools and technologies for automating the monitoring of research and educational personnel (REP) activities, as well as examples of their use, were described. The main feature of the described approach is the ability to ensure the automation and transparency of the main business processes of the HEI. Developed software, information, and analytical systems allow for assessing the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the HEI's work, taking into account its visibility in the domestic and international scientific and educational space, which includes the results of scientific activities (indicators for WoS, Scopus, etc.), educational activities indicators of graduates 'success, management of students' research works, student surveys, etc.).

METHODOLOGY OF PARTNER BENCHMARKING DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL JOINT EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS BASED ON AGILE METHODOLOGY

An analysis of the use of the benchmarking approach in the modern field of education was conducted, the need for the use and implementation of benchmarking in Ukrainian educational institutions was substantiated. The benchmarking benchmarks of the educational institution have been formed. The stages of assessing one's own potential for international cooperation in the form of an algorithm for conducting a benchmarking analysis of the organization of educational services are given. An algorithm for choosing a partner for international cooperation by an educational institution is proposed, which helps to select partners according to the given criteria, formed on the basis of information about insufficient resources, dynamic abilities and competences of both the educational institution and the potential partner. Based on the results of the research, the method of partner benchmarking in the development of international compatible educational projects was formulated in the form of a typology of business models, which is an assessment of the ability of the educational institution to integrate into the international educational space.

Доминирование национальных систем высшего образования на международном рынке

The theory of economic dominance in a multilevel economy, developed by Blokhin A.A. and Lomakin-Rumyantsev I.V., has been actively tested by researches on different markets since 2019 — the distribution of players in the markets allows to formulate different strategies for their development. This article is a development of studies devoted to the study of competition in the education market and presents the result of economic dominance of national higher education systems in the international market. This research aims to analyze the subject areas of social sciences and management, for further identifying dominance in the QS ranking. The sample consists of 58 QS subject rankings for 2018–2021. The main instrument is the SV-matrix (strength/variety). The analysis outlines areas of subject ratings where there is dominance of national educational systems and characterizes its level. In addition, an interpretation of the situation when constructing the SV matrix, where Lind index shows boundary values when determining dominant group size. The SV matrix gives valid results and allows both qualitatively and quantitatively assessing the positions of countries in educational rankings. Analysis using SV-matrix made it possible to identify 8 out of 15 subject areas, in which there is clear dominance and determined positions of Russian universities relative to the dominant group. The hypothesis of United States presence in the dominant group in most areas of social sciences and management was confirmed, however, several subjects were defined, where the higher education system of anther countries were in the lead. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the proposal and testing of a method for assessing the level of dominance of national educational systems in the international education market. The SV matrix allows to analyze the positions of different countries in the international educational space, both in dynamics and in statics (to assess the level of competitiveness of national educational systems); to understand theoretically the level of differentiation of national educational systems in certain subject ratings; to assess the concentration (barriers to enter the rating) and the strength of competition (how strongly the players differ) of subject areas.

Economic-managerial Problems of Higher Education in Georgia

The study of economic-managerial problems of higher education has the special importance for the effective functioning and management of the society and the state because without researching mentioned problems it will be impossible to solve these problems. When thinking about finding the ways to rectify the situation, we encounter two major issues: financial and substantive. In order to improve the quality of higher education, along with increasing funding, it is important to know where and how increased funding will be spent. In my opinion, at least three conditions are required to increase quality: internationalization, standardization and hierarchization of education. Internationalization implies the need to integrate the Georgian higher education system into the international educational space. For this, the teaching process needs to be closer to the international standards. One of the important components of higher education reform is the hierarchization, division of areas according to the priority. This implies not only assessing the level of existing academic staff but also identification areas where a small developing country can offer a student international level education. The article offers recommendations about the ways to solve the economic-managerial problems of higher education. Keywords: Education, economic-managerial problems, state, efficient functioning, management.

Некоторые проблемы использования сетевой формы реализации образовательных программ в образовательных организациях высшего образования

Currently, to improve the quality of training of students, educational institutions of higher education use a network form of educational programs’ implementation. The use of the considered form by universities in practical activities led to the emergence of new problems and issues related to the process of educational activities within the framework of network interaction. This study aims to examine the existing problems in the legal regulation of network forms of educational programs’ implementation and propose ways to solve them in order to create advanced educational programs that allow training highly professional specialists through the use of the resources of several organizations. To reach this aim, the author analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of using a network form of education. On the one hand, there are numerous administrative barriers that prevent the use of a network form of educational programs; on the other hand, various practices of a successful implementation of network programs in universities are cited as an example. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the use of educational programs by universities in a network form on the development of regions. The author examines issues related to the licensing of educational activities of implemented network programs. The absence of a license to carry out educational activities by a participant organization that is a subject of economic activity does not allow it to implement part of the network program, share the skills and experience in the competence being mastered with students, but determines their participation in network training only through the provision of resources. As a way out of this situation, the author proposes to consider the possibility of implementing part of the network program without a license and make appropriate changes to the legislation. The author also touches upon problems in the field of international cooperation, considers the question of whether a foreign educational organization can be a basic organization, correlates these concepts with each other, emphasizes the need to integrate Russian higher education into the international educational space in terms of using online forms of implementing educational programs. The author also dwells on the problem of using state property in the implementation of network programs. She notes that, for the effective introduction of network programs into the activities of educational organizations, special attention should be paid to the issues of free use of property, to a detailed elaboration of the procedure for its use in regulatory legal acts. The study uses general scientific methods of cognition: a comparative legal method, methods of deduction, induction, analysis and synthesis. The result of the work is proposals for improving the current legislation regulating the issues of the network form of implementation of educational programs.

Foreign students in russian universities

The purpose of this work is related to sociological study of adaptive and motivational aspects of educational activities of Chinese students in Russia to determine the trends and prospects of Chino-Russian cooperation in the field of higher education. This problem is relevant, since it is a part of the range of issues related to improving competitiveness of national higher education system of the Russian Federation and its attractiveness for foreign (in particular, Chinese) students, the number of which, in many respects, determines the rating and status of the university in the international educational space. The methodological framework of research is formed by a complex of conceptual ideas and theoretical approaches, among which the most actively used ones were the theory of global transformations multiplicity, the concepts of globalization and internationalization, which allowed us to consider Chino-Russian cooperation in the coordinates of a particular type of global transformation, considering the dual nature of globalization in the sphere of education. The study identified some positive achievements in the field of Chino-Russian educational cooperation, as well as the factors that negatively affect the assessment of Russian higher education by Chinese students. There were identified the reasons for adaptation difficulties of this category of students in conditions of Russian realities. It is concluded that the development prospects for educational Chino-Russian cooperation (from the point of view of increasing the attractiveness of Russian higher education in the eyes of Chinese citizens) depend on certain changes, both of conceptual and organizational character.

Анализ подходов оценки качества результатов подготовки студентов в системе профессионального образования за рубежом
