Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the dilemmas that challenge reputation management in the context of higher education (HE). Design/methodology/approach – The paper introduces one Finnish multidisciplinary master's degree programme as a case in point. The empirical data comprises a student survey and semi-structured interviews with internal and external stakeholders whose work relates to the master's degree programme in question. Findings – The findings identify different types of dilemmas arising from collaboration between stakeholders of HE. Practical implications – The paper demonstrates how the dilemma-reconciliation method can be used to enhance reputation management in HE. Originality/value – The novelty of the paper is in applying dilemma theory (Hampden-Turner and Trompenaars, 2000) in parallel with reputation theories. Dilemma theory attributes reputation risks to conflicting aims.

Programme Effectiveness

In the system of higher university education, Master's degree programmes of study making its second stage are of major importance. Therefore, determining the effectiveness of these programmes is a significant problem. The main factor determining Master's degree programme effectiveness is based on how well it meets the needs of state economy. As a complex phenomenon, it can be described only by a set of criteria. To determine which Master's degree programme directions satisfy the market needs better is possible only when all the above criteria are integrated into a single quantity. Multicriteria evaluation methods are most suitable for solving such problems. All the criteria significances or weights should be known in this case. In the present research, 6 directions of studies have been established, e.g. biomedicine, physical, social, technological sciences, humanities and art studies. Multicriteria evaluation has shown that the programme of art studies is the best in satisfying the needs of the state economy. It is followed by the programmes of technological, biomedicine and social sciences, as well as humanities and physical sciences. Santrauka Aukštojo universitetinio mokslo sistemoje ypatingas vaidmuo tenka antrajai jo pakopai – magistrantūrai, todėl svarbi problema yra jos efektyvumas. Esminis efektyvumo rodiklis yra magistrantūros atitiktis šalies ūkio poreikiams. Ją apibūdinti galima tik daugeliu rodiklių, nes tai yra sudėtingas kompleksinis reiškinys. Apibendrintai pasakyti, kuri magistrantūros studijų kryptis geriau atitinka rinkos poreikius, o kuri blogiau, galima tik visus minėtus rodiklius sujungus į vieną dydį. Tokiems uždaviniams spręsti gerai tinka daugiakriteriniai metodai. Juos taikant reikia žinoti lyginamąsias visų rodiklių reikšmes ir svorius. Tiriant buvo nustatytos šešios studijų kryptys – biomedicina, fiziniai, socialiniai, technologiniai, humanitariniai mokslai ir meno studijos. Daugiakriterinės analizės rezultatai parodė, kad šalies ūkio poreikius geriausiai atitinka meno studijos. Po jų eina technologiniai, biomedicinos, socialiniai ir humanitariniai bei fiziniai mokslai.

The City

The purpose of the study is to present the methodological fundamentals of the development of cultural and educational environment of the city within primary education. We proved the necessity of revising training techniques for teaching culture under conditions of higher education. We explained top priority of orientation towards humanitarian, anthropological and axiological approaches to organization of mastering local lore at school and university. The cultural and educational environment of the city, i.e. the place, where a person was born, is considered as a tool for the interiorization of universal human values. The study gave reasons for importance of involving children in local lore activities at primary school age. Local lore is considered as a scientific basis for designing the content of school subjects; as a cultural training, activity aimed at learning about the heritage of one’s native city, preserving and enhancing the cultural level of the region, its inner potential; as a social activity aimed at developing civic mindedness. The article determined the possibilities of using local lore to teach moral and spiritual values to primary schoolchildren. The study described experience of creating and implementing a project-based research-based master’s degree programme at Saratov State University, aimed at training primary school teachers to use local lore materials in the educational process at school. The article reveals the structural and content components of the educational programme, the main forms and teaching methods. The article outlines the topics for student projects in the field of literary, linguistic, mathematical, and ecological local lore. We presented various methodological forms of incorporating local material in the class and extracurricular activities of younger students: compilation of interactive educational resources (books, reference books, albums, presentations, didactic problem books), preparation of quest games, virtual excursions, subject and intersubject projects. The article gives examples of cross-curricular competitions, mathematical problems with regional content. The priority area is the immersion of students (both students and schoolchildren) in the cultural environment of the city, region.
