THE NEW MODEL OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OR PRIVATIZATION OF UNIVERSITIES?

Автор характеризує суперечності нової моделі економічної діяльності університетів, пов’язані з генеруванням ними власних (позабюджетних) доходів і збільшенням частки приватних джерел фінансування. Закордонні вчені розглядають такі процеси як приватизацію державних університетів. Стаття узагальнює їхні думки щодо передумов, видів і форм приватизації у сфері вищої освіти.В Україні залучення коштів приватних осіб могло б сприяти розвиткові університетів. Однак воно не зможе розв’язати навіть поточні проблеми університетів. По-перше, українські заклади вищої освіти (ЗВО) потребують значних коштів на оновлення і розширення матеріально-технічної бази, розвиток науково-дослідної роботи та фінансування інших украй важливих потреб. Такі витрати під силу лише державі. По-друге, в інституціональному середовищі України приватне фінансування університетів зіштовхується з численними пастками недовіри з боку споживачів (платників) освітніх послуг, роботодавців, приватних інвесторів і потенційних донорів. Найменшу зацікавленість у розвитку університетської освіти виявляє приватний бізнес.Автор пояснює це тим, що освітні послуги за своєю природою є довірчими благами: їхня якість не можна виміряти й оцінити під час вступу до ЗВО та укладення контракту на навчання, а іноді й під час освітнього процесу. Можна лише довіряти (або не довіряти) університетським рейтингам, оцінкам національних органів із контролю якості освіти, які беруть на себе високі витрати вимірювання якості, рекомендаціям фахівців тощо. Крім того, сам ринок освітніх послуг є ринком з асиметричною та неповною інформацією, а його суб’єкти можуть виявляти недобросовісну та опортуністичну поведінку. Наведено фактичні та статистичні дані на підтвердження таких висновків.Автор аналізує спроби акціонування університетів у деяких країнах і пропонує вивчити досвід деприватизації університетів у Польщі. Запровадження нової моделі економічної діяльності університетів потребує також змін у правовому регулюванні та часу для їх усвідомлення суспільством.

Legal Regulation of Educational Activities in Public Schools

In the paper it notes: the quality of education is a series of systemic-social qualities and characteristics that define the system of education adopted requirements, social norms, the state educational standards. The authors believe that quality education depends on the quality of requirements (goals, standards and norms), quality resources (programs, personnel potential, contingent of entrants, logistics, Finance, etc.) and the quality of the educational process (scientific and educational activities, management, educational technology), which directly provide the training. The novelty of this work is that the country's accession to the Bologna process has resulted in the need for corresponding harmonization of the current quality assurance system of higher education to the commitments made. Quality assurance of higher education at the state level is achieved by development of normative-legal, organizational, methodological and other documents regulating the system of state quality control of education. The authors note that in the implementation of many activities that should contribute to quality assurance in higher education. The subject of the study is that the current quality assurance system (external expert evaluation of activities of higher education institutions) is now at the stage adaptation of the national system of quality assurance standards and guide lines for quality assurance in the European higher educatio narea. In particular, the formation of the monitoring system and definition of rating of higher educational institutions, which in the assessment activities of the University focuses on international indicators (indicators). Even today, some universities are turning to international accreditation agencies. The study's findings is that the system of legal acts regulating the functioning of higher education, while maintaining a certain level of state regulation of activities in the field of higher education, provides an opportunity to ensure greater compliance with the professional qualification level of training of specialists for the requirements of the social division of labor and mobility system of training of specialists on the labor market. At the same time, the analysis of normative-legal acts on higher education shows that, despite the progressive legal instruments adopted in recent years aimed at the development of the education system, they still characterized by inconsistency, ambiguity, and the impossibility of monitoring the implementation of certain provisions. For the solution of problems a rising in the process of quality management of higher education, the need for further improvement and development framework. Important measure to improve the quality of education and management is the implementation of quality management systems in higher education institutions.

