Мета вивчення дисципліни: The purpose of this discipline is to acquire an up-to-date knowledge base for graduate students to understand the educational policy for ensuring the quality of higher education. Develop, on the basis of this knowledge and skills, their ability to develop their own comparisons and proposals for the implementation of best practices at the national and higher education institution (HEI) level.
Завдання: Tasks of the academic discipline: ? To form basic principles regarding educational policy in the field of quality of higher education. ? Compare the strengths of different approaches to quality assurance. ? Retransmit the theory of quality management to management practice in higher education ? Develop a priority plan of practical measures for higher education institutions regarding quality assurance. ? Project the international experience on the problems of the quality of higher education in Ukraine. The study of an academic discipline involves the formation and development of students' competencies: acquiring in-depth knowledge of the specialty (group of specialties) in which (which) the graduate student conducts research, in particular mastering the main concepts, understanding theoretical and practical problems, the history of development and the current state of scientific knowledge in the chosen specialty, mastering the terminology of the researched scientific direction; mastering general scientific (philosophical) competences aimed at forming a systematic scientific outlook, professional ethics and a general cultural outlook; acquisition of universal skills of a researcher, in particular oral and written presentation of the results of one's own scientific research in Ukrainian, application of modern information technologies in scientific activity, organization and conduct of training sessions, management of scientific projects and/or drafting proposals for financing scientific research, registration of intellectual property rights. 2.3. Learning outcomes according to educational programs and methods of their evaluation As a result of studying the academic discipline, the student must be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes: 1. To form and update the knowledge base for postgraduate students' understanding of the educational policy to ensure the quality of higher education. 2. Develop, on the basis of knowledge and skills, the ability to develop own comparisons and proposals for the implementation of best practices at the national and higher education level.
Learning outcomes: Learning outcomes Learning and teaching methods Methods of assessing the level of achievement of learning outcomes To form and update the knowledge base for graduate students to understand the educational policy on ensuring the quality of higher education. Lectures, practical classes - information-receptive method, reproductive method, heuristic method, problem presentation method, independent work - reproductive method, research method. Current control - execution and defense of practical works, oral and frontal examination. Develop, on the basis of knowledge and skills, the ability to develop own comparisons and proposals for the implementation of best practices at the national and higher education level. Lectures and practical classes: information-receptive method; reproductive method; heuristic method; problem statement method. Independent work: reproductive method. Current and settlement control. Knowledge assessment methods: selective oral survey; speeches at seminars, tests, colloquium, assessment of activity, submitted proposals, original solutions, clarifications and definitions, etc. Assessment - written survey, test control

Summary of the subject: The educational discipline allows graduate students to master the necessary material for practical and research work in the field of internal and external quality assurance of higher education. Postgraduate students will receive theoretical and practical materials related to the formation and development of international experience in the context of the integration of Ukrainian higher education in the sense of ensuring its quality in the European educational space. At lectures and practical (seminar) classes, graduate students will be exposed to the most important currents and practices in leading European countries. The skills of graduate students will be developed in terms of the projection of this experience on the Ukrainian practice of ensuring the quality of higher education. In addition to the national context and state policy in the field of quality, regulatory support of these processes, course participants will acquire key skills related to internal quality assurance of higher education in higher education institutions. A distinctive feature of the course materials is the used experience of preparation and participation of Ukrainian HEIs in international projects and the formation of internal systems for ensuring the quality of educational activities in HEIs based on this experience.
