“…The optimal number of epochs in each approach with its results were compared. All the methods were evaluated using three performance metrics normalized mutual information (NMI) [80], adjusted mutual information (AMI) [81], and adjusted rand index (ARI) measures [82]. With their results, word embedding models outperformed traditional TF-IDF representations.…”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a fast-growing area of study that stretching its presence to many business and research domains. Machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing (NLP) are subsets of AI to tackle different areas of data processing and modelling. This review article presents an overview of AI's impact on education outlining with current opportunities. In the education domain, student feedback data is crucial to uncover the merits and demerits of existing services provided to students. AI can assist in identifying the areas of improvement in educational infrastructure, learning management systems, teaching practices and study environment. NLP techniques play a vital role in analyzing student feedback in textual format. This research focuses on existing NLP methodologies and applications that could be adapted to educational domain applications like sentiment annotations, entity annotations, text summarization, and topic modelling. Trends and challenges in adopting NLP in education were reviewed and explored. Contextbased challenges in NLP like sarcasm, domain-specific language, ambiguity, and aspect-based sentiment analysis are explained with existing methodologies to overcome them. Research community approaches to extract the semantic meaning of emoticons and special characters in feedback which conveys user opinion and challenges in adopting NLP in education are explored.

“…In this case the importance of mitigating language barriers and cultural adaptation are emphasized. For instance, when describing the situation in Chinese universities it is mentioned that: "Chinese higher schools should provide Chinese languages and cultural classes for international students to overcome language barriers and make efforts to increase opportunities for local students to expand cultural and educational exchanges between different groups" [7]. In other words, academics should make their classes more inclusive for international students not feel isolated.…”

One of the priority goals of Russian higher education development is its export, which is reflected in the federal programs and plans. The paper addresses the issues of language education of international students at the Ural State University of Economics (Yekaterinburg). A survey helped identify the needs of international students of the first year and reveal the main problems they face. Among the most serious difficulties are poor knowledge of Russian, bad communication with teachers and domestic students, and lack of support in the group. Some recommendations to foreign language teachers are offered that can help eliminate problems in the work with mixed-nationality groups and to motivate international students to study, which will decrease dropout and provide their harmonious integration in the university.

“…Впервые сама теория и результаты применения этой теории к кросс-культурным исследованиям в 20 странах были опубликованы в нача-ле 1990-х гг., в том числе важное значение имела научная статья Ш. Шварца 1992 г. «Универсалии в содержании и структуре ценностей: теория и эмпирические тесты в 20 странах» (Hu, Dai, 2021), на основе которой в течение 30 лет проводятся соответствующие исследования в различных социально-культурных средах. Так, в работе Ш. Шварца и соавторов 2001 г. анализируется культурное своеобразие ценностных установок студентов Уганды и Италии, а также делается вывод о валидности теории основных человеческих ценностей для психолого-педагогических кросс-культурных исследований (Hu, Gu, Liu, Huang, 2003).…”

The relevance of the study is determined by the socio-cultural complexity of the educational space of modern Russian universities. The purpose of the article is to analyze the peculiarities of values formation among students of modern Russian universities. To achieve this goal, it is also necessary to test one of the possible methods for measuring the value attitudes of Russian university students based on a questionnaire using the author’s list of questions. The methods of field work in the universities of the regions of the Siberian Federal District with the help of on-line technologies: questionnaires and statistical processing of the data obtained were used. The method of critical analysis of modern pedagogical concepts was applied. Licensed IBM SPSS software was used to identify statistical patterns and correlations of field study results. 504 questionnaires of undergraduate and graduate students of the universities of the Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Republic of Tuva, the Tomsk Oblast, the Irkutsk Oblast, the Republic of Khakassia, the Novosibirsk Oblast, the Omsk Oblast, and the Altai Krai were surveyed and processed. The features of values formation related to the value of communications have been recorded: 1) contrary to the stereotypes about the prevalence of the values of virtual communication in certain age categories of students, only 2.7 % prefer exclusively virtual communication. The share of the respondents who prefer direct communication with people is quite high – 42.6 %. In the age group from 17 to 24 years, this share is slightly less and amounts 40.7 %. Exclusively virtual communications in this age category is chosen by 2.1 % of the respondents; 2) the symbolic mediators of the value environment of students are changing: for 78.6 % of students shopping and entertainment centers are preferred places for spending their free time, in the age group from 17 to 24 years this share rises to 80.4 %; at the same time, libraries reduce their influence on the value perceptions of students: only 16.5 % of the respondents visit libraries in their free time, in the age group from 17 to 24 years this share is slightly higher and amounts 16.6 %; among social networks, the social network Vkontakte has the highest value of a symbolic mediator for Russian students: 94.2 % of the respondents of all age categories use this network for communications; for the age group from 17 to 24 years this share is even higher and amounts 96.3 %; 3) the technological base for the formation of students’ value perceptions is changing, Internet technologies are used both for entertainment and for reading books by 59.5 % of students, in the age category from 17 to 24 years this share significantly prevails and amounts 64 %. The peculiarities of the formation of students’ value ideas must be taken into account when developing evaluative tools for the universal competence «diversity of cultures», among other things including the research component in the corresponding evaluation procedures
