Description
In the article we have reflected a relationship between
the parameters of the research activities of scientific
and pedagogical collectives and the characteristics of
the educational environment in higher education. It is
known that the research activities of scientific and
pedagogical workers and teams - an integral part
functioning of the higher education institution (and
improving its efficiency is one of the most important
problems). The authors proved that parameters
reflecting research activity of scientific and
pedagogical higher education of institution employees
characterize the aspects of the educational
environment as its latitude, intensity, social activity,
coherence, mobility, stability, reliability and
efficiency. It is caused by the fact that the research
activities of scientific and pedagogical workers - a
multifaceted social and cultural phenomenon. The idea
of the diagnosis of the educational environment of a higher educational institution and its structural units,
based on an assessment of scientometric indicators
(criteria for research productivity), can be completely
suitable for international and Russian requirements:
the well-known Shanghai procedure shifts the
emphasis on the evaluation of various aspects of the
research activities in higher education; serious
attention to assessing the research activity focuses and
Russian technique diagnostic efficiency of higher
education institutions. This is logical and soundly: if
the educational environment of a higher educational
institution is not a center of science, then it cannot
have effectively and competitive graduates, because
Research and pedagogical staff - the governing factor
in the educational process. Based on previously
developed models of research activities in scientific
and pedagogical collectives, as well as on generally
accepted models of educational environments, the
authors have proposed a method for the diagnosis of
the educational environment, based on an assessment
of scientometric indicators - parameters reflecting the
impact of the research activities of scientific and
pedagogical workers. Obtained results may be the
theoretical basis for further scientific understanding of
the problem of increasing the productivity of research
activities in higher education, as well as problems -
increasing the competitiveness of educational
environments. The practical significance of the results
of this study - the possibility of their use in the system
of socio-pedagogical monitoring - monitoring of
productivity the research activities and effectiveness of
educational environments. Methods of investigation:
modeling, methods of the theory of sets and relations,
methods of probability theory and mathematical
statistics, methods of the theory of limits, methods of
linear algebra and analytic geometry, multi-parameter
analysis of the systems and methods of quality control
(latent variables theory). Methodological bases of
research: a systematic, metasystem, qualimetric,
sociological and probabilistic and statistical
approaches
