Abstract
The development of education and science is a priority for Russian state policy. Global trends define the main goals of the Russian higher school modernization. However, these also identify the need to overcome a number of contradictions in Russia’s national higher-education system. Pedagogical, or teacher-training, education is of special importance in the development of the entire educational system in the country. Quality education at all steps – preschool, primary, secondary (general and professional) and higher – depends mainly on the quality of pedagogical education. The modern market of educational services recognizes high quality of education and competences of students as the only advantage point for an academic institution over its competitors. Quality is the only universal commodity in the world market that increases the value of all other goods and services. The authors refer to the category of quality management in relation to higher pedagogical education, and describe the key principles of the system of quality assurance applied at Southern Federal University.
Highlights
In many respects today, the quality of human resources defines the competitiveness of the state
A significant number of officials support the idea of “folding” higher pedagogical institutions. Impartiality and radicalism, both at the same time, conclude that higher pedagogical education in Russia is superfluous, and that teachers with specialized professional preparation are redundant in the modern school system
We believe that educators in Russia should concentrate on creating a standard regulatory base for teacher training, develop the new concepts of pedagogical education, and introduce modern educational technologies into academia, rather than separate and disregard pedagogy altogether
Summary
The quality of human resources defines the competitiveness of the state. Understanding the indisputable value of human potential makes it possible to define education as the leading mechanism for reproducing culture, the source of new knowledge and human resources of high quality. Higher education often plays a critical but often overlooked role in making this vision a reality. It prepares most of the professionals who develop, lead, manage, teach, work in, and influence society’s institutions”. This approach explains the government’s steady interest in various issues of education, especially at the tertiary level. Global trends define the main goals of modernizing Russia’s higher education system on the one hand, and a need to overcome several contradictions of this system on the other
