Scientific innovations and advanced technologies in higher education

Abstract

The modern transformation of the role of education affects the consideration and improvement of the methodological princes of education. At the same time, the constant development of the educational sector entails the justification of the use of certain scientific innovations and advanced technologies in the system of higher education, which is the actual task of this pedagogical research. The object of the study is innovation and advanced technology in higher education. The aim of the work is to highlight innovative means, methods, and technologies in higher education, which are promising mechanisms for improving the university system of Latvia. Pedagogical methods of research (theoretical and empirical) are used in the work. Among theoretical methods of pedagogical cognition, we will distinguish analysis, synthesis, concretization, and abstraction, systemic and functional methods. The empirical methods of research used observation, experiment, and rating method, the basis of which formed the key recommendations for the implementation of the analyzed learning technologies. The results analyzed a number of problems, in particular, the issues of innovative changes in European higher education, modern advanced technologies of learning in higher education, innovative, methods, forms of development of higher education, the problem of STEM-education functioning in Latvia. The scientific novelty of the research is the proposed synthetic analysis of actual innovative methods and technologies in the system of higher education. The practical value of the work consists in the formation of recommendations for further use of innovative methods of higher education development. In the conclusion, it is summarized that the use of innovative teaching methods is an important part of modern European education. At the same time, the main advanced technologies turn to the individual development of the student, improvement of his practical skills.

Transforming Design Education іn Ukraine: Insights from Global Best Practices

“…However, the most relevant vector, especially after the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, is the effective integration of innovative digital technologies into the educational process. This is emphasised by Wojciech et al, (2021), Järvis et al, (2021), Zeyab and Alayyar (2023). A relatively new, but rather acute problem is the use of artificial intelligence (Huang et al, 2023).…”

“…Wojciech, Sobczyk, Waldemar, and Pochopień (2021) theoretically described and practically investigated the problem of the feasibility and effectiveness of using digital pedagogical assets. Järvis, Tambovceva, and Virovere (2021) summarized their findings on the problem of integrating innovative methods and technologies in scientific research. The team of authors focuses on such a segment of the educational system as higher education.…”

Google Digital Tools for Higher Education: Exploitation, Results, Prospects

“…The problem of using Google Meet while working remotely on mobile devices, especially those that use 3G or 4G Internet networks and support multiple SIM cards, is palpable (Oliveira et al, 2020). Partial service disruptions are also likely, sometimes failing to start or not allowing others to join an online meeting (Pangaribuan et al, 2022;Järvis, Tambovceva, & Virovere, 2021). The pluses when working with the system are indeed greater than the negative challenges, so the popularity of Google Meet will undoubtedly grow.…”

Trends and Vectors of Development of Information Educational Resources in the Context of Military Aggression

“…Many specific resources can be positioned in the perspective of the work focused on the information practices of teachers and, in particular, the elements governing the choice of resources. At the intersection of communication and didactic issues, the theoretical work mainly focuses on information and communication aspects as well as educational sciences (Järvis, Tambovceva & Virovere, 2021). This study deals with research processes, sources identification, and information processing, but it is inseparable from the processes of professional identification of the educator and the educational process.…”