Sustainable Development of C.I. Under BRI-Based on the C.I. at Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu

Abstract The purpose of the research is to clarify what makes “sustainability” possible in Confucius Institute (C. I.) development when facing the challenging as well as opportunities in the international background, especially under the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI). It explores the strategies of ensuring the long-term possibility of achieving the goal of C.I. world widely, which is to teach Chinese language and to promote culture exchange between different cultures. The study concerns 3 dimensions of supportive elements: basically, management support of universities at home and abroad plays the essential role in the evolution of C.I.; furthermore, based on the links with the education section at different levels, expanding teaching branches brings stable and massive learners of Chinese language for C.I.; Finally, teaching quality control is the cornerstone of C.I. as an international exchange platform. Collectively, the research will be based on the analysis of C.I. at Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu in Romania to discuss the “sustainable development” under B&R initiative. Based on literature review and comparative research, the study will first review the literature and the background of BRI. In the second part, support from the two sides of cooperation in building C.I. and strategies concerning the expansion of teaching branches of C.I. with the link between C.I. and different levels of education section will be discussed. In the third part, last but not the least, detailed research will be done on the teaching quality control. Therefore, we may finally assume that the sustainable development of C.I. can’t be realized if any of the above condition is missed.

The Assessment of Higher Education Quality from the Perspective of Students through a Case Study Analysis

The assessment of quality in higher education from the perspective of students has three dimensions: students’ assessment of teaching, students’ satisfaction and students’ learning engagement. These differ in conceptions of quality, evaluation methods, evaluation content, evaluation purposes, traits and priorities. The authors conducted three rounds of empirical investigations to study higher education quality assessment from students’ perspective and concluded that students play multiple roles in higher education evaluation and assessment, all of which can be improved by strengthening students’ objectivity and participation, evaluating the added value of a college education oriented to student development and taking the students’ perspective as an important way to contribute to higher education quality enhancement, assurance and control, and make proper use of higher education evaluations and assessments.

Ocena jakości kształcenia w Polsce – problemy i rekomendacje

Głównym celem tego opracowania jest zainicjowanie dyskusji nad kształtem systemu oceny jakości w Polsce. Obecne rozwiązania w obszarze szkolnictwa wyższego dotyczące oceny jakości kształcenia budowane są bowiem bez strategicznej, tzn. długookresowej wizji. Konieczne tym samym staje się udzielenie odpowiedzi na nastepujące pytania: 1) Jaki ma być profil działalności PKA? Czy ma to być urząd kontrolujący uczelnie, czy też ekspercka jednostka doskonaląca procesy kształcenia na uczelniach? 2) Czy w momencie przejścia PKA na poziom jednostki eksperckiej nie powstanie niebezpieczna luka w systemie kontroli uczelni, co spowoduje zwiększenie liczby uczelni „sprzedających dyplomy”? 3) Kto w naszym systemie szkolnictwa wyższego powinien zająć się kontrolą, a kto zarządzaniem jakością? Warto także rozważyć pomysł stworzenia jednostki, która profesjonalnie zajmowałaby się kontrolą w szkolnictwie wyższym – analogicznej do Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego czy Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów. W artykule zostały wykorzystane etnograficzne badania własne. Uwzględniono w nim stan prawny z dnia 1 listopada 2016 r.

Improving the Quality of Professional Educational Programs of College Education against Modern Social and Labor Relations

While analyzing the trends towards integration of the world of labor and education, development of professional standards that determine new social and labor relations, this article deals with challenges of creating an educational program design and quality system implementation. Three groups of education quality parameters have been identified, such as quality of conditions, i.e. quality of education goal achievement potential, quality of the very process of forming professionalism of a trainee, and professional education outcome quality. The education outcome quality is ensured by the formation of professionalisms of trainees against the coherence and consistency of certain training goals and correct choice of ways to achieve such goals. Educational program design and implementation under such circumstances differs from the conventional design approach to the professional educational program. The integration of the world of labor and education in the process of students’ training at a college implies incorporation of such types of activity that are envisaged by the functional chart of the professional standard into the educational programs. The functional chart of a type of professional activity of a professional-to-be standardizes managerial actions regarding common labor functions in accordance with qualification levels for the education program design. The educational program design and implementation quality control system means continuous efforts aiming at improving the structure and content of college-level educational programs, while it is a process, an act of choice, and choice outcome, as well as command-oriented information about improving college-level educational program quality. This research concentrates on determining key parameters and quality criteria for educational program design and implementation. Keywords: College-Level Educational Program, Educational Program Quality, Integration of the World of Education and Labor, Managerial Decisions
