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.

Pedagogical Principles

Based on the analysis of educational and regulatory documents, the main pedagogical principles of the State Service for Education Quality of Ukraine (SSEQU) are summarized: a) basic pedagogical principles of SSEQU’s activity, which are defined by the legislator as basic principles of state educational policy (people orientedness; primacy of the law; ensuring the quality of education and equal access to education; humanism; democracy; unity of teaching, upbringing and development, etc.); b) principles that determine the legal sphere of the SSEQU’s activity (institutional separation of control functions and functions ensuring the activities of educational institutions; transparency and publicity of management decisions; responsibility and accountability of education authorities and educational institutions to society; public administration; public partnership etc); c) pedagogical principles that guide and structurally organize SSEQU’s activities (universal design and reasonable adaptation; scientific nature of education; diversity of education; integrity and continuity of education; integration with the labor market; freedom of choosing the types, forms and pace of education, educational program, educational institution; academic integrity; academic freedom, etc. Empirical data analysis based on the educational process participants’ views on the factors, which comprise educational quality, revealed that the interviewees valued most the level of qualification, experience, knowledge and skills of their teachers, educational and methodological support, the use of new technologies and innovations in teaching for achieving quality education. Interaction and cooperation between education stakeholders was identified as important by teachers and students, and less important – by parents. Interviews with students - prospective educational experts revealed that they valued the sequence of communication skills, knowledge and skills of expert activity, experience and knowledge of pedagogical activities.

Innovations in the educational sphere is a matter of wide talk everywhere. Yet these discussions deal with the only issue of innovative forms of education in the first place, especially the so-called distance learning and intersubject communications. Also much discussed is the issue of education quality control, while the recently adopted Law of the Russian Federation On Education has become a subject of extensive and loud discussions. However, there is an evident lack of examination and research on the issue of management in education, whereas it is essential for creating a solid basis for improving the graduates’ quality of knowledge. The good news is that the importance of managing educational processes is already grasped, which is confirmed by the fact that a new major course for “management in education” profession is established. The use of such a term, as management, proves that educational institutions are considered now as commercial organizations, just as towns and cities in recent years are meant to be corporations and as such are qualified as subjects of exchange relations. Accordingly, such a stance may also be extended by analogy on educational process, which may well result in special treatment of managing such kind of education. The author considers the whole issue to be determined by unavoidable imperative of our time.

AbstractA two-stage study was carried out. Firstly, a pioneering attempt was made to measure the quality of education in rural areas of Poland, by county (powiat), using a synthetic indicator. Secondly, the socioeconomic determinants of that quality were modelled. A strength of this study is the fact that it covers the entire population of the given type of administrative units. The analysis served to verify the hypothesis that exogenic socioeconomic factors are key to the effectiveness of the educational process in rural areas. It was shown that in Poland the theories of polarised development are more applicable than those of endogenic development. There was observed an inversely proportional effect from the centre–periphery axis on education quality, but, above all, the effect of several gravitational systems, in which there occurs exogenic diffusion of the results of economic growth and progress from the present and former provincial capitals.

AbstractThe category of education quality in the system of higher professional education acts as providing high competitiveness, optimal organization and management of the educational process, as well as access to the world market of educational services. We can talk about the international legal regulation of the quality of education relatively arbitrarily, bearing in mind the practical absence of normative legal acts regulating the relations of subjects of international educational law in the field of regulating the quality of education. We can talk about the international component of assessing the quality of education in the context of the Bologna Declaration, because the Bologna process strengthens the European emphasis on assessment and quality control, accreditation, takes a course towards convergence of standards and assessment procedures. Among the most important reforms proclaimed by the Bologna Declaration, the development of European cooperation based on developed comparable criteria and methods is named. In a resolution of the Congress of European Rectors of Universities (Salamanca, March 29–30, 2001), quality is defined as the “cornerstone”, the “fundamental condition” of trust, relevance, mobility, compatibility, and attractiveness. Rectors reaffirmed their intentions to seek mutually recognized mechanisms for assessing, controlling and certifying quality.

