ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ ВЫСШИХ ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНЫХ УЧРЕЖДЕНИЙ НАРКОМАТА ФИНАНСОВ СССР В ГОДЫ ВЕЛИКОЙ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННОЙ ВОЙНЫ

The article considers the history of forming and developing a system of higher education institutions within the jurisdiction of the USSR People’s Commissariat of Finance in the years of the Great Patriotic War. The author covers the problems of the graduates’ enrolment and allocation, analyses the methods to train financial specialists. It is shown that before the Great Patriotic War, the higher education system of the USSR People’s Commissariat of Finance was being formed, and the exploded war led it to a deep crisis. The educational institutions reopened only after 1943, when the work of the evacuated higher education institutions was fully resumed and material and technical support of higher school was organized.

CREATION OF INTERACTIVE PLATFORM FOR ATO VETERANS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING

Introduction: For many demobilized ATO soldiers, the solution to the problem of unemployment is to set up and run their own business as a tool for socio-economic adaptation, since a self-fulfilling condition for returning to a full-fledged life of a Ukrainian soldier is to achieve self-realization, to obtain a stable economic income and to ensure a proper social status. in society [15]. According to research conducted within the framework of the Annual Business Climate Assessment (ABCA 2016), ATO veterans have indicated that they first and foremost need to increase their knowledge and skills in business. Most of them lack knowledge, first of all, in the field of promotion of their business, the second place is occupied with knowledge of the legal framework and taxation. This speaks to the need for additional measures, namely, it is advisable to pay attention to the introduction of on-line training for ATO veterans through interactive platforms that will allow veterans and disabled ATO, even at a distance, to fully receive qualified training and consulting services for starting own business.Today, the system of higher education institutions has the power of an on-line training system based on the use of interactive platforms, but only some of them have been documented in the military environment using this technology of training. Therefore, the task is to explore the possibility of using interactive platforms to teach the basics of ATO veterans entrepreneurship, to analyze and establish the most effective platform, which will be easy to understand and with a simple interface in the training of ATO veterans in the basics of doing business.The hypothesis. It is envisaged that the introduction of an interactive platform for training ATO veterans the basics of entrepreneurship, will allow them to solve a number of problematic situations in the process of opening their own business, familiarize with the rules of law and the tax system in Ukraine.The purpose of the article is to theoretically investigate the prospects of implementing an on-line training system for conducting training courses on the basics of doing business for demobilized ATO soldiers using an interactive training platform.The research methodology: a systematic method of comparing the features and tools of existing on-line interactive learning platforms in the world, critical thinking – to highlight the most effective interactive platform for teaching ATO veterans the basics of doing business, the method of analogy – to study the international experience of using interactive platforms the military training process.Results: It is proposed to implement an on-line training system to implement business training courses for demobilized ATO soldiers using the popular modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment. It is proved that the process of training using the interactive training platform Moodle for ATO veterans will allow them to implement the basic methodological principles. The Moodle interactive platform mandates the download of instructions for use of the software, which allows ATO veterans to effectively manage business processes. Also, the presence of training courses and constant communication with the teacher helps ATO veterans to form entrepreneurial logic - a type of thinking with which it is possible to launch your startup in the shortest possible time.Conclusions: It can be argued that the use of an interactive platform will not only simplify the process of opening its own business by ATO veterans, but also solve a number of problems related to the socio-economic and psychological adaptation of demobilized ATO soldiers to the peaceful life in the country.

A systematic literature review on maturity models for information systems in higher education institutions

ABSTRACT Maturity models have been introduced over the last five decades as guides and references for information system (IS) management in organizations from different sectors. In the education sector, maturity models have also been used to evaluate higher education institutions (HEIs) across several dimensions, such as information and communication technology (ICT), management, process management, course curricula, course/HEI accreditation, e-/m-learning, online courses and pedagogical strategies. In fact, HEIs are faced with enormous complexity due to the specificity and quantity of their processes. Based on the guidelines concerning a methodology for a systematic literature review, the maturity models of different subareas of education are identified and categorized in this paper. For each maturity model associated with HEIs’ ISs, the appropriate methodology for development and validation is identified, as well as the scope, stages and their dimensional characteristics. This study highlights the need to develop an IS maturity model that supports HEIs in their core business activities and management.

