The Subject

Three years ago, the Polish Geopolitical Society began an initiative focused on students, PHD candidates and interested academic societies, who wished to co-operate in popularizing the subject area of geopolitics. This initiative sought to serve as a forum for such groups and individuals to compete with other interested colleagues and groups from around the world. During the process, students strive to prove their level of professional knowledge, while their teachers assist them in preparing for their best presentations. All participants then meet during the final stages of the competition in order to exchange their experiences. This, in turn, benefits the development of general approaches and methods of study regarding the discipline of geopolitics. The question addressed in this paper then, is how such international competitions can improve the overall skills and knowledge of the subject area at hand among those participating. The importance of this question is underscored by various initiatives undertaken that attempt to measure the quality of higher education. The research presented in this article, then, is based upon interviews with both participants and organizing committee members, which attempt to gauge the experiences and results achieved during such competitions. The results show both the positive and negative aspects of organizing such gatherings. Most certainly, one could draw the conclusion that such events are the most attractive to the most ambitious of students and teachers, who consider education a privilege and as a process, which continues throughout one’s lifetime. Adversely, for those who place education in the same category as a material good, to be bought and sold, such competitions have little appeal especially when focused upon a narrow field of study.

This article presents the results of research on the value and target priorities in the quality management process in higher education. It is determined that the quality of education is a mean of development of the individual and society, a condition of trust in the educational sphere, it reflects the degree of conformity of the properties and results of educational processivity to certain norms and standards of education. It is established that the quality is traced in the presence of competencies that characterize the ability of graduates of the institution to effectively pursue professional activity in modern socio-economic conditions.Each specific historical level of the qualitative parameters of higher education is the result of determining the goal, or the spontaneity and purpose of indifference, or the symbiosis of the two previous possibilities. It is necessary to take into account the fact that in the absolute majority of cases the quality of higher education does not have a self-sufficient target status, but rather becomes the context and prerequisite for achieving some other strategic goal of individual or supra-individual (social, cultural, civilizational, global) value. The totality of these circumstances exacerbates the need to analyze the quality of higher education through the lens of a hierarchy of targets. Goal setting is the process of justification and goal setting. And the goal can be achieved by combining objective factors and ways and actions to do so. It is also proved that the structural components of personality, value orientations are the most important component of an individual's organization, his ethical-psychological and intellectual activity. And worldview is a set of views, principles, understanding of the world and program of action and forms the foundation of human consciousness. The acquired knowledge and beliefs, combined in the worldview, form a system of understanding by the man of the world and himself.Therefore, the quality of education can be ensured if the management system is in place, which involves the organization of a continuous process of influence of the management entity on its object and the appropriate coordination of their joint activities. The process of quality assurance in higher education should be systematic and include monitoring of the educational environment, comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing the quality of education and developing models of quality management of educational services.Keywords: value, purpose, target priorities, quality management of higher education quality, quality of education

The article addresses the problem of higher education - improving the quality of graduates' professional training, provides a brief analysis of research results, Recommendations on how to use the results “Quality of education” is a complex characteristic of education, the task of which is to train specialists who are competitive in the world market. It is impossible to develop a single, scientifically based system of indicators for the quality of student training, since the education system is different in all countries of the World, moreover, a different system of training students, which is one of the influencing factors on the quality of Higher Education. It is necessary to take into account the specifics of the university.One of the elements of the quality assessment system is monitoring, which is considered to be a comprehensive system for diagnosing the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the effectiveness of an educational system. The assessment of the quality of education should be formed as a cumulative indicator of all the qualities that influence the educational process. During the work we used the results of sociological research of the subjects of the educational process: students, teachers, monitoring of the educational process (academic performance of students).

Two questions that today's health professors should ask themselves are: Am I teaching my students in the most effective way possible to train professionals with the standards and needs demanded by today's society? Are my students memorizing facts and concepts or are they developing skills that they integrate into their personal and professional lives? In 1910 the Flexner report was published, which gave rise to the first reforms that sought to establish innovations in the education of health professionals, but the great revolution in world education arose from a study published by Barr and Tagg in 1995 where they stressed the importance of changing the paradigm of education centered on content to a new paradigm where education is centered on learning; Thus, in 1998, within the framework of the World Conference on Higher Education, UNESCO expressed the need to update higher education, bringing it closer to the current challenges of society, and in response to this request, in 1999, several European countries signed the Bologna agreement that seeks to improve the quality of higher education by creating the European Higher Education Area.

The article proposes a process of introducing a cyclic model in the teaching of sociology courses, which allows students to combine the acquisition of theoretical and practical competences, and the teachers to use the latest sociological data in their own teaching activities are absent in modern scientific discourse. According to the authors, the development of a cyclical model of interaction between the teacher and the student gives an opportunity to open new perspectives in the matter of improving the quality of higher education and integration into the world scientific and educational space.

