Pitfalls and drawbacks in engineering education in Russia

Abstract

The fi nancial and economic crisis of 2008-2009 was the fi rst call, which was to make the Russian society to focus on important issues, one of which is the quality of education as a basis for creating and sustaining an innovation ecosystem. Investment in education and the development of the necessary competencies are crucial in improving the competitiveness of the country: these are the competences of graduates that determine the potential productivity of the territory. Russia is facing the challenge of creating the type of economy that would enable attracting highly educated and skilled workers. This initiative is refl ected in the federal document-the Conceptual of the Federal Action Programme for the Development of Education for 2016-2020 [1], which determines the quality and competitiveness of the Russian education as the prerogative of the state policy. The paper describes the current state of the educational market on the territory of the Bologna process members. It provides a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the system of higher education in Russia with countries leading in the Global Innovation Index. The authors determined the range of problems associated with the 'insufficient effectiveness' of the educational system in Russia. Moreover, the authors proposed the view for establishing the policy aiming at development of innovative ecosystem.

Analysis of Students' Views of the Quality of Pedagogical Education in Russia

“…A large number of young people annually graduate from International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science, and Technology (IJEMST) 463 pedagogical universities in the country. At the same time, there is still a shortage of qualified personnel in preschool educational organizations and schools (Shpilina et al, 2019;Nikolaevna et al, 2019). This means that graduates either do not have motivation for professional activity or do not feel that they are sufficiently qualified specialists who are ready to work in the educational system.…”
