IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL LABOR MARKETS BY SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Анотація. Метою статті є виокремлення проблем забезпечення регіональних ринків праці кваліфікованими кадрами і визначення шляхів ефективної взаємодії між закладами освіти та підприємствами. Теоретичне значення статті полягає в тому, що в ній на основі експериментального дослідження, яке проводилось у Донецькій області, було проаналізовано причини незадоволеності підприємств якістю підготовки робітничих кадрів; проаналізовано досвід співпраці закладів освіти і підприємств регіону; виокремлено бар’єри, які перешкоджують налагодженю ефективного партнерства між закладами освіти і підприємствами, спрямованого на забезпечення наявних і перспективних потреб ринку праці у кваліфікованих кадрах; проаналізовано рівень готовності підприємств регіону до співпраці із закладами у напрямі модернізації матеріально-технічної бази, стажування викладачів, спільної підготовки освітніх програм, підвищення кваліфікації персоналу; на основі аналізу результатів опитування роботодавців виокремлено професії, підготовку за якими доцільно започаткувати у закладах професійної освіти Донецької області; змодельовано модель компетенцій майбутнього кваліфікованого робітника (на прикладі професії «Слюсар з ремонту колісних транспортних засобів. Водій автотранспортних засобів (категорія «С»). Машиніст крана автомобільного»). Практичне значення статті полягає у тому, що на основі вивчення думки роботодавців Донецької області запропоновано рекомендації щодо підвищення ефективності взаємодії між закладами освіти і підприємствами Донецької області задля розв’язання проблеми підготовки кадрів для актуальних і перспективних потреб економіки регіону. Представлені рекомендації та модель дослідження можуть бути екстрапольовані на ефективний розвиток ринків праці інших регіонів країни. З’ясовано, що сучасний ринок праці, зокрема Донецької області, характеризується значнимями диспропорціями між попитом та пропозицією кадрів [практично за всіма вакансіями в розрізі професій зафіксований дефіцит, тобто пропозиція (чисельність безробітних) перевищує попит]. Найбільше не вистачає вакансій за професіями підсобного робітника, водія автотранспортних засобів, продавця продовольчих товарів, продавця непродовольчих товарів, кухаря. Натомість, дефіцитними професіями, які мають попит на ринку праці, є машиніст-обхідник з турбінного устаткування, слюсар з ремонту парогазотурбінного устаткування, машиніст-обхідник з котельного устаткування, електромонтер з обслуговування електроустновок, машиніст тістомісильних машин, монтажник санітарно-технічного устаткування, флорист, няня, електромонтер з ремонту та монтажу кабельних ліній, різальник труб і заготовок, пресувальник вогнетривких виробів. Визначено, що система підготовки майбутніх кваліфікованих робітників у закладах освіти регіону потребує суттєвої модернізації, оскільки наразі існують суттєві невідповідності між рівнем підготовленості випускників до професійної діяльності та вимогами роботодавців. Складність адаптації випускників на робочих місцях пов’язується з браком у них певних професійних компетентностей та особистісних якостей, розвиткові яких мали б приділяти увагу у процесі первинної професійної підготовки в закладах, — практичної підготовки, досвіду, фахової підготовки, умотивованості до роботи. Дефіцитами також є відповідальність, самостійність, цілеспрямованість, низький рівень кваліфікації. З’ясовано, що співпраця між закладами освіти і роботодавцями й досі здійснюється у традиційних формах — проходження виробничої практики учнів закладів на базі підприємств, участь працівників підприємств в оцінюванні якості підготовки кадрів. Превалювання формальної взаємодії суттєво знажує якість підготовки кадрів для потреб регіональних ринків праці. Виокремлено напрями підготовки кадрів для актуальних і перспективних потреб регіону: машиніст екскаватора, автомеханік, електрогазозварник, слюсар-ремонтник, електромонтер, токар, машиніст крану, кухар-кондитер. У структурі моделі компетентностей майбутніх кваліфікованих робітників виокремлено базові та професійні компетентності, які забезпечуватимуть швидку адаптацію та ефективну роботу випускників на підприємтсвах регіону. Визначено, що для ефективного розвитку регіональних ринків праці та ефективної підготовки кадрів для них ключовим є реалізація ідеї публічно-приватного партнерства закладів освіти і підприємств-роботодавців, найбільш ефективними формами якої має бути співпраця в аспекті перегляду освітніх програм, консультування з питань їхнього змісту, методів і технологій освітнього процесу, надання рекомендацій щодо оновлення обладнання, надання навчально-методичних матеріалів, допомоги в оновленні бібліотечного фонду, баз даних, до забезпечення освітнього процесу в закладі (запрошення так званих гостьових спікерів), підвищення кваліфікації викладачів і майстрів виробничого навчання, спільної проєктної діяльності, здійснення профорієнтаційних заходів, організації екскурсій учнів та абітурієнтів на підприємства, інформування про можливості працевлаштування на підприємствах, лобіювання інтересів закладу на рівні органів місцевого самоврядування, участі у визначенні стратегії розвитку закладу, сприяння залученню додаткових джерел фінансування, створення дорадчо-консультативних органів управління закладом (консультативних рад зі спеціальності, наглядових рад тощо). Ключові слова: регіональні ринки праці, підготовка кадрів, заклади освіти, заклади професійної (професійно-технічної) освіти, ефективність, професійна підготовка.

