THE ROLE OF LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN THE GLOBALIZATION PROCESS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

The article substantiates the expediency of globalization of higher education institutions andthe role of foreign language learning in this process. Four main justifications for globalization areoutlined: academic, socio-cultural, political and economic. Current trends in the internationalization ofhigher education in European countries have been identified, and aspects of the institute’s activitiesrelated to the development and implementation of the globalization strategy have been investigated.Factors determining its successful implementation and factors hindering this process are determined. Theimpact of globalization on the competitiveness of Ukrainian universities and the professional risksassociated with a low level of language proficiency are described. The role of the institute’s languagepolicy in the implementation of the internationalization strategy is defined. The regulatory and legaldocumentation in the field of development and reform of higher education is studied. The prerequisitesfor reforming the English language teaching methodology are considered. The method of globalization ofhigher education in foreign language classes is proposed. It is concluded that the process of globalization,the main goal of which is to improve the quality of education and scientific activity, has become thestrategic direction of higher educational institutions. In this regard, considerable attention is paid tosupporting the provision of pedagogical conditions for the formation of all intercultural competences ofstudents. The results of the empirical study indicate that the key areas of activity of universities in thecontext of internationalization are the development of students’ academic knowledge, mobility, creationof joint educational programs with foreign universities, development of international scientific activity. Itis found that the main factors that stimulate these processes are the development and monitoring of theimplementation of the globalization strategy. The problems of implementing this strategy, as before, areof a financial nature and are associated with a low level of foreign language proficiency and insufficientmotivation of students and teachers to participate in academic mobility programs and internationalscientific projects.

ИСТОРИЯ СОЗДАНИЯ И РАЗВИТИЯ КАФЕДРЫ ФИЗИЧЕСКОГО ВОСПИТАНИЯ АЛТАЙСКОГО ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО УНИВЕРСИТЕТА. ПОСВЯЩАЕТСЯ 50‑ЛЕТНЕМУ ЮБИЛЕЮ УНИВЕРСИТЕТА

The article is devoted to the history of development and formation of the Departmentof Physical Education of the Altai State University. The process of development of the departmentis inextricably linked with the process of becoming a university, the first classical university inthe Altai Territory. On January 31, 1973, the bureau of the regional committee of the CPSU, theexecutive committee of the regional Council of Workers' Deputies, adopted a joint resolution «Onthe organization of the Altai State University», which fixed the fundamental provisions related to thecreation of the university. The creation of the university, as well as the creation of the department ofphysical education, was complicated by the fact that ASU was created on an independent basis, i. e.the creation of the material base was to take place as the young university grew. The development ofthe sports base of the department, as well as the material base of the university, began almost fromscratch. For the organization of the university, an unprecedented time for the post-war history ofhigher education was allotted — only three months. At the end of May, a rector was appointed, andin September it was already necessary to start classes.The Department of Physical Education was created among the first departments, which built theeducational process with students, on sports facilities provided at the disposal of the Department onlease terms. The process of creating the sports base of the university began in 1975 and until 1995,the department of physical education, first under the leadership of Dmitry Yakovlevich Zvyagin,and since 1977, headed by the head of the department Petr Yakovlevich Dugnist, with their ownhands, with the help of teachers of the department and students of the university built a ski base, arecreation center “Lake Krasilovo”, a sports hall in the annex building on Socialist Avenue, a sportsand recreation complex. In parallel with the construction, the department solved the issues of theformation of the discipline “physical education”, developed its personnel potential. Much attentionwas paid to the development of sports at the university. Since 1976, and this in the complete absenceof their own sports facilities, students, staff and teachers of the university have actively participatedin city, regional and regional competitions, literally gnawing prizes and championship titles.The article analyzes the stages of development of the department, considers the main directionsof its activities, presents the results of many years of experience of the department. The study usedmaterials on the creation of the university by the first rector of ASU V.I. Neverov, articles andpublications of newspapers: “For Science”, “Altaiskaya Pravda”, “Altai sport”, materials from thearchive of the Altai State University, memoirs of teachers of the department, who have been workingpractically since the foundation of the department.

