The American system of higher education is admired around the world, both for its quality and diversity. Despite criticisms that are sometimes directed toward U.S. universities, they are regarded as models by many institutions elsewhere around the world. Ukraine is undergoing a dramatic transition in its higher education system. Previously reliant entirely on the government, Ukrainian universities now face declining government funding and are being encouraged to develop alternative sources of support. At the same time, strengthening higher education is viewed as a critical national strategy for growth in a global economy based on information technology. In this time of change, many universities are seeking to emulate higher education in the United States, especially with regard to the development of philanthropic support. Ukraine has also got deeply rooted giving traditions, which we find useful to understand in order to determine how or whether to adapt successful national practices, combined with progressive American experience, to our contemporary situation in higher education. Thus, the following paper introduces definitions of the key terms used in the research, and analyses their etymology as well as the way they relate to each other in an integrated whole. The establishment of common definitions is a criterion of science. The fields of institutional advancement and educational fundraising have yet to achieve such commonality, and although the paper does not resolve that problem, it offers some important distinctions. In the paper the author provides an overview of the historical tendencies and models of philanthropic giving in Ukrainian society that shed the light on why people give and on the factors and processes that influenced that behavior. Moreover, the timeline of key philanthropic events in Ukraine that refer to patronage of education and culture, beginning with the Paleolithic age up to the present days, is compiled; and the list of benefactors, set in their social context, in each of the specified periods is presented in the paper. Furthermore, the paper places contemporary educational fundraising in the context of history. It is not only a history of philanthropy, but rather a brief history of organized fundraising in Ukraine. Eventually, the focus is on the actual state of fundraising practices in the national system of higher education. The evolution of the professional field and the prospects for the development of educational fundraising as a tool to diversify sources of extramural support for university, in the context of neoliberal ideology of modern educational reforms, are discussed.

Higher education institutions are an essential, endogenous element of economic development and take part in resolving global issues. Their utilitarian role, however, may be greatly limited as a result of improper ways of financing science and didactics. The prevailing mechanism of financing didactics in public universities in Polish reality does not ensure the effectiveness of deployed resources and only partially bases on competition, thus not generating the stimuli for positive changes. The algorithm on the basis of which the resources are allocated should be modified. It should be based on criteria reflecting changes in social and economic surroundings. It should also comprise mechanisms stimulating competition between universities and enhancing the quality of didactics and science.

The rapid and extensive changes in higher education play out within a much larger, global context of change. Technology, globalization, mass enrollments in higher education, and the insatiable need of the global knowledge economy for educated workers is creating enormous pressures on higher education to adapt to meet the need.

Using data from a Master's of Public Administration (MPA) program at a Mid-western regional university in the United States, this paper studies whether Learning Management Systems (LMS) have equivalent outputs relative to more traditional educational delivery systems. In essence, are current generation LMS, used for online only instruction, equivalent to traditional teaching models when examining race and gender? This study examined certain output criteria using regression analysis and found no statistically significant difference between online and on-ground students in terms of their MPA degree GPA. However, African American student performance was relatively weaker than non-African American students in terms of GPA regardless of whether they were admitted into the online or on-ground program. This finding is consistent with other studies examining on-ground only performance. We posit that this difference was caused by their lower grades before they entered into this master's program. To combat the gap, fair grading is a good but not sufficient practice, and additional resources and remedial approaches should be in place in order to better prepare African American students as competitive as other racial groups.

Opinion provides an analysis of the admissibility of appeal against the activities of organizational units in relation to the reviewers who do not comply with the statutory deadlines for the preparation of the assessment of scientific achievements. Despite significant negative consequences of the review’s delay to the person pursuing a PhD degree or habilitation there are no legal instruments to ensure the fulfillment of the reviewers obligation to prepare the review within the statutory time limit. The current legal situation requires legislative intervention, because university employees are obligated to obtain a PhD degree within eight years from the date of employment, as a condition of further work at the university. Therefore real guarantees of the conduct of habilitation procedure in the statutory deadlines are necessary.

