Training Of Scientific Personnel Research Articles

Importance of general systems theory for scientific training

The article investigates the possibility of formation of creative competencies of students within the framework of scientific personnel training. It is noted that the available training courses within the framework of general training of scientific personnel allow to prepare a specialist who is able to use existing knowledge, but such a specialist is not trained in creativity. For the formation of creative competences it is necessary to take a training course of the general theory of systems, the purpose of which is to create a universal methodology of reliable representation of models of objects, based on the similarity (isomorphism) of the forms and laws of the universe. A detailed argumentation of the connection between creativity and holistic representation of being, the empirical manifestation of which is isomorphism, is given. The mechanism of knowledge translation within the framework of the mechanism of multisystem integration of human being, the mechanism of knowledge borrowing by human being from sensually comprehended forms of reality is investigated. It is stated that in order to meet the set tasks of cognition, a version of the general theory of systems, extended by the metaphysical component, is required. Further, starting from the metaphysical description of the foundations of the phenomenon of isomorphism observed in the practice of cognition, it is possible to form complete collections of patterns – typical forms, templates of objects and their relations. At present, the work on such a version of the general theory of systems is being finalized. The article concludes with a discussion of the problematics of teaching general systems theory. It emphasizes two components: the issue of positioning the training course "General Theory of Systems" in relation to other courses, as well as taking into account the specifics of the subject area of students in different specialties (directions).

Development of the State Scientific Certification System in Russia within the Independent Academic Degree Award Principles: Tools, Outcomes, and Future Steps

Introduction. In Russia, 2023 has been declared the Year of the Educator and Mentor, emphasizing the need for systematic measures in the field of personnel development for the research and development sector, primarily through postgraduate education. The necessity to ensure the stability of the research and development sector arises due to new objectives of the government policy on scientific and technological development, including training personnel in priority fields and enhancing science management. Over the past decade, scientific periodicals have extensively discussed ways to improve the effectiveness of postgraduate studies, given the decline in researcher numbers and dissertation defense rates, stricter requirements for dissertation councils, and their evolving operational forms. This article attempts to explore the role of mentorship in science within the context of the scientific and technological development objectives set by the country's leadership. The study highlights trends in scientific mentorship development and defines its functions based on survey data from research advisors working in Russian universities and research organizations. The study identifies contradictions that need to be addressed and proposes ways to improve the work and status of research advisors. Methods. The empirical foundation of this study is based on a sociological survey of postgraduate students and applicants' research advisors with a candidate or doctoral degree — academic, scientific, and administrative and managerial personnel of universities and research organizations (N = 3000). The survey included representatives from all broad scientific fields (natural, technical, humanities, social, medical, agricultural). The survey was conducted in 2023. Results and Discussion. The study results reveal that the main challenges research advisors face when working with applicants for academic degrees are organizational and competence-related, tied to the high level of bureaucratization in scientific personnel training, lack of flexibility, insufficient time allocation, and poor competencies of the participants in this process, especially those responsible for scientific and technological development. The study notes an increase in the complexity of the functional roles of research advisors due to an outdated workload distribution system that hinders full participation in scientific personnel training to meet current demands. Research advisors believe they require specialized training and describe the current state of scientific personnel training as being in crisis, necessitating significant changes. The study identifies several directions for modernizing higher qualification personnel training to address scientific and technological development challenges: aligning postgraduate training with practical experience (transitioning to professional and industrial postgraduate education in experimental mode for certain fields); creating individualized tracks for dissertation preparation (implementing individual programs); conducting internships at enterprises oriented at knowledge-driven economy and academic mobility improvement; appointing consultants from companies alongside research advisors, etc. The study results are discussed in terms of gender, age, job differences, and affiliation to a specific field of science. Conclusion. The study suggests that adopting a hybrid model of scientific mentorship, which combines elements of the traditional model (the research advisor being the sole mentor) and other models (developmental mentorship, multiple mentors, supportive mentorship) prevalent in international practice, could help address certain organizational and competence-related issues. To enhance the benefits of postgraduate studies for the high-tech sector, special attention should be paid to natural and technical sciences, interdisciplinary research, dissertations commissioned by the industry, organizations, or companies, joint supervision models, and strengthening ties between universities, research organizations, and the economy sector itself among others.

