A Conceptual Model of Hybrid Intelligent Assessment Systems for Higher Education
Rapidly expanding use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in higher education creates both opportunities and challenges for learning assessment. While GenAI can provide adaptive feedback and personalization, its pedagogical integration remains underdeveloped and often disconnected from established theories of learning and participatory design processes. This paper addresses this gap by proposing an integrative conceptual model of Hybrid…
The Garbage of the Garbage
This article argues that although presented as a systematic higher education reform initiative in Europe aimed at converging higher education structures, the Bologna process and its expected impact on higher education have yet to be discussed and agreed upon. The European system of higher education is emerging in the form of unintended and potentially undesired outcomes of solving political and economic problems of national and European scales. A…
The Bologna Process and the Enlightenment Project
Creating the European Area of Higher Education
On the Possibility of Life after Limbo
Cet article tente de situer l’évolution des systèmes d’enseignement supérieur “post-communistes” dans leurs contextes sociaux économiques et politiques. L’article suggère que, contrairement à une idée commune qui associe la récente expansion de ces systèmes au rôle moteur joue par la connaissance dans les secteurs clés de l’économie des pays d’Europe Centrale et de l’Est, l’enseignement supérieur de masse joue dans la région un rôle d’amortisseur…
Three bolognas and a pizza pie
Quietly, without attracting too much attention from educational sociologists in Europe, a massive process has been underway for five years that is expected to revolutionize European higher education to an unprecedented extent. Launched by a number of European governments and subsequently taken over by the European Commission, the so-called Bologna Process is expected to boost European higher education to the top of the world higher education mark…
Aristoscientists, academic proletariat and reassembling the mega-machine
Transition from state socialism to post-communist capitalism has created many tensions in Eastern European societies. This article looks at the stratification of the Estonian academic community since the early 1990s, arguing that only a limited part of the academic community has been able to carry its relatively secure position through the 'transition', whereas most of those who remain in academia have been subjected to proletarianization. After …

The War of Institutions, Episode I
The rise of the transnational capitalist class and World Bank 'aid' for higher education
This article looks at globalisation as a process of replacement of the global political order of nation states with the global economic order of transnational corporations. It is argued that this process carries far-reaching consequences, in which a growing number of spheres, including education, are subjected to the interests of the global economic order. Under the disguise of global economic development activities the new world system strives t…

Higher education reform in Estonia
Reproduction of the 'State Nobility' in Eastern Europe
This article discusses old and new, emerging patterns of elite production in Eastern Europe following the conceptual framework developed by Bourdieu for the French case. It is argued that one of the fundamental characteristics of the Soviet pattern of elite production was the systematic destruction of cultural capital. More recently, it took the form of affirmative action providing privileged access to higher education—primarily professional scho…
Market as metaphor in central and East European higher education
Markets constitute the very centre of the post-communist reforms in the countries of Central and East Europe and the former Soviet Union. The two alternative approaches available for framing the market reform conceptually are, however, both inadequate. Those in favour of revolutionary theories fail to see the strong inertia of the academe and its desire for stability. Proponents of evolutionary theories of market reforms do not recognise qualitat…

“Nobody Can Better Destroy Your Higher Education than Yourself”
This paper is devoted to the controversies surrounding higher education reform in Estonia. The main stress is put on the mechanism of quality assessment and assurance built into the bill of the Law of Higher Education. Owing to a significant conflict of interests between the HE institutions and the inability of any national level body to draw system‐wide policy, the bill has been discussed for four years and the parliamentary vote postponed sever…