In the article the necessity of training of a qualified elementary school teacher, competitive at labour market, competent, fluent in the profession and related areas, ready for change, able to innovative activity, professional and social mobility is grounded. The formation of definite competencies will determine the ability of a future elementary school teacher to perform various activities, in particular musical. The purpose of the article is to highlight the main positions of musical competencies formation of bachelors of elementary education in thecontextoftheirstructuralandcontentcharacteristics. The necessity of forming musical competences of the students of the specialty «Elementary education» on the basis of analysis of the constituents of branch component of the state standards of higher education is proved. The process of formation takes into account methodological foundations, among them the following: integrated use of modern technologies of music education; systemic implementation and application of the complex of methods; the specificity of the students’ professional training. The main kinds of musical activity in branch standards are offered. They are the following: singing, movement to music, plastic intonation, playing elementary musical instruments, listening to music. This article considers the most important musical competencies of bachelors of elementary education: cognitive-perceptive (historical and theoretical (elementary), auditive, evaluative and analytical); musical-performing (vocal-speech, elementary-instrumental, rhythmic-moving); creative-integrative (improvisational, compositional, projecting). Some pedagogical ideas, principles and techniques of the most famous theories of music education are revealed. The author describes such existing methods as: the rhythmic of Emile Jacques-Dalcroze, elementary music playing according to the system of Carl Orff, relative singing after Zoltán Kodály, listening to music according to the technology of Batia Strauss. It is suggested in the article that these musical competencies most naturally complement the training of future teachers of elementary education. It is concluded that musical training can harmonize spiritual, emotional, moral, physical and intellectual parts of the personality. It is therefore important to intensify the problem of formation of musical competencies of graduates of various pedagogical specialties.

Ostatnie ćwierćwiecze to czas istotnych przemian nie tylko społeczno-ekonomicznych, ale również dokonujących się zmian w szkolnictwie wyższym. Obserwowanym skutkiem tych przemian jest regres w kształceniu nauczycieli. W najbliższych latach ze szkolnictwa może odejść znacząca liczba nauczycieli, która prawdopodobnie przy obecnym systemie kształcenia nie zostanie zastąpiona przez nowe kadry.

The last quarter of a century is a time of significant transformations not only of socio-economic but also of changes in higher education. The observed effect of these changes is the recession in teacher education. In the coming years there may be a significant number of teachers leaving the education system and probably will not be replaced by new staff in the present system.

This paper seeks to investigate empirically the relationship between the enrolment at public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) and regional growth in Poland. Based on the panel data of 16 voivodeships for the period of 2000-2011, it is established that an increase in the number of students at both types of HEIs has a positive effect on the regional growth. Regardless of the specifications of the regression model, our results demonstrate, supporting the Nelson–Phelps hypothesis, that accumulation of human capital is one of the factors behind economic growth, with no differences detected between public and private HEIs.

The article deals with the concepts of technology and teaching, technological approaches of foreign scholars to the teaching in higher education; the historical aspect is also analyzed. The article highlights the main features of the technology: projecting, performance, manageability, results, diagnostic expediency, analysis of existing factors, effectiveness of methods, consistency and integrity. It is indicated that the leading factors of technological approach include motivation of individual work for gaining knowledge; the sources of this work are in the context of practical activity and studying. In Ukraine the increase of necessity in highly qualified specialists is caused by technological progress in the society. Modern experts must be efficiently and professionally prepared. The problem of teaching efficiency has always been important. Pedagogical technology gives a description, project of the process of student’s individuality formation and it must include diagnostic purposes and content of education, didactic processes and organizational forms of teaching. The components of the didactic process are: motivation as a forming of stable student’s interest to studying activity and transformation of external purposes into internal needs; cognitive activity of the student, the result of which is knowledge comprehension; teacher management depending on the purpose of study. Educational technologies should contain conceptuality – didactic, psychological, philosophical and social pedagogical argumentation of educational purposes; consistency – logics and interconnection of all parts and aspects of the process, the integrity of the designing and implementation of the educational process; the management – variation of teaching methods and tools for correction of results which are revealed in the process of diagnostics; the effectiveness of results and economic parameters; reproducibility by other teachers and departments. One of the leading factorsof technological approach is motivation of individual work with theobtainingof knowledge. Its sources are in the context of practice and lerning activity. The other important factor is flexibility of the technology and its ability to adapt quickly and flexibly to the learning environment, to the students, to time budget and to other circumstances. The cognitive teaching technology is also effective, it is based on the subjective quality of erudition and problem-modular studying and activity-based approach.

