Digital maturity as an indicator of the success of the university’s digital transformation

The article highlights the problems of achieving digital maturity by higher education organizations. The relationship between the categories “digital transformation” and “digital maturity” is shown. An overview of methods for determining the level of digital maturity of organizations is presented. It is argued that digital transformation is associated with a clear understanding of the goals of any digital transformation and the ability to assess the effectiveness of changes. On the example of the Kutafin University (MSAL), the experience of digital transformation of the university is comprehended. It is shown how, through the adoption of local regulations and the formation of an innovative infrastructure, the transition from digital literacy to digital maturity is being made in MSAL. It is emphasized that in order to carry out successful digitalization, it is necessary to implement a set of interrelated measures, such as the introduction of advanced information and telecommunications technologies, the development of digital infrastructure, the revision of approaches to education management, the change of higher school employees themselves. Based on a sociological study, the degree of awareness of students about the normative consolidation of the category “digital maturity”, its content and scope of application was revealed.

Which mode of governance for the innovation cities of Moroccan public universities?

AbstractThe project to create innovation cities is part of the national innovation strategy developed since 2009, and of Law No. 01.00 on the organization of higher education which allowed to adopt judicious programs relating to the valorization of research and innovation within the universities. Therefore, to promote the valorization of research and to make society benefit from its results, various initiatives have been initiated. These initiatives gave birth to the Innovation Cities project. This project was designed around the axes of governance, regulatory framework, infrastructure, financing, support, and talent mobilization. Nevertheless, despite the results obtained, in terms of innovation and valorization of scientific research and also in terms of development of the entrepreneurial culture, difficulties hinder the management and governance of these complex ecosystems. As a result, the expected objectives could not be reached. The problematic posed is to question the difficulties encountered which are more related to the lack of adequate governance mode for this kind of structures allowing them to be able to release energies and promote innovation. In which, we will, in the first step, identify the difficulties due to the lack of efficient governance, and in the second step, show the different possible scenarios, proposed within the framework of the European Erasmus+ INSITES project “Institutionalization of Innovation and Knowledge Transfer Structures,” in view of the requirement of the missions of the cities of innovation and of the regulation in force, to implement an enlightened, transparent and quality governance.

Leader Activity Fundamentals Module in the Curricula of Teacher Training

The article deals with the issues of training counselors in higher education organizations in accordance with the letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated 08.08.2017 no. TS-56/09 “On the inclusion of the program in the main professional educational programs” Leader Activity Fundamentals module. The author of the article focuses on the content of the professional standard “Specialist involved in the organization of the activities of the children’s collective (leader)” dated December 25, 2018 no. 840n and points out the insufficiency of the introduction of the Leader Activity Fundamentals academic discipline into the curricula of bachelors, since the theoretical overview course is clearly insufficient for training in the profession of counselor and one discipline it is not able to solve the problem of high-quality training of the required employee of the children’s camp. According to the author, the Leader Activity Fundamentals module is integrative in nature and should include several disciplines combined in thematic blocks, mandatory of which are: theoretical, practical and scientific and methodological. The author expresses an opinion on strengthening practical orientation in the training of leaders (introduction to the curricula of a game workshop and a methodological course, an instructional gathering, summer pedagogical (leader) practice as part of professional training), on cooperation with potential employers (remote meetings to prepare for work under the program of changing a specific camp, consultations on employment issues, preparation of methodological material, etc.). The scientific and methodological block of training camp counselors should be represented by writing a research paper (term paper, final qualifying work) and passing the final certification (differentiated credit).

Value and Semantic Grounds for Obtaining Education in the Postgraduate Course of the National Research University

The article deals with a range of issues related to motivation factors for admission to graduate school and behavioral reactions in the process of studying under the programs of scientific specialties in a modern national research university. Using the example of the implementation of postgraduate programs in political sciences at a technical university, the key motives of young specialists to continue their studies at the university are revealed. The features of the motivational and value sphere of graduate students mastering the training curriculum and performing the tasks of research work are determined. The reasons for expulsion from graduate school, the reasons for failure in the educational program, as well as the motives for frequent academic leave are analyzed. The article presents arguments in favor of the author's hypothesis about the need to develop postgraduate studies in the humanities and social sciences in technical universities. Political science education contributes not only to the conscious choice of the profession of an engineer or a highly qualified specialist for state and municipal service bodies. A young researcher gets the opportunity to recognize the value-semantic grounds for working in the organization of higher education. A potential high school teacher develops stable ideas about pedagogical ethics, about the psychology of communication with students of different age groups, about the inadmissibility of forms of deviant behavior when performing professional tasks.

