АНАЛІЗ ОСНОВНИХ ХОЛДИНГІВ ДЛЯ ФОРМУВАННЯ СВІТОВИХ РЕЙТИНГІВ ПРОВІДНИХ УНІВЕРСИТЕТІВ

Abstract

At the present stage of development of society, institutions of higher education (HEI) strive to occupy stable ranking positions among competitors at the national and global levels. Increasing competition in the field of education has led to the creation of mechanisms for assessing the activities of educational institutions. The assessment of the activities of the HEI should be carried out both at the state level and by independent expert institutions, taking into account the index of academic integrity, the index of the academic reputation of the HEI, the index of employers' satisfaction with university graduates, the achievements of the educational institution, the wishes of students, scientific, scientific and pedagogical workers. Such monitoring is carried out to assure students, administration and the state that the given HEI has a high level of expert assessment. In world practice, independent organizations are engaged in the development and implementation of methods for independent assessment of the quality of education, in particular the ratings of educational institutions, using the results of international comparative research in the field of education. For example, such information holdings, with the help of which world university rankings are formed: THE World University Rankings (an annual publication of university rankings according to the Times Higher Education magazine), QS World University Rankings (a global study and the accompanying ranking of the best higher educational institutions of world significance in terms of their achievements in the field of education and science Calculated according to the methodology of the British consulting company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), The Academic Ranking of World Universities (affiliated with the Institute of Higher Education, Shanghai Jiaotong University). The indicator of high competitiveness of the HEI is confirmed by joining the international ranking and occupying positions close to the world's leading universities. The methodology for ranking holdings consists in calculating a rating by indicators that assess key criteria. Each indicator has its own percentage of the total score. These rating systems make a significant contribution to the quality of education in countries. With the help of these information holdings, the university can show its strengths in order to have a high rate of competitiveness among the HEIs and attract the attention of prospective students, their parents, scientific and pedagogical workers, teachers and employers.
