New Tendencies in Studies within Vocational Education in Russia

Abstract

The vocational education, as the entire system, is undergone constant changes that shape new tendencies. This undoubtedly indicates that it is necessary to know about them and to apply them in a timely manner in the educational process. The purpose of this study was to identify attitudes towards new tendencies and possible issues associated with them. For research purposes the surveys were conducted among university lecturers and students. Fifty five teachers from three Russian universities were surveyed. They teach various specialties, from the humanities to the technical ones. Also, 700 students aged from 18 to 21 have participated in the survey. The survey was conducted among representatives of various specialties. The study has shown that students and teachers are aware of the variability of the educational system and noticed new tendencies in it. They also said that these tendencies are used in their universities. In order to assess the possibilities of expanding the new tendencies in the vocational education, several solutions were proposed: study of curricula and conducting surveys among university employees, explaining their importance, changes in curriculum and organizing optional training meetings with students.