ANALYSIS OF INTERDISCIPLINARITY AND TRANSDISCIPLINARITY OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN THE GROUP "LAW" IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The paper discusses the problem of interdisciplinarity of education as a reflection of the interdisciplinarity of social and professional legal activity. The article considers the interdisciplinarity of university legal education, the formation of general education programs of various directions on an interdisciplinary basis. The special role of the choice of tools and mechanisms for achieving interdisciplinarity of educational programs is emphasized. The article analyzes the features of creating a system of evaluation of interdisciplinary educational programs in the group "Law" in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The author reveals the essence and place of transdisciplinary research in the higher school education system as an innovative direction in the training of scientific personnel. Transdisciplinarity is understood as the study of the subject (more precisely, the elements of the subject area) of one scientific discipline using the methods and terminology of another discipline; in other words, it is the study of the subject by representatives of one discipline of another. It is with interdisciplinarity that the successes of modern natural sciences can be linked, many areas of which (for example, nanoscience) do not "fit" into a narrow disciplinary framework. An interdisciplinary approach is best suited for studying complex, multi-level, heterogeneous, continuously changing institutional systems. The author of the article suggests some ways to implement the recommendations of the World Declaration on Higher Education for the 21st Century. In turn, in order for transdisciplinarity to become accessible and understandable to teachers and university students, it should be presented in the form of a scientific approach. In other words, transdisciplinarity should be an independent scientific direction with its own research subject and concept, transdisciplinary approach and language, units of measurement and models of reality, method of information analysis and methodology of risk analysis of decisions. In this context, transdisciplinarity will allow for the general scientific classification and systematization of disciplinary knowledge. After such processing, disciplinary knowledge becomes fully adapted to their joint use in solving research and practical problems of any complexity and complexity.

Государственная научно-техническая политика и высшая школа РФ в зеркале посланий Президента РФ Федеральному собранию

The article is focused on the problem of changing the priorities of the state science and technology policy of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the issues under consideration is especially growing in recent years in the context of sanctions pressure on the Russian economy in general and on its knowledge-intensive industries in particular. The authors use content analysis as a key method of research, the object of which are the texts of the last three presidential addresses to the Federal Assembly. As a result, the authors ascertain the increasing attention to the problems of domestic science, including fundamental science, on the part of the head of state, highlight the key emphases in the presidential messages on the issues of training of scientific personnel, fi-nancing of fundamental research, attracting young researchers to science, etc. Besides, the article highlights a number of problems that are objectively inherent in the domestic scientific and technological system, but are not directly mentioned in the presidential addresses.

Reputational Risks of the University in the New Conditions for the Development of Russian Higher Education

The conditions for the development of the modern world community are constantly changing and becoming more complex. They have a serious impact on the activities of organizations and enterprises in the sectors of the national economy. Higher education institutions are also under the influence of changing conditions. This can be seen via new serious problems and risks, including reputational ones that require special attention and response, and an effective state policy to support domestic universities. The purpose of the article is to consider the new conditions for the development of Russian universities and to determine the current reputational risks in their activities. The following results have been obtained within the study: the changed conditions for the Russian universities’ activities are assessed; the reputational risks of higher education institutions due to the latest operating conditions and development trends are identified, analyzed, and justified. The threats to the universities’ reputation appear due to the pressure of global sanctions and due to domestic problems: the deteriorating demographic situation, the transformation of the higher education system, the decline in the training of scientific personnel, the slowdown in the development of the academic profession, the spread of coronavirus infection, etc. Today’s state policy in the field of higher education creates prospects for further development of Russian universities, for increasing the efficiency of their activities and competitiveness in the educational services market, and, on this basis, for strengthening their reputation. The results of our research may be of interest to the heads of higher educational institutions, to their teaching staff, as well as to the scholars who study the problems of higher education management.

