International criteria for assessment of accreditation of educational activities

Abstract

The article gives a comparative and analytical review of the national systems of accreditation of educational programs according to European, Asia-Pacific and Russian standards of quality assurance in higher education. The emphasis is on the structuring of the main provisions and features of foreign and domestic accreditation systems in the field of education. The main universal blocks of educational activity assessed at accreditation are identified: management of educational process, resources and provision of educational activity, competence and qualification model of a graduate. In accordance with the principles of international and national standards, the requirements to the accreditation procedures of educational activity are set out in the main (universal) diagnostic blocks. For the evaluation of educational activity during the accreditation of higher education institutions the criteria of achievements are given. It is noted that the most important criterion of quality of education at accreditation is the evaluation of educational achievements of students. Difficulties of evaluation of educational results and ensuring their comparability at the international level for understanding the quality of training of specialists in different educational systems are noted. The lack of reliable evaluation tools creates certain difficulties in accreditation. The most problematic is the development and application of evaluation materials with planned activities to identify the levels of competence of students and graduates.

Hence, the most important task is projected not only for the entire system of modern Russian education, but also for legal education, aimed at finding and comprehensively developing potentially talented and promising representatives of the younger generation [13], who are able to actively participate in the socio-political and legal processes of the modern state, develop advanced technologies [14] and, thereby, form a competitive educational environment in the conditions of interstate integration. This goal-setting cannot be realized without taking into account the objective experience of world science, without extended philosophical knowledge, without the entire sphere of the humanities, including legal sciences.…”

Assessment on the Need for Study Program Curriculum Development: A Preparatory Study for International Accreditation

“…Therefore, the improvement for the learning assessment aspect towards international accreditation is low, especially in terms of giving loads to each CO of assessment instrument. The development of learning evaluation materials to identify student and graduate competencies is the most problematic issue in the assessment of educational activities in international accreditation (Efremova & Tabishev, 2020). Improvements to the assessment system must involve the management of faculties and study programs because the effective learning assessment in OBE employs an automated system.…”
