Introduction. The paper presents the research findings of investigating the problem of training healthcare leaders in the management of sustainable development. The purpose of the article is to analyze the international practice of training managers in various industries and to assess the effectiveness of using ‘Process Factory’ in the development of professional competencies related to quality management of healthcare settings. Materials and Methods. The study used general empirical and theoretical research methods, general logical methods and techniques, as well as methods of system analysis, comparison and analogy, and generalization. The key criterion for selecting research papers was focusing on the problems of training healthcare managers in the quality of medical care in the context of sustainable development management. In order to solve this problem, a business game called ‘Quality management of medical care’ based on the ‘Process Factory’ was developed. The empirical data were processed using a standard software package. Results. The authors have identified the following problems in the quality of training healthcare managers: low involvement in the educational process, denial of the best experiences, and an authoritarian management style. At the same time, the research has shown that managers need professional competencies in the field of analysis of multifactor processes, team management, projects, skills to integrate strategic development tasks into the current activities of the organization. The business game developed by the authors is based on the model of training in ‘learning factories’ as the foundation for training in lean manufacturing. Using the business game has led to the following outcomes: the interest of trainees increased by 9 times, involvement in the educational process-by 20 times, mastering skills – by 2 times, performing skills – by 8 times, readiness to apply the obtained skills – by 17 times. Conclusions. The article concludes that the constant implementation of changes in the healthcare system requires non-standard solutions from the leaders. The conducted educational experiment showed that the proposed educational technology makes it possible to model various situations in the learning environment. In the process of conducting a business game, the leader acquires competencies aimed at conflict management, encouragement of personnel, and receiving reliable information about the activities of the healthcare organization.

The article is devoted to the study of the effectiveness of training graduates of medical universities when a trained student is included in the educational process, able to fulfill the role of a mentor. All over the world, the number of students is increasing in medical universities every year, but there is no equivalent increase in the teaching staff. One of the potential methods of overcoming the above problems is the use of trained mentors from among peer students. This method was used when students practiced practical skills in a simulation center in anticipation of primary accreditation. The purpose of the study is to optimize the preparation of students for a practical exam in a simulation environment with the help of a student mentor. Of the 468 students of the medical faculty of the North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov, studying in the VI year, was chosen by their colleague, who was trained at the center of simulation technology. A sample of 100 graduates was randomly generated, which were randomized into two groups of 50 people each (the main group in which the training was conducted with the participation of a mentor student and a control group trained under the guidance of teachers from one of the university departments). The most difficult for students was the station simulating the provision of emergency medical care (EMF). The evaluation checklist for checking the quality of the tasks at this station includes 233 points that must be implemented when providing EMF in 13 different situations requiring this type of medical care. To improve the quality of mastering practical skills, a training scheme was developed that allows you to learn the algorithm of actions when providing EMF. A basic assessment of students knowledge and skills revealed a low level of knowledge of diagnostic techniques and emergency assistance. Using the developed training scheme with the help of a student mentor has significantly increased the level of knowledge and practical skills in the provision of EMF. The quality of training in the main group did not significantly differ in most of the assessed parameters from the control group in which classes were held with the teacher. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS 20.0 program (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).

The article examines the ideas of educational shift relevant to the quality of education developed during the Lithuanian Education Reform as formulated by Meile Luksiene in her writings. The research is based on an analysis of scientific literature concerning the concepts of shift and quality, regulating educational documents as well as an empirical study, i.e. the data collected from a qualitative analysis of the scientist’s writings. The problem of the research: how are the ideas formulated by M. Luksiene relevant to the education development quality? The object of the research: shift as a prerequisite for a new education quality as expressed in the writings of M.  Luksiene. The goal of the research: to emphasize the significance of M. Luksiene’s ideas of shift oriented towards the quality of education. Having performed the research tasks, which include presenting theoretical research presumptions on the basis of analysis of scientific literature and educational documents, comparing the concepts of shift and presumed education development quality as formulated by M. Luksiene to those developed on the theoretical level, exhibiting M.  Luksienes’s shift ideas oriented towards the education quality on conceptual, personal, organizational and governmental levels by means of an empirical study, comparing the presumed education quality in M.  Luksiene’s writings to the content of present concerted education quality examining the vigor of M.  Luksiene’s ideas, the authors draw the following conclusions: The concept of shift modeled by M. Luksiene in her writings on educational issues is close to the theoretical one formulated by scientists, i.e. to that of a shift during a confrontation between two social powers, stages of a shift, the concept of a shift as of a long-lasting process, perspectives of a shift. The presumed education development quality implied by M. Luksiene in her writings is close to the theoretical quality concept formulated by scientists in terms of integral parts of holistic quality, i.e. the quality of primary conditions, educational process and, partly, of consequences, where consequences is understood as cultural maturity of a nation and society. The quality of results is mentioned indirectly, whereas the surplus value, an integral part of holistic quality, is not directly discussed. The presumed education development quality implied in M. Luksiene’s writings is closely related to the theoretical scientific quality concept expressed in terms of greater humanistic values, such as relation to an individual, as well as of civil, social values, and partly of the ethical values of public service. The economic values related to education quality are not directly approached. Basically all education quality subcategories defined in M. Luksiene’s writings have their equivalents in the present concerted criteria for school self-evaluation, which allows maintaining that the content of education development quality modeled by M. Luksiene and the one created at present are akin. It has been noted that the main value based educational principles, by means of which education quality can be expressed and which were emphasized by M. Luksiene, i.e. those related to humanity, democracy, nationality and renewal, have only been maintained in the regulating educational documents of independent Lithuania irregularly. The closeness of the presumed education development quality content modeled by M. Luksiene in her writings to modern concerted education quality criteria indicate, that the scientist’s ideas are relevant in the present stage of Education Reform.

