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.

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.

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.

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 paper examines the implications of the Longman Communication 3000 word list for the teaching of English pronunciation at university level. In particular, I examine to what extent selected university curricula in France teach the pronunciation of this minimum of words and what modifications might be suggested to better serve the needs of students in equipping them with the pronunciation of contemporary, current vocabulary. It will be shown that this word list offers a wide range of useful examples to illustrate phonological phenomena, but teachers of English pronunciation/phonology might need to consider, for expository purposes, examples other than those found in standard handbooks of English phonology. I will show that using Longman Communication 3000 does not compromise the teaching of English phonology in any way, nor does it restrict the vocabulary to be taught. Quite the contrary, I am simply suggesting a conscious approximation of what is phonologically interesting/important to what is to be taught first.

The article deals with foreign language learning policy making in Europe and in European higher education in particular. The study points out that demands are made not only for the recognition of a citizenship of residence, but also for an acknowledgement of the value of a diversity of languages and cultures for all countries. The leading European agencies (The Council of Europe, The European Union) decisions and activities directed at the promotion of foreign language learning in higher education are considered. The efforts made to raise awareness of the European Union and Council of Europe recommendations for promoting language learning and linguistic diversity across Europe and to promote European co-operation in developing language policies and practices for higher education are discussed. The article also focuses on the implications of the Bologna Process for the field of HE language education (languages and academic mobility, languages and employability, lifelong language learning). The investigated data prove that globalization and integration set a new economic context for the developments in HE foreign language provision. The adopted decisions are connected with raising foreign language proficiency at the individual, national and supranational levels. The tasks and practical solutions are aimed at the creation of a European Higher Education area, allowing for mobility of students, graduates and higher education staff; preparing students for their future careers and for life as active citizens; offering broad access to high quality higher education, based on academic freedom by means of promotion language learning in higher education and acquisition of foreign language skills. The calls for academic mobility lead to understanding that students, graduates, and teaching staff need a potentially wide range of communicative skills which arise out of the various tasks which they may have to perform in a foreign language (gaining access to specialised material in another language, participating in mobility programmes and in international projects, the professional communication skills, socialization skills etc.) The priorities of foreign language learning and teaching within European higher education context are characterized (needs analysis, professionally-oriented language learning, creating diversity of language learning models).

The aim of this paper is to analyse selected conditions of professional achievements of young polish employees with higher education degrees. The number of graduates has raised significantly in the last twenty years and they are employed not only as the professionals, but also on the positions, which do not demand academic qualifications. The author makes the hypothesis that the amount of cultural capital (in Pierre Bourdieu comprehension) has influence on the position on the labour market. On the basis of the qualitative research, there are the premises to acknowledge the influence of cultural capital on professional achievements. The conclusion from the analysis of polish graduates’ biographies is that occupational position of the employees equipped equally in cultural capital in the institutionalized state (diploma) may depend on the competences acquired during socialization process, which refers to the cultural capital in the embodied state. The paper presents a typology of young employed graduates in terms of their work expectations. The typology reveals how the primary socialization and acquired cultural capital influence the young employees’ attitude to their work and career – if they are preservative and focused on safety guarantees, or creative, looking for their professional development and self-fulfillment.

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 present investigation has been conducted to compare the level of environmental awareness among the University of Warsaw Bachelor students of selected fields of study, which are: economics, geography and environmental protection. Diagnostic survey method was used to collect data from 180 students. The research interviewees included 60 economics students (equivalent to 33.3% of all respondents), 56 geography students (31.1% of respondents) and 64 environmental science students (35.6% of respondents). The gender division was as follows: 119 females (66.1% of all respondents) and 61 males (33.9%) took part in the research. The survey consisted of two parts. The main part - “The study of environmental awareness” - referred to the dependent variable. Respondents were asked to provide answers to 21 questions. Twenty of them were closed-ended questions, while one was open-ended. The second part was demographics, which referred to independent variable – selected socio-demographic characteristics of respondents. The data were subjected to descriptive and chi-square analyses. Statistical analysis software STATA for Windows was used for statistical analysis. The significance level was set at 5%. The study showed that the field of study significantly affects the answers declared by students in 6 of 21 questions (number: 6, 8, 11, 12, 16 and 20). Gender significantly affects the answers declared by students in 2 questions (number: 2 and 10). It can therefore be assumed that field of study had much stronger influence on student’s level of environmental awareness than their gender.

