Профессиональные стратегии преподавателей: идеи неовеберианцев в реалиях российского высшего образования
Высшее образование в России. 2024. Т. 33. № 12. С. 31–49.
Based on the theoretical framework of Max Weber and the neo-Weberians, the authors consider the profession of a University teacher in the dichotomy of “work with filling” (value-rational strategies) and performing routine professional functions (goal-rational strategies). Based on the data of the study “Professional strategies of teachers of higher education in modern Russia” indicators (mobility level, employment rate, career paths) are selected and justified, which allow teachers to attribute their professional strategies to the goal-rational or value-rational.
The study showed that most teachers adhere to a goal-rational strategy, limiting themselves to fulfilling the minimum requirements of a professional contract. Value-rational strategies are characteristic for teachers with a high level of competences. Most young teachers under 39 follow goal-rational strategy. Value-rational strategy is characteristic of pre-retirement teachers. This increases the risk of a decrease in the quality of higher education due to the ageing of teaching staff.
The authors conclude that “social closure” of the teaching profession is legalized, while maintaining the status quo and agreeing with the rigid regulatory framework in the neo-Weberian tradition.

The communist morality created in the USSR to form a “new man” was based on a code of moral values that replaced traditional religious ideas with the ideological postulates of a one-party dictator ship. The crisis and collapse of this ideology in post-Soviet Russia led to the emergence of an “ethi cal vacuum” — moral ...

Teaching argumentation in foreign language classes is a promising approach, as it enhances students' critical thinking and improves the quality of their academic work. Despite the rather widespread use of explicit methods for developing argumentation skills, the implicit approach remains underexplored. This paper proposes a system for organizing implicit argumentation instruction in English based on ...
