Comparative Analysis and Assessment of Regional Education Systems: Methodology, Techniques and Procedures[Сравнительный Анализ И Оценка Состояния Региональных Систем Образования: Методология, Методики И Процедуры]

The number of control mechanisms had in the education system in recent years included various procedures of comparative evaluation - "monitoring" and ratings. However, their use is not sufficiently justified theoretically. Moreover, in practice, the entire spectrum of existing procedures of ranking the most widespread procedure of "weighted sum", despite the fact that the theory of measurement and the results obtained in the field of scaling lead to conclusion that the correct use of this procedure requires the fulfillment of certain conditions, and in social systems limited to a relatively small circle of applications. As the main object of the work focuses on the regional educational systems and their subsystems. Subject of research - theoretical basis, algorithmic implementation and testing of the comparative assessment of regional education systems (and subsystems). The results of the system analysis of the mechanisms and procedures of comparative evaluation, an algorithm ranking (rating form) on the basis of separation procedures and the results of its use for comparative assessment of the subsystems of preschool education of regional educational systems. Analysis of the results leads to the conclusion about the applicability of the proposed algorithm and the need to continue work in this direction, in particular - towards the development of information and software decision support system for comparative evaluation of educational systems.
