Abstract

In this paper a comparative analysis of international and Russian practice assessing the quality of early childhood education at the level of educational institutions is made. Different concepts and ideas about education quality assessment of young children are researched. It is shown that the category of quality varies depending on 1) the purposes of pre-school education, formulated at the level of the national education system and local levels; 2) positions of different actors involved to the site; 3) different levels at which there is a realization of preschool education programs in the country. The most common and popular tools for assessing 1) the conditions of children in the OED, and 2) the educational results of children (the dynamics of the students) were analyzed. It has been shown that there are two groups of problems of preschool education, defining education as a process of developing, or oriented to the needs of the system. The last experience in assessing the quality of preschool education in Russia was analyzed. The main focus of the analysis was on the model of quality assessment, development and testing which was conducted in 2011-2013. It has been shown that this model as a whole does not meet the requirements of the modern Russian legislation, and in addition, relies mainly on formal characteristics and should be substantially modified.