Social services needs of students-IDP of institutions of higher education in Kharkiv in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war

The article is devoted to identifying the needs of internally displaced students of Kharkiv's institutions of higher education in social services in the conditions of the large-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. It was found that in the conditions of large-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine, the largest part of IDPs in 2022 comes from the Kharkiv region; higher education and school students make up a quarter of all internally displaced persons (IDP). Almost all state institutions of higher education (21 out of 24), some student dormitories in Kharkiv were damaged to one degree or another. The results of a pilot study conducted by the authors in November 2022 and covering 83 IDP students of Kharkiv institutions of higher education are presented. It was found that 74 respondents believe that they are in difficult life circumstances, and 9 need the provision of social services to prevent difficult life circumstances. It was found that among the urgent social services needed by the respondents in the conditions of the Russian- Ukrainian war, employment, socio-economic services and psychological assistance dominate. The second level of needs consists of the need to provide housing, social-medical, legal and social-pedagogical services. Almost a third of the respondents (29 people) whose houses were destroyed were identified. Some respondents have difficulties with registration due to lost documents. There are IDP students who need humanitarian aid (food, medicine, clothing). Among the problems with ensuring the rights of IDP students to educational services, in particular, preferential study conditions and free use of dormitories remain. Therefore, in the conditions of a large-scale war, obtaining educational services, unfortunately, ceased to be the main priority for IDP students of Kharkiv institutions of higher education. There is a justified need to increase the number of social services, systematic social work with the specified category of students. Despite being in difficult life circumstances, a significant number of respondents (57 people) expressed a desire to benefit society, to participate in public activities, which indicates the growth of solidarity in society.

RESEARCH ISSUES IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION FIELD IN TIMES OF CHALLENGED GLOBALISATION

The article examines the deliberation of higher education (HE) scholars and practitioners on research issues in the HE field, which has taken into account the complexity of current trends of deglobalisation and changing characteristics of globalisation. More precisely, the article offers a systematic review of the ideas developed by focus group participants (FGPs) from different parts of the world while debating internationalisation, globalisation and Europeanisation with respect to the field of HE. These FGPs agreed that: 1) theoretical definitions used by academics and practitioners are currently socially constructed in a biased way (in favour of the Anglo-North American point of view); 2) academic research (notably conceptual definitions) must better take into account the issues contextually and dynamically across time and space; and 3) that HE research is in the stage when a more theoretically refined and a methodologically stronger new global wave of empirical research is required for further advancement of theorising and practitioners’ work. Keywords: higher education, methods, theory, definitions, globalisation, internationalisation, Europeanisation

НАПРЯМИ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ КОНКУРЕНТОСПРОМОЖНОСТІ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ В СУЧАСНИХ УМОВАХ

The article is devoted to the study of issues related to the competitiveness of higher education in modern conditions. The essence of education is outlined, its role and contribution to the establishment of a sustainable relationship between it and scientific and innovative activities are clarified. The definition of the category "competitiveness of higher education" is formulated, the approaches to its understanding are highlighted, the levels of competitiveness in the higher education system are highlighted, and the relationship between them is established. The main components of the higher education system, elements of its internal and external environment are clarified. Therefore, a set of economic, political, socio-cultural, political and demographic factors exert a significant complex influence on the competitiveness of higher education, which indicates the need to take intoaccount such systemic influence and understand the importance of the educational sphere in social development. The current state of higher education development is characterized by the transformational conditions of functioning and development and the need for its adaptation to the processes of globalization and digitalization. Currently, the domestic system of higher education is dealing with such challenges as problems of financing the field and employment of graduates, the formation of fair conditions for access to education, the need to improve the qualifications of workers in the field of education, and the insufficient level of international cooperation and collaboration. Modern trends in the development of higher education include the following: an increase in the number of models of scientific production and the intensification of the participation of higher education institutions in commercial scientific projects and programs due to a decrease in the level of investment and financing in the field ofhigher education, an increase in the amount of international mobility of applicants and teachers, the emergence and development of new types international partnership. The factors affecting the level of competitiveness of higher education in modern conditions are outlined: demographic, socio-cultural, economic, political and technological. The main challenges and trends in the development of higher education were studied and highlighted, on the basis of which the main directions for increasing the competitiveness of higher education in modern conditions were formulated.

Fundamental Science, Technological Innovation, and Business. A Brief History of Their Interrelation

The paper considers the major theoretical concepts of the interrelation between higher education systems, science, technological system, and business in creating and disseminating innovations. The purpose of the paper is to consider motivations of the main actors of these systems and problems of interaction between them. Each of such systems creates its own institutions and types of organizations based on their missions. Initially, science had minor effect on creating and disseminating innovations, while higher education and scientific activities were closely linked to each other in European universities. Along with the spread ofhigher education, the links between science and the development of technology are becoming closer because of wider opportunities for information dissemination and appearance of new relevant institutions. It was the state who played a special role in the formation of our modern innovation system that brought new problems to the development of science and business. However, it is business who would play a main role in the creation of an effective innovation system. The development of science requires new subject areas, staff rotation, and discussions, as well as to enlighten the public.

