Article is devoted to consideration of questions of transformation of a modern role of the teacher of high school which changes and supplements a substantial basis of its professional competence and demands reconsideration and acceptance of new concepts. The role and the functions of the teacher connected with problems of education of youth in educational space of high school that promotes formation of communicative skills and social intelligence of competitors of higher education which of objects of influence become its subjects is characterised. It is defined that consulting preceptorship of group carries out adviser – the key subject of the socially-humanitarian influence which functions essentially differ from functions of the curator in traditional understanding. Socially-humanitarian functions and roles of adviser of groups of competitors of higher education are presented, socially-humanitarian directions and forms of its work. Status definition in educational process of an institution of higher education of student's advisers is proved, the purpose of their activity, the primary goals and functions. The conclusion, concerning modern development of the Ukrainian higher school, its European orientation which demands from teachers of performance of a certain number of roles – not as instructors and a source of knowledge and as couch, facilitator, the tutor, the moderator, the mentor and adviser of an individual educational trajectory of competitors of higher education is drawn.

Eight Latino college students were interviewed to determine their perceptions of the role of their high school counselors. The findings revealed the following themes: (a) inadequate advisement, (b) lack of availability, (c) lack of individual counseling, (d) differential treatment, and (e) low expectations or setting limits. Despite insufficient services from school counselors, participants developed a sense of resilience and succeeded in higher education. A discussion is provided and implications for school counselors are presented.

We considered the formation and development of autodidactics in the Russian higher school at the beginning of the 20th century during the reform of the educational process, which introduced a subject system of education instead of the previously existing course. We revealed the role of L.I. Petrazhitsky in the development and implementation of the concept of autodidactics. We paid special attention to the organization of the educational process in autonomous universities. In humanitarian education, the personalist-axiological model of higher education is most effective. The traditional axiology of education determined the goals and methods of knowing scientific truth, while immersing students in the process of scientific research contributes to the development of their creative personalities. The need to be adequate to the level of achievements of the evolution of science involves the constant updating of the didactic complex: goals, content, forms and methods of learning. However, the customer of educational services forms a quasi-university focused on obtaining socio-cultural skills supposedly useful for the consumer of educational services. Such a model leads to the transformation of the scientific axiology of higher education and focuses on the criteria of utility and competence, which requires a different qualification, a different intellectual potential. There is a conflict of ambitendent innovative processes: autonomy opposes the authoritarian trend in education, while the higher school is technologizing the educational process aimed at forming narrow specialists.

Abstract With the approach of the new millennium and the emergence of the global market, significant restructuring of university education in general, and science and engineering education in particular, is taking place with the objective of preparing the students for the new social and economic order. The paradigm shift and emerging trends in engineering education demand a holistic integration of “soft” and “technical” skills. There is also an emphasis on “educational outcomes” as evidenced by student design projects and other outcome evaluation criteria. “Service-Learning”, an approach that endeavors to integrate “community service” and “student learning” has found wide acceptance in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Implemented in a novel and creative fashion, it may well provide an effective pedagogical tool consistent with the new paradigm of engineering education. The design project described in this paper integrates both “Service-Learning” and “Design Project” requirements in the first course in “Engineering Mechanics” offered at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), Engineering Program. One of the desired “outcomes” of the course is that the student not only understands the theory as discussed in class but also learns to apply the knowledge to develop and design engineering products useful for the society. The project demonstrates the development of a device that visually reinforces concepts related to Newton’s laws of motion and mechanical advantage in simple machines (lever arms, pulley systems, and springs), in consultation with a science and mathematics teacher in a local high school. In the future, the device will be utilized in the school and benefit education efforts not only at the high school level but also in the elementary and middle schools. It is anticipated that it will also help introduce the field of Engineering to school students. During the implementation of the project, other learning outcomes were accomplished in concert with the demonstration of application of engineering mechanics and providing service to the community. The student has reflected that the project has helped him in realizing the “role” of the customer in engineering design, developing a clear perception of constraints in space, time and budget in implementing projects, and improving communication skills. It has also given him a better appreciation of the role of engineering in society and helped his inner growth as an individual and a citizen.

The article examines the breakthrough of Bedouin women in Northern Israel, based on the testimony of twenty young Bedouin women who did not accept the ‘traditional’ role of the woman, in the family in particular and in Bedouin society in the village in general. This group of women succeeded in breaking the boundaries of the tribe and struggled for the right to complete high school and even to study in the institutions of higher education.
