Abstract:The present study was produced to investigate how university professors experienced the transition from on-site higher education to teaching in distance education, focusing on teaching subjectivity in the variations resulting from the new work situation. Methodologically, it is a qualitative research conducted by semi-structured interviews and which adopted the case study as a strategy, aiming at the detailed characterization of the changes produced in the ways of working. The discussion of the results reveale… Show more
“…The development of technology can create new learning formats, improve access to knowledge, and ensure deeper integration with other fields of science and technology. Expanding the diversity of higher education will increase the number of specialties and study programs (Sardi & Carvalho, 2022;Simpson, 2013). At the same time, there may be an increase in competition between higher education institutions, which may result in some of them ceasing to exist as less competitive (or significantly limiting the quality of educational services provided).…”
Globalization processes of the XXI century have a significant impact on the development of all spheres of society, including the formation and transformation of the higher education system. The purpose of the article is to analyze the aspects of adaptation of the educational process of higher education to the global challenges of the XXI century through the prism of future transformations. The paper uses general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction and induction) and specialized (forecasting, abstraction) methods of scientific work. The principles of objectivity, scientificity, and systematicity were fundamental. Given the theoretical nature of the study, 41 items of the latest relevant literature of 2015-2023 were processed, which highlight the main aspects of the development of modern educational processes and the prospects for these vectors in the future. The results trace the aspects of adaptation of higher education to the requirements of the modern labor market. The need for structural changes in the university education of the future is emphasized. Some changes in the field of humanities education are also traced, which will change towards multidisciplinarity and integration with digital technologies. The conclusions state that rapid digital and technological transformations complicate the training of specialists, but educational institutions in Europe and the United States are actively working to respond to these challenges, including the introduction of lifelong learning and an emphasis on digital technologies, programming, and robotics. It is also argued that humanities education is also undergoing changes, including additional emphasis on a comprehensive understanding of cultural processes and global challenges, the development of critical thinking, digital and technological skills, intercultural competence, ethical and moral values, creativity and innovation, and the ability to communicate effectively and work in a group. The development of soft skills against this background is one of the most important processes.
