The system of internal quality assurance of the training of qualified specialists: the potentials of a circular model of building a structure to increase the efficiency of public management of the competitiveness of higher education institutions...
Abstract
Program documents of the international, national and regional levels institutionalize the problem of ensuring the higher education quality at the level of one of the priority areas of ensuring social development. This significance of the issue of the higher education quality is due to its direct connection with both the increase in the level of competitiveness of higher education institutions and with the development of the human capital of the state. The vast majority of scientific research carried out in this direction is focused on solving purely theoretical issues of the functioning of the quality assurance system of higher education or issues of the quality assurance system of the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance. This concentration of scientific attention leaves unexplored the issues of the practice of functioning of the quality assurance system of higher education in general and the practice of quality assurance of educational activities at the university level.
Within the framework of this publication, the research attention was focused on the issues of structuring the system of ensuring the quality of educational activities and the quality of higher education by institutions of higher education, and on determining the conditions for the effective use of the circular model of building the structure of the internal quality assurance system. The relevant issues were considered through the prism of public administration of the competitiveness of higher education institutions and the development of the human capital of the state.
In accordance with the results previously obtained by the authors of this publication on actualization of the content of the system of internal quality assurance at five main levels (the level of the academic council of higher education institutions and its commissions; the level of the administration of higher education institutions; the level of units directly involved in the implementation of educational programs; the level of scientific and pedagogical workers involved in the implementation of educational programs; the level of support of procedures and practices for ensuring the quality of educational activities and the quality of higher education) was considered the potential of using the of circular model for building the structure of the system of internal quality assurance in higher education institution. The article contains a justification for the appropriateness of using a circular model of structuring the system of internal quality assurance of educational activities and the higher education quality by the administration of higher education institutions. The article draws attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the circular structuring model, as well as defines the conditions for its effective use. In addition, the article contains a generalization regarding the limitations of the competence of public administration subjects in formation of the internal quality assurance system.
