To recite the history of the attempts, since even before the turn of the century, to modify the method and content of the Plane Geometry Course or “Euclid,” is to invite upon oneself the charge of banality. From the early efforts of Perry and Russell in England, of Laisant in France, of Klein in Germany, of Moore and Hedrick in our own country, to the two most recent reports by the Progressive Education Association and the Joint Commission, through article after article in The Mathematics Teacher and other professional magazines, the battle for reform has been and still is raging.

The Second Report of the Joint Commission on the Book of Common Prayer is an interesting document, not only for the history of liturgy in the American Church but also in showing, perhaps more by implication than by direct statement, the lines along which thought in the Episcopal Church is at present moving.

The Joint Commission

Since its inception, the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) has promoted research into prevention of adverse events in hospitals. In 1995, SHEA made this mission concrete by initiating a collaborative research project with the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organization (now known as the Joint Commission). In the early 1990s, the Joint Commission was implementing its “Agenda for Change” and associated Indicator Monitoring System. At the time, there were numerous competing measurement systems that used different definitions, all aimed at measuring the quality of patient care, and many had indicators measuring the incidence of hospital-acquired infections. Some of these indicators used administrative data, such as International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes, to measure adverse events.

The Subject

The imperative need for relating mathematics to other subjects without devoting courses merely to the practical, social and business aspects of the subject has been significantly stressed in the national reports of both the Joint Commission on the Place of Mathematics in Secondary Education and the Progressive Education Association on mathematics in General Education. In most place our subject matter is on trial for its places in the secondary school curriculum. But there are exceptions.

ABSTRACT The aim of the research is to discover the pedagogical and cultural ideas of baron М. О. Korf and their impact on the modern monitoring of quality of education. The pedagogical ideas of baron М. О. Korf refering to the problem of monitoring of quality of education are exposed in the article. In fact he was the first person in Ukraine and Russia who started verification of knowledge of peasants and students. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, system-formation, scientific character, verification, the author’s objectivity, moderated narrative constructivism, and the use of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and specially pedagogical (empiric, historical comparative) methods. The scientific novelty of the article consists in the fact that for the first time in history of pedagogics it was found out on the basis of works of Mykola Korf and publications of researchers of his inheritance that a teacher tested the knowledge of peasants and students of elementary school and then made a report. A question for conversation was divided into two categories: those which analytically name an object and offer child to define the sign and the ones that enumerate signs synthetically, not naming an object, and offer to thinking of child to recreate an object according to its signs. Nowadays there is the idea that the founder of the world monitoring of quality of education is the American association of Progressive Education Association in the of United States. However, we prove that Mykola Korf measured the quality of knowledge of students, conducted monitoring of quality of knowledge, considerably before associations. Conclusions the results of research allow to assert that the pedagogical ideas of baron M. O. Korf can be considered as basic developments of modern theory and practices of monitoring of quality of education because he organized the research before American association of Progressive Education Association in the of United States. Key words: monitoring, knowledge, methodology, conversation, pedagogical ideas.
