Abstract

The methods and means of assessing the competence of experts in the field of higher education are explored. An assessment of the competence of experts in the field of higher education using the methods for assessing the competence of experts, taking into account data uncertainty and on the basis of the analytical hierarchy process according to established criteria was carried out. The results are processed by specialized software “Competence DU 2.1” and “Competence of AHP 1.0”. Specialized software takes into account data uncertainty and applies the analytical hierarchy method. The ratio of the averages for the criteria used to assess the competence of experts in higher education was estimated. The comparative analysis of the obtained data was carried out. The results of the analysis showed the convergence and correlation of the obtained data, and also confirmed the suitability of methods for assessing the competence of experts in the field of higher education. The obtained results showed a small dispersion of average values for the criteria for assessing the competence of experts in the range from 3.7 to 6.6, which indicates a balance. The comparative analysis showed a high coincidence of the results of quantitative assessment of the competence of experts using specialized software, which is based on different methods of evaluation. The scatter of the values obtained by the applied methods indicates the presence of a correlation. The methods for assessing the competence of experts, taking into account data uncertainty and on the basis of the analytical hierarchy, are useful for comparative evaluation of the competence of experts in the field of higher education. This will allow rejecting insufficiently competent specialists, forming competent groups of experts, obtaining more reliable group expert assessments or ensuring the qualified work of agencies, specialized commissions and councils.

Highlights

  • The group expert assessment is one of the effective methods for obtaining reliable data for solving problem issues

  • The idea of introducing Quality Management Systems (QMS) in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in accordance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001 has not been widely used at the time

  • The analysis showed that in most developed countries of the world, as well as in European countries, the issue of the formation of the External Quality Assurance Agencies (EQAA) personnel is specific for each country

Summary

Introduction

The group expert assessment is one of the effective methods for obtaining reliable data for solving problem issues. Independent information on the competence of an expert in any field of activity is possible to obtain by means of a quantitative assessment. For this purpose, special questionnaires are used. Teachers are the most important resource that influences the quality of higher education according to European standards. They must satisfy a certain list of requirements, including experience, knowledge and understanding of the subject they teach, the ability to provide students with the additional universal knowledge necessary for further work. The problem of assessing the competence of experts in higher education according to the established criteria is currently important and actual
