MODELS OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN GENERAL SECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC DIMENSIONS

Abstract

International and domestic models of quality management in general secondary education institutions are analyzed in the paper. The key characteristics of the international EFQM, IQMS and Baldrige Education models are considered, including their conceptual foundations, structural components and quality assessment mechanisms. It was found that the mentioned models represent different management logics – process-oriented, subject-evaluation and result-analytic – and have limitations regarding direct application in the domestic educational context.
Based on the structural decomposition of the models, their strengths and areas of possible use in the quality management system of the general secondary education institution are determined. The expediency of the integration of the process logic of management, mechanisms for evaluating pedagogical activity and the analytical-resultative approach is substantiated, provided that they are adapted to the requirements of the internal system of ensuring the education quality and the regulatory field of Ukraine.
The domestic scientific approaches to the management of the education quality are analyzed, in particular the concept of adaptive management, qualitative modeling, the systemic interpretation of quality and the model of state-public management, which ensure the integration of managerial, pedagogical and social aspects of the functioning of an educational institution. Their methodological consistency and practical orientation, regarding the consideration of educational specifics, regulatory requirements and stakeholder participation, have been established. Summarizing the results of the study made it possible to determine the key principles of building an integrative model of quality management of a general secondary education institution, including: systematicity, adaptability, results orientation, integration of internal and external evaluation mechanisms, as well as the separation of development and control functions. The expediency of considering the internal system of ensuring the education quality as a basic platform for constructing such a model has been proven.
