As a result, the following trends of the multiethnic higher education evolution have been defined: the purposeful organization of multiethnic educational environment; the shaping of tolerance to multiethnic environment in both students and teaching staff; the training of university teaching staff for professional activity in multiethnic environment, particularly, for designing the content of multicultural education along with applying modern interactive educational technologies. The defined trends promote higher quality of education and regional human capital as indispensable provision for sustainable development of the coal mining region Kuzbass.

Research and Practice of Training Effect Evaluation System Based on Kirkpatrick Model—Taking Teacher Training System of Zhejiang Open University as an Example

The present era is a complex, diversified and global knowledge economy era. Adult higher education in China is faced with many challenges in obtaining and maintaining its competitive advantage. In order to deal with these challenges and improve the competitiveness, we must take the increment of human capital of adult college teachers as the premise, and teachers’ continuing education is an important means. However, in the actual operation process, many teacher trainings are eager for quick success and instant benefits, and fails to grasp the rational training strategy of team building from a strategic perspective. At present, some trainers are armchair due to the lack of front-line teaching experience, which makes the training effect too wet to be applied in actual combat or has guiding and reference significance (Shi, 2007). This paper takes Zhejiang Open University teaching staff training center in nearly three years project as the research subject, through the analysis of the existing training effect evaluation model of the commonly used at home and abroad, analyzes the model’s application environment and evaluation level and so on, is open to Zhejiang university system problems that exist in the teacher training effect evaluation activities carried on the investigation and study, and analyzes the reasons of these problems. Through the construction of effective training effect evaluation system and the corresponding evaluation model to solve these problems. Referring to the academic achievements of evaluation models and the application examples of enterprises, this paper constructs a training effect evaluation system for Zhejiang Open University from the perspectives of evaluation objective, evaluation model, main body method and training effect evaluation process. For the training effect evaluation system designed in the paper also gives the corresponding implementation steps, but also gives the case results. In the evaluation, the four-level classification method of Kirkpatrick Model is mainly used for reference, and the evaluation of response, learning, behavior and result is carried out at four levels. To explore the feasibility of applying this training effect evaluation model to Open University teacher training system, and to derive the training effect evaluation system and training effect evaluation model which are in accordance with scientific principles and the actual situation of Open University. On the basis of extensive literature collection and analysis, the expected value of this paper is intended to realize the research on training effect evaluation by combining system with emphasis, examples with theory, model display with logical reasoning, and analyzing practical problems. It is believed that the training effect evaluation system and the training effect evaluation model designed in this paper can provide thinking methods and reference ways for the evaluation of the system teacher training effect of Zhejiang Open University.

Educação básica e o acesso de transexuais e travestis à educação superior

O presente artigo tem por objetivo discutir sobre como os debates de gênero e sexualidade durante a educação básica podem interferir no acesso de transexuais e travestis à educação superior, com base nos dados obtidos por meio de pesquisas realizadas por iniciativas de projetos, produções acadêmicas, organizações não governamentais (ONGs), redes de apoio ou de associações, como também por notícias em mídias sociais, além das ações governamentais que têm o intuito de promover equidade e respeito às identidades de gênero na escola. De acordo com o estudo proposto, embora as questões de gênero e sexualidade tenham obtido relevância em políticas e legislações que se vinculam tanto ao campo da educação como a outros campos, estudantes transexuais e travestis ainda têm dificuldade para concluir o período de escolaridade obrigatória. Por conseguinte, propor reflexões e trabalhar conceitos nas escolas de educação básica não é o suficiente, é preciso investir na formação inicial e continuada de todo o corpo docente.

The article presents a theoretical analysis of postgraduate teacher education as a factor in the development of professional-pedagogical competency of lecturers of professional disciplines from technical universities. It justifies the scientific-pedagogical literature and regulatory documents on the issue of postgraduate education. It clarifies the definition of postgraduate teacher education in the works of Ukrainian and foreign researchers (B. James, A. Kuzminskiy, N. Protasova et al.) and offers the author’s interpretation of this concept. It shows that the component of postgraduate education is advanced training, which is seen as the acquisition of new or improvement of previously acquired competencies within a certain professional activity. Also, the article highlights the fact that professional development aims to compensate for gaps in the basic technical or pedagogical training and provide with modern knowledge and technologies. At the same time, it justifies the role of advanced training in the development of professional-pedagogical competency in lecturers of professional disciplines from technical universities. In this regard, it describes a professional programme of advanced training of research and teaching staff. The programme, called “Developing Professional-Pedagogical Competency in Lecturers”, is implemented by the Pedagogy and Innovative Education Department at Lviv Polytechnic National University in the context of advanced training of research and teaching staff from this very institution. The article shows that its implementation is aimed at developing the structural components of professional-pedagogical competency of lecturers from technical universities. The author of the article defines these components as follows: cognitive-intellectual, personal-motivational, functional-technological, social-communicative and reflexive-regulatory. The article concludes that it is essential to improve the professional-pedagogical competency of lecturers of professional disciplines from technical universities under the reforms in higher education and the development of new types and spheres of professional-pedagogical activity. It is important to note that an effective tool for developing this competency is the system of advanced training, designed to ensure the dynamic development of the educational system in Ukraine.

