“Scientific and Research Universities” conception today
Negotiation ImplementationTop-priorities:
• attracting students to the scientific and research self-directed work
• increasing the scientific potential of university teachers
• stimulating the broad expansion of works of all the research fellows
3
HEI Ranking Indicators
Prestige Value
All the rest of indicators:• scientific publications • licences• government grants • awards • equipment status • scope of finance for
research etc.
Indicator №1:Quality of Education VS.

Objective
to emphasise the key role of universities development
UNIVERSITY = EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
5
Higher Education – Central Tasks
• equipping the big amount of students with education of the best quality;
• training decent specialists; • training the considerable amount of
practitioners (not only certain research scientists).
6
Efficiency of Students’ Scientific Workdepends on:
• the extent of quality and learner-centred definitive training in the very beginning of the university studies;
• the qualification and capability of pedagogues to identify and to maintain the potential each of the students.
Qualified teachers
Qualified specialists

Who is a “Higher School Teacher”?This person
• Has a deep knowledge in subject matter;• Is involved in research work;• Implements their scientific results as a matter of
practice. The University TeacherIs NOT just a scientific worker
The Higher School TeacherDeals with Students

What is Teaching?Teaching any subject is the genuine
and subtle art.
It is essential to know
WHAT HOW
to teach
9
Where will such university teachers come from?
NOT FROM WITHOUT…
The answer is:The university itself should prepare such
experts.
Source of teaching personnel: young people (succeed in disserting) apply for
teaching.
10
Pros and ConsYoung People
• gain the diverse body of knowledge related to their profession • become promising researchers in the long run
• are not aware of common principles, up-to-date methods and practical approaches of effective teaching
BUT
11
How to Make a Good Teacher
teach everything oneself using “cut and try method”
ORhave meaningful and comprehensive
guided practice
Let’s give a helping hand to those whodo have the vocation for teaching and ready to
pass on the torch to the young people
12
Solution of the Problem
• Problem: establishment of purposeful training of qualified teaching personnel within the walls of universities.
• Solution: organise an education program for postgraduate (PG) students who will have scientific preparation as well as guided practice of teaching.
• Result: Thanks to this practice the PG school will take the fully legitimate and system-forming function.
13
MSU implementation strategy
• Objective: implement educational program for teaching personnel preparation for higher school
• Place: Moscow State University (MSU)• Faculty: Faculty of Educational Studies (the FES) • Date of establishment: on Rector’s initiative (Victor
A. Sadovnichy) in 1997• Students’ motivation: involved in research work and
in varied spheres of science at different MSU faculties learn the ropes of the educational work principles