Personnel Problems in Domestic Science

The paper discusses the problems of scientific activity effectiveness, especially the quality of scientific personnel training, formation and maintenance of creative climate in research teams, and certification of scientific workers. The majority of the works devoted to the problems of domestic science development discuss the problems of low demand for the results of research and publication activity at the international level, aging of research teams and the problem of youth flow-in into science, material and financial support of scientific research, the structure of research and its compliance with the most demanded areas of knowledge and much more. Much less attention in the scientific literature is paid to the problem of the use of human capital in science, and usually the conclusions are reduced to the problem of insufficient funding of fundamental research. The article discusses the process of training of highly qualified researchers, argues that a special role in this is played by on-the-job training, justifies the need to create conditions for the flow of scientific personnel and extensive informal cooperation of scientists. It is shown from the standpoint of the theory of human capital and special interest groups that such mechanisms to a certain extent ensure the effectiveness of scientific research. Some decisions of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation regarding the stimulation of scientific research productivity are considered. It is shown that the approaches of the Ministry in this area are reduced to the orientation of scientists to achieve formal quantitative indicators, which ultimately leads to a decrease in the quality of R&D. Moreover, the focus on quantitative indicators leads to individualization of research work, reduction of incentives for creative communication and scientific criticism. Another problem is the formation of scientific nomenclature and the growing isolation of domestic science from the world. The tightening of criteria and the increasing complexity of scientific certification procedures on the basis of the same quantitative approaches and growing centralization in decision-making lead rather to the opposite result – the quality of researchers and the effectiveness of their work are declining. The general conclusion is that the domestic science needs actual decentralization both in the choice of research topics and in the personnel policy.

EUROPEAN TRADITIONS OF DOCTORS OF PHILOSOPHY TRAINING

Abstract. The article analyzes the peculiarities of scientific personnel training during the integration of national educational system into European educational space. It has been found that there is no single mechanism for PhD or Doctors of Science preparation in European countries, however there are certain traditions with similar or different characteristics. The article shows that the planned time is a significant aspect in the preparation of scientific work. In European countries, there is an uneven distribution of the achievements in the fields that have been awarded scientific degrees, namely, in these countries the number of natural sciences doctors is higher than social sciences doctors. It has been established that in various European countries a significant role is assigned to the policy of systematic definition of criteria for evaluating universities and quality of doctoral programs, when selection of candidates is carried out not only on the basis of examinations, but also taking into account recommendation letters, results of academic activity, topics of dissertation researches. Due to independent scientific activity, PhD students acquire a wide range of skills and knowledge. An important aspect is the application of reform approaches in the structured training of PhD students.

On the training of scientific personnel at post-graduate school

The possibilities of modern packages of symbolic mathematics for the scientific work of novice researchers in mathematics are discussed. Counterexamples for Schwartz theorem on the equality of mixed derivatives are considered. It is shown how you can use the graphical and computational capabilities of symbolic mathematics packages for their analysis so that novice researchers with the traditional engineering background in mathematics understand them. The article focuses on the problems of ambiguous perception of the PC user of three-dimensional graphic images on the monitor screen. This is important for operators who make decisions based on information obtained in a mixed virtuality or mixed reality environment. The analysis of counterexamples for the Schwartz theorem is carried out using both classical mathematics and possibilities of symbolic mathematics packages. It is shown that this assertion is not necessary. During the virtual demonstration of three-dimensional graphic objects, recommendations on their perception in terms of information environments are provided.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF ONTOLOGICAL MODELING OF INFORMATION-ANALYTICAL SYSTEM OF SCIENTIFIC PERSONNEL TRAINING