Research background: Despite a fairly long tradition of measuring students’ assessment of the quality of obtained university education, there are still many unresolved issues in this area. The aim of the study: to theoretically substantiate the concept of a profile of graduates’ satisfaction with university educational programs including several parameters. The satisfaction profile serves as a criterion of the quality of education, at the same time reflecting students’ subjective assessment of the learning outcomes received at the university that they correlate with their expectations at the stage of admission. The concept is proposed in association with the monitoring of university graduates’ satisfaction with educational programs developed and tested as part of the research work at the Russian State Social University. Methods: graduate satisfaction is assessed using quantitative (questionnaires, the results of which are processed in SPSS) and qualitative (interviews) research methods. The proposed and tested method for the assessment of university graduates’ satisfaction with educational programs can serve as a basis for the development of university systems for monitoring graduates’ satisfaction with educational programs and education quality management and the satisfaction profile can become a universal criterion of education quality assessment not only in Russian but also in foreign universities. Results and novelty: The novelty and significance of the study results lie in the fact that the rating of educational process factors significant for graduates’ satisfaction provides information that can be used for successfully placing the direction of training in the market of educational services. Moreover, two ratings of the importance of the identified factors are constructed. The first one reflects the respondents’ direct assessment that can be used in advertising and information campaigns in the market of educational services. The second rating shows indirect assessment providing a more adequate image of the real impact of various factors on graduates’ satisfaction with educational programs; the results of this rating can be used in the intra-university quality management.

Quality has become an increasingly important and critical success factor at higher education institutions, particularly universities. Numerous discussions have been held about education quality in the context of sustainable development. However, the quality of that education strongly depends on the overall quality of the management system which operates at schools. The principal aim of this article is to present the approaches to the quality management systems’ development and their assessment at universities, and share some lessons learned from this area of research. Some possibilities of the ISO 9001 standard’s implementation, as well as the application of excellence models as a response to community demands, will be discussed, especially in the context of the recently-introduced Act No. 111/1998 Coll on Higher Education Institutions, which requires quality assurance and quality evaluation. A case study from The VSB-Technical University of Ostrava shows approaches, results and effects of the quality management system implementation.

The article discusses the possibilities of the formation of system design and organization of educational activities in educational institutions of the system of secondary vocational education. The substantiation of a systematic approach to the design activity of a pedagogical worker is proposed, a procedural scheme for the system design of the educational process in the context of modern changes in production requirements is proposed. The conducted studies allow us to conclude that it is necessary to divide the design process into three stages, which differ in priority determining goals. The structure of the system design of educational and methodological activities in the system of secondary vocational education is given. The purpose of the article is to identification and formation of the theory of system design, which is the need for the formation of teachers’ understanding of the essence of system design educational and methodological activities, its features, development prospects in the context of the renewing system of secondary vocational education. Methodology. The research is carried out on the basis of practical methodology, focuses on solving practical problems and purposefully solving the issues of organizing educational activities in professional educational institutions of the region. The article discusses the issue of the formation of the theory of system design and the organization of educational and methodological activities, in the conditions of timely, advanced updating and changes in curricula, which guarantee the training of a specialist with the necessary set of competencies. Results The results are in the significance of theoretical research: identifying the links between the educational activities of students with the stages of educational and methodological activities of pedagogical workers; the introduction of an educationally developed system of principles for system design of educational and methodological activities; formation of the system design structure; determining the level of readiness of open source software for the implementation of system design of educational and methodological activities to achieve goals to improve the quality of education. The drawbacks of the existing theory and practice of systemic pedagogical design are revealed in relation to the developed theory of systemic design of educational and methodological activities in the system of secondary vocational education, the elimination of which will ensure an increase in the effectiveness of the educational process. In conclusion, the demand for system design is noted as a necessary element of the activity of a pedagogical worker, who, within the framework of this project, should act as a creator of everything necessary to ensure the educational process aimed at achieving a predictable and predictable result.