MODERN ACADEMIC LECTURE: PRO ET CONTRA

The article is devoted to lectures as the oldest organizational form of education. It has been emphasized that interactivity is one of the main parameters that a modern lecture must comply with. The authors note that a quality lecture at a medical university (academy), prepared by a qualified research and teaching staff, is an extremely capacious pedagogical phenomenon that has a number of advantages, such as: lecture is an effective form of emotional impact on the future doctor, deontological education, formation of professional self-awareness and professional position, reflection and self-reflection; it serves as an important form of cooperation and provides direct creative communication of the lecturer with the audience; it allows to involve students in the latest advances in health care; it serves as an effective means of learning through personal example. Paying attention to the already traditional (in the historical context) question about the shortcomings of the lecture, the authors briefly consider the barriers of psychological and pedagogical nature, related to both the teacher and the students. It is shown that these barriers hinder the implementation of the main functions of the lecture and generate discussions about the form of lecture. Considerable attention is paid to the means of visualization of lecture material. The conclusions state that the modern academic lecture must meet a number of prerequisites, which are interrelated: proper psychological and pedagogical training of research and teaching staff; correspondence of their knowledge to the modern level of development of science; impeccable mastery of lecture material and audience; high-quality contingent of students who have a high level of motivation to study and the desire to obtain education, acquire knowledge, skills and abilities; high-quality visualization of lecture material.

La formación en investigación y su incidencia en la producción científica del profesorado de educación de una universidad pública de Ecuador

La teoría de la gestión del capital humano sustenta la necesidad de invertir en la formación de las personas, para incrementar la productividad. Los recientes incrementos en las publicaciones de productos científicos han suscitado interés en las universidades ecuatorianas, induciendo a la búsqueda de los factores contribuyentes. Considerando tales presupuestos, el presente estudio demuestra que los incrementos en la formación doctoral (en investigación) del profesorado universitario incide directa y significativamente en la productividad científica. En tal demostración, se ha seguido un enfoque cuantitativo, de naturaleza relacional entre la formación en investigación y la producción científica. Para el estudio se seleccionó una muestra de 85 docentes de la Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Guayaquil (Ecuador), que cuentan con estudios doctorales concluidos o en curso y la publicación de productos científicos. El recojo de la información se hizo a partir de los Curriculum Vitae declarados por el profesorado, organizándolos como indicadores de estudio. Los resultados describen la evolución incipiente de la formación doctoral (en investigación) y la creciente producción científica (más de impacto regional que internacional); resaltando las correlaciones positivas entre los indicadores. Ha quedado comprobada la incidencia de la formación doctoral (en investigación) en la producción científica, en términos de que la progresión de estudios doctorales (titulados) afecta positivamente a incrementos en la producción científica.

Competencia digital del profesorado no universitario de lenguas extranjeras y su vinculación con las competencias comunicativa y sociolingüística

Las nuevas tecnologías han transformado el mundo en redes globales, en comunidades virtuales de información. Estos cambios tan vertiginosos nos han llevado a la sociedad del conocimiento, dejando atrás los principios de la Revolución Industrial.La profesión docente no parece haber cambiado con los tiempos actuales. Los centros educativos aún pretenden responder a las necesidades de la sociedad de la Ilustración con las herramientas del siglo XXI. La escuela actual no ha evolucionado de una sociedad moderna derivada de la Revolución Industrial a una sociedad postmoderna impregnada del avance de los medios de comunicación y las nuevas tecnologías, en la que predomina lo emocional frente a lo conceptual.Esta nueva sociedad ha supuesto un cambio en el alumnado, que ha nacido inmerso en el uso de las nuevas tecnologías y que las aplica tanto dentro como fuera de las aulas para cualquier actividad de su vida diaria. Son los llamados «nativos digitales» (Prensky, 2001). El alumnado de la escuela actual presenta formas diferentes de percibir y conocer, nuevas actitudes y valores emergentes, una capacidad racional que deja paso a lo simbólico. La nueva formación del profesorado no universitario debe tener en cuenta al nuevo educando, y definir unas metodologías y unos contenidos educativos que reflejen estos cambios.El presente artículo de investigación es un análisis de la formación del profesorado no universitario en general, y del de segundas lenguas en particular, profundizando en el desarrollo de sus competencias clave como docente, especialmente la competencia digital, haciendo una revisión de la literatura relacionada con el tema objeto de estudio.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AS A PEDAGOGICAL CHALLENGE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY UNIVERSITY

