Abstract

Innovative approaches in higher education in Ukraine are crucial to address changing global education dynamics, technological advancements, and evolving workforce needs. The primary aim is to assess the significance of innovation in shaping the educational experience and teaching methodologies. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and in-depth interviews with educators across various disciplines. The collected data from 125 participants provide insights into their perspectives on the importance of innovation. The results indicate a growing interest in innovative methods among educators and students, highlighting a desire for continuous improvement in the learning process. Сhallenges related to the implementation of innovative approaches are identified, including technological barriers, limited resources, and resistance from within the academic community. In conclusion, while innovation remains a crucial component for advancing higher education in Ukraine, strategic planning and targeted support are essential for successful implementation. The study underscores the need for enhanced international collaboration, a focus on overcoming identified challenges, and the development of a comprehensive support system for educators. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on the evolution of higher education in Ukraine and offer insights for policymakers, administrators, and educators seeking to foster a dynamic and effective learning environment.
