The relevance of the research problem is due to the need to identify new approaches to the development of integration processes in the sphere of education, creation and active use of managerial innovations in the education system. System and cluster approaches to the study of pedagogical possibilities of the cluster as an ordered and complex object, composed of interconnected elements, are used as a basic guideline of the established scientific finding of the current system. The authors used theoretical research methods, providing a systematic analysis of scientific and methodological literature; empirical methods in the study of normative, directive and methodical documents; the modeling method to simulate the properties, structure and functions of the studied object on a specially developed model. The article presents the methodology of the teaching cluster in the regional educational space, the management mechanisms of cluster's and algorithm's development of separate participants of network interaction. It is shown that the success of pedagogical formation of clusters is determined by the acceleration of information exchange and networking, by the facilitated access to new educational technologies, improving the efficiency of knowledge transfer processes, using intellectual, material and information resources in training teachers and conducting research activities.

The study, whose results are presented in this article was performed with financial support RFBR and ANO AISI in the framework of scientific project No. 19-011-31346 "State policy of reproduction of human potential of science". The study showed that young scientists demonstrate a low level of confidence in their ability to manage research teams, a low level of trust in the official mechanisms of state regulation of the development of science in the absence of effective communication channels between researchers, society and the state. In the course of in-depth semi-structured interviews and online questionnaires, key groups of barriers to successful career growth in science for young scientists are identified and justified: financial, organizational, and moral and ethical. In this regard, there is currently an urgent need to support the part of young scientists who can potentially appear as leaders of research teams in the implementation of state tasks and grants from scientific funds. The study was developed structural-functional model of pedagogical and scientific-methodical support of professional development of young scientists through a specially organized system of interrelated actions, activities, and pedagogical and psychological events focused on reflection of professional experience, personal transformation, self-actualization, contributing to the achievement of professional success as the young scientist and research team as a whole.

Relevance. Currently, the most popular public administration mechanism in the field of education is the assessment of the quality of educational services rendered, an important component of which is an independent assessment of the quality of conditions for implementing educational activities. The use of the ECSI methodology based on structural equation modeling (SEM) can make an important contribution to the development of mechanisms for the independent assessment of the quality of education (IAQE). The research purpose is to study the possibilities of using the method of statistical data analysis for an independent assessment of the quality of conditions for implementing educational activities in the process of clarifying and confirming the results of monitoring studies in education. Materials and methods. Structural equation modeling was used to study data obtained in 1,143 educational institutions of the Sverdlovsk region (Russian Federation) located in 30 municipal districts, 25 cities, 4 closed administrative-territorial entities. The general population of respondents selected for the IAQE was 350,950 people, including parents (legal representatives) – 298,485 people (85%) and students aged over 14 – 52,465 people (15%). Research results. An original methodology for statistical analysis of data from an independent assessment of the quality of education has been developed. The method of structural equation modeling revealed statistically significant links between indicators with integral criteria of structural SEM-models of the IAQE. In particular, the structural SEM-model of the IAQE has a single negative value of the regression coefficient r=-1.32 for the indicator "Availability of information about the organization's teachers on its official website", and the structural SEM-model of the IAQE criterion "Comfort of the conditions in which educational activities are carried out" found the smallest value of the regression coefficient r=0.36 for the indicator "Availability of conditions for organizing the training and education of students with disabilities and disabled people". These results of the statistical analysis of the IAQE allow identifying directions for improving educational and management practices in the region. Conclusion. The developed original methodology can be used to clarify and confirm the results of monitoring studies in the field of independent assessment of the quality of conditions for implementing educational activities in the regions, especially in cases of any questions about the results of the studies conducted and obtaining controversial results.
