The exponential growth of technology and artificial intelligence means that the world is rapidly changing. Education is not exempt from this trend. New ways of engaging and teaching are needed. This need has been exacerbated by the arrival of COVID-19, which is stimulating higher education to reevaluate its approach to teaching and learning. This is a conceptual paper that looks at several theories and philosophies that underpin all forms of "learning" especially those theories coming from the systems paradigm which the authors consider is essential for future higher educators. Based on these theories, a new approach to higher education is proposed and an example given of how it could work in practice. The article provides a platform for further discussion and debate to support the strategic vision and direction of travel for higher education.

The secret of Taiwans innovative development breakthrough comparing with the Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia I n the modern world, where high technologies are developing rapidly from year to year, a prosperous future is open only to those countries, which are setting their priority in favor of the economy innovative development. The transformation of a raw-material and industrial model of the economy into post-industrial and science-based economy means,  rst of all, the investments into creation of high technologies. One of the examples economic miracles in the modern history is Taiwan, a county, which in a fairly short period of time has shown an exceptional example of economic transformation, giving itself the right to be considered as a modern innovative model of economy with an impressive development potential and the ability to manage effectively the potential for innovation. Let us try to use the example of Taiwan to reveal the cause-and-effect relationship between economic growth and innovation development, comparing it with the achievements of some Eastern European countries over a certain period of time.With the development of cyclical economic processes, we got entrenched trends as for continuous economic growth, they led to the ever-growing need to improve all parts of the economy. The term innovation comes from the Latin word inovatis (in in, novus new) and means update, novelty, change. In economics, the concept of innovation has become accustomed relatively recently 1 . Innovation in the modern sense is a new idea, creative thoughts, a new imagination in the form of a device or method. Innovation is often also seen as the application of better solutions that meet new or existing market needs. This innovation is due to the emergence of more ef cient products, processes, services, technologies or business models that are given to markets, governments and society. The innovation process is a set of 1 Innovation management: textbook./ chief editor. .

This paper purports that throughout history, there has been continuous interplay between the ideals of individual disciplines and the prevailing weltanschauung. It then suggests, using examples from the Arts, Physics and Neuroscience, that the current weltanschauung is gradually adopting a systems view. Economic theory provides a map for human behaviour but can never replicate the whole. The map is not the territory. The paper then critically evaluates the effects of a systems weltanschauung on Economic theory and practice. The current age is strongly connected with environmental issues. The attitudes, values and morality of Gen Z (people born after 1995) are very different to those of previous generations. Gen Z demands a stronger ethical/moral aspect to political, social and economic life and environmental principles A systems weltanschauung will combine a RV (which is aware of our physical presence in a undifferentiable, changing world, accepts a greater role for emotions, and uses reason to adjust to the world rather than master it) and a OV (which sets this presence in an individualised abstract way which it uses for planning and possibly controlling reality). It ends with an appeal for an interdisciplinarity of experts to enable the solution of current global problems. The thread to this paper is: first, the meaning of a systems weltanschauung is discussed. The paper then looks for signs and indications for the emergence of such a weltanschauung. This then initiates a critical evaluation of current economic thinking. It is hoped that such critical analysis and reflections will lead to a new level of ‘understanding economics’ rather than ‘economic understanding’ which would allow Economics to fulfil its potential as a useful and needed contributor to the global problems of today Systematic learning and education through art and music were regarded as just as important as mathematics to the training of the mind. The ability to think critically was more important than strict vocational training.

The consequence of human activity in the field of construction is an increase in the density of buildings. As a result, areas that were previously considered risky from the point of view of the quality of soil conditions or increased saturation of the soil stratum with underground communications are allocated for development. All these factors are of direct importance when it comes to the use of loess soils as a basis for the design, erection and operation of new construction facilities. Loess soils cover about 80% of the territory of Ukraine. These soils have a negative feature - the ability to reduce their mechanical properties when in contact with water and give additional collapse deformations. Therefore, a significant part of the buildings is erected in such soil conditions. That's why, the foundation structures of these buildings and structures must be designed taking into account the possibility of uneven deformations. For this reason, the relevance of taking into account the joint work of the "collapsible base - foundation - above-ground structures" system does not decrease, but even increases. Loess soils in a dry state have good physical and mechanical characteristics due to structural bonds. However, with increasing humidity, the soil porosity undergoes a sharp change, the compressive strength decreases rapidly, structural bonds are destroyed and collapse deformations occur.  The search for a reliable and economical option for foundation structures is an urgent issue in the design of buildings and structures at the modern level. This is especially relevant in the conditions of construction on soils capable of collapsing with possible water saturation. The work presents a variant design of the foundations of the building. At the same time, the impact of possible water saturation of the loess soils of the base on the stress-strain state of the foundations was considered. Different schemes of possible soaking of loess soils were considered. Different sizes and locations of water saturation zones within the building plan were considered. An analysis of the results of the numerical simulation of the joint work of the elements of the "base - foundation - above-ground structures" system was performed. The choice of the most reliable foundation option is substantiated. It has been confirmed that the size and location of loess soil water saturation zones influence the redistribution of stresses in foundation structures. It is shown that the use of variable design of foundations allows choosing an economical and reliable foundation option, if we consider different options for their parameters and take into account the negative factors of the soil conditions of the construction site and emergency situations that may occur during the operation of the building.