The Subject

Controlling and evaluating the quality of training of the learner is a mandatory component of the education system. The problem of the means of testing and evaluating learning outcomes in the various professional fields is important and therefore the article is devoted to various aspects of the assessment of the training in the Pedagogy of Technology and Entrepreneurship Education. Testing has been considered as a complex process involving multiple stages: preparation; carrying out the examinations; analysis of the result. The passages are shown schematically. Preparation includes: goal setting; the content of the content for verification; fixing methods and forms for verification; setting criteria and indicators for evaluation; technical provision. The conduct of examination procedures requires: instruction; independent work of students; verification and evaluation. When the result is analyzed, the actual state is established, the actual and set values are compared, the deviations are analyzed, and corrective measures are taken.Since the traditional system for verifying the knowledge and skills of students has a number of disadvantages and is less effective, more rational testing and evaluation methods are sought in the study. They respond to the specifics of the subject area of Technology and Entrepreneurship and enable to examine both the volume and quality of the knowledge, skills and competences of students in the field of technology and economics and their ability to draw conclusions, to take a critical approach to the obtained information to properly assess non-standard situations. An analysis of some specific techniques for verifying and assessing students' knowledge is presented. Specific methods and tools for evaluation are described. The choice and construction of a complex method for verifying the knowledge and skills of the students in the subject disciplines is explained. Portfolio is mentioned as an alternative means of presentation and evaluation. There is a need for a generalized assessment of the quality of professional training. Based on Peicheva, Volkin and Naidenova’s research, we offer a model for a generalized assessment of students - future teachers of Technology and entrepreneurship. The views of the directors of educational institutions - employers of Technology and entrepreneurship teachers have also been studied. When selecting criteria for teacher recruitment, most of them rank first and second in the acquired specialty and the completed degree. Attitude towards work is also important.It is concluded that under the current conditions the examination and assessment of the acquired knowledge, skills and competences are becoming more and more important due to the need for objective selection and adequate realization of the personality. Therefore, professors responsible for the professional training of students should look for adequate methods and tools for effective testing and assessment.

Education plays a vital role in the development of any nation and this fact is well recognized all over the world. It is imperative for any nation now a days to focus on developing its higher education, since advanced knowledge, advanced facilities only can fulfill man’s advanced needs today. But unlike the primary education, higher education is a financially demanding one for a nation. The economic reforms, initiated since 1991 including Globalization has resulted in the higher demand for the people of India both within and abroad, Since domestic and multinational industries look for more knowledgeable and skilled man power all over the world. The Indian Government initially found it difficult to fully fund from its own the fast growing Indian higher education sector and hence allowed the private players to establish and run higher education institutions. This has led to the establishment of large number of higher education institutions in India over the last two decades. Higher education has seen tremendous growth over the past few years though it does not mean that it is free from problems. Theperformance of an educational institution is judged not only on the basis of the quality of education being provided but also on the basis of its contribution to the society. The present study has made an attempt to find whether all these developments have brought about benefits to the students in particular and to the society in general with reference to higher education especially, the impact of globalization on the scenario of higher education. The present study concentrated on areas such as quality of higher education now, problems faced by the students and the service providers, benefits attained by the society and necessary strategies for improving the quality of higher education in the era of globalization, if the present scenario is falling short of being beneficial to one and all concerned.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that current globalization trends contribute to the formation of the world education area, and further steps in this direction require taking into account the achievements of recognized leaders of knowledge society and other countries seeking to join them in reforming national education systems. Based on the analysis of normative documents, statistical materials and reports, current research of modern scientists, the experience of modernization of higher education in Ukraine and Central Asia in the direction of integration into the world, especially European, educational space is determined by their national interests and desire to expand cooperation with Europe and the world in general. A comparative analysis of the experience of implementing the principles of the Bologna Process, involvement in international educational programs and projects shows that these partner countries, united by a common socialist past, although are not members of the European Union, but are considered strategic partners. It is argued that Ukraine and Kazakhstan followed the path of official entering the Bologna Process (which contributed to improving the efficiency and quality of higher education, expanding the market of educational services for applicants and labor markets for graduates), while Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan only partially changed their direction, which was declared at the state level. Turkmenistan, on the other hand, remains closed and conservative. It has been found that common to all countries is the need to systematically improve the quality of higher education, further update the entire education system (organizational, methodological, personnel), taking into account globalization and integration trends, which can contribute to further active cooperation with European Union countries, including within the framework of international programs (Erasmus, Tempus, Jean Monnet, etc.).
