СТАНДАРТИЗАЦІЯ В СИСТЕМІ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ОСВІТИ І НАВЧАННЯ

Abstract

The question of standardization of education as a component of determining the level of its quality is considered on the basis of regulation mechanisms and evaluative technologies – state attestation and accreditation of educational institutions. The attempt to streamline the conceptual apparatus of the current legislation in the field of vocational education in accordance to the requirements of modernity in particular includes the terms "standard", "state social standards", "standard of education", "state standard of vocational (vocational) education", "service of education" ; certain objects of standardization (the content of vocational education and its formation system); forms and periodicity of checking the level of knowledge, skills and professional qualifications of students, students of vocational education institutions; means of qualification certification of graduates; educational and planning documentation. It is emphasized the importance of introducing into the system of vocational education such concepts as "state standard" and "professional standard". The author's vision of improvement of the current legislation is proposed by specifying the tasks of professional education in the light of the draft Law of Ukraine "About vocational education"; directing efforts to systematically support the image of an educational institution, ensuring high results of doing, adherence to the requirements of the implementation of the state plan and the placement of graduates; development of the state standards of vocational education for each working profession on the basis of a competent approach. It is determined that other components of educational activity - management, financial-economic and commercial-production – need to be standardized. The ways of further improvement of the professional world system are proposed: approximation of the content of the state standards of the VET to the requirements of employers, dynamic response to socio-demographic challenges, work on increasing the prestige of the workers 'professions, licensing of workers' professions and certification of UPTE.