Reviving the sociology of organizations in higher education: the case of how global university rankings influence the strategic management of Canadian universities

ABSTRACT This article aims to counter the prevailing pessimism about the state of organizational sociology by examining the contributions of this line of inquiry to higher education studies. It contends that, despite sociologists’ concerns over the usefulness of organizational sociology for informing comprehension of today's organizations, this subfield of sociology continues to hold tremendous promise for higher education scholars interested in understanding how and why higher education institutions behave the way they do, and with what consequences. I focus on organization theory. I first review the contributions of this theoretical lens to higher education studies, commenting on current problems and future prospects. Then, drawing on a study of the influence of global university rankings on the strategic management of Canadian universities, I demonstrate the explanatory power of organizational frameworks regarding the dynamics of change occurring at universities due to a major issue in contemporary higher education as rankings. Special attention is given to resource dependence theory and network influences. I conclude with the suggestion that given evidence of epistemic authority, organization theory provides valuable investigative tools for exploring the inner workings of universities and mobilizing these fundamental organizations to address fundamental sociological concerns such as power, social justice, and sustainable development.

ПРОФОРИЕНТАЦИОННАЯ РАБОТА СО СТАРШЕКЛАССНИКАМИ В ИРКУТСКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ: ПРАКТИКА И АНАЛИЗ РЕЗУЛЬТАТИВНОСТИ

Introduction. The rapid transformation of the human capital market in Russia makes the professional self-determination of high school students especially important. This paper studies approaches and methodologies in the area of professional self-determination at the state level and the experience of practical implementation of career guidance programs of various forms and scales conducted both at the regional level and in Russia. Regional authorities, higher education organizations, and employing companies are involved in organizing these programs. High school students have access to a wide range of opportunities to learn about careers: the Ticket to the Future platform, online testing services Profilum, Proforientator.ru, and project work programs in the educational centers Okean and Sirius. Profnavigator Online is rightfully considered to be the leader of occupational diagnostics on a federal level; in the Irkutsk region it is known as PROF.Navigator. The region’s practice-oriented programs that deserve special attention are Ticket to the Future, Ladder of Professional Tests, IRNITU Network Lyceum, and Samsung IT School. The Purpose of the study is to search for constructive solutions to the problems in the system of career guidance at the regional level. In order to achieve the goal, the following tasks are to be completed: to review the theoretical aspects of professional self-determination; to summarize the practice of career guidance in the Irkutsk region; to assess the effectiveness of career guidance activities; and to characterize the actions and interrelationships of actors (organizers of career guidance activities). In the process of work, the main methods were analysis, synthesis, and statistical sampling method. The results of the monitoring of the regional system of career guidance conducted in 2021- 2022 indicate the authors’ disunity in selecting work forms and methods, which leads to their low overall performance. Scientific novelty. The analysis of career guidance practices in the Irkutsk region is presented for the first time for the region. The pattern of interaction between the actors of career guidance activity is described. It is proposed to overcome the problems of the career guidance system by creating networked educational clusters of end-to-end career guidance by sectors of the economy around resource organizations. Conclusion. The authors believe that the main reason for the situation at hand is the hetero¬geneity of objectives. Regional structures are more interested in the coverage and scale of activities to the detriment of the quality of the activities and the motivation of participants. Organizations of higher education are primarily interested in competitive recruitment during the admission campaign regardless of the interests of the applicants themselves. The limitations of this approach lead to a significant dropout rate among those admitted “by chance”. Enterprises, as customers of future specialists, have the resources and motivation to attract young people into the profession, but they also need the tools to interact with graduates.

Подходы к определению значимости и результата согласованности интересов сторон в системе высшего образования

Organizations of higher education cannot only rely on education and science as missions in isolation from their alignment with the specific needs of the environment and the formation of a programmable contribution to the development of society. The socio-economic mission of an educational organization is gaining importance. Interaction with a range of stakeholders for the university should have an effect significant at the level of issues of support for the development and security of the region, take into account the goals and values of interaction in the scientific and educational process. The article actualizes the block of university parameters in ensuring the socio-economic development of the region by the example of promoting the employment of graduates, presents a model for the formation and implementation of an interaction program aimed at strategically promoting the employment of graduates to vacant positions of regional employers, thus preserving graduates in the region, presents an approach to determining the integral result of the coherence of the interests of stakeholders within the framework of programs.

The Influence of Informal Organizations on the Construction of Aesthetic Education in Universities from the Perspective of Group Mechanics

With the development of society and the overall development of human needs, the state has proposed that the education system should form a balanced situation of “five educations”. In recent years, the work of aesthetic education has been greatly developed in colleges and universities, which cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of multiple subjects. The role of informal organizations in higher education organizations in the construction of aesthetic education cannot be ignored. Informal organizations are formed on the basis of the emotions, hobbies and interests of their members. The concept of human-centred aesthetic education urgently requires the dissemination and communication of informal organizations. This paper thus analyses how informal organizations influence the promotion of aesthetic education in universities based on Kurt Lewin’s theory of group mechanics, aiming to provide universities with a new perspective to study the management of university education, deepen the process of university governance system and governance capacity, and then promote the overall high-quality development of universities.

