Abstract

The article updates the role of studentship and student self-government as an active participant in the educational process, a partner in the processes of reforming higher education, that is involved in the government structures of the higher education institution, particularly, in the process of ensuring the quality of higher education. Based on the analysis of normative legal acts and scientific sources, the authors highlight the state and institutional level of influence of student self-government on decision-making regarding the processes of ensuring the quality of education. The foundation for the development of opportunities for student self-government is provided by the state level, that adopts normative legal documents that create prerequisites to the participation of student self-government in the procedures of ensuring the quality of education, particularly, the Law of Ukraine «On Higher Education», that regulates the activities of student self-government bodies in Ukraine; «Standard of higher education»; «Regulations on the Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Training of Higher Education Candidates», that prescribe requirements for the participation of representatives of student self-government in the system of internal quality assurance. The implementation of the above-mentioned legal acts and the student-centered approach in the educational process of higher education institutions are ensured at the institutional level. Student self-government at the institutional level has a significant number of mechanisms and tools for influencing the internal quality assurance of education, for example through: procedures for the formation and implementation of educational programs at higher education institutions; procedures for ensuring the quality of teaching and learning at higher education institutions; procedures for preventing academic dishonesty at higher education institutions. The authors also highlighted the main tools used at higher education institutions considering the opinion of student self-government, such as: surveys, meetings of project groups, academic councils of faculties and higher education institutions, etc. The implementation of the above-mentioned measures, discussion and response to existing problems with representatives of the student body, are the key to improving the quality of education and the prestige of higher education institutions.
学生自治及其在保证高等教育质量中的作用
本文更新了学生和学生自治作为教育过程中的积极参与者,高等教育改革过程中的合作伙伴的作用,即参与高等教育机构的政府结构,特别是在确保高等教育质量的过程中。基于对规范性法律行为和科学来源的分析,作者强调了国家和机构层面的学生自治对确保教育质量过程决策的影响。发展学生自治机会的基础由国家层面提供,国家通过规范性法律文件,为学生自治参与确保教育质量的程序创造先决条件,特别是乌克兰《高等教育法》,该法律规定了乌克兰学生自治机构的活动;《高等教育标准》;《高等教育候选人培训教育项目认证条例》,规定了学生自治代表参与内部质量保证体系的要求。上述法律法规的实施和以学生为中心的教育方针在高校教育过程中得到了保障。在机构一级,学生自治有许多影响教育内部质量保证的机制和工具,例如通过:高等教育机构教育方案的形成和实施程序;确保高等教育机构教学质量的程序;高等教育机构防止学术欺诈的程序。作者还强调了高等教育机构在考虑学生自治意见时使用的主要工具,如:调查、项目小组会议、学院和高等教育机构学术委员会等。落实上述措施,与学生群体代表讨论和回应存在的问题,是提高教育质量和高校声誉的关键。
