Challenges of tertiary higher education in the framework of highly qualified teacher training in Ghana

The study of the features of the educational system of the Republic of Ghana in the context of the third stage of higher education is necessary for the further development of Russian-Ghanaian relations and the growth of partnership projects between higher educational institutions of Russia and Ghana. A proper understanding of the educational system of the Republic of Ghana, as well as the existing problems in the training of postgraduate students and possible ways to solve them, can help to improve the training process of highly qualified teaching staff. The purpose of the work is to reveal the problems of the third stage of higher education in the context of teacher training, and identify possible ways to solve them. The study analyses: 1) the characteristics of the higher education sector in the Republic of Ghana, in particular its tertiary level; 2) existing state initiatives in the country to improve the training of highly qualified teaching staff on the third stage of higher education; 3) statistics characterizing the current situation of postgraduate studies within the framework of higher education in the country; 4) the challenges emerging in the training of highly qualified teachers in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as their relevance to tertiary education in the Republic of Ghana. The study has identified the following difficulties that affect the process of writing and successful defense of dissertations: insufficient awareness of graduate students about further prospects for their employment with a PhD; insufficient financial security of postgraduate students; insufficient level of scientific supervision and excessive academic workload on supervisors of dissertation research. The study proposes solutions to the existing problems, such as increasing financial incentives for high-achieving PhD students, increasing control over the process of scientific supervision, placing greater emphasis on conducting interdisciplinary research and establishing partnerships with other countries of the African continent, and developing existing interaction with states outside Africa, including the Russian Federation.

The relation between mental health and career-related stress among prospective graduates in higher education stage during the COVID-19 pandemic: an evidence based on network analysis.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted people's routine, bringing uncertainty and stress, leading to mental health issues. This situation is particularly acute among Chinese prospective graduates in higher education stage as they cannot predict the outcomes of their studies, graduation, and career development, and therefore experience career-related stress. This study included 4041 prospective graduates in higher education stage (using handy sampling) recruited in March 2020 as participants (M Age = 22.56, SD = 1.865), utilizing a Sparse Gaussian Graphical Model for regularized partial correlation network analysis of depression symptoms (by PHQ-9), anxiety symptoms (by GAD-7), and career-related stress, which aims to explore the role of career-related stress in the symptom networks of depression and anxiety among prospective graduates in their final semester. The results revealed that fatigue, sad mood, and psychomotor symptoms in depression, as well as uncontrollable worry and trouble relaxing in anxiety, were central symptoms in the network. Additionally, sad mood and guilt belonging to depressive symptoms, and feeling afraid, restlessness, and irritability belonging to anxiety symptoms, served as bridge symptoms connecting symptom communities. Specifically, guilt as a depressive symptom showed a strong association with employment stress in career-related stress. There were no significant differences in network structure and global strength based on participants' gender. However, despite no significant differences in network structure, the global strength of prospective graduates from Wuhan was significantly lower than samples from non-Hubei provinces, possibly indicative of a Typhoon Eye Effect. The findings of this study can inspire psychological professionals in higher education institutions to provide support for mental interventions and therapies for prospective graduates, and addressing career development issues.

Elementary School Pre-service Teachers’ Perceptions of Quality in Higher Education

Maintaining quality throughout all stages of higher education and its constituents is crucial for cultivating a quality labor force. The purpose of this study is to identify the perceptions of pre-service teachers regarding the quality of higher education. This study aims to achieve this goal through qualitative methodologies. The data was gathered via an interview questionnaire developed by the researcher. The study group consists of volunteers enrolled in departments of elementary education from two public universities made up of 47 female and 13 male candidates, for a total of 60 pre-service teachers. A semi-structured interview questionnaire developed by the researcher was used for the collection of data. For data analysis, thematic content analysis was employed. It was found in the study that the facilities, the equipment provided by the institutions, and the amenities present in the surrounding areas were deemed insufficient by the pre-service teachers in both universities. Furthermore, they remarked that their interests, requests, complaints, and needs were being neglected, while also expressing views affirming the qualities of the academic and administrative staff in their respective institutions. Taking into consideration the perspectives from both universities, the factors of transportation, the natural environment, attitudes of local people towards the students, security, social services, sports amenities, food, and accommodations were observed to be variable in terms of the viewpoints of pre-service teachers. Similarly, the perceptions of pre-service teachers concerning guidance and counseling services, views towards course materials and their practical applications, systems of examination, and university awards and honors have also shown differences between the two institutions.