Query Execution Performance Analysis of Column-Oriented Database in Dashboard

In making reports or dashboards from operational data, problems often occur in the query process with low speed in responding to an output, causing the server to experience overload. This condition often occurs in companies or higher education organizations in managing academic data. This condition can be improved by optimizing the database server by integrating relational databases with column-oriented databases to speed up query responses and save development costs. Based on the experiments that had been carried out, column-oriented has succeeded in optimizing with a significant difference in query execution time and the server does not crash.

Editorial: Productivity and Internationalization Approaches in Higher Education

The Covid-19 health crisis has had a remarkable impact on higher education. In the post-Covid era, many scholars and institutions have been reviewing the impact of this health crisis on higher education. Although some scholars use the statement of “going back” to the usual conduct of pre-covid, the crisis left a remarkable impact on the structural and functional characteristics of these institutions. Internationalization and digitalization are two topics highlighted in the post-Covid discussions. Early reports on the impact of Covid-19 on internationalization and digitalization suggest that higher education organizations will experience various pressures to adopt new modes of operation and delivery of services. In any case, higher education is likely to remain a vibrant field in the effort to find pathways to a changing future. In this issue of the Journal, studies investigating different topics related to governance and policy issues in higher education are presented.

Analysis of the feasibility of the axiomatic principles of statistical physics

Analyzing scientific works and researches in this article, we were convinced that today, in accordance with modern requirements, there is still a need to find a solution to the methodological features of teaching statistical physics in higher educational institutions, the methods and ways of organizing educational activities that form the interest of students. In order to realize the possibilities of statistical physics in higher educational institutions, the purpose, methods and content of teaching it as a subject should be interdisciplinary in accordance with the knowledge and skills of the student in special subjects. Therefore, in the creation of a methodological system of teaching statistical physics in a professional direction in higher education organizations, it is important to create opportunities for the development of visual intuitive foundations and practical orientation, to accept concepts, conclusions and problems related to the future profession of the learner with ways of thinking, while implementing interdisciplinary communication with special subjects. Thus, the contradiction between the need to teach statistical physics in a professional direction and its unsatisfactory solution in practice has become the reason for the relevance of the research topic. In order to train future professionals, the content of the statistical physics course should be selected in the direction of forming the methodological skills necessary for the future professional activities of the students. All of the above was the basis for choosing the research topic "Creating the interest of students by using innovative methods in the teaching of the statistical physics course" and determining its importance. The purpose of the work: to improve the teaching management system at different stages of the lesson, to strengthen the motivation to study, to increase the quality of education and training, to increase the level of preparation of students in the subject of statistical physics.

Uloga interpretacijskog procesa u razvoju emocionalnog odgovora na povredu psihološkog ugovora / The Role of The Interpretation Process in The Development of An Emotional Response to A Psychological Contract Breach

The psychological contract is a perceived agreement on mutual obligations and resource exchange, which in the academic work context will first be recognized in the relationship between teaching staff and higher education organizations. This is an implicit contract formed based on given or just implied promises, which the parties in the relationship do not have to be fully aware of. However, such a contract will guide their mutual behaviour, and a number of individually and organizationally relevant outcomes will depend on its (un) fulfilment. Since the concept of a psychological contract is relatively new and unexplored in the Bosnian academic context, this paper sought to answer the question: Does the perception of a psychological contract breach lead to an emotional reaction to that breach, and under what conditions? Following the identified problem, the correlation between the perceived breach of the psychological contract and the emotional reaction to the breach, and the moderating influence of the interpretive process (defined through attribution of causes, perception of fairness and perception of organizational politics) on this relationship was examined. The results suggest that in a sample of Bosnian academic staff it is justified to say that the correlation between the perceived psychological contract breach and emotional response to that breach will be stronger if the staff members perceive interactional fairness in the organization to be high. The academic staff’s perception of the presence of political behaviour in the organization, as well as the way they attribute the causes of the psychological contract breach, probably does not have a significant impact on their interpretation of the psychological contract breach.

Capacity and willingness in higher education accreditation: when incentives are not enough

ABSTRACT Accreditation as a form of quality assurance has spread worldwide. As a result, the public and research interests have targeted the policies that developed agencies and procedures and the responses and effects of accreditation on higher education organizations and programs. However, studies on accreditation have not analyzed two core aspects: the capacity and willingness of the accreditation agencies and the programs to perform their functions. Through qualitative interviews with key stakeholders in the regulatory agencies and universities, this study explores the issue of capacity and willingness in higher education accreditation by studying the functioning of an accreditation agency in Argentina and the responses of organizations and programs to the accreditation process. The results show that three key factors may affect accreditation monitoring, enforcement, and compliance: administrative burden, inadequate resources, and information availability. The findings are relevant beyond the national context and have research and policy implications.