The development of science and education is now exposed to a huge impact of such civilizational challenges as: climate change, which is due to global warming, excessive and unjustified consumption of material goods, environmental pollution; pandemic COVID 19 and the emergence of new diseases and as the quintessence of human irresponsibility and callousness, activation on a global scale, and in Ukraine in particular, hybrid wars against universal values. This situation causes a massive shift to a remote format of the organization of scientific and educational (research) process, including the training of scientific personnel in higher education institutions and research institutes, using certain networked information and computer technologies and systems.
 Therefore, the purpose of the study, the current results of which are presented in the article, is to study the problems of applying the methodology of building information-analytical systems (hereinafter – IAS), in particular digital IAS, and to substantiate the basis and highlight in this context the main aspects of creating an ontological model of scientific personnel training (hereinafter – SPT) system as part of a single information space of scientific education. The author raises the problem of the need to apply transdisciplinary methodology of building digital information-analytical system of scientific personnel training in higher education institutions (hereinafter – HEI) and research institutes (hereinafter – RI) of Ukraine in a distance. Particular attention is paid to the ontological modeling of IAS components of the relevant organization of effective scientific and educational (research) process. Also basic definitions of the ontological approach to the training of scientific personnel disclosed. The article considers certain requirements for the design and functioning of intelligent educational systems and programs that provide adaptive information-analytical support of scientific personnel training on the basis of transdisciplinary, system, competence and ontological approaches. The analysis of a certain base of sources (researches and publications) is given. Thus, the methodological basis for building a digital information-analytical system in the specified context is presented and certain fragments of its ontological model are proposed. The presented approbation of applied aspects of the author's research is in the ascertaining stage. Subsequent results of analytical-synthetic and formative stages of the presented doctoral research are passing into the phase of experimental verification and the obtained data will be made public in the following publications of the author.

On How to Improve the Training and Certification of Scientific Staff

ABSTRACT Only highly qualified personnel, especially scientists and specialists, can develop new technologies and solve the complex challenges of a rapidly changing world. The article describes the current state of scientific higher education in Russia, identifies several salient functions of the education system (e.g., awarding degrees, providing scholarships, forming dissertation councils), and considers how these functions can be performed with greater efficiency in order to improve higher education and science. To increase the efficiency of graduate programs in Russia, the Higher Education Commission should be allowed to propose priority areas of scientific research, to assess Russia’s demand for scientists, and to influence scientific education according to the identified priorities. The network of postgraduate and doctoral programs, as well as the formation of dissertation councils, should be revised at the legislative level to better utilize existing resources and direct scientific progress. In addition, it is necessary to improve the public administration of science, to restructure the network of postgraduate and doctoral programs, and to provide government funds for the training of scientific personnel that are demanded by the scientific labor market.

Science in Libraries

The discussion reflects the points of view of doctors of sciences from the Russian State Library, the Russian National Library, the Saint-Peterburg State Institute of Culture and the State Public Scientific and Technical Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPSTL SB RAS), voiced on March 16, 2022 at the round table “Science in Libraries”. The round table was held within the framework of the international conference “Libway” held by the SPSTL SB RAS. The participants of the discussion answered the following questions: general assessment of the state of domestic library science, book science, bibliography; key areas of library science, book science and bibliography in the second decade of the 21st Century; problems of scientific personnel training; the place of library science and the prospects for its development within the new Nomenclature of scientific specialties. The discussion made it possible to single out the following problems: the importance of solving practice-oriented problems of library science and bibliography, and only then their theoretical analysis and generalization; work in the library field of specialists from other industries with a poor understanding of librarianship and bibliography issues; lack of educational and methodological materials for graduate students and their supervisors; a very small number of state-funded places in graduate school and the lack of material incentives to attract specialists to scientific research. In a general assessment of the state of the disciplines of the documentary and communication cycle, opinions differed – from an optimistic view of the future of these disciplines to a pessimistic one due to the presence of numerous internal problems. The necessity of collaboration is stressed. All participants expressed their deepest satisfaction with the inclusion of library, bibliography and book sciences in the new Nomenclature of scientific specialties and the emergence of a new specialty passport.