A Comparative Analysis of Influencing Factors and Countermeasures of Gender Inequality in Higher Education: Based on The Comparison of Mainland China and Hong Kong, China

The increase in popularity of higher education has improved the talent competitiveness of China on the global stage and highlighted the function of higher education in fostering social prosperity and development. But, as higher education has continued to advance, other issues have surfaced. Although enrollment chances have risen, there is still inequity in the distribution of opportunities, particularly across genders. The gender disparity in the growth of Chinese higher education is therefore examined and discussed in this article. The analysis and comparison approach is used to explain the causes and solutions to gender inequality in Hong Kong and Mainland China's higher education stages. It is discovered that there are gender bias-causing similarities and differences between Hong Kong and Mainland China. The study's findings are that traditional Chinese beliefs have an impact on gender inequality in higher education in Hong Kong and Mainland China. In several professions and textbooks in Hong Kong, there are very serious gender stereotypes, whereas, in Mainland China, gender inequality is greatly influenced by the urban-rural divide. The remedies for gender disparity examined in this research have a mitigating impact but do not actually solve the issue. China should establish policies in the future that are better suited to its own national circumstances and guarantee that the policies are implemented effectively.

Modular Distance Learning in the Area of Education During the New Normal: A Systematic Review

In the Philippines, attempting to push through education despite the fatal pandemic caused by Covid-19 has proven difficult. Despite several objections, the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) accepted and implemented the flexible blended learning model, despite the risk of open courses due to the virus. Modular (Printed), Modular (Digital), Online, Educational TV, Radio-Based Instruction, Home Schooling, and Blended Learning are the many learning modes. Using the systematic review, the study aims to determine the main educational experiences that used the Modular Distance Learning approach to promote educational knowledge within the Higher Education stage. Modular Distance Learning is implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces where internet connection is only available for a few. The usage of Modules created by teachers with various tasks and learning activities based on fundamental learning abilities is known as modular distance learning. Thus, the main findings of the study revealed that the implementation of modular distance learning or distance education resulted in a significant improvement in students’ knowledge of the specific content covered, despite the fact that both technical and non-technical problems occur during their teaching in distance learning.

The Presentations and Possible Causes of Disharmony Within the LGBTQ Community: From the Experience and Perspective of LGBTQ youth

Under the background of the gradual expansion of the LGBTQ community in recent years, members of gender minorities have increasingly raised their voices on equal rights and non-discrimination. In addition to the pressure from the outside group, the LGBTQ groups’ internal disharmony is gradually serious, which has a negative impact on both inside and outside individuals. Because youth at the stage of higher education have specific significance in studying gender minorities, this paper interviews seven LGBTQ youth through qualitative research to deeply explore the presentations:(a) marginalization and acceptance, (b) stereotypes and labeling, (c) discrimination and aggression, and some possible causes of internal disharmony within the LGBTQ community. To alleviate this situation, this paper proposes the suggestion of gender education (especially early childhood gender education), hoping to take appropriate measures for people of different ages. Meanwhile, gender education would help remove contradictions and misunderstandings both within and outside LGBTQ groups, and create an inclusive social atmosphere that makes gender diversity widely accepted.

Physical education always undertakes the two core contents of physical quality education and comprehensive ability education in colleges and universities, helping students cultivate correct health awareness, promoting the improvement of students' physical functions and health levels, reflecting the importance and particularity of talent cultivation and national quality improvement in the stage of higher education. In the context of the continuous expansion of our national sports vision, the continuous promotion of national sports projects, and the continuous development of physical education in colleges and universities, the physical quality of college students is constantly declining. In response, this article has conducted a research on college physical education based on the concept of lifelong physical education, using changes in students' physique, learning efficiency, and innovation awareness as indicators to identify whether teaching methods are effective. Regular evaluation of the effectiveness of teaching methods can ensure the effectiveness and scientific of method innovation. To continuously enhance students' autonomy and enthusiasm, ensure that each student can receive reasonable physical exercise, and achieve their own healthy growth and development.

