“…In addition, there are systemic limitations to the use of e-learning in inclusive higher education. Thus, Martins & Nunes' research [8] demonstrated that the connection between the use of the latest achievements of ICT, e-learning tools and improvement in information perception by the students, increase in their training quality does not always exist. In a number of cases, the students find just simply an easier way to learn using ICT.…”

The objective of this work is to study the limitations and opportunities for e-learning development in the inclusive education system in higher education establishments. To determine the possibility of e-learning application in inclusive higher education, the principles of evolutionary economics and institutional theory were used. It is shown that e-learning development in the national higher education system and its perception by the higher inclusive education system depends on the development level of social and information interrelations in society. Moreover, e-learning application in inclusive higher education is possible only in collaboration with traditional learning. E-learning efficiency in inclusive higher education depends on institutional environment existing both at state level and separate university level. Herewith, institutional environment should be aimed not only at e-learning development and inclusive education, but also their collaboration. The results achieved are verified by empirical study of e-learning implementation into the inclusive higher education system by the example of Russia. The results of the conducted research, which indicated peculiarities, opportunities and limitations of an e-learning mechanism in inclusive higher education, can be applied to increase its efficiency both at separate universities level and at the level of state strategies formation for higher education development.

The purpose of the article is to justify the increasing role of a university department in achieving the major objective of higher education, namely to train highly qualified specialists for the national economy. The article contains some of the results of monitoring (questionnaire) of 350 heads of departments of Russian universities, as well as 30 experts -experienced representatives of the university management. The factors that complicate the job of university departments and their heads have been identified; new requirements for professional competence of heads of departments have been established; the results of the analysis of changes in the structure, content and priorities of the activities of heads of departments have been stated. Based on the results of a survey of heads of departments and highly qualified experts, measures to improve management efficiency at a university department as a key element of a Russian University have been proposed.

The article presents an analysis of the problems that arise in connection with the definition of the prospects for the sociology of higher education in the context of the features of the current stage of development and crisis processes in sociological knowledge itself. Authors believe, even a deep “immersion” of researchers into the educational environment does not always allow to adequately represent and explain the processes developing within it, that is due not only to limitations associated with the specifics of the science itself and the attitudes of researchers, but also with the bureaucratisation of educational reality, that minimises and in a number of cases even excludes the possibility of its sociological interpretation. The empirical base of the work was: 1) studies conducted by the authors or with their participation in universities of the Belgorod region and other regions of Russia from 2005 to 2023, including those organised by the Center for Social Technologies of BelSU; 2) secondary analysis of research carried out by graduate students, doctoral students and applicants in the preparation of their work in the dissertation council in sociological sciences at the Belgorod State National Research University; 3) an expert survey of specialists in the field of sociology of education, conducted by the authors in February 2023 (N=38). Based on the analysis of theoretical and empirical sources, the authors identify several circumstances that determine the emergence of barriers in the study of processes in higher education by sociologists. They are the corporativisation of modern universities in its &quot;economic and managerial&quot; dimension; the specifics of the attitude to sociological diagnostics of both the university bureaucracy and other participants in the educational process - teachers and students. In many cases, their position is not complementary to attempts to clarify certain aspects of the university's self-organisation. The very possibility of discussing them is often initially perceived by the participants as undesirable. According to the authors, under such conditions, any research aimed at obtaining the most relevant to reality, and not the results set in advance by the customer, takes on a peculiar form of &quot;sociological investigation&quot;. At the same time, we are not talking about a formal replacement of terms, but about a significant adjustment of the approach, due to the characteristics of the object and subject of cognition, the capabilities of the subject and the situation in which the diagnosis is carried out.
