THE MECHANISM FOR CARRYING OUT THE PROCESS OF RATING EVALUATION OF TEACHING STAFF IN AZERBAIJAN STATE PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Abstract
The education system is more sluggish than other areas of social life, so quality changes in it have been noticeable recently. Since the education system has largely been out of sight of reformers, change here has largely occurred in a decentralized, gravity-driven manner. Many of them were perceived as the degradation and destruction of the education system in general, although in fact a qualitatively new education system is emerging.
Various rating parameters usually act as proxies for quality. For example, information about students is usually used as an indicator of selectivity; the number of citations and publications in international journals is used as an indicator of academic quality; financial costs indicate the quality of infrastructure; employment statistics indicate the quality of graduates; reputation can be measured by summing up all indicators.
The topic of university ranking has recently become quite relevant in international and local practice. There is a tendency to improve the quality of programs and courses offered by universities in the European Higher Education Area. The declarations made by the European ministers who signed the Bologna Declaration are aimed at ensuring and demonstrating the quality of the educational offer against the background of the rapidly growing international demand for higher education, which requires more and more investment.