A Study of Leadership Style on Employees' Performance in some Selected Private Universities in Ghana

Evolving structures and systems in higher education institutions require leaders who can provide direction, implement plans, and motivate people towards greater performance that meets or surpasses organizational goals. The authors in this study sought to ascertain the relationship between leadership styles and job performance among academic staff working in three (3) selected private universities in Ghana. A sample size of 114 was drawn from a total population size of 160 staff from Data Link Institute, Fountainhead University College and Presbyterian University College. Stratified random sampling method was used to gather data from respondents. Using three different hypotheses that were stated and tested with linear regression and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation, the study revealed that leadership styles have direct effect on job performance. In particular, democratic leadership style showed a significant impact on the employee’s performance while autocratic and laissez-faire leadership styles demonstrated less or no significant impact on the employee performance. The authors proceed to discuss the implications of the study by way theory, practice and future study. Additionally, we recommended among other things that the use of autocratic and laissez-faire leadership styles should be reduced in practice since they have the proclivity of stifling the overall organization performance.

Blockchain technology in the workflow system of higher education institutions

The article presents the results of a study of the theoretical foundations of the Blockchain technology. The analysis of the organization structure of its units and the principles of the system. Algorithms of smart contracts are considered and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. The purpose of the study is that based on the analysis of the theoretical foundations of building systems using blockchain technology and introducing them into various areas, to propose a system model using smart contracts on the Etherium platform for use in the workflow system in institutions of higher education. Convenient web interfaces for managing the creation of a contract and a module for the interaction of smart contracts with a Web application have been developed.
 The management of an institution of higher education, namely, a department, faculty or institute, involves the correct and timely preparation of various documentation, in which the documentation on student learning outcomes holds a special place. On its basis various financial and reporting documents are being prepared. To this end, institutions of higher education are introducing workflow system and office automation systems to manage the processing of documents, as well as to organize control over the implementation of these processes. The paper proposes the introduction of a blockchain system on the Ethereum platform using smart contracts written in the Solidity language. Solidity is a tool that is used to create machine-level code that can be run on an Ethereum Virtual Machine. Solidity allows you to create and execute a smart contract without requiring centralized or trusted parties. The use of such technologies makes it possible to significantly reduce the number of paper-based information carriers and, to a significant extent, further automate the existing the workflow system in institutions of higher education.
 The proposed system is a part of the workflow system of institutions of higher education, which is designed to automate the process of passing documents related to taking into account and submitting to the dean's office of the faculty or the institute the results of the final controls on academic disciplines or the results of retake of tests and exams. This process requires a large number of documents on paper. The proposed system is deployed in the local computer network of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Information Technologies and Mechatronics of Poltava National Technical Yuri Kondratyuk University and is being tested. The results allow us to draw conclusions about the reduction in the number of paper documents; time to obtain permits. In addition, the level of reliability and protection of information transmitted to the administration of the faculty or institute for further processing has increased. In the future, it is planned to introduce the proposed system for document flow automation for all institutes and faculties of the Poltava National Technical Yuri Kondratyuk University.