This study aims to find higher education students’ perceptions about environmental issues and how the perceptions are related to perceptions of media coverage. This study investigates higher education students’ perceptions of the seriousness of environmental issues and their relation to perceptions of media coverage. Higher education students perceived a global problem, lack of clean water, as most serious environmental problem. Media has had an effect on students’ perceptions on environmental issues: when students perceived the problem as serious they also perceived the information in media concerning it appropriate. Students perceived that the media underestimate and obscure some environmental problems such as biological diversity and global warming. It was concluded that higher education educators need more knowledge of students’, future decision makers’ concerns and perceptions about environmental issues to develop more effective teaching practices in higher education. Through education environmental issues literacy, which is a precursor for engaged protection of the environment, can be fostered. This study offers some insights into higher education students’ perceptions of the media’s role in environmental issues.

A large number of stakeholders are demanding more education for sustainable development (ESD) at Swedish universities, among them students who are expecting to find ESD in their courses. The aim of the article is to present a model for how to develop a course to include ESD when no updated textbooks are yet available and Bloom’s taxonomy is used for demonstrating the high level of learning that can be achieved without any syllabus changes. The setting for the case study and model development was a course in service marketing with a diverse group of students in terms of their background and education, at Umeå School of Business, Economics, and Statistics at Umeå University in Sweden. The course took place in the middle of the education program. Techniques such as lectures, guest lectures, assignments based on the theoretical textbook content, and a term paper were used to incorporate ESD into the course in order to accomplish possibilities for generic use. A challenge in designing ESD was the lack of knowledge about the students’ initial understanding of sustainability. The model was designed to take this into account. The design of assignments showed clear possibilities of achieving high levels of learning in terms of Bloom’s taxonomy, including analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The model is also an endeavor to encourage university teachers to introduce elements of ESD in their usual courses.

The aim of the Trends I has been to provide an overview of structures throughout the European Union and the European Economic Area and an outline of areas of divergence and convergence within these learning structures. Trends II confirms all the main conclusions reached in the Trends I report; reinforces the observation concerning the move towards a two-tier system, but not necessarily corresponding to the definitions used for the degree structure outlined in the Bologna Declaration; confirms the observation concerning the move towards accreditation; shows that long study programmes at all levels, and rather inflexible mono-disciplinary curricula still exist in several countries and would need to be adjusted to meet the principles of the Bologna Declaration. The title “Progress towards the European Higher Education Area” was chosen for Trends 2003 as the report concentrated not only on changes in learning structures in Europe, but for the first time analyses and compares developments from the point of view of all the major actors in the process. Trends IV provided European-wide analysis of how universities were responding to the challenges of implementing the Bologna reforms. It was a significant publication for all those concerned with European higher education, whether universities and students, or governments, business and industry, and other stakeholders. Trends V showed the progress made by Europe’s universities in implementing the Bologna reforms, and outlined the main challenges Trends 2010 confirmed that the Bologna method – cooperating with higher education, students, and other participants led to clear advances. Some of the most concrete changes included the reform of Doctoral education and the European quality assurance framework. The success of national implementation had been often predicated on the involvement of higher education institutional participants and students in national policy development. Trends 2015 is the seventh in the series of Trends reports published by the European University Association. The main goal of Trends 2015 is to document the universities’ perceptions of the changes that have taken place in European higher education in the past five years particularly in relation to learning and teaching.