Currently, international organizations involved in education assign to universities the social responsibility of designing interdisciplinary approaches to the study of major global challenges. These global challenges, including sustainability, educational inclusion and development cooperation, present an opportunity for seeking synergies that will make the study of these challenges a reality in the classrooms of higher education centers. The objective of this work is to investigate the opportunities and barriers universities face for undertaking such missions. The methodology consists, in the first place, of constructing a theoretical framework that allows for establishing relationships within education for studying sustainability, inclusion, poverty and mobility. The second part deals with the technique of service learning and environmentalization of the university curriculum. We address the latter at a conceptual level as well as from perceptions of university teachers based on a qualitative study done by the Faculty of Education of the University of Malaga. The conclusions reveal the relationship between an education that ensures social and environmental justice, in addition to the difficulties of working towards sustainability due to the lack of training of university teaching staff.

Teaching theology from a distance: Experiences of the Institute of Distance Learning at St Tikhon’s Orthodox University in Moscow, Russia

This article considers the basic problem of online education owing to the lack of direct contact between all participants in the study process. The experience of distance theological education in Russia as a whole and the personal experience of two of the authors who are lecturers at St Tikhon’s Orthodox University in Moscow are used to understand and describe the methods of addressing the challenge of direct communication. Based on 15 years of experience of two of the authors (Egorov and Malanina) in the field of distance theological education in Russia, as well as survey results on preferences for communication in theological distance education training, the article presents research results that confirm the preference for the way the current study process is organised based on different communicative activities for various levels of learning. The authors also report on the existing, and actively used, teaching staff training system on theological distance education. The results are presented in the form of a pyramid as a framework for theological distance education in a Russian context.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN INCLUSIVE APPROACH TO ORGANIZATION OF PRESCHOOL AND SECONDARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WORK IN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATIONAL INNOVATIONS IN THE TEACHING STAFF TRAINING

The article presents the results of the theoretical analysis of the development of an inclusive approach to the organization of educational institutions work in the context of educational innovations in the training of future kindergarten teachers and elementary school teachers. It was determined that the implementation of such an approach in Ukraine requires a conceptual change of the philosophy of education and methodology of teaching staff training, which determines the constant search and implementation of innovative pedagogical technologies, such as training, mentoring, tutoring, coaching. They develop the future teacher’s ability to create an atmosphere in which children are equal, supporting a tolerant attitude towards children of various categories, including children with disabilities. In the course of an experimental study of future specialists’ readiness to implement innovations in the context of inclusive education, the necessity of approaching the realities of the professional training of kindergarten teachers and educators to the conditions of the future professional activity in the inclusive educational environment by introducing quasi-professional technologies was proved.

Doctoral Education as an Institutional Resource for Training Research and Higher Education Personnel (Article 1)

The diversification of professional trajectories of academic degree holders is now becoming a global trend, and it prompts us to take a fresh look at the problem of evaluating the effectiveness of existing institutions for the training of academic and research personnel – the systems of doctoral education in Russia and abroad – in terms of the training of academic researchers and higher education teaching staff. Our two articles which share the scope of problems and have a single general concept, consecutively address the following issues: the collection and analysis of empirical data on training in doctoral programs; the dynamics of dissertation defense by graduates after the completion of doctoral programs; the actual timeframe of doctoral students’ advancement to their degree; the proportion of graduates who continue their scientific career after graduating from the doctoral program. The first article analyzes the organizational and methodological aspects of information and analytical support of institutions responsible for doctoral education in the countries of the European Union, the United States and Russia. It provides information about the organization of the systems for monitoring doctoral education and doctoral program graduates’ professional careers in foreign countries. The authors note the insufficient information support for the programs aiming to develop doctoral education in Russia, as well as the lack of empirical data necessary to assess the effectiveness of Russian doctoral education in the reproduction of human resources for the research and education sector. The results of the authors’ scientometric research concerning doctoral program graduates’ retention in the field of research and higher education are announced. The second article will present the details of the method and the results of these studies.
