Educational Migration Management: ˋˋResponsive University'' Strategy Prospects for Transitive University

This article considers a regional university management model in the light of its uncertain position in the hierarchy of Russian universities and a specific social and economic situation in Russia’s regions. Such uncertainty leads to the decline in popularity of regional universities among high school graduates, increasing outgoing migration from the region. University becomes a transit education zone on the way to further educational mobility to central regions with better educational and career prospects. In order to strengthen the position of a university in the region and enhance its attractiveness for strong applicants, the transformation of university management strategies is needed. The concept of Responsive University has been analyzed as one of the solutions. Methodologically, the given research is based upon the concepts of transitive university and self-organization of complex social systems. Within the framework of the Responsive University concept, a regional university is considered as a self-organizing system, able to quickly respond to both individual and societal demands through internal structural changes and transformations of external links. The transit character of a regional university is viewed as a resource for its transitive transformations aimed at meeting the societal and individual needs in the means and conditions for multi-tiered transits. The research examines the features of continuing education as an organizational condition to meet university students’ demands for educational and professional transits. The research has also analyzed the changes in a regional university management — from vertical configuration to horizontal one through transforming its organizational structure and involving the teaching staff into decision-making process. These transformations in management of a regional university are expected to increase its popularity among high school graduates, attract educational migrants, provide the regional labour market with qualified staff, and reduce migration outflow from the region.

Implementation of Lean Manufacturing Practices in the Organization of Distance Education by the Ryazan Institute (Branch) of the Moscow Polytechnic University

The transition to new formats of education interprets the need for us to search for new methods of managing educational organizations. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to lean manufacturing as one of the most effective management methods. After all, it is the introduction of lean manufacturing that will allow us to form a management concept based on a constant striving to improve all processes occurring within educational institutions and eliminate all types of losses. Also, lean production involves the involvement of each employee in the optimization process and maximum focus on the end consumer, that is, applicants and their parents. One of the directions is the creation of a completely new model of university management - the model of “change management”. Change management is designed to help any educational institution find a way out of this situation, to promote the formulation and implementation of the set goals of a new level, which are designed to positively influence the emotional component of the team, which ensures the conditions for the breakthrough development of the university through digitalization of all aspects of activity for the transition to competitive educational and scientific - the research model.

Integrative space of a pedagogical university as a qualitative resource for successful self-actualization of future teachers in a city context

In the context of the unstable development of contemporary civilization, attempts to consolidate efforts among the pedagogical community to ensure the proper quality of education in the 21st century are becoming more and more relevant. It seems that the solution to such an urgent problem is feasible by developing an additive integrated model of pedagogical management based on the implementation of the integrative educational space of a pedagogical university (hereinafter – IESPU). According to the authors, the emergence and constant reproduction of relationships between the administration and employees of educational organizations of higher education to achieve the strategic goals of the university should become the main goal of developing such a pedagogical university management model. The methodological basis for the development and implementation of an additively integrated model of pedagogical management is the integrative and spatial approaches that determine the feasibility of designing IESPU and allowing providing access to the formation of teachers’ subjectivity in their own professional activities in the context of continuous personal and professional self-development. The authors consider it appropriate to offer a certain set of areas, essential in their opinion, for planning and developing an additive model of pedagogical management in the context of designing and implementing IESPU, taking into account its qualitative, spatial-temporal, socially-determined, and scientifically-grounded parameters, as well as the urban environment in which pedagogical universities are located.

University Management in the Western Sociology of Higher Education

Introduction . In recent decades, the issues of management of higher education have been actively developed in sociology. The relevance of this topic is reflected in the increasing importance of university activities in the life of society and the conflict situation within scientific and educational organisations, which has developed due to the ambiguous attitude of the academic community towards the university management and the entrepreneurial model of university management. The aim of the present publication is to analyse and generalise Western sociological studies on university management issues. Methodology and research methods . The present research is based on comparative analysis methodology. In the course of analytical review, international experience in university management was investigated. Results and scientific novelty . Social prerequisites, contradictions and implications of transformation of managerial practices in universities are identified and described. The authors of the present article characterise theoretical models of these practices, types and forms of interaction of the university management structure with the academic community. The professionalisation process among managers employed in higher school is outlined. The authors demonstrate the ideas, discussions and new trends of university research projects in the United States, Canada, France, England, Spain, Germany, Holland, Nordic and other Western countries from a critical perspective. The choice is based on the development of sociology as science and the real achievements in higher education systems in these countries. Thee authors promote the idea that leading Western sociologists not only recorded objective evolutionary changes, their results and quantitative indicators for a long period of time, but also revealed the essence of antinomic explicit and latent processes, which accompany university reforms and their administrative structures. It is emphasised that through a sociological perspective these scientists managed to show the quintessence of social relations, behavioural strategies and value systems, which emerge in the university community and serve as the main resource of development of modern universities. Practical significance . It is obvious that the Russian higher school is moving along the same trajectory as Western universities, and it is unlikely to leave this track, so when looking at the advantages and disadvantages of foreign experience, the authors of the present article tried to find out the prospects for the Russian system of higher education and possible vectors of its management development. In this regard, the materials of the current publication can be useful both for sociologists of higher education and for practitioners working in the field of university management.

Sustainable development of education: a home bank of management decisions of the university in ensuring the minimum requirements of legislation

The article discusses the issues of building a university management model focused on meeting the minimum accreditation requirements and legislative requirements in the field of higher education, ensuring the sustainable development of education. In the context of global informatization of the society, the information technologies are being introduced into the various fields of activity. The university management system did not stand aside. The authors propose the use of gamification technology through the automated tools that provide processing and analysis of big data, diagnostics of the quality of downloaded information. Gamification allows the target users to complete the assigned tasks subject to the certain rules and restrictions, which makes the process of performing them similar to a game. It simultaneously contributes to the development of the personnel, the creation of a process of rivalry, motivation and social interaction. Gamification allows the head of an educational organization to build a balanced model of organizational behavior, taking into account the model of behavior of the performers, to ensure the division of administrative and academic spheres of management. These aspects are important elements in the system of the sustainable development of education.
