Adapting Mechanisms for Managing Quality of Pedagogical Education in Ukraine to International Educational Standards: Comparative Analysis

Abstract

Abstract The article proves that the influence of integration processes of the growth of the role of globalization requires the necessity of using and adapting international educational standards and criteria of assessing the quality in the field of national education. It is noted that contemporary European practice involves the development of culture of quality through the introduction of quality management. The emphasis is placed on the fact that in the conditions of the transformation of the socio-political system, the formation of a civil society and market relations in the process of entering our country into a single educational European space, the search for ways to ensure the quality of higher education and the creation of mechanisms for its management are updated. It is investigated that the complexity of creating quality management mechanisms is not only to coordinate the development of the concept at all levels of state government, but also to coordinate the views of various government institutions. It is emphasized that adaptation is considered as a two-way interdependent process of adapting education (institutions that teach) to the student’s personality, as well as his active inclusion in the design of an adaptive informational-and-educational environment and the development of individual educational routes. It has been found out that the main tools for determining the quality are internal and external evaluation. It is emphasized that the mechanism of quality management, in addition to assessing the provision of educational services, i.e. the process of teaching itself, focuses on the effectiveness of the functioning of higher education, i.e. the assessment of a specialist’s professional training. The necessity of participation of stakeholders (employers) in the system of management of quality of higher pedagogical education is emphasized.