Learning English today is more than ever urgent in connection with the process of Ukraine’s joining the European space. A large number of Ukrainians are interested in learning a foreign language, especially students, as it provides plenty of opportunities and benefits on the way to building a career and building themselves as a competitive specialist. However, socio-economic changes and information development require a revision of the established traditional teaching system. In general, the concept of interactive teaching methods is based on the psychological phenomenon – interiorization, the essence of which lies in the unity of knowledge and activity.The research paper deals with the differentiation of concepts of traditional and interactive technologies. The concept of interactive technologies, their place in the teaching system of higher education institutions is revealed. The importance of interactive technologies in teaching English to students is also revealed. Interactive teaching technologies are classified. The structure of English language classes with the use of interactive technologies is presented. The essence of the process of interiorization as a mechanism through which interactive technologies become effective is revealed. The most effective interactive technologies in the process of teaching English are reviewed, which include: scenario method, method of training on stations, case study, project technology, brainstorms. There is also an overview of interactive games that are recommended for use in teaching English to expand the foreign vocabulary of students. The use of interactive technologies in teaching English plays an important role, they improve the language competences of students, develop their ability to take collective and independent decisions, activate research skills, increase motivation to learn a foreign language, stimulate creative and intellectual solutions, and provide intensive language practice of students.

Administrative problems of university fnancing

The article is devoted to the study of patterns of formation and development of the system of fnancial support for the functioning of universities as a central element of the system of higher education institutions at the university level and to determine on this basis the relevant tendencies and problems. It is noted that the issue of retaining universities, providing their fnancial and logistical needs has been urgent since their emergence as a public institute, and it remains so today. In particular, the relevant issues are characterized in Ukraine. The principles of public fnancing of domestic universities have recently undergone signifcant changes, which have already started to be implemented since 2020. In the world, public funding for higher education institutions is through the prism of implementing appropriate public policy. Public funding for higher education is provided through national and local budgets. World practice has a diversity of funding models for universities. Based on the analysis, they can be broadly divided into two types, depending on the source of funding: public (state and municipal) and private. The fnancial models used in the practice of European universities take into account the effectiveness of the university’s activities, but they differ depending on the type of activity of the university, for example, some fnancial models are used for training and others for research activities. Regarding Ukraine, there is reason to note the general trends in the development of the countries with economiesin transition, in view of the fact that the government (the state) remains the main source of funding for higher education,while the decrease of the state budget for fnancing the education of students is evident. training, development of new programs and investment in research. A dramatic change in the mechanism of public funding of Ukrainian universities began in late 2019, when the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine signifcantly changed the approach to fnancing higher education. These changes are envisaged in the Concept of Reforming Financing and Management of Higher Education Institutions. In general, it should be noted that the search for and development of an effective university funding model should take into account all the activities of the university and be based on effciency, transparency and autonomy. Thisshould, in turn, increase the accountability of all participants in the educational process and enable the use of limited fnancial resources.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF LICENCING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

The study provides an insight into administrative and legal aspects of licensing higher educational institutions, analyses changes in the licensing system of higher educational institutions and examines measures aimed at nhancing the role of this institution in addressing the problem of quality assurance of higher educational institutions. The author investigates the legal nature and administrative aspects of licensing in higher education and proves that licensing in higher education is an administrative procedure, which takes into account the specific nature and characteristics of the activities of an educational institution, that are stipulated by the corresponding regulatory documents. The paper determines licensing as a legal phenomenon, which means that licensing activity belongs to the system of state-executive relations, the core of which is the organizing the citizens and the legal entities’ activities in the spheres where steadfast adherence to definite requirements and certain legal behavior is expected. One of the key research questions of this paper was the ambiguity of the concept of licensing in scientific literature, which combines the norms of administrative and civil law. Social and legal functions of licensing higher education institutions with the aim of their effective functioning in social and legal environment are outlined. Further, the author identifies the characteristic features of licensing in education. This article also address the research questions of licensing in education and offers the conclusions regarding the features of licensing as a legal phenomenon. The role of licensing activity in the system of state-executive relations and its contents and constituents are determined.

