https://doi.org/10.15372/PEMW20200205
Abstract
The article discusses the critical aspects of the transformation of the Russian educational system in the post-Soviet period during the implementation of certain Bologna principles in higher education (HE) in the context of the problem of academic freedoms and independence of universities. It is noted that the Bologna transformations in Russian higher education (for example, the artificial division into bachelor»s and master»s degrees, poorly formulated competency-based educational standards, etc.) have a dubious prognostic perspective, but, nevertheless, they continue to be introduced into educational practice. They contribute to the bureaucratization of universities, limit the traditional autonomy and independence of universities, the choice and independence of individual educational technologies even of leading professors in their field. This reduces the productivity of their scientific and educational activities, the effectiveness and quality of the educational process, as well as the positive motivation and creative component both in the work of teachers and in the attitude ofstudents to study. In modern educational practice, there are enough examples confirming the variability of student subjectivity, sometimes in the direction of its destructiveness. As an empirical base, the article uses data from sociological studies conducted among teachers offour Siberian universities and three educational institutions of further education in various areas of professional activity, as well as expert opinions of more than a hundred teachers of higher education in the Siberian region.