ENSURING GENDER EQUALITY AND DEMOCRATIC TRANSFORMATIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS OF UKRAINE ACCORDING TO THE OBJECTIVES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT : GENDER PORTRAIT OF PRYDNIPROVSKA STATE ACADEMY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE

Formulation of the problem. Ukraine's accession to the global democratic processes of recognition ofequal rights and opportunities for everyone within the global process of sustainable development has launched aninclusive process of adapting the Sustainable Development Goals and establishing strategic frameworks for Ukraine'snational development until 2030. The actualization of the policy of equal rights and opportunities for scientific andpedagogical community of higher education institutions of Ukraine has become especially important, in accordancewith the defined goals of sustainable development, contributed to updating gender portraits of educational institutions toassess the real situation in the institutions, priority issues, needs and interests of women and men, ways to ensure genderbalance and social justice. Higher education institutions of Ukraine form basic humanistic concepts, such as: genderculture, adherence to the principles of gender equality, prevention of gender discrimination in its various forms,involved in the development and implementation of promising programs to ensure gender equality, research on genderissues. The purpose. The aim is to study the observance of the principles of gender equality in education as a factor ofdemocratic transformation in higher education institutions of Ukraine, to create a gender portrait of Prydniprovska StateAcademy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, and on this basis to form the principles of gender equality and genderculture in PSACEA educational environment. Conclusions. Ukraine, which is developing inseparably from worlddevelopment and world political and gender thought, is approaching gender parity. The share of working women withhigher education and scientific degrees in the total number of employed in Ukraine is one of the largest in the world30.4% (3rd place). At the same time, although there are fewer and fewer purely male and purely female professions inUkraine and the world today, there are some gender distortions. In the field of education, medicine, culture, economy,mostly women work, and in industrial and technical fields − most men. The gender audit in the PSACEA confirms thistrend in some faculties, including economics, where women predominate among both students and teachers, in contrastto technical faculties, where men predominate. Among doctors of sciences, professors, especially in exact sciences, menstill prevail. The analysis of the gender portrait of PSACEA as a whole shows the relative gender parity, both in thestudent environment and among the teaching staff, in the leading structural units. As we can see, Ukraine, as ademocratic state, is gradually introducing the idea of egalitarianism in all spheres and, in particular, in the system ofhigher education, which characterizes the level of democratization of the state.

An Interview with Professor Jonathan King. Part II: on the Influence of Private Funding on Public Policy

In his many years of advocacy efforts from within academia, Professor King has centered the issue of nuclear weapons disarmament. His numerous initiatives within this realm emphasize that disarmament is fundamentally a question of funding, making clear that a society that prioritizes the funding of warfare does so at the cost of failing to fortify public health and healthcare. Dr. King currently chairs the Nuclear Disarmament Working Group of Mass Peace Action (MPA), a nonprofit that works to generate political momentum toward “a more just and peaceful U.S. foreign policy” [1]. At MPA, he has also helped to organize the Healthcare not Warfare campaign, which calls for the prioritization of tax dollars toward healthcare, housing, public transport, food security, and education through major cuts to the annual federal military budget. His career-long critique of the military-industrial complex stems from his days participating in Science for the People, an organization that emerged from the antiwar culture of the late 1960s to push the scientific establishment to approach science as a social endeavor by using scientific discoveries for the advancement of social causes rather than profit-making and warfare. His advocacy work critically examines the links between funding, public policy, and the types of societies that we build. In part II, we explore these issues with Professor King to gain his perspective on the relationship that funding (of higher education, lobbying, research) has with the social and scientific institutions that we configure.

The Multiple Waves of the African Academic Diaspora’s Engagement with African Universities

This article analyses the various historical phases in the evolution of theAfrican academic diaspora’s engagement to support the development ofhigher education in Africa. It examines the drivers and motivation for suchengagement and its implications for higher education development onthe continent. The data were derived from a critical review of secondarysources, supplemented by primary observations by one of the authors whois engaged in a programme that supports diaspora academics to travel toAfrican universities for engagement, as part of the third wave. The analysisof the secondary material shows that while the first wave of engagement wasdriven by a strong sense of Pan-Africanism at the global level and laid thefoundation for the establishment of universities across the continent, thesecond wave became trapped in Cold War rivalries that limited engagementand drove more academics from African universities into exile, mainly inEurope and North America, thus swelling the ranks of diaspora academics.The third wave has been caught up in a similar situation. While the forcesof globalisation and internationalisation that are driving this wave ofdiaspora engagement have the potential to support African universities toachieve international standards, they can equally undermine and mute thedesire for higher education decolonisation. The article recommends thatAfrican countries and higher education institutions should play a centralrole in designing the broad policy context that drives engagement and thatthe activities undertaken by African diaspora academics should align withnational higher education priorities.