Low achievers and the quest for institutional standard in mathematics education: A phenomenology of subject matter experts’ opinions from Nigerian higher education

<p>This study adopts a phenomenological paradigm to present mathematics experts’ opinions on the existence of low achievers in Nigeria’s higher education system. Six career mathematicians volunteered from among the participants at a conference of one of Nigeria’s elite academic group to give their in-depth opinion on the role of educational institutions in handling low achievers, their impact on Nigeria’s quest for quality education, and personal approaches for managing low achievers in the mathematics classroom. The explication of the responses of the mathematics experts indicates concerns about the admission system of higher educational institutions and some pertinent pedagogical inadequacies of pure mathematicians. The study also revealed that the continual existence of low achievers in the discipline encourages high rate of dropping-out, poor quality of mathematics educators, and examination malpractice. Participants suggest counseling intervention, retraining of mathematics lecturers in teaching methodologies, and special mindset-boosting programmes as ways of handling low achievers in mathematics education. The phenomenology also unveiled certain unintended outcomes that may form the basis for future research into the peculiar attitudinal characteristics of academic mathematicians.</p>

Legal Regulation of Educational Activities in Public Schools

In the paper it notes: the quality of education is a series of systemic-social qualities and characteristics that define the system of education adopted requirements, social norms, the state educational standards. The authors believe that quality education depends on the quality of requirements (goals, standards and norms), quality resources (programs, personnel potential, contingent of entrants, logistics, Finance, etc.) and the quality of the educational process (scientific and educational activities, management, educational technology), which directly provide the training. The novelty of this work is that the country's accession to the Bologna process has resulted in the need for corresponding harmonization of the current quality assurance system of higher education to the commitments made. Quality assurance of higher education at the state level is achieved by development of normative-legal, organizational, methodological and other documents regulating the system of state quality control of education. The authors note that in the implementation of many activities that should contribute to quality assurance in higher education. The subject of the study is that the current quality assurance system (external expert evaluation of activities of higher education institutions) is now at the stage adaptation of the national system of quality assurance standards and guide lines for quality assurance in the European higher educatio narea. In particular, the formation of the monitoring system and definition of rating of higher educational institutions, which in the assessment activities of the University focuses on international indicators (indicators). Even today, some universities are turning to international accreditation agencies. The study's findings is that the system of legal acts regulating the functioning of higher education, while maintaining a certain level of state regulation of activities in the field of higher education, provides an opportunity to ensure greater compliance with the professional qualification level of training of specialists for the requirements of the social division of labor and mobility system of training of specialists on the labor market. At the same time, the analysis of normative-legal acts on higher education shows that, despite the progressive legal instruments adopted in recent years aimed at the development of the education system, they still characterized by inconsistency, ambiguity, and the impossibility of monitoring the implementation of certain provisions. For the solution of problems a rising in the process of quality management of higher education, the need for further improvement and development framework. Important measure to improve the quality of education and management is the implementation of quality management systems in higher education institutions.

A Combination of vocational and sports education: Recent Trends in Elite Sports Education in Germany

