THE REVIEW OF APPROACHES TO UNDERSTANDING

ESSENCE OF QUALITY OF EDUCATION

 

The word "quality" is widely used in a life, business communication, in applied and theoretical scientific works. At the same time term "quality" uses in education demands its discussion. So, A.K. Kusainov and M.N. Sarybekov claim that quality of education can't be reduced only to the sum of levels of quality of training in various subjects. It is defined, first of all, by extent of familiarizing of the student to the complete sphere of future professional activity reached in the course of realization of an educational program [1].  G.M. Mutanov, A.K. Tomilin, Y.E. Kukina, etc. define quality of education as degree of compliance of educational system not only to requirements of standards and normative documents, but also requirements to consumers of all categories [2]. 

V.P. Panasyuk gives the following definition: quality of school education is such set of properties which, causing its ability to satisfy social needs for formation and development of the personality for aspects of her training, good breeding, expressiveness of social, mental and physical properties [3]. In work S.B. Shilova and V.A. Kalney quality of education is treated as the social category defining a state and productivity of process of education in society, its compliance to requirements and expectations in formation and development civil, household, professional competences of the personality [4]. A.M. Moiseyev defines the concept "quality of education at school" as set of essential properties and characteristics of results of the education, capable to satisfy needs of school students, societies, customers on education [5]. According to Abdymanapov S. A. quality of university education needs to be done not so much from this, with what knowledge entrants arrived, and what knowledge and abilities they got in higher education institution, with what knowledge and skills enter labor life [6]. M.Ì. Potashnik understands quality of education as a purpose and result ratio as measures of achievement of the objectives thus that the purposes (results) are set only operationally and are predicted in a zone of potential development of the school student [7].

The analysis of the given definitions shows that one authors in the treatment of quality of education are focused on needs of the personality and society; the second - on the created level of knowledge, abilities, skills and other socially significant qualities; the third - on set of properties and results; the fourth - on the purposes and results; the fifth - on ability of educational institution to satisfy requirements.

The opinion S. A. Matskevich who allocates the following types of scientific approaches to the quality of education is of special interest, characterizing not so much the scientific theory, behavioral self-determination of the scientist or the subject who is responsible for quality how many define [8]:

1)     Anarchical at the heart of which the belief about uselessness of introduction of standards and subjectivity of definition of criteria of quality lies.

2)     Quality management approach by result which restores tradition of the Soviet pedagogic on uniformity, with small correction and modernization of criteria of quality.

3)     Technological approach is characterized by existence of a number of the purposes of education and ways of their achievement.  It is supposed that standards and criteria of quality have to be developed in relation to concrete technology.

4)     Methodological (reflexive) approach assumes mobility and response to change deduction of a valuable and pragmatic framework is more whole than education and conditions of their realization, and also.  However the technology, how much preservation of the principles of a humanization, humanitarization, education democratization is priority not so much.

Each subject of educational process is interested in ensuring quality of education. To quality values are attributed various, often inconsistent:

-       parents, for example, can correlate quality of education to development of identity of their children;

-       quality for teachers can mean existence of the qualitative curriculum provided with training materials; for pupils quality of education, undoubtedly, contacts intra school climate;

-       for business quality of education corresponds to a living position, skills, knowledge of graduates;

-       for society quality is connected with those valuable orientations and is wider - values being trained which will find the expression, for example, in a civic stand, in a technocratic or humanistic orientation of their professional activity.

As a whole, it is obvious that quality of education is a multidimensional, complex concept which is determined by consensus of all interested parties by coordination of requirements, is described through system of the valuable and semantic, target, substantial, organizational and other properties correlated to social norms. It is the integrated characteristic and result of educational system.
