Currently, higher education institutions need to produce skills with new skills that will enable young graduates to enter an increasingly complex world. Globalization, the objective of massification and diversification can be incubators towards lowering the quality of training. In a process of continuous improvement, science and technology education will have to conquer these different contextual variables. However, the traditional pedagogical model separating the functions of the two main actors of the class, teacher, information transmitter and passive receiver student, no longer satisfies the requirements of the development path. This inevitably leads to a rethinking of the school in depth and the implementation of other pedagogical approaches oriented towards know-how rather than towards the accumulation of knowledge. Given the complexity of analyzing and standardizing teaching practices as well as the teacher's strategic role in steering the learning process, we have adopted a normative methodology based on the concept of the process approach, the application of which will serve the orientation of science and technical training towards the acquisition of transversal skills which will allow the learner to better adapt to the needs of the job market. However, we will adopt a technical approach based on the use of quality tools to design, with the objective mentioned above, an innovative, efficient and effective model. We propose in our study to identify to what extent the quality principles of continuous improvement constitute mobilizing elements of the process of training in science and techniques.

Methods Of Measurement

The quality of education is increasingly being measured less by the knowledge gained during schooling and more by the level of competence possessed by students at doing a particular job after completing their education. Target and process-planned curricula are being replaced more and more by competence-oriented curricula, especially in science and technology education, where competences, generally defined as the capability or the ability of an individual doing a job properly, are placed at the forefront. If competence is the desired criterion for educational quality, it can be easily established that suitable instruments and methods of measurement are needed for this kind of quality evaluation, which, however, are not yet available. Suitable instrumentation was developed in this study. Its use was demonstrated in the example of elementary education in Slovenia. Key words: generic competences, students’ skills, methods of teaching, triangulation.

he continuous improvement of modernization level has also gradually improved the surveying and mapping technology. Similarly, the rapid development of science and technology has provided a good environment for the widespread use of information-based surveying and mapping technology. For the surveying and mapping industry, the development of information surveying and mapping technology has good social significance. The development of surveying and mapping technology has undergone many changes. At present, it has gradually moved from digitization to informatization, ensuring the quality of surveying and mapping work to the greatest extent. In view of this, the paper discusses the development of digital surveying and mapping to informatized surveying and mapping, hoping to serve as a reference for related work.
