Introduction. In the field of education, the knowledge-focused paradigm shift to the practice-oriented one updates the problems of measurement of learning outcomes as the former methodical tools are no longer available. Currently, there is no reference system for exact evaluation of the quality of acquisition of training programmes focused on the competency-based concept of education. The criteria and materials for the current, intermediate and total control are quite often developed by the educational organisations of different educational levels independently. Such a situation generates the questions about scientific validity and validity of diagnostic tools, as well as the questions about teachers’ readiness for implementation of control-evaluative activity under new conditions.The aim of the study was to investigate the characteristics of evaluative methods used by modern teachers to establish the level of formation of students’ competencies at schools, vocational secondary schools and universities.Methodotogy and research methods. The retrospective theoretical-empirical research was carried out according to I. N. Emelyanova’s typology of evaluative means, according to which the methods of evaluation correspond to the criteria of intellectual or activity-based performance and are subdivided into reproductive, productive, active and interactive. The specific character and dynamics of teachers’ application of didactic control devices of knowledge and skills acquired by students at different levels of education are analysed by means of the systematic prolonged questionnaires (n =50 in 2013; n =89 in 2014; n =351 in 2015; n =612 in 2016/17).Results and scientific novelty. The general positive tendency for the distribution of active methods to consolidate learning outcomes is observed. The ranking list of popular and unpopular didactic technologies in the differentiated pedagogical environment is drawn up. Elementary school teachers most often use game imitating situations; secondary school teachers and senior-level school teachers use problem situations; teachers of vocational schools mostly apply for organisational and activity games; teachers of higher education institutions prefer to hold discussions. However, along with positive dynamics of active methods application for learning assessment, non-systemic use of such methods is noted as well. Also,the authors revealed other weak points when organising student achievement verification. Reproductive techniques continue to dominate at all educational levels and interactive methods of diagnostics are unclaimed: 66% of the respondents of this group never applied assessment techniques and means in practice, which, most certainly, is a deterrent to the realisation of practice-focused approach to education. The conclusion is drawn on inadequate readiness of teachers for appropriate determination of students’ successful acquisition of educational programmes and gaps in their preparation on the criteria required by the Federal State Educational Standards (FSES).Practical significance. The discussion of teachers’ priorities in the choice of tools for the measurement of learning outcomes and identification of the causes of obstacles to the maximum use of resources of modern methods of evaluation contributes to the search of appropriate ways to optimise the system of diagnostics of true education quality.
Introduction. The research topicality lies in the inference that formal education system loses its ability to respond quickly to socio-cultural and technological changes in society. The purpose of the article is to study the international and domestic experience of non-formal education, to identify the practices of non-formal education among students, and to examine the prospects and para doxes of non-formal education. Materials and Methods. The study encompassed such levels as macrosocial, mesosocial, and microsocial. The authors’ methodology comprised two stages. The first part of the research was theoretical. The second part included in-depth interviews (N = 126) and questionnaire results processing (N = 894). Results. The examples of foreign countries show institutional opportunities, regulation mechanisms, and means of recognition of non-formal education. The scale of distribution of non-formal education in the world is presented. The empirical research shows that the absolute majority of the Russian students are not involved in non-formal educational practices. The main objective of non-formal education is to obtain actual knowledge, living and vocational skills within a short time period. Only a third of respondents admit that non-formal education has had a positive ef fect on their employment. Discussion and Conclusion. The study allows to deepen knowledge about the education system transformation, to identify possible strategies to remove young people’s qualification gaps and retards and overcome barriers existing on the labor market. The study results can be used to develop theoretical concepts and conduct a comparative analysis, as well as in practical activities of educational organizations. The study will help identify the opinion of employers regarding their readiness to recognize qualifications earned through non-formal education.

Introduction. The increasing pace of knowledge renewal around the world and the unification of teacher requirements are changing the functioning and management of the higher education system. Transformational processes in the socio-economic sphere of Russia entail profound changes and increased requirements for the educational process at all its levels. The quality of education is largely determined by teachers, their level of training, the presence of the necessary personal characteristics and social and professional competencies.The aim of the present article is to consider the approaches of Russian and foreign researchers to the classification of competencies of scientific and pedagogical workers, to determine the range of personal qualities and key socio-professional competencies of scientific and pedagogical workers in educational and research activities.Methodology and research methods. Semi-structured expert interviews were conducted with 84 scientific and pedagogical workers of Tyumen State University, Tomsk State University, St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, St. Petersburg University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics. The choice of universities is determined by their participation in the Project 5-100 (Russian Academic Excellence Project) and high positions in Russian university ratings.Results and scientific novelty. A comparative analysis of research approaches allowed the authors to identify an unstructured list of priority competencies (necessary for educational and pedagogical activities) of scientific and pedagogical workers of higher educational institutions. Since educational activities at the university are aimed at the formation of certain professional competencies and values among students, the priority personal qualities and socio-professional competencies in educational activities include the following: highly specialised skills and general erudition; methodological skills; continuing professional development; motivation for pedagogical work; communication skills; emotional intelligence and stress resistance; charisma, modernity in communication; justice; critical thinking and reflection. Pedagogical activity at universities is closely related to the participation of the lecturer in scientific research. The success of pedagogical activity is largely determined by the following aspects: professionalism and desire to update competencies; operability and self-control; teamwork skills; analytical skills and academic writing skills; inclusion in the world scientific agenda; adherence to scientific ethics. The research novelty lies in the compilation of the structured list of personal qualities and socio-professional competencies of a modern teacher in educational and research activities.Practical significance. Using the presented range of significant competencies of scientific and pedagogical workers, HR managers in universities can implement specific management projects aimed at developing personal qualities and social and professional competencies of employees, make informed decisions in the selection and development ofpersonnel, and personnel changes. The research results can also be employed by scientific and pedagogical workers of universities when building their individual trajectories of professional and personal development.