본 연구의 필요성은 한국의 스포츠계가 그동안 관행에 따라 운동선수들의 소홀한 교육과정을 묵인해 왔고, 이에 따라 운동선수들은 고령화, 지식기반사회에서 자신의 삶의 질을 향상시키는데 어려움을 겪고 있다는 데 있다. 그래서 선수들이 학업과 스포츠 능력 개발을 병행하면서 경쟁력을 갖도록 지원하는 독일 대학의 스포츠교육에 관한 최근 동향을 소개하고 국내 스포츠 교육의 개선을 위한 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 독일에서는 1999년부터 대학스포츠협회(ADH)와 올림픽체육회(DOSB)가 지역별 올림픽 지원센터를 통해 100개 이상의 대학들과 산학협동하고 있다. 무엇보다 학생들이 대학교육과정에 충실히 참여하면서 학위를 취득하고 최고의 스포츠맨이 되기 위해 훈련을 받는 이중 경력 시스템이 구축되어 있다. 본 연구의 방법으로 문헌연구와 베를린스포츠대학의 유연한 학사과정 등에 관한 사례분석을 통해 최근의 현상을 분석ㆍ제시하였다. 연구결과, 독일스포츠 교육에서는 고등교육기관의 산학협동을 통해 엘리트 선수들이 학위취득과 경력개발을 성공적으로 달성하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이중경력 지원의 확산을 위해 최근 원격교육을 통한 직업동반 스포츠 학위과정이 개설되고 있다. 이처럼 독일 스포츠교육의 최근 동향을 고찰함으로써 국내 운동선수들이 운동과 학업의 두 가지를 함께 수행해 가도록 대학과 스포츠유관기관과의 유기적인 산학협동이 연계, 구축되어야 할 것을 제언한다.The purpose of this study is to consider how German college sports education combines academics with competitive sports, especially through which college students from Germany are highly competitive. The recent negligent management of university diplomas by athletes in Korea has raised calls for strict management of bachelor’s degrees. Reform measures are being introduced, such as strengthening exit management, to rectify the previously lenient practices for/toward school sports players. In Germany, about 90 universities are now participating in an initiative known as “Partner College for Best Sports. As well as the German Olympic Stadium (DOSB) also has partnerships with more than 100 universities through regional Olympic support centers. These universities have recently chosen a number of occupation accompanying degree programs from the dual system course model. By doing so, universities support the students in concurrently studying, gaining experience, and training, while pursuing a flexible bachelor’s degree course such as remote education programs. Research has shown that under the German sports system, the dual career system of higher education institutions has become more active. As a result, the number of universities and colleges participating in the Industrial-Academic Cooperation Education College continues to increase, particularly for vocational continuing education. The literature was examined to investigate recent trends in German sports education. As an example, this paper introduces a flexible bachelor’s degree at Berlin Sports University as a partner university. We are concerned about the suggestions that such German sports education models can offer for Korean sports education.

Importance of aviation in higher education

Air transport is particularly important for countries with geographically scattered settlements, where ground transport can be time consuming. Norway is one such country, and Norwegian authorities regard aviation as a regional policy instrument; therefore, they procure unprofitable air services in rural areas. To increase human capital in rural areas, Norway has a decentralised system of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This paper evaluates the importance of aviation to this HEI system and estimates the welfare effects from aviation on their students and employees. We found that the number of job-related air trips completed by HEI employees is significantly higher than the average number of business trips in Norwegian enterprises. The number of air trips per HEI employee are highest in the regions furthest from the capital; as such, the welfare effects of aviation are greatest for HEIs in the most peripheral regions. To maintain the positive effect of aviation on HEIs, effective flight connections and the establishment of meeting venues where the HEIs management, airline representatives, airport management, and politicians can discuss measures to increase the benefits for HEIs and society are crucial.

User Challenges and Top used Online Databases: A Survey of Higher Education Institutions in Tanzania

The study aimed at finding user challenges for the commonly used online database systems in Higher Education Institutions in Tanzania (HEIs). Two research objectives were formulated as a means to guide and meet the research aim stated above. The study adopted a case study with both quantitative and qualitative methods approach in which a survey was run across 12 HEIs in Tanzania. In order to draw a representative sample of the population, a simple random sampling strategy was adopted in which all participants were given equal chance of being selected. As a result, a total of 559 students, and 149 Academic Staff participated in the study. The major findings show that Wiley online library, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and JSTOR are the commonly used databases but the level of access is very low (mostly to students) due to internal and external challenges like slow internet connection, the difficulty of using online databases, unavailability of online databases, and poor support. The overwhelming evidence collected from the survey suggests that HEIs ought to do enough to ensure the value for money on the subscribed online resources.

To the question of knowledge managers’ education

The article is devoted to the identification of key features of training specialists in knowledge management and systematization of information sources available to them. The relevance of the subject is related to the growing need for managerial personnel, capable of organizing work with knowledge at the enterprise in order to achieve competitive advantages. The study examined the definitions associated with the management of knowledge in the foreign and domestic literature, analyzed the number of subjects taught in Russian specialized universities, revealed the predominance of non-formal education over education in universities. The phenomenon of teaching knowledge management within the framework of such related disciplines as information technology and personnel management has been studied. The article also systematizes the trends in which knowledge management projects are implemented. Based on the above specifics, it is suggested that the main driver of the development of non-formal education in this area is the entrepreneurial initiative of experts. The directions in which the contribution of Russian science to the development of knowledge management as a discipline is manifested to a special extent. Such spheres are the intellectual capital and information technologies. The article is intended for researchers and practitioners whose professional interests lie in the field of knowledge management. In conclusion, ways of improving education systems in higher education institutions and non-formal education are proposed to increase the competence of all specialists who work in the field of knowledge management.

