Pedagogy and education

Barbashin, M. Yu. Institutes of Higher Education and Social Dilemmas (Comparative Analysis of the Russian and American Systems of Education)

Abstract: The article analyzes institutional processes in the system of higher education in Russia and United States. It is underlined that higher education is required for civil development because a democratic society needs educated citizens who would participate in the decision-making process. Since one of the declared targets of institutional reforms at universities is the transition to innovation-driven education which would guarantee a proper level of proficiency of graduates in comparison with the leading universities (mostly American ones), it is necessary to carry out a comparative analysis of institutional processes which would lead to positive changes. By using the provisions of comparative analysis and neoinstitutionalism, the author of the article views the leading institutions which implementation in the Russian education environment (taking into account the national specifics) would make the transition to innovation-driven education easier, raise proficiency level of graduates and help Russian universities to achieve the international standards.

Keywords:

education, neoinstitutionalism, institutes, university transformations, comparative analysis, social dilemmas, Russian society, education reform, academic community.