The understanding of academic freedom is the key to analyse both the essence as well as the functioning of the western university. Scientists and publicists, on one hand point out that the idea of academic freedom lies in the heart of political and academic struggle for the future of the university, on the other hand they agree that this freedom needs to be protected. In this article I attempt to answer numerous questions concerning the essence of the university including: What is freedom and what are its forms in the view of the commercialization of the market of educational services and research?

The article presents chosen results of research carried out twice in the field of professional careers of graduates of pedagogy in the Pedagogy, Sociology and The Health Science Departments at the University of Zielona Góra. The first edition of the research, completed in 2010, included the graduates of 2005-2009. The second edition of the research completed in 2013 diagnosed the following graduates of pedagogy (2010-2013) by means of the same method and tool. The answers to the following questions were sought: what is the current professional situation of the graduates, what were their expectations towards their first employment, what requirements on the employers’ part did they encounter at the very beginning of their careers, which factors facilitated or hardened their start? The research also allowed for the retrospective assessment of preparation to employment, the choice of studies specialisation as well as recommendation of the university, department, specialisation to others. The results of the research do not confirm the current opinion about the particularly unfavourable situation of pedagogy graduates in the labour market viewed as inferior compared to the situation of graduates of other specialisations. Although the comparison of professional situation of the participants in the first and the second edition of the research seems more favourable for the first group. The positive aspect is the fact that majority of graduates were satisfied with their chosen path of education, moreover, they recommended their university to others.

W artykule przedstawiono wybrane wyniki, prowadzonych dwukrotnie, badań losów zawodowych absolwentów kierunku pedagogika Wydziału Pedagogiki Socjologii i Nauk o Zdrowiu Uniwersytetu Zielonogórskiego. Pierwsza edycja badań, zakończona w 2010 roku, obejmowała roczniki 2005 – 2009. W drugiej edycji, zakończonej w 2013 roku, tą samą metodą, tym samym narzędziem diagnozowano kolejne roczniki (2010-2013) absolwentów pedagogiki. Poszukiwano odpowiedzi na pytania o to, jaka jest aktualna sytuacja zawodowa absolwentów, jakie mieli oczekiwania wobec pierwszej pracy, z jakimi wymaganiami ze strony pracodawców zetknęli się na starcie w zawodzie, jakie czynniki pomagały lub utrudniały ten start. W badaniach uwzględniono także retrospektywną ocenę przygotowania do zawodu, wyboru kierunku studiów oraz rekomendację uczelni, wydziału i kierunku innym. Wyniki badań nie potwierdzają obiegowej opinii o szczególnie niekorzystnym położeniu absolwentów pedagogiki na rynku pracy, gorszym od absolwentów innych kierunków. Chociaż porównanie sytuacji zawodowej uczestników pierwszej i drugiej edycji wypada korzystniej dla pierwszej grupy. Pozytywnym akcentem jest fakt zadowolenia większości absolwentów z wybranej ścieżki kształcenia i udzielone uczelni rekomendacje.

During the last decade translation in foreign language teaching has experienced renewed interest. At present, research in this area focuses not so much on the advantages and disadvantages of translation, but on the question of how it can be optimally integrated and taught in higher education. We decided to look for an answer to that question in the didactics of translation and foreign language education. The result of our study is the teaching model that we present in this article. We also demonstrate how we applied this model during the practical FL-translation classes taught to third-year undergraduate students of the programme offered by the Dutch Chair of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin where translation is taught as part of the Dutch language learning programme.
