The pandemic has forced universities to switch to e-Learning in force majeure mode. This served as a powerful impetus for the accelerated arming of universities with the resources that allow effective online and blended learning. In these conditions, it became possible to implement a learner-centered educational paradigm. However, this is hindered by the problem of the student’s lack of self-organization and self-motivation skills, as well as the lack of their ability to take responsibility for their own learning and development. This problem is gaining more and more theoretical and practical importance. The purpose of the work is to substantiate that courses such as self-management and time management contribute to the formation of competencies in the field of goal-setting, planning, self-organization, self-control and self-motivation, and therefore in the context of the implementation of learner-centered paradigm, they should serve as propaedeutics for е-Learning. For this purpose, the article provides a review of the content of the “Time Management” course in relation to the task of developing proactivity and the student’s ability to systematic and productive independent work.
The round-table discussion dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the journal Vysshee obrazovanie v Rossii (Higher Education in Russia) took place on October 26, 2022 within the framework of XIII International conference of higher education (ICHE). Since its founding, the journal acts as a platform to discuss the urgent issues of higher education. In different periods, the researchers discussed competence-based approach, Bologna process, online education, quality of higher education, educational policy, educational management, assessment of learning outcomes, training of highly skilled researchers and teaching personnel, digitalization of education and many others. Today higher education in Russia is at a turning point of its history. We should impartially evaluate the path traveled, what has been achieved and what are the consequences. A look at the past became the subject of the round-table discussion.
The article is devoted to the issues of managing education in end-to-end technologies, in particular big data analytics and artificial intelligence, in Russian universities. The article presents statistical data on the scale of the implementation of big data and artificial intelligence training programs in Russian universities. The authors note that to process a significant amount of information, algorithms for working with big data were used, such as Google Chrome extensions for extracting data from Instant data scraper and Table Capture web pages. Based on the results of the study, the key features of managing the development and implementation of training programs for big data and artificial intelligence in the top 15 universities of the country were identified and analyzed. It is noted that most of the programs have been developed “at the intersection” of academic disciplines and are aimed at training universal specialists, which dictates the integration of university faculties during their creation and close interaction with representatives of the professional community. Judgments are given that the most dense integration of universities and business is the automatic employment of students during the period of study. It is revealed that the management of the development of training programs for big data and artificial intelligence involves collaboration with EdTech platforms and the implementation of programs in a remote form that combines the advantages of a classical university program and the convenience of online learning, in particular, communicative comfort. The study showed that learning management also involves the development of “soft skills” among specialists in the field of data analytics and artificial intelligence.
The article is devoted to the consideration of the factors, taking into account which an entrepreneur should prepare an idea pitch to ensure the most effective perception by the investor. Since the main task of pitching is to arouse the steady interest of the investor, which must be transformed into a decision to invest, the study of what the investor will evaluate and how it should be taken into account by the entrepreneur when preparing the pitching becomes an urgent scientific task. The article substantiates that in addition to the business factors assessed by the investor during the pitching, the so-called contextual factors play a significant role in making a decision to invest in a project. The authors point out that they should include very diverse factors – from the persuasiveness of verbal and non-verbal communication to the expertise of the team representing the project and the number of cases it has implemented. The article analyzes the pitches of entrepreneurs and feedback from investors in the Sberbank start-up community “Sberstartup-roasting 2022” and feedback on investment pitches from private investors, identifies the factors of pitching that are evaluated by investors, and makes judgments about which of them are insufficiently taken into account by entrepreneurs when preparing a pitch. The concept of contextual factors of pitching has been introduced into scientific circulation, it has been revealed which factors should be referred to as contextual factors, and an indicator of contextual factors has been developed, which can be used to track weaknesses in the preparation of an entrepreneur for pitching. It is noted that important context factors, among others, are the presentation of the “value of the product” and the presentation of the essence of the project from the point of view of the “pain” of the consumer. The content of training programs for entrepreneurs in pitching was analyzed and programs were identified that contain the most comprehensive consideration of the factors that investors are guided by when evaluating pitching.
The current stage of social development is characterized by an active digital transformation of all sectors of the economy and, in particular, education, which is manifested in the activities of primarily entrepreneurial universities. Successful digital transformation requires a digital corporate culture that becomes a competitive advantage for an entrepreneurial university. The study of parameters and indicators of digital corporate culture becomes an urgent scientific task. The purpose of the article is to identify such parameters and indicators. The objectives of the article are to consider the specifics of an entrepreneurial university, to substantiate that its digital transformation is a competitive advantage, and to analyze digital corporate culture and the values of its indicators in entrepreneurial universities. The article suggests parameters and indicators of digital corporate culture that can be identified in open sources. It shows that the parameters include: the presence of a digital learning management system, an educational platform, educational and communication applications, the use of digital educational services, a developed strategy for the digital transformation of the university, digital competence of students, staff, teachers. Based on the analysis of websites, applications and educational platforms, the article identifies the values of indicators of digital corporate culture of leading entrepreneurial universities.