Research Competitiveness among Higher Education Institutions in South East Asia: A Complex Adaptive System

Research competitiveness among higher education institutions is vital for knowledgegeneration and innovation. It leads to international recognition and tertiary educationquality that promotes the nation’s sustainable growth and development. This has led theresearchers to study the emergent behaviors of 63 higher education institutions in SoutheastAsia through the data sets provided by the University Ranking of Academic Performance(URAP) in 2018. Data taken from URAP were on articles, citation and total documents,article impact total, citation impact total, and international collaborations that werecategorized into three major dimensions through factor analysis of research productivity,research impact, and international collaboration. Cluster analysis was used to describe theASEAN universities by cluster based on their characteristics. These features were then usedas inputs to calculate the synergies. The study found that the research competitiveness ofhigher education institutions in Southeast Asia is high when there is an increase in researchimpact, research productivity, and international collaboration. As research productivityincreases, HEIs can establish more research collaboration. The researches made have tomake an impact in the fields of specialization to create more collaboration. The variationsof research competitiveness in HEIs from progressive countries in Southeast Asia are lessthan the variations in the HEIs of developing countries.

Higher education is one of the basic preconditions for sustainable development of the state and society, economic progress, ensuring the competitiveness of the state and sustainable development. The system of higher education is one of the most important mechanisms for the development of the state, the generation of intellectual capital, and the consolidation of professional potential. In the conditions of socio-economic, socio-cultural changes of the modern economic society, one of the challenges of higher education is the professional training of competitive specialists, ensuring the efficiency of competitive universities. The solution of this problem requires the improvement of the higher education system and continuous improvement of the processes. Alongside with the development of the higher education system, there are many challenges, such as the current trends of globalization in higher education, the growth of global competition, as well as the rapid development of information and communication technologies, which directly affect the internal and external environments of educational institutions. Implementing risk management to address these challenges and providing solutions to the problems are the effective operational mechanisms including the implementation of risk management system. The latter one allows to increase the efficiency of activities in key areas for universities, as well as the quality of educational and research services. The objective of this article is to research the content of ways to increase the effectiveness of risk management models at the RA universities in the context of the higher education system. The article clarifies and proposes the definition of academic risk and introduces a risk management model with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of risk management processes and clarifies the conceptual provisions for the application of that model.

Hoping for success, becoming a spiritual subject

Abstract This article focuses on the entanglement of trajectories of transnational education/work and religious conversion among Chinese overseas students who move to the UK before returning to China. In contrast to the existing literature on returnees where the gaze is only turned on highly prestigious schemes/trajectories of return, we look at those who become involved with Christian evangelical congregations and bible reading groups in response to a general state of disillusion with social beliefs of global competition and success. By drawing on ongoing ethnographic fieldwork in London and Beijing, we engage with literature on lived religion, migration and the care of the self through a sociolinguistic lens. We take pressures for successful return as a technology of hope that shaped our participants’ experiences of Christian conversion, and examine religious practices as support-based subject-transformation projects whereby our participants regulate their and others’ practices and feelings through daily semiotic activities as they operate within global spaces of higher education and the labour market. In so doing, we detail a complex interplay of self-transformation experiences, collective practices of refusal, and capitalist logics of market expansion.

The Drive and Nature of Internationalisation of Higher Education in Zambia

While internationalisation of higher education is a topical issue in globalscholarship, it attracts limited scholarly attention in the Zambian context.This article engages with the drive and nature of internationalisation ofhigher education in Zambia. Informed by a descriptive multi-site case studyof six higher education institutions (public and private) in which data werecollected through document analysis, interviews, and questionnaires, thearticle shows that internationalisation was largely motivated by economic,academic, and social and cultural factors. While limited and constrained,it was characterised by student and staff mobility, teaching and learningresources, and research and collaboration, with the context of Zambianhigher education shaping the motives for and nature of internationalisation.The article also argues that limited funding had implications for theinternationalisation of higher education in Zambia.