У доповіді оприлюднено результати наукового дослідження «Методичні засади розроблення проектних технологій для професійної підготовки майбутніх кваліфікованих робітників аграрної, будівельної та автотранспортної галузей», виконаного співробітниками лабораторії технологій професійного навчання Інституту професійно-технічної освіти НАПН України протягом 2016-2018 рр. Проаналізовано досвід застосування проектних технологій у професійній підготовці кваліфікованих робітників; визначено методичні засади розроблення проектних технологій для їхньої професійної підготовки. Обґрунтовано методологічні підходи до проектного професійного навчання у закладах професійної (професійно-технічної) освіти. Наведено методики розроблення проектних технологій професійного навчання майбутніх кваліфікованих робітників аграрної, будівельної і автотранспортної галузей, організації проектної діяльності у ЗП(ПТ)О, оцінювання результатів проектного професійного навчання учнів. Представлено проектні технології для професійної підготовки майбутніх кваліфікованих робітників (інформаційно-аналітичну, практико-орієнтовану, дослідно-пошукову, творчо-інноваційну, соціально-виховну). Показано експериментальну перевірку їх результативності шляхом дослідження рівнів готовності педагогічних працівників до розроблення і застосування проектних технологій, і учнів – до проектного професійного навчання.

AN INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR FORMING PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCY IN FUTURE SKILLED WORKERS

The article analyzes the essence of such a concept as “an innovative educational environment” and defines its content for vocational education institutions. It illustrates the work experience of teaching staff in educational institutions in creating an innovative educational environment and forming professional competency in future workers. It also describes the main approaches to creating an innovative educational environment in vocational education institutions for vocational training of future skilled workers. They include humanistic approaches (anthropocentrism, relationship harmony, forming intellectual culture); systemic approaches (improving an educational environment as a holistic developing system); informational approaches (a sufficient level of information culture); innovative approaches (creative interaction, forming readiness for future professional activity).
 Based on the practical experience of vocational education institutions in Ukraine, pedagogical conditions for creating and maintaining an informational educational environment in educational institutions were singled out: partnership cooperation, respect and trust of all participants in the educational process; focus on development and self-development of every individual; creative activity; an effective use of scientific and methodological, material and technical capabilities and human resources of educational institutions; employment of personality-oriented innovative pedagogical technologies.
 The emphasis is placed on the importance of implementing personality-oriented pedagogical technologies in the educational process. It is shown that vocational education teachers have different views on the approaches to creating an innovative educational environment. However, it is agreed that the process of creating an innovative educational environment significantly influences the processes of forming and developing professional skills in teachers, strengthening professional relations between them, facilitating pedagogical innovations.

МОНІТОРИНГ ЯКОСТІ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ПІДГОТОВКИ МАЙБУТНІХ КВАЛІФІКОВАНИХ РОБІТНИКІВ ЯК ПЕДАГОГІЧНА ПРОБЛЕМА

The chosen path of Ukraine into the European integration, causes the significant changes in the state, in particular, in the field of education. At the same time, the main attention is paid to the quality of education, which is important for the management of the problem of improving the national monitoring system.For the first time, the particular attention to the monitoring of education was paid in the thirties of the twentieth century. Subsequently, the wide international comparative monitoring research concerning the quality of academic achievements of students began. The Ukraine’s participation into the international projects contributed to the process of modernizing of national vocational education. The change of the paradigm of education is taken place, and characterized by the transition from the so-called, responsive vocational education, to an outspoken, based on a competent approach. In this case, the main concept is “professional competence”, which serves as a productive and active characteristic of the training of future skilled workers in the vocational schools.For providing the quality services, it is important for the educational institutions to have the information on the level of their graduates’ professional training. This is possible due to monitoring, which is a set of measures aimed at obtaining the reliable information concerning the current state of vocational training of graduates of vocational schools in order to analyze it further and make the necessary changes in order to improve the educational process. At the same time, the monitoring should be regarded as an integral part of the modern educational process, during which the students continue to study, develop and educate professionally. In order to monitor the quality of professional training in the vocational schools, we propose to distinguish five stages: the informational, teaching, preparatory, monitoring and evaluation, analytical and diagnostic and prognostic and managerial.

Economic Factors Concerning The Migration Of The Best Educated Workers. The Case Of College Teachers

The migration flow of highly skilled workers is a growing and changing issue, especially under the economic conditions in recent years. This research focused on the migration of university teachers, a highly skilled collective responsible for the training of future skilled workers and also the innovation of a country through their research. An empirical analysis of migration flow of this collective and its relation with economics factor in Europe in the last decade showed that earnings are a key factor explaining variations in the migration flow of university teachers over time. Furthermore, considering the real purchasing power and the effect of personal taxes, it would be possible to show which countries are more relevant to the decisions of this collective on migration. Thus, the higher the purchasing power, the greater the number of university teachers who migrate to a given country. Hence those countries that keep or increase the earnings level of university teachers, especially during an economic depression, can attract or maintain highly skilled workers. In addition, the results showed that unemployment is a push factor for migration for these best educated workers.

Cloud technologies in the training of qualified workers

One of the strong reasons why foreign investors are reluctant to invest in Ukraine's economy is the low level of qualifications of our labor force. In addition, the state has no money to reform the system of vocational education and bring it in line with the requirements of modern production. Partially cope with this problem is possible through the active use of information and communication technologies in the vocational training of future skilled workers. The introduction of cloud computing into the teaching and production process gives a new impetus to the development of ICT environment in vocational schools and, consequently, to a qualitatively new level of training of specialists in different branches of the economy.