Our country relies on system of education in its development. The laws of Ukraine “On Higher Education” (2014) and “On Education” (2017) were adopted. The philosophical aspect of topical trends in education is considered in life-long helping an individual to fulfil him/herself as a professional citizen and personality. It is obvious, that in such case, the access to education and educational services should increase. This fact exacerbates the issue of improving the quality of education. One of the directions of increasing the quality of education is to increase the quality of educational activities. An important reserve for the quality of educational activities is the constructive interaction of participants in the educational process. The article analyses the nature of interaction of the parties to the educational process in the context of their educational activities. The structure of optimal self-organization of the parties’ educational activities is determined. The problems in studying the quality of educational activities are stated. The conditions, factors and criteria determining the nature of the interaction of educational activity parties are described. The conditions of educational process development in the higher schools are determined by its nature: the educational process based on the research basis, the interaction between the parties, the practice-aimed educational process. The conditions of development of educational process parties’ interaction are determined by interdependence of processes being the basis of their educational activities self-organization. The important criteria for constructive nature of the parties’ interaction in the educational process include benevolence, openness, impartiality, aspiration for perfection, and activity. Higher education reform can not take place without the continuous growth of higher education quality. Higher education should become even more powerful source of development of our country.

Introduction. Digital technologies have become an integral part of the educational process in the modern world. The coronavirus pandemic accelerated their spread, allowed their new features to be tested, their advantages to be assessed and bottlenecks identified. It is thus relevant to develop regulatory measures to timely address the negative effects of global distance education and to take advantage of all its positive aspects. Methods. The study was conducted using regression analysis techniques. The monitoring data of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) for 2009, 2012 and 2018 were used as a source of information (The PISA 2018 survey is currently the most recent one). These data were used to investigate the impact of the spread of digital technologies on the education quality metrics (reading literacy and numeracy) of students aged 15–16. To assess the spread of digital technologies, the following metrics were applied: the time spent by students on the Internet in an educational institution (2012 and 2018), the number of personal computers per student (2009 and 2012) and the share of students having a PC or a laptop at home (2009, 2012 and 2018). The share of spending per student in total public expenditure (2009 and 2012) and the share of teachers who have completed professional development courses in the last 3 months (2018) were also used for the analysis. Results and Discussion. The regression models constructed reflected the dual impact of digital technology on the quality of education. On the one hand, the use of PCs and laptops contributed to the higher levels of literacy and numeracy of students; on the other hand, the time spent on the Internet in school and at home during the school week had a negative impact on these indicators. In addition, a significant positive impact of the share of government spending per student in GDP per capita and teacher qualifications on testing results was established. Conclusion. Digital technologies and new devices have radically changed modern education. They help students develop technological skills, use their learning gains and share their knowledge. However, it is important to take into account that the quality of education may deteriorate due to the impact of digital technologies and to take timely governmental regulatory measures to prevent this.

In the present paper, education reform in the Republic of Serbia since 2000 is presented. The focus is on two major reform waves: 2000–2003 and 2004–2005. We analyse why these broad educational interventions failed. After 2005, there was a lull in the reform process, a period with no major changes (2005–2010). A new phase of improving education policy in Serbia commenced with the adoption of Trends in the Development and Upgrading of the Quality of Education and Upbringing 2010–2020 (2010) and the conception and proposal of the Strategy of Education Development in Serbia to 2020+ (2012). The basic innovations in approachand conception in the new “epoch” is outlined.

The research objective was to determine the main vector of education development based on the analysis of Russian and foreign experience in using various methods of active learning. This vector is directed at a stable interaction between the real sector of the economy and the state in the educational process in order to improve the quality of education in general. The modern digital environment of higher education should create conditions for comprehensive development and new opportunities for students to receive high quality education based on modern practice-oriented technologies. Modern society needs education to preserve its fundamental nature. However, education reforms change its content, e.g. by reducing classroom hours, focusing on independent learning, etc. The article describes the main problems and prospects of personnel training in higher education and the necessary competences of all participants of educational process aimed at sustainable economic development of society in the context of global digitalization. The authors developed and described the mechanism of interaction between the participants of system science – business – production – state – society, integrated in the educational process. The mechanism uses practice-oriented technologies in order to increase the competitiveness of university graduates in the labor market and the quality of education in general. This mechanism will help to involve students in the educational process and face the modern realities of changing society, whose main priority is to adapt to rapidly changing working conditions.
