Abstract

The article presents the results of a preliminary analysis of research data "Evaluation of National Higher School Reform by the Participants of Educational Process", conducted at the request of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine by Sociological Association of Ukraine at the end of 2015 – beginning of 2016 years. The choice of research method – focus-group interviews with students and teachers of local universities – is substantiated. It is emphasized that the vast majority of respondents give a negative assessment of the educational reforms implemented over the past 10-15 years. It is shown that the majority of respondents believe that the main reasons for the ineffectiveness of the reform of the educational sphere is the lack of concept and strategy of this process, the uncertainty of the mechanisms of implementation of various innovations in the activities of higher education institutions, and the lack of a clear understanding of the ultimate goal of educational reform and its resource provision.
