The purpose of this research is to determine the proficiency levels of teachers giving computer education in high schools regarding blended learning. In this study, the competencies of teachers who give computer education in high schools regarding blended learning were handled in accordance with the survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods. The study group of the research consists of 345 computer teachers who teach in high schools in the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan in the 2021–2022 academic year. The data of the study were collected with the blended learning proficiency scale developed by the researchers. As a result of the research, it was seen that the teachers giving computer education in high schools were high in the motivation sub-dimension of blended learning and moderate in the application sub-dimension. It has been determined that the blended learning competencies of the teachers are at a moderate level throughout the scale. Teachers’ competencies in blended learning show a significant difference according to the gender variable. As a result of the research, it was determined that the blended learning competencies of female teachers were higher than male teachers. It was concluded that teachers’ blended learning competencies did not show a significant difference according to the seniority variable. In-service training courses should be organised to increase the blended learning competencies of teachers giving computer education in high schools.

Higher education institutions are becoming increasingly complex and self-developing systems. Monitoring the activities of such systems requires a special approach and includes three main elements, that is, external monitoring, independent evaluation and internal monitoring. In the framework of this article, the main task of monitoring is the analysis and disclosure of internal patterns, causes and trends of the development processes of a university. In these conditions, the need to move to a broader model for solving and reducing complexity based on information and knowledge is revealed. The model reduces the uncertainty of the environment and thus provides more effective decision-making. The monitoring model includes changes in the strategic planning process that are consistent with the characteristics of the new organizational model. Ontologies, as a theory of content, which allow formalizing processes and knowledge, are a key element in this context.