Authorizing Decisions in Projects of Network Interaction in Higher Education

The article analyses the process of decision-making about authorization of a university’s network interaction projects. The methodological basis of the development of this process is the classical model of decision-making. With respect to its general elements, the author formulates the provisions that characterize the possibility and effectiveness of selecting a university’s partners from a variety of stakeholders. Authorizing decisions are regarded as one of the specific limitations determining the time perspective of network interaction projects. Effective organization of projects’ authorization with responsibilities assigned in the university management system, will allow it to increase the number of implemented projects on network interaction, and thus to expand its partner network and increase its competitiveness in the education market. We conclude that in the multi-dimensional management system of higher education institutions it is necessary to create an office for managing the portfolio of stakeholders which whould be in charge of preparing authorizing decisions.

Explaining and Predicting Continuance Usage intention of E-learning Recommender Systems: An Empirical Evidence from Saudi Arabia

This paper examines the factors that may influence students' acceptance and the continuance usage intention of e-learning recommender systems in higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire was developed based on an extended technology acceptance model (TAM). A total sample of 353 university students from various universities in Saudi Arabia participated in this study. The findings of this study revealed that perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) are significant determinants of e-learning recommenders' system initial acceptance. The results also showed that the service quality, a newly added external construct, has significant impact on perceived recommender system ease of use. User experience of recommender system, the second newly added construct, was found to have a significant effect on perceived recommender system usefulness. Finally we found that students' acceptance of e-learning recommender systems positively and directly influences their continuance usage intention.

Analysis of the Fit of Learning and Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions: A Case Study from Saudi Arabia

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are heavily investing in learning and management systems tosupport and enhance the quality of services provided to key stakeholders; namely, the students. However, the degreeof fit of such systems with the needs of students varies significantly from one higher education institution to another.Therefore, continuous assessment of this kind of fit has to be undertaken by HEIs to ensure that these systems arecontinuously adding business value and maintaining appropriate level of return on investments. The problematic issueis that there is a scarcity of business and Infromation Technology (IT) alignment evaluation research or tool that isdedicated to this purpose in this sector. This motivates this ongoing research to be undertaken devising a theoreticalframework as an artefact that incorporates set of business analytics tools to facilitate the evaluation of the businessvalue from IT. The Design Science Research is adopted as the research methodology in this research to guide thedevelopment process of this artefact. This paper, however, focuses mainly on providing background information aboutthe issue of business and IT alignment in general and in the higher education sector in particular. It then describes thealignment influencing factors that impact on the alignment between business and IT. Through a real life case studyfrom a higher education institution in Saudi Arabia, the paper aims to present the IT alignment issue in this sector, and also discuss some of its influencing factors to illustrate how they influence the degree of fit between business and IT.

Perverse Incentives and Peccable Behavior in Professionals - A Qualitative Study of the Faculty

This study aims at finding out the effect of incentives on the behavior of faculty, through a qualitative analysis of the views of the respondents, supported by evidence from the literature. Development of codes at two levels, such as descriptive and inferential codes, leads to the generation of patterns. Data were collected from six universities and terminated into a cross-case analysis for the purpose of comparison and contrasting the findings. The study found that the incentive system of higher education institutions is disassociated from the cultural and contextual aspects of the workplace – elevating the wrong dimensions of the employee’s performance. Such peccable or susceptibility of behaviors has further increased the tendency among the faculty towards opportunistic behavior. The findings will help administrative leaders and incentive system designers to align enticements with the bigger goals of higher education, instead of achieving short term benefits.