Current issues of psychological support of education

Introduction. Assistance to learners and other educational actors in gaining access to mental health support is important at its various levels, from the pre-university stage to doctoral, professional development and retraining programs. Timely (preventive or possibly earlier) and appropriate (targeted) intervention, designed as maintenance / facilitation, distributed in the space and time of the client»s life, or emergency, clearly directed and technologically verified intervention («impact») are usually associated with better results of the service, individual and organizational health of participants in the educational process.Purpose setting. The aim of the study is to analyze the current problems of psychological support of the educational process at different stages of higher education in the context of systemic, targeted and timely provision of psychological support to a person in solving the tasks facing him of coping with the crises of personal, interpersonal, and educational and professional development.Methodology and methods of the study. The research method is a theoretical analysis of topical problems of psychological support of the educational process in higher education. The methodological basis of the study is an integrative approach to the analysis of the problems of psychological support of the educational process in higher education.Results. The peculiarities of the activities of university academic psychological support services are associated with the helping young and adults, students and educators, as well as other employees of universities / institutes and their families. The main form of activity around which and about which a system of main and additional goals and trends in the activities of these services is built is educational, tutorial and training. However, at the university, it is not just educational, but both educational and professional activity: the central task of education is to (re) train a specialist, including in the field of developing his psychological culture, with which he will enter the real labor process, to future employees, subordinates and managers, clients and customers, etc., with which he will live, building family and friendships, neighborhood relationships and hobbies. The leading problems of academic services remain: a) spiritual-ideological and theoretical-methodological aspects of the psychological support of the educational process and the development of students and teachers as individuals, partners and members of society, as students and professionals; b) strategies for building and developing helping relationships with difficult clients, with clients in extremely difficult personal microsocial and macrosocial situations; c) (re) training and advanced training, along with expanding the methodological tools and powers of academic psychologists and other support service specialists, coordinating and improving the work of interdisciplinary support teams; d) psychological expertise and support of educational innovations, the use of the educational situation to solve the problems of personal, interpersonal, educational and professional development and improvement of the main participants in education and its stakeholders.Conclusion. Psychological support of the educational process in higher education acts as an area of professional, interprofessional and quasi-professional activity, represented in numerous forms and directions of providing help from person to person. The wealth of tasks facing a person, difficulties and crises of personal, interpersonal and educational-professional formation and development that an individual faces in an educational environment can be covered and can be solved by the systemically organized work of the academic service for psychological support of education. This service includes assistance to different groups of clients who are in difficult, conflict and crisis situations of varying intensity and volume: assistance in finding resources to cope with the problems of personal, interpersonal, and educational and professional development.

The Introduction of Soft Skills in the Study of Disciplines of the Second Stage of Higher Education at the Sukhoi State Technical University of Gomel

Professional skills, as opposed to interpersonal skills, are types of skills that students learn in university. These skills are easy to quantify. The proficiency in these skills is easy to verify. Soft skills cannot be measured and tested as simply as professional skills. The authors highlight the most in-demand soft skills among employers. The article presents the results of several surveys of employers about the important requirements for jobseekers required for employment. Similar surveys were conducted among employers and employees of IT companies in the Republic of Belarus. It is concluded that soft skills are very important both for getting a first job and building a successful career. However, in the universities of the Republic of Belarus, teaching soft skills is poorly represented. The article shows how the process of teaching students of the second stage of higher education was modernized. Only the IT specialties of five Belarusian universities have undergone modernization. This work was carried out with the support of the international project MaCICT. At the same time, the experience of teaching similar disciplines in the universities of the European Union was used. To assess the effectiveness of students' acquisition of soft skills at the university, a system for assessing the results of the modernization of the learning process was developed. Questionnaires for teachers, students and employees of IT companies have been developed. A survey of all stakeholders in the results of the international project MaCICT was carried out. The paper provides information on the dissemination of the main approaches for organizing the teaching of IT specialties for teachers of another specialties of the Sukhoi State Technical University of Gomel, as well as for teaching IT disciplines of another universities in the Gomel region.

