This trend means that along with the rapidly growing part of other countries in the global market, there are new actors, who have choosen an active strategy of educational services exports.Item The Phenomenon of Atrophy of the Role Among Working Students and Its Determinants(ДВНЗ «Київський національний економічний університет імені Вадима Гетьмана», 2019) Kutyło, ŁukaszThe paper addresses the phenomenon of atrophy of the social role among working full-time students. The term ‘atrophy’ must be understood as the disappearance of duties binding upon the individual that regulate his/her role. In the case of students, this phenomenon may result in the noticeable decrease of their commitment in education process. For the purpose of identifying the origins of the atrophy, a survey was conducted among undergraduate students (N=306) from Faculty of Economics and Sociology at University of Łódź. The analysis of data acquired from this survey shows that the atrophy may be influenced by the weakening of these cognitive structures that are responsible for the formation of the sense of meaning, sense of belonging and belief about compliance with these duties by others. In addition, it seems that impact on atrophy has an intensity of students’ social life.Item Collaborative Online International Learning Practice as a Teaching Pedagogy in Higher Education: Japanese University Experience(ДВНЗ «Київський національний економічний університет імені Вадима Гетьмана», 2019) Belarga, OliverWith the growth of collaborative online learning, more students are experiencing educational environments characterized by cultural diversity.

Various experiential learnings in understanding culture and critical issues prevailing in Southeast Asia and Japan were also pinned down in this paper. Finally, this intends to encourage learners and instructors to set out an online academic partnership and adopt COIL as a teaching pedagogy which may be relevant in the rapidly expanding field of global education.Item Assessment and Assessment Design(ДВНЗ «Київський національний економічний університет імені Вадима Гетьмана», 2019) Pond, KeithThis paper focuses on the importance of assessment as part of the student learning journey in higher education. Assessment is, however, a product of many influences, often strong and rarely within the complete control of individual teachers. Whilst the paper explores Constructive Alignment theory and the influences of curriculum design it also uses the illustrative example of seminar responses at the Faculty of Economics of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. At the seminar, held in May 2018, the following overall objectives were set out: 1. To provide an overview of the UK regulation of Higher Education as an example of a Quality Assurance based system. 2. To link the constructivist paradigm with global accreditation in Business Education. 3. To discuss different types of assessment and different assessment design. Assessment is not only the focus for many students but also the visible evidence of good pedagogic design and sound quality assurance. The seminar included some interaction with delegates and the paper contains observations and feedback on the interaction of the academics at the seminar within a pedagogic framework mirrored in global educational quality assurance systems. Analysis of the interactions reveals a shared understanding of constructive alignment of assessment design within an environment where innovation is not common.
