Challenging problems of pedagogical interaction in higher education of the Russian Federation

the publication deals with the problems of pedagogical interaction process (PIP) in the system of higher education of the Russian Federation. Introduction of informative and interactive technologies into the educational process created a negative tendency in the pedagogical interaction process by distancing a lecturer from a learner. The author has made an attempt to define the most important aspects that influence the PIP to the utmost extent. Eight main aspects that complicate the PIP of subjects and objects of the educational process have been identified: 1) globalization and centralization of higher education system in Russia for successful competition between national and foreign universities; 2) change in the logics of PIP because of misbalancing the interaction between two status subjects of PIP; 3) change in PIP research vocabulary;4) change of the PIP content; 5) prerequisites for PIP narrowing and scaling back in Russia; 6) objective gender and age conflicts that influence the effectiveness of PIP; 7) change of PIP context and its replacement by formalization; 8) inertia of lecture's professional awareness. Theoretical significance of the article is in the complex approach to the analysis of functioning and development of problems in the system of PIP in higher education of the Russian Federation. Practical value is in the author's use of factual statistics data and personal pedagogical experience.