Use of infographics to develop speaking skills of engineering students at English classes

Introduction of infographics into tertiary education became widespread during COVID-19 pandemic as the latter triggered a fundamental transition from conventional education to online one. This new format of teaching immediately revealed a few difficulties, such as poor attendance of students, lack of relevant technologies and equipment as well as inability of most educational institutions to respond to these challenges properly. Together with it, we have also discovered that students found it uneasy to learn new material, however, as we believe, it might be improved by introducing new technologies into teaching methodology which can be used both in online and classroom work for example, to follow up the material which has already been learned online. One of these technologies is infographics. The purpose of this paper is to familiarize readers with infographics as a tool and explain how inforgraphics may contribute to building English speaking skills at technical university. The object of the study in hand is the process of building English speaking skills of students studying at engineering faculties (industrial and civil engineering and construction and technological faculty). The subject of the work is use of infographics to build English speaking skills of students from these faculties in ELT. The practical value of this study is to show how infographics-based exercises could be implemented into English classes for first-year students who study the language at technical university. The research novelty of this study lies in the fact that infographics as a way of visual presentation of various textual, statistical information, data and knowledge is used as a means of teaching a foreign language at the stage of higher education. The results of the research can then be used to teach English to bachelors studying a wide range of engineering degrees, or as part of a refreshing course for non-linguistic masters. In addition, it should be noted that infographics can be used both for classroom and independent work of students.

RUSSIAN POSTGRADUATE STUDIES IN THE FACE OF MODERN CHALLENGES

The article touches upon the problem of the state of the domestic graduate school as a stage of education, which is highly susceptible to various managerial changes and other factors. The relevance of the study is due, firstly, to the task of effective reproduction of scientific personnel, which the state is facing, and secondly, the active transformational processes that have been taking place within the Institute of Postgraduate Studies in recent years. The purpose of the study is to identify the key challenges and problems that graduate school faces today. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on higher education in general and the delivery of graduate programs in particular. However, this challenge for the system of training highly qualified personnel is only a temporary negative factor, in contrast to the systemic problems and difficulties that have accompanied the development of postgraduate studies for a long time since the collapse of the USSR. It is concluded that digitalization, on the one hand, has become a challenge for the education system as a whole, on the other hand, this process has contributed to the adaptation of educational and scientific organizations to the difficult epidemiological conditions in the country. The analysis of the essence and consequences of the current stage of domestic postgraduate education reform, associated with the changes in the legal framework that took place in 2020-2022, as well as the preparation of recommendations to mitigate the difficulties of the transition period of modernization of the third stage of higher education can be a promising direction for further study of this problematic.

DISTANCE LEARNING AND FACE-TO-FACE LEARNING: STUDENT PERCEPTION OF QUALITY ASSURANCE AND PROSPECTS FOR IMPROVEMENT IN EDUCATION MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES

Global challenges are an objective factor influencing the development of socio-economic and socio-political subsystems of society. The influence of this factor is not uniform, causing a different impact on every social activity sphere. The actualization of challenge to people’s health risk, determined by the widespread of the COVID-19 infection in 2020, has become the cause of changes in modes of operation for most of social institutes, including that of education. To implement the national governments’ decisions concerning prevention of population’s infecting with COVID-19, the administrations of most European universities have refrained from teaching educational programs in the face-to-face mode and adopted the decision of applying the distance form of training. This forced step by the universities has determined the raise in stakeholders’ interest in the problematics of the quality of education obtained through the distance mode of higher education. In their attempt to provide the answer concerning the potential of the distance form of training in ensuring education quality, the authors of this article have conducted a poll of 544 students from higher education establishments of Eastern Ukraine. The answers obtained were analyzed by the following aspects: comparing education quality depending on the mode of obtaining it; perspectives of applying the distance form of education at each stage of higher education; efficiency of applying the distance training instruments in the training process. On the results of analyzing the respondents’ answers, recommendations and conclusions as to the state of distance education and the perspectives of its development were formulated. Besides, the article offers a classification of distance education instruments and proposes recommendations concerning their application in the training process. The article’s content will be of interest not only for specialists working at agencies that ensure quality of higher education, but also for stakeholders and administrations of the universities that are planning to raise the level of their presence at the education services market on account of implementing the distance training’s potentials.
