Like in many Global South countries, the vocational education and training system in Kazakhstan has some weaknesses, including low-competent educators poorly applying digital technologies in their instructional repertoire, which highlights the need for motivating teachers towards incorporating technologies representing students' everyday life in the educational process. Meanwhile, there are no practically applicable competency frameworks for Kazakhstani vocational teachers to date. This paper aimed to gather students’ opinions on which skills are more or less important for vocational educators to outline a technological competency framework for Kazakhstani vocational teachers based on Digital Competency Profiler, with content validity tested by five experts. A set of nineteen items measured on a five-point Likert scale, organized into technical, communicational, informational, and epistemological domains, was uploaded to an online survey platform and distributed among Master degree students enrolled in vocational programs in Kazakhstan. Based on survey data, the construct validity of the model was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis, which yielded high entire reliability and internal consistency. The learners assigned importance to all the four domains. However, they estimated vocational teacher’s ability to utilize productivity tracking tools as almost futile, which allegedly indicates the surveyees’ insufficient awareness about those applications and their purposes. Generally, the participants tend to prioritize vocational educators’ capacities to process mathematical computations, visualize numerical data, and operate with electronic text files and projectors, as well as their readiness for effective communication through messengers and electronic mail. The framework that emerged from this research can be used as a blueprint for synchronizing and improving educational programs in Kazakhstan.   Keywords: education; survey; technology; ICT; vocational education and training.

Рассматриваются задачи, которые встают перед государством при разработке сопоставимых индикаторов оценки эффективности системы среднего профессионального образования. Показана проблема сопоставимости различных показателей и их влияние на оценку среднего профессионального образования. Проанализированы перспективы разработки сопоставимых индикаторов для понимания степени, в которой образовательная система обеспечивает максимально возможную отдачу при минимально возможном вкладе, а именно показывает высокий уровень эффективности системы. Использовались общенаучные методы познания: аналитический метод, конкретизации теоретических знаний, метод экспертных оценок, обобщение. Результаты исследования отражают возможность дополнения мониторинга качества подготовки кадров в образовательных организациях, реализующих образовательные программы среднего профессионального образования сопоставимыми индикаторами оценки технического и профессионального образования и обучения по версии UNESCO для оценки эффективности системы СПО России. The tasks that the state faces when developing comparable indicators for assessment effectiveness of the vocational education and training are considered. The influence of various indicators on the assessment of the effectiveness of vocational education and training system is shown. The prospects of developing comparable indicators for understanding the degree to which the educational system provides the maximum possible return with the minimum possible contribution, namely, it shows a high level of system efficiency, are analyzed. General scientific methods of cognition, analytical method, concretization of theoretical knowledge, method of expert assessments, terminological analysis, generalization were used. The results of the study reflect the possibility of supplementing the monitoring of the quality of personnel training in educational organizations implementing educational programs of vocational education and training system with comparable indicators for evaluating technical and vocational education and training according to the UNESCO version to assess the effectiveness of the Russian VET system.
