Purpose. Despite relatively successful democratic transformation in various areas, Ukraine still has little progress in reforming the system of education. Changes that are taking place (e.g. new legislation is being adopted) do not have expected effect and are often too surface-oriented. The article discusses one of the possible causes for this-high median age and long term duration of university leadership. It is argued in the work that, while senior academics in educational facilities contribute by sharing profound knowledge and experience with the students, electing leaders solely on the basis of their seniority slows the pace of reforms and causes preservation of Soviet traditions in educational governance. methodology. The results of the study were obtained through the application of the following methods: analysis and synthesis in the study of strategies, programs, curricula, ratings, which allow analyzing the main directions of educational and scientific activity in Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv; systematic and comparative methods that were used in determining the essence and peculiarities of universities leadership. findings. The authors argue that among many other important factors, generation change in university leadership can help the Ukrainian universities take a leap to modernization. It is beyond any doubts that, while university governance is not a single contributing factor for success, higher educational facilities will benefit from such generation change in many ways. First, being in the system for many years, current universities' leaders fail to think outside of the box and recognize the innovations that must be implemented. Moreover, since the average age of rectors, faculty deans and department chairs is rather high, in the Ukrainian situation it means that their career progressed during the Soviet era or in the first years of independence. Taking the position, they had a different model of governance and higher education in general, dominating in their mindsets, so made attempts to recreate them in their domains. Finally, most university leaders at different levels lack knowledge needed for effective modernization of their facilities such as management training or knowledge of foreign language. The only reason to be elected is based on academic merit, which is important but should be complemented by other skills as today the rector, dean and even department chair are doing more and more representative work, fundraising, media relations and others. Realities of the Ukrainian universities show that a generation change is an inevitable prerequisite for their successful transformation. Originality. The work does not intend to discriminate a person solely on the basis of age or the number of years in office. However, with regard to the Ukrainian situation, a generation change entails more than simply kicking the older people out. It means minimizing the influence of Soviet legacy on the universities and new additions to it, created in the first post-Soviet years. Those, arguing f...
This paper presents the results of the authors’ study of the perception of Ancient Chinese philosophy in the Ukrainian philosophy of the Soviet period in the second half of the 20th century. The study is based on a unique source: a monograph by two authoritative and influential Soviet philosophers, Volodymyr Dmytrychenko and Volodymyr Shynkaruk, which was published in Ukrainian in 1958. The authors described the way of perception of Ancient Chinese philosophy, its ideological principles, main problems and key personalities in the Ukrainian philosophy of the Soviet period, and systematically presented them. The paper presents the authors’ conclusions about the leading theoretical positions and methodology of the history of philosophy in the Ukrainian philosophical culture of the Soviet period. The authors concluded that the peculiarity of the development of studies in the history of philosophy in Ukraine in the Soviet era is a departure from Hegel’s theory of the history of philosophy, the main theoretical and methodological shortcoming of which is “Eurocentrism”. This circumstance allows us to assert a critical rethinking of Hegel’s theory of the history of philosophy in the Ukrainian philosophical culture of the Soviet period of the second half of the 20th century. Also, in this paper, the authors prove the point of view that a comparative approach and reception studies are effective methods of studying the history of Ukrainian philosophy of the Soviet period.
Purpose. Studying the features of implementing the EU bioeconomy strategy in higher education in Ukraine. Methodology. As the main research method, the authors used the comparative approach and the method of expert assessment. The authors used the methods of functional analysis, the methods of content analysis and systems analysis as additional ones. Findings. According to the recommendations of the European Union, the implementation of the EU bioeconomy strategy in the higher education system is based on ten key principles. The authors considered the features of implementing the EU bioeconomy strategy in Ukrainian higher education, the key features of the recommended principles and the degree of their use in the modern system of higher education in Ukraine. Originality. The possibilities of the key principles recommended by the European Union for the effective implementation of the EU bioeconomy strategy in higher education in Ukraine were evaluated. Practical value. The research results contribute to the effective implementation of the EU bioeconomy strategy in the higher education system of Ukraine; the introduction of European standards in the educational, scientific and innovative activities of universities and enterprises in Ukraine in terms of the development of resource and energy-saving economy and environmental protection.
